writes concerning DIR. Lewis:
THE fact that DR.. Lewis was year
ago appointed fellow in philosophy
for f9O9- 1o---there being only one fell
low annually in the department-tells
completely the story of how highly
we regard his merits as a scholar and
as a worker In his subjects. I unhes-
| itatingly recommend him as man
| we'll fitted for the postSof college
] professor. He is mature, clean-cut in
| his thinking, industrious, scholarly IN
| his chosen subjects-in short. man
| who has made the most of his educa-
| tional opportunities"

there is an insistent demand for Their
