Or. Benton 70 Succeed the Late M. H.
Buckham.
In the election of DR.. Guy Potter
Benton as president, the University of
Vermont begins new chapter in the
career Of that useful educational in
stitution. Nearly six months have
elapsed since the death of President
Buckham and during that period the
trustees have labored earnestly to Sc
lect from a large field of candidates
the man best fitted to take up the i'm
portant task OF directing the affairs
of one OF Vermont's greatest enter
prises. The new president comes to
this State in the very prime of life
Thoroughly trained in scholarship, he
has had a wide experience in educa
tional work, both as a public school
official and as the head of two col
legiate institutions He brings to his
new duties ripe experience, a pleasing
personality, marked ability as pub
lie speaker, and notable record Of
usefulness as citizen.
Doctor Benton will succeed a long
line of noble men and eminent schol
airs when he assumes the chair occu-
pied by such men as Sanders, Marsh,
Wheelr, Smith, Pease. Torrey, Angel
and Buckham. The election OF Meth

is evident that these are found in a
high degree in the man whom Ohio
sends TO Vermont.
Under President Buckham the Uni
versity OF Vermont made a notable
record. the story OF which has been
told in This paper Under Acting
President Lyman the high standard
achieved has been maintained and for
his careful and diligent search for
the right man to succeed President
Buckham lie deserves the thanks of
all friends of the institution. A great
opportunity awaits President Benton.
He will find a college well established,
a faculty composed OF able instruc-
tors, a good endowment, and the pos
sibility of making the university a
greater power for good in Vermont
than ever it has been before.
With the dominant position that the
university holds in the State its pres
ident may become the leader in educa-
tional affairs and in many benefcent
enterprises looking toward the up
building of our State Vermont needs
such leadership. Never before were
conditions so encouraging for the ush-
ering in of a more progressive era.
This is not a decadent State. Every
where the discerning student may
read the signs of an awakening to a
realization OF our undeveoped re-
sources and the need of a larger and
broader life.
AS a newspaper earnestly devoted
to the upbuilding OF all that is best in
Vermont, the Journal unites with its
contemporaries in extending to Pres
ident Benton a cordial welcome to
Vermont and in wishing for him a
career OF great usefulness in the ser
vice of the university and OF the
