Taft's EuIogy Of Cleveland.
Former President Taft's estimate OF
Grover Cleveland as expressed in his
Grafton was as follows:
"Mr. Cleveland was not a great
lawyer; he was not great economist;
he was not a great orator; but he
was a great President and great
man; and he was these because of
the strong mind, clear intelligence
and wide knowledge of affairs. He
and sense of public duty which en-
abled him to meet great and critical
issues without regard to personal con-
sequences. When he was nominated
for the third time for the presidency
he was nominated against the Will OF
the politicians and by a popular up
rising in the ranks of the party. He
was a partisan and believed in par
ties, as everyone must who wishes
I,- ,s,V,f % en-
he looked upon party as an instru-
ment of good government, and when
it was made an instrument to accom-
plish purposes disastrous TO the pub
lie veal he refused to follow 1t. The
party left him to embrace new doc
trines whose support properly sub
jected it to a popular distrust which
kept it out of power for three sue
cessive presidential terms.
when he left the White House the
last time it would seem that the bit
terness of the enmity and open at
tack upon him by his former party
associates would overWhelm him ana
that his leaving Office without party
was a humiliation hard to bear. But
as years wore on, in his dignified re-
tirement, in the great benefit he
wrought for this great university,
and in the wide influence for good he
exercised in the country. the whole
public began to perceive with clear
ness the exceptional qualities of the
man which had shown forth in crises
during his presidency. Now that the
voice of the partisan critics and the
naopIe can see him in due proper
ton with other men of history, ne
takes the place he earned among the
mon entitled to the gratitude OF their
country"
Graduate College buildings.
The Graduate College buildings in
clude the Pyne tower, which forms
the entrance TO the common por-
lions of the colleg; the Great Hall,
used for dining purposes: breakfast
rooms, commons rooms, the quarters
of the master of the college and the
resident buildings of the students.
The Cleveland tower stands in the
southeast corner of the quadrangle
erouD and is Gothic in style, as are
all the other buildings. The base OF
the tower is simple and without orna-
ment, but it takes on q greater rlch-
ness of treatment towards the top, |
which is an elaborate scheme of lace
like pinnacles worked out in stone.
In the lower story of the tower is
its entrance is a niche for a seated
bronze statue of Grover Cleveland$l
Above the niche is Mr.. Clevelands
