BORN FEBRUARY 12, 1909. DIED APRIL IS, 1865.

By RICHARD HENRY SToDDARD
This whose homely face you look upon
Was one of Natures nasterful, great men;
Born with strong arms, that unfought battle won,
Direct of speech and cunning with the pen,
Chosen for large designs, he had the art
OF winning with his hunor, and he went
Straight to the mark, which the human heart;
Upon his back more than Atlas-load,
The burden of the Commonwealth laid
He stopped and rose up to it, though the road
Shot suddenly downward, not whit disn1ayed
Patiently resolute what the stern hour
Demanded, that he was,-that Man, that Power

Made Good Selection.

DR.. VIM. H. Matthws-Idaho Uni
! yersity couldn't have made a better
selection. | feel that Dean Bran
! non is just the man for the place. He
has the highest qualities that fit him
in every respect for the presidency
of that university. He has quality as
an educator and quality as a man, he
has breadth of religious vision suffi-
cient to deal with all classes, he has
good sound religious convictions and
he is a man of dignity-altogethe he
is man that will represent the state
of Idaho in the highest manner He
not only is an educator, but he also
is practical man. He knows how
to deal with men, and Idaho will find
MIN strong, sympathetic worker in
this respect. AS a man among stu
dents, l don't know of a more popular
man than Dean Brannon. I regret
that North Dakota must lose him, and
feel that Idaho is very fortunate in
securing him.

member of the board of trustees for
a short time, but I have known some
thing of Dean Brannon's work for a
of years. He is very con-
scientious and an effective worker, and
has done much to build up the Univer-
sity of North Dakota and to secure
its present great standing. | am sure
that | voice the sentiment of the en-
tire community when | say that l re-
gret very much to lose him, and at |

gratulate him and wish him God speed |

many things that will be of great |
value to the state, and Idaho will find

Now we are engaged i'll IL
! great civil war, testing whether
that nation or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can
+ long endure. We are met on a
great battle field of that war.
We have come to dedicate por-

! lives that that nation might live
1t is altogether fitting and pro-
. per that we should do this.
But in larger sense we can
. not dedicate, we cannot c0nse-
crate, we cannot hallOw this
ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here,
have cOnsecrated it far beyond
our power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor 4.

here, but it can never forget .
what they did here. 1t is for us,

and ideals of higher manhood and

with him to the University of Idaho

In securing man with such char

and state of Idaho are to be congratu-
lated and Dean Brannon is to be con-
| graduated because he is going to an
institution and state having great pos
sibilities for development, a fact which
will afford him an opportunity of
wider service and greater usefulness.

what we all Known. A. Brannon is
one of the most efficient men the Uni

He has all the qualifications of a sue

predict a great future for him. His
ability as an organizer is well known
to North Dakota educators, and Idaho
university will feel it. He is admir-
ably fitted for the presidency of that
institution.
Dean Jos. Kennedy-We are all
sorry to lose Dean Brannon. Our loss
will be Idaho's gain. The severance
of the ties of twenty years standing,
both personal and professional, is, of
course, painful North Dakota and its
university wish him every success.
Great opportunities for doing things
in Idaho await President-elect Bran
non. Dr. SiSson, the new commission
