He never sought or asked for place
or prefermeut.
But 1t was probably as an edu-
Gator that he won his greatest dis
tinction. He was for several years
professor of modern languagers at
Brown university his alma mater
and later president OF the University
OF Vermont. In 1871 he became
president of the University OF Michi-
gan, retiring IN 1909, sineeNwhen he
had been president emeritus. 1t
was during the administration of Or.
Angel that the Michigan institution
took the high rank among our uni-
versities which it today enjoys. The
influence that he exercised. not only
en- that institution, but through It
en- the nation. and the educational
world, was very great. He was wise
~ and sanely progressive, good adj
ministrator. and man with ideals.
