High Praise for Achievements.

'tBy his administrative ability, his
rare tact, his quiet irmness. his excel
lent judgment of men and his unselfish
sity, he animated the trustees to yigor-
GUS efforts. he encouraged the faculty
to unprecedented sacrifice, he stimulated
the loyalty OF the students and he re-
newed the faith of the public. After
eight years of service. the university
has been placed on a thoroughly sound
financial basis, its teaching force
strengthened and its student body great
ly increased. Its steady and peaceful
growth has been the result of conserva-
tive methods maintained and promoted
within the lines of constructive expan-
sion. The characteristic OF Admiral
Stockton's administration has been the
firm security with which each forward
step has been taken in such a manner
that each advance h.s been safely and
permanently retair ID.
'The chief o>.icial concern of the
trustees has been with the business
administration of the university and
this has led them to appreciation of
Admiral Stocktons ability and to
admiration for his success, but his un-
selfShness, his modesty. his kindli-
ness of thought, his breadth of UNDER
standing and his uprightness of soul
have led them to an affection for him
as a man which has grown greater
with closer acquaintance. They have
the widespread benefits to the STU
dents derived from their relations
with a leader of his unusual gifts of
personal character, shedding light
wherever present and ennobling by
example.
