The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1920-07-07

Moscow Chamber of Commerce, fol-
lowed with a short address. The
speaker dwelt upon the appreciation
of the business men of the services
rendered by DR.. Lindley while presi-
dent of the university. The speaker
in part said: "Three years ago the
! business men of Moscow were very
apprehensive in regard to the future
of the university. A sense of relief
was at once manifested among the
business men when it was learned
that DR.. Lindley had been elected
president of Idaho's university. The
wisdom of the board of regents three
years ago in making the selection
has been fully and completely mani
fest during the past three years.
Idaho can at least have the distinc-
tion of discovering great university
executive in DIR. Lindley and that we
are extremely sorry that our sister
state of Kansas has also discovered
in DR.. Lindley the qualifications
which he possesses and which makes
his services so desirable as the head
of it's leading state educational in
stitution. The business men of Mos
COW are not narrow in their views
and while it is with a deep sense of
regret that Idaho must lose the serv-
ices of DR.. Lindley yet we congratul-
ate the state of Kansas upon it's wis
dom in the selection of DR.. Lindley
upon the wisdom and broader field of
endeavor which he will soon under
take. We feel that DR.. Lindley has
earned the promotion and that his
success in his new field of endeavor |
is certain.
'In DR.. Lindley, Idaho found more
than merely an executive for its uni
versity. In all fields of endeavor in
the state and in the northwest, DR..
Lindley has been Of real assistance
and his advice has always been con-
structive in character. We know that
he has been able to meet with all of
the different people of the state of
Idaho and advise with them. DR..
Lindley has endeavOred, and with
success, to show that there is no
place in life for strife and antagon-
ism, and this has been especially true
IN his advice to labor and capital. Dr.
Lindley has brought the University
If Idaho in close touch and in close
with all of the people of
he state and thru him the university
las Deen constructive FACTOR IN all
ines of endeavor in the state.
We are looking forward to the time
When the new president will be chos-
n for the University of Idaho but
We look forward with confidence to !
he future of our state university. 2
ould pay DR.. Lindley no higher COM
lement than to say at this time that
he work he has done in Idaho has
een so thorough, and the paths
narked SO plain, that we feel that the
ew president of the university can
ot but carry on to final success the
'reat work which has been so well
eveloped during the three short
ears of DR.. Lindley's endeavor. We
id DR.. Lindley goodbye and God
peed, feeling certain that no mat :
er what field of endeavor may call
OF his services in the future that we
7ill always remember him as a
riend of Idaho, and that whenever
ccasion will permit Idaho will seek {
is advice and bid him welcome, and
nth feeling that he will continue to I
ave a lively interest in the future of /
ur young and growing state, and :
hat he will continue his friendship ;
nth our university and with the de- 8
elopment of our state"
