that it is unusual to find a man of
the church who is not circumscribed
in his other activities. This has not

Il do not know of another banquet

from every part of Arizona.
Long Regent

as the state is concerned. Dean
Scarlet has had the longest tenure
of office of any regent of the state

state a real university of which we
all are justly and definitely proud.
He has been, in a particular sense,

er. After a witty examination Of the
duties of the chancellor, which he
characterized as a trade between him
and Bishop Atwood that he should
take care of the Bishops business in

said:
1T would be impossible, in outlin-
ing the place that the cathedral has
taken in the life OF the church since
the middle ages for me to enunerate
all the institutions of the cathedral,
either generally or in particular. as
in the case OF our own cathedral
But / can pay a sincere tribute TO
Dean Scarlet for what he has done
in the institutions of our own parish.
especially for his eager acceptance
of the opportunity to set the boys

pathway of life-a pathway of serv-

During the years In which have
been associated with Dean Scarlet

but in every stand that he has taken
there has been a maximum OF good.
He has not been practical always.
but he has always searched for the
ideal. and for IL years we have had
the privilege in this parish of looking
up to one of the great ideaGsts of
America"

came here II years ago in answer to
a. most enticing letter from Bishop
Atwood who described in glowing
terms the cathedral, the parish house
and all the beauties that would greet
the dean when he arrived. But when
Dean Scarlet came to Phoenix, he
looked in vain for the cathedral. and
Bishop Atwood showed him every
thing else in town. Then Dean Scar

right to work and today, at the end
of Second avenue, is the great Trim
to his ability, his courage and his
diligence.
"You have heard from the speak
ers who preceded me how broad
minded the dean is, but I can tell
you what the exact measure of his
liberality has been. They say that

had more than a wee nippy.' entered
the deans church to hear him preach
and when they came out one of them
remarked to the other:
THAT man is certainly a fine
preacher. I came in Lutheran and

community and for the interests of
all in it, This is shown by the fact
that tonight a cross section of the
life of the community has been
