manufacturers you gave them {
broader vision, a better view OF man
kind, even of the other fellow will
whom there was strong competition
for trade and profit.
For these things you deserve higf
honor and we r. happy to recltt
them and for them we bring gar
lands of respect and expression o.
our gratitude for your many serV'
ices to make better government Bu'
in particular we are here today tc
recall your great service to the edu'
cational department OF our state. Ii
would be fitting indeed thai we
should tell the story of your enter
ing the lists almost alone and de
handing that our state of New Jer-
sew, large in the production Of cera-
mics, should have a school fol
teaching the elements of this great
Industry. The GOODNESS, the indif-
ference, the opposition you encoun-
tered would have broken the spirit
of a less brave man, but eve once
did you falter or lose heart, but ever
came to the contest with new cour-
age and determination-giving in
SEPARATION to the few who had faith
with YOU and in the end bringing
about YOUR objective, tho creation OF
a school for education in the we'll
known, yet little known, the Oldest
of arts-the moulding and burning
of crude clay materials into most
beautiful forms.
You had done well and could in
deed have rested upon your accomp-
lishment, but rest seemed not to
have been in your desire when there
was still an opportunity to improve
that which your efforts in so large a
measure had brought about. Thus.
when the time came to demand a
building suitable for the ceramic
school, Charles A. Bloowfeld, not
so much alone now, but still at the
head of the forces, marched down
to Trenton and never retreated from
the effort Until he and his army
brought home the authority for the
new building with them.
Yes, our dear friend, we asked
ourselves the question: What shall
be done to the man whom u whole
industry delighteth to honor?" and
we have endeavored to answer that
question by having produced a por-
trait OF our honored friend and as
sociate, the mar who has ever stood
in the front rank of our industry,
whose efforts will eve have more
than adequate appreciation and that
portrait we here on this fitting day
and occasion, and in commemoration
of the completion and institution of
the ceramic school in its new build
ing, present to you, u loved leader
in this great endeavor, asking that
if it meet with your approval the
portrait be placed upon the walls of
the assembly room of the Ceramics
Building on the campus at Rutgers
College and the State University of
New Jersey.
The picture will ever be an inspir-
alton to the students of the school;
it will declare during the years to
come the features of a truly great
man who did so much to make the
school possible and as it will induce
them to study his life, they will learn
of his honesty of purpose, great in
dustry, unfaltering courage, with de-
will learn further that no man was
might be more.
MI blOOLIlIe4O, our as
sociate, u loved friend, we con-
graduate you on this day. but more
we congratulate ourselves that we
have had the great pleasure of
knowing and associating with YOU
a prince Of entertainers, g. leader of
men and the memory of this day will
never pass from IL minds and our
hearts. We present you with this
token of u goodwill and enduring
friendship.
