OLDS INAUGURATED
AS AMHERST HEAD
Faculty Member, When Coolidge
Entered College, Succeeds
Meiklejohn.
BY the Associated Press.


o. AMHERST, Mass, November IL
DR.. George Daniel olds. who was a
member Of the faculty when Calvin
Coolidge entered Amherst College, in
1891, and later was made an honorary
member Of President Coolidge's class.
was inaugurated today as ninth pres
ident of the institution.
In his inaugural address he said
that conservative and progressive
forces must work together in pro-
noting sane and vital progress In
thinking.
Dr. Olds has been acting president
since the resignation OF Alexander
Meil1lejohn, in June. 1928, after a con-
troversy over liberalism. President
Coolidge is trustee of the college.
Picturing the ideal trustees and the
ideal faculty, DR.. Olds said:
Tolerance IL Advised.
Such a board OF trustees will be
tolerant, will realize that times
change and we change with them
that theories of education pass and
new ones take their places, not be-
in their day, but because new condi-
tions of thought and life need new
remedies.
THE ideal attitude toward educa-
tion process seems to suggest the
analogy Of the airplane. Without
motion 1t must fall: without resist
ance it cannot fly"
THE teacher must inhale freedom
and exhale freedom. He must be con-
scious that he Is leading his pupil
in the world OF glorious adventure.
yet he must never fail to remind him
that there are moorings and buoys.
and that by these he must steer his
course"
A tribute from President Coolidge
to DR.. Olds was read by Dwight Nor
row of the board of trustees.
ut is with a great deal of regret
that 1 have to decline the invitation
to be present at the inaugura ton of
President Olds. He began his career
at Amherst at the same time that
my class began its career. know
he was a good teacher because was
able to pass the examinations that
he gave us in mathematics. I am
certain that he will be good presi-
dent, for he is a man Of ability, Of
vision and Of high ideals, and has
that strength Of character which is
the result of a sound and honest
mind.
