theories. II IS an lnSfalhPu part f his being, He admires Ulysses s. Grant because he worked. He made progress This conception of life Is intimately inter- woven with his ideas of government and society. Freedom demands work because it is not gift but an achieve ment. He insists that there is no substitute for militant freedom,' He regrets that we Americans think we can take our blessings Of free govern ment and our heritage of noble tradi- tions and enjoy them without reali2- irg that eternal vigilance is necessary. Independence is exceedingly eNacting, self-control is arduOus, selfgoNernmcnt is difficult We must all pay the price of freedom. Liberty and leisure are mutually exclusive just as work and life are synonymous. When VIC all learn to work in peace as we did in war our country's evils will dimin- ,sh and our confidence in its ideals will deepen. Thus he thinks and acts. He is the personincation of work,
 "In the largest sense Of the term he is patient man. He knows thai time will do it's perfect work, He does not judge conditions or civilizations or government in terms of a day, a month or year. He instinciireiy takes tho long look, He knows thor oughly the history of our country and understand. with keen insight tho principles which we represent.
 
 "Ho calmly writes that the great forces of other centuries conHerg"d m 1 America. They are working out a new destiny here, If is not for us 10 view them with too much impaiicnca. i This philosophy of progress and his- tory is no mere intellectual conclusion. 1 In his presence you feel it as living reality. He makes a calm, unhurricd steady approach 10 the tasks of llte. No one can throw him into a panic i for he sees life steadily and sces II whole. Perhaps this helps one to u1- derstand one Of his most appealing qualities. Any man in ihc turmoil or practical politics must deal w.ih many conflicting forces. He cannot please everyone. Therefore some for the time, become hostile and critical. This condition is inevitable in the life Of any administrator This man. in 4 very remarkable way takes his pun ishment auietly and silently. Al times he must oppose what appears 10 some as an unqualified good Because he recognizes it's temporary benefits and sees in ,he distant future that it must work an evil to society. Through all such experiences he walks with tho spirit of human understanding He knows that time will heal tho hurt His sense of time explains inc thor oughnrss Of his work and his intoler- ancc for supcrficiality. He must have inc facts af first hand and will uoi base decisions on partial knowledge Of the situation lle win not be hur- rind. He ayoide extremes and loves proportion. Life does not consist of | detached unrelated eyent. N is a unity welded together by inc alchemy Of time. He knous how tU wait and not he tired br waiting When he acts you know he sill moi be iuapotu- ous because he takes time to think to the soul of things Democracy. in her careless laundering confidence, IS in dire need of such leadership
 Has hc a sense of hun1or? Elm pAatically yes. V is mol Inc type that wastes time in recountins incidents or ever increasing triteness. There is an aiertnass about his mind and a nfm blrress of his spirit which are very attractive. These qualities do not eN- press themselves in just fine ordinary forms Al times you might imagine he had not even heard nhat was being said. Then he drops a remark which makes you realize that he has taken several steps in advance and has mol his finger on Inc real point. He is moi given to hilarity His humor is dry and delishtful and its expression as 2
