his labors 1t is requisite to think Of
him as the pivotal personality In the
Red Cross organization. He was not
merely a simple, kindly, unpretend-
ing presiding ofncer. Rather, he was
q skilled manager OF humanitarian
enterprise, directing many different
phases Of wartime activity at home
and overseas. His keen mind was as
useful as his generous heart. He
dealt with the most important Of his
contemporaries on parity which
they were glad to recognize. On the
other hand, he was a confirmed
"commoner"-a great individual who
loved the folk to whom he belonged
and from whom even now he has
not departed.
