Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Inauguration of Merrill Edward Gates, Ph; D., LL. D., L. H. D: As President of Amherst College Rev. Dr. Storrs spoke, in part, as follows: By appointment of the trustees it becomes my pleasant and honorable duty, as one of the older members of that body, to act as president of this occasion, when no president is needed, to see that the charter, seal, and keys of the college are delivered to Dr. Merrill E. Gates, to see that he is formally installed in the important and honorable position which he has practically held already for the current academic year. The significant and self-interpreting act of delivering the college insignia will be performed by President Seelye; but I am asked briefly to express for the trustees their sense of the importance of the occasion, with the gratification and high expectation with which they have come to it. The titular dignity only imperfectly represents the importance of the office of college president. He has a large and constant influence in the faculty, and in the board of trustees; and he represents each of these bodies to the other, as no other officer does or can. In this delicate position the college president has often need of the patience which our honored father, Prof. Tyler, has prayed that he may have.
