"He came to us in 1909, as headmasterof the Hyde Park High School, and as suchhas been directing its affairs for a quarterof a century, during which period it hasbeen outstanding for the high standard ofexcellence maintained in every departmentand in all its activities.

"He is about to retire. Thus do we pauseand contemplate the man and the servicehere rendered by him. An able administrator of scholarly attainments, high purposes, and broad sympathies, he has beenat once an admirable master, counselor,exemplar, and friend in his relations withhis co-workers, as well as with the thousands of youth committed to his care. Radiating from him has been an unusuallywholesome and helpfid influence, reachingthrough those about him into the lives ofmany others, and constituting an impressive contribution to the community.
