Silver helped to steer the early steps and, speaking of Silver, the following "Citation for Exceptional Service to Public Education in New Hampshire" was given at the Commence- ment exercises of Plymouth Teachers College in June: "This citation is awarded to an educational leader for outstanding administration for many years in the schools of the state.

"As teacher, headmaster, superintendent, and president of Plymouth Teachers College, his warm personality and forward-looking policies have long influenced the educational program of the state.

"After becoming President Emeritus of Plymouth Teachers College, .he entered service on a wider scale as Chairman of the Education Committee of the House of Representatives of the General Court of New Hampshire, where he has sponsored farreaching legislation for the improvement of education.

"It is with humility and gratitude that the NewHampshire State Board of Education presents this award to Ernest L. Silver, beloved citizen of New Hampshire."
