Excerpt from Lehigh Alumni Bulletin, Vol. 16: February, 1929 Lehigh' s alumni are primarily responsible for the present flourishing condition of the University.

Our President would be the last person to solicit verbal bouquets, or to be misled by dutiful flattery, but back of the educator is the man, as human as the humblest of us, to whom an occasional evidence of friendly interest brings encouragement and renewed inspiration.
