ALUMNI IDEALS.
More Extracts from Letters About.
the Next President.
The WEEKLY is. still embarrassed
with the abundance of ‘the material
which alumni have very generously fur-
nished in the discussion of the qualities
of the next President. It is possible
again only to take, almost at random,
a few more selections from letters in
which the Yale idea about the Yale
President is, as the WEEKLY looks at
t, profitably expressed.
It ts remarkable with what cheer-
fulness and confidence nearly all of the
alumni speak. There is hardly a tone
of bitterness about the past in all the
voices that have been raised on the
question. The view is not only
towards the future, and the position one
of youthful Yale hope and confidence,
but there is a general expression of the
feeling that the foundations have been
well laid, and the superstructure, even,
carried well along, not only on safe
lines, but on generous lines. It is an
attitude of gratitude for the past quite
as distinctly as of great faith in the
future.
A WESTERN OPINION.
A man in one of the Western cities
writes:
_ “As far as general expression was ad-
vanced it was to this effect: The Presi-
dent should be a Yale man, a scholar
first, and if possible a man of affairs
also. He should be a young man rather
than an old one. Personally, I think he
should be an American. But I suppose
there is some difference of opinion as
to what this means.”
A BELIEVER WANTED.
A New England lawyer writes:
“He ought to be a Yale man, and
familiar with, but not bound by its
traditions.
Preferably he ought not now to be
connected with the College, but fully in
sympathy with its past.
_ Above all things, he must not be an
iconoclast by temperament,
critic of men or things, but a believer.
The mugwump is a good thing in poli-
tics, but principles in business and pro-
fessional life are absolutely necessary
fora mans Own success and to gain
and to sustain the support ‘of others.”
A PRACTICAL STATEMENT.
An alumnus of a large Pennsylvania
city says:
“T think the feeling is general that the
new President should be a Yale man;
if possible, in the neighborhood of 55
and of distinction in the educational
world. There seems to be considerable
to enable him to deal with men.
noe" 2
talk against his being a minister, but
the conclusion generally is that it-is all
right to havé a minister if he has ability
and is broad-minided.”
FACULTY SHOULD SELECT.
A teacher gives his «plan of choice
thus:
“In reply to your request for opinion
in regard to the Presidency of Yale,
I should like to say that in my judg-
ment the selection and virtual nomina-
tion should come from the Faculty.
They are and always should be the real
governing body of every college, being
in the position where they can _ best
judge of the requirements of the case.”
STRONG CONFIDENCE IN THE CHOICE.
A San Francisco alumnus of marked
business ability and of strong intellec-
tual life, was away from home when
asked for a Yale California opinion,
but in order to express his faith wired
back as follows:
“Your telegram just received, for-
warded by mail to me here five hundred
miles distant from San Francisco. Too
late now to answer. With so great an
office to confer and with so large and so
distinguished ability of alumni from
which to select, Yale cannot and will
not make any mistake in naming her
President. He will be one worthy to
wear the mantle of his illustrious pre-
decessors and like them will have the
gift of pointing the way and inspiring
the wayfarer to the highest ideals of
scholarship and of truth.”
SCHOLAR AND CHRISTIAN..
A New England editor says:
“In the first place, the President
should be a scholar. Yale is an in-
stitution of learning and her President
must be a learned man and not a
drummer.
“In the second place, he should be
a Christian gentleman. The traditions
of the College demand this, as do the
sentiments of the alumni and the spirit
of New England civilization.
“In the third. place, he must have tact
This
is almost indispensable. A man can be
a scholar and a Christian and be, in
spite of those essential qualifications,
absolutely unfit for the Presidency of
Yale.
“T think the sentiment of the alumni
is decidely in favor of breaking the old
notion that the man must be a Congre-
gational or any other minister.
would rather have a layman.”
A CONSERVATIVE VIEW.
This is from a legal and thoughtful
alumnus of more than thirty years, liv-
ing in Ohio:
“We ought not to name a President
from any other motive than the good of
Yale and the continuance of the present
successful policy. In fine the rule
They.
should be to disturb as slightly as pos-
sible the present efficient policy of Yale,
and to be guided by what experience
has proved to be worthy, without im-
porting the experiments ‘of other insti-
tutions.”
