can wisely invest and use those that are
sure to pour in. We wish a conserva-
tive man, but he must be broad. Above
all, he must be a Yale graduate.”
BUFFALO VIEWS.”
A Buffalo man writes thus of opinion
in that city:
“First: They desire a Yale man and
not anyone taken from the outside.
“Second: They desire one who can
look to the development of the Univer-
sity as a whole; one who will be pro-
gressive and broad, and at the same
time conservative, and not follow some
of the vagaries of President Eliot too
strongly.
“Third: They want a man who is at”
least somewhat prominent as a scholar,
who will. be a good administrator and
who can represent the University in
public functions with success.”
A WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DEMAND.
A Pittsburg graduate of, nearly thirty
years standing answers the questions
as follows:
“First:
culture.
“Second: A man of national reputa-
tion as being fully abreast of the times
in modern thought.
“Third: A man whose views are
sound on the doctrines of the Chris-
tian religion.
“Fourth: A man who is able to
plant the standard of Yale’s influence
in the social, political and religious
world upon higher ground than ever
attained in the past.”
A man of broad and liberal
INSPIRING LEADERSHIP.
A Connecticut Editor, close watcher
of Yale, says: ..
“At this time the quality of in-
spiring leadership can least be spared
in the equipment. The Faculty need
it to bring intellectual enthusiasm
in the University up to the heights of
great opportunity. The undergraduate
should find the President an unfailing
fountain of the Yale spirit. Boldness
rather than timidity is desirable. The
Corporation can put on the brakes, but
it cannot supply a lack of steam.
“The Corporation cannot discover
anywhere in the world a President of
Yale full-grown. It must find the pro-
mise of its ideal and hopefully await its
development. Great college presidents
are the product, not of election, but of
evolution. The opportunity will make
the man. The head of a college, like
the head of a nation, will grow under
the stimulus and discipline of office to
the full measure of burden and responsi-
bility. The Corporation should not
stand paralyzed in the face of the im-
possibility it wishes to accomplish.”
ANOTHER REQUEST FOR A CLERGYMAN.
A lawyer of western Pennsylvania
writes thus:
“He should be a man who began at
the bottom of the Yale ladder and went .
clear to the top, as it seems to me that.
a mere graduate of any of the graduate
departments can never appreciate the
feelings and sentiments of the average
Yale undergraduate with regard to all’
things and traditions pertaining to
Yale, unless he has himself lived”
through the undergraduate days.
should be a Congregational minister of -
more than ordinary scholarly attain-
ments, for it seems to me that any man >
who is worthy to represent an institu-
tion of learning having the standing
which Yale has, should be preéminently ©
a scholar. |
“He should be a man of more than ~
ordinary executive ability, because in
these days the President of Yale has .
as much, if not more, btisiness to at- —
tend to than spiritual duties; but I
think he should undoubtedly be a min-
ister. I do not know whether the Yale
charter requires that the President’ be
a minister or not, but however that may
be, I am certainly of the opinion that
the President of Yale University should
be a minister of the Gospel.
“Tt seems to me he should be fairly
well advanced in years, because he must
be a man of large experience, and his
age will tend to give him that experi-
ence, as well as enable him to maintain
the dignity and standing the position
requires. I think that the qualities es-
sential are, first, preéminent learning;
second, executive ability; third, suf-
ficient age to guarantee him the respect
that age, along with the other elements
mentioned, always bring to men. I do
not know that I can express any more
concisely my views on this matter, and
I therefore submit them to you for
what they are worth.”
