THE ELECTION ENDORSED.
Resolutions of the St. Louis Alumni
Association on Prof. Hadley.
At a meeting of the Yale Alumni As-
sociation of St. Louis, held on Monday
evening, June 12, for the purpose of
ratifying the election of President Had-
ley, the following resolution presented
by Judge E. B. Adams, ’65, was unani-
mously adopted: :
“The Yale alumni of St. Louis extend
their hearty congratulations to the Cor-
poration of Yale, to their brother alumni
and to all who are interested in the
prosperity of Yale, in the election of
Arthur Twining Hadley as President
of Yale University. We are satisfied,
and more than satisfied, that the selec-
tion has been wisely made. While we
recognize the great services rendered
the University by the eminent men who
have preceded him in this high office,
and notably by the distinguished scholar
who now retires, we find in the selection
of President Hadley the best guaranty
that the future management of Yale will
be abreast of the time, and that at the
head of the University will be a man
who will afford in his own character
and record the strength and quality of
leadership. We have both the man and
scholar, and we now have the best pos-
sible assurance of a wise and progres-
sive administration of our Alma Mater,
which will keep pace with the great
problems of the coming century and
will secure for Yale University front
rank in educational progress.”
F. N. Judson, ’66, presided, and, after
speeches by Alfred Plant, ’47; B. J.
