Aotlng Chan cellor A.vory prcBldod and delivered a short prayer at the opening of tho mooting. L Professor Caldwell wbb tho first Speaker and told of his personal rola lidns with Chancellor Canfleld. Ho spoke in part as follows: "I do not wish to troat tf Chancellor Camfield In tho cold, historical spirit; gather I desiro to speak of him as .ono of tho very few men who have won my love as well as my respect. To mo he is over the true and faith ful, tho friend who never deserted, the ian ever ready to encourage, to urgo forward to more earnest endeavor. Dynamo of Energy. "How I wish I had tho power to paint him for you who never know r. Im, so that you mignt understand ho hold that ho had and has on some of us. Chancellor Canfleld was a por- foct dynamo of onorgy. Quick in (movement, actlvo in mind, ho was planning and doing with a rapadlty that fairly took your breath. His Stocky frame carried a heart that was aa big and full as tho body that en cased It Ho never forgot a friend; nor did ho neglect tho little courtosles of llfo that so few of us remember. There was nothing moroBo or sour In his make-up. "This man inspired many; for one, I can ay that my life has been bet tor from contact with a man so puro and helpful. If I have been ablo to aid in the least in carrying forward tho torch of learning and in inspiring any student to higher thinking, and more devotion to his work in life, a part of it at least may bo credited to this man whoso life and deeds moan 80 much to us, and whoso death we commemorate in this service." 1 A Man of Action. Dr. Fling spoke- informally of Chan cellor' Canfleld, telling of hiB early life and of hla work after ho left Ne braska. Ho emphasized the fact that ho was a man of action and that with him to see was to rfct Ho spoke in part aB follows:' 'Chancellor Canfleld was an East ern man, although born, in Ohio. Ho received his education in tho schools of tho East His early life was spent In diverse occupations but ho was ulti mately called from other work to be come a teacher of hiBtory and eco nomics in tho Kansas Agricultural school.' How did ho "prepare ''for this work? Ho had a4 broad, foundation to start with. He became a railroad man, later a lawyer. When he was called to be .a' superintendent' of achools ,'in Michigan and from there he was called to Kansas to take up thb work in history and economics. Thiswas at a time before the West ern Golloeea hadt.bezun to have tho organization which they have now. He may not have been prepared to teach "EVENTS OF Wtkk Tu' THINK TMr vow rwr RAMAT& AH OoHT HMOW CeRM UNCN- m it, A I MHTVKR tv tCHWt 8 THC TCICHT Of ,TMC history but ho was an inspiring load er, a good speaker, an organlzor of the best kind. All his life boforo was really a preparation for hiB work there and ho knew what such an Insti tution should bo. "As I came up here this morning I was thinking how soon a man and his work are forgotten. Tho students to day did not seem to know that wo wore to meet hero. However, Chan cellor Canfleld' understood th'ia trait of character and I do not suppose he would bo surprised at tho small num ber who have turned out Ho was a strong executive, Invaluable in' a groat library. Everywhere thoso who know him appreciated him. He did his work because ho loved it and it will live on. Ho was a man we might call an Ideal typo." Great In Any Size. Hon. Victor Itoaowater, a former regent of the university, said in part: "Wo- can only measuro tho greatness' of tho man and tho value of his work when ho is taken from us. Had he followed tho footsteps of his father ho would havo been a great preapher.. Had ho remained a railroad man he would havo become a great' railway captain. Had he remained in tho pro fession of law he would have been aj great lawyer, but his work led him.' to becomo a great teacher and a groat librarian.
