highly as a scholar in more than one department,
and a Christian gentleman.
His reputation as an educator is acknowledged
not only throughout his own state but in
others as well, and the success of the school
of which he is now the principal is evidence
of the solid foundation upon which his reputation
rests. Any honor you may confer
upon him will honor your institution as well.

Very respectfully

Professor of Botany in Univ. of Nebraska.
