Show JOHN A. JVIDTSOE .- I '. I 1 Of late, not mucli if any 'criticism I has Ijccn sqoh in the public press con- I T earning, Ihc Agricultural College in I Efean.' Recently wc' visited that in? , stJtutlo'n and. in our. 'opinion it is in better shae, better condition and altogether al-together more progressive than it has ever been in its history. There seems "to "be absolute harmony among the members of the faculty and the students stu-dents arc working diligently and industriously in-dustriously under the direction of their capable instructors. . Everyone seems to be working unitedly for the upbuilding and advancement of that great institution which means jSO much to the future of the citizens of this state .and community. " It wUf be remembered that wlnfn " Dr. "John A. Widtsoc ascended to' the presidency of that institution there ' was a great deal of adverse criticism indulged in, the faculty was'in a rath- i cr disorganized condition and he had many obstacles and difficulties to en- j counter that would have dismayed and ! discouraged and disheartened a less a'blc man than he. But in the short time that he has . been in charge even his bitterest enemies and they were only his enemies ene-mies because they misunderstood him and his aims arc united with him in f working for the institution. Dr. Widtsoc has followed a consistent, consist-ent, conscientious, clear-cut policy with the sole desire of advancing the interests of the Agricultural College, and he has succeeded beyond even the anticipations of his staunchest friends, and he has only just begun his work.
