Description:Excerpt from Addresses at the Inauguration of Kenneth Charles Morton Sills as President of Bowdoin College, June 20, 1918 As a member Of the college Faculty, I take unusual pleasure in congratulating us-upon - ourselves, on possessing miscellane ous abilities so varied and ample that twice in nine years Governing Boards have helped themselves to us when seeking a college president. Most - and seriously - I congratulate our selves upon the leader that has been given us. To enumerate in detail the specific qualities which meet in him and brought upon him, first the scrutinizing, then the approving eyes of our Boards, might seem fulsome on this, Occasion. The press has already done this. I turn rather, for matter of congratulation, to more intimate and homely relations - the happy chance that has relieved us Of the trying period Of adjustment between faculty and stranger president; the fact that we have already formed the habit Of working Wlth our new leader; and his proved ability to work with young and Old. I think it just to congratulate you, in turn, Mr. President, not upon your distinction, an idle subject of congratulation these great days, but on your opportunity to use the prestige Of your Office to great ends; and on having as your immediate, helpers a Faculty that knows the meaning and practice of loyal cooperation. You know that they know it; under your notable predecessor, President Hyde, their practice was your practice. And, men and women of Brunswick, I congratulate you too. The confidence you gave long since to the new President, whereby you made him one of your leading citizens, is this day being amply confirmed.
