AND STUDENIBODY
TAKE THEIR LEAVE
Retiring Leader Given
Handsome Chair
in Tribute
SINCERITY MARKS DINNER
Little V o i cees Regret
Caused by His
Departure
Pausing at the crossroad of their
ways, President Clarence Cook Lit-
tle and the student body took
formal leave of each other at a din-
ner last night whose temper was
moulded by the farewell o'f friends
avowedly frank, generous and per-
ennial.
"An occasion possessing the sad-
ness of this, yet happy in its in-
vigorating, arrow-flighted spirit,
would never have been if we had
not first experienced together a
four-year period of trying circum-
stances, loneliness, and error. Yet
since I have come to Michigan. I
have striven entirely to further the
best interests of her students. If,
after having seen students dead
and dying. I have favored a ban
upon personal liberty, it has been
not utterly to deprive you of a
right, but to make you see the dif-
ference between personal freedohu
and license.
Says Life Is Change
'If I have done nothing else in
my four years here, I hope that I
have shown you that life is change,
and wise change is life that will
last. And yet, thought I leave you
and Michigan physically, my love
and interest and the tremendous
attachments I have found here will
be with me as long as I have mem-
ory." Thus Dr. Little feelingly and
sincerely bade farewell t' the stu-
dents whose interests and better-
ment he has vigorously strived to
promote.
The chief tribute to President Lit-
tle was voiced by Thomas V.
Koykka. '30L, who spoke allegori-
cally of Van Loon's primitive vil-
lage, nestling in a valley sur-
rounded by high, rugged moun-
tains, and nourished by a single,
wavering spring of knowledge. The
patriarchs who completely ruled the
small community relied for their
law entirely upon a thousand-year-
old book.
Little Ahead Of Time
One day a stranger, bleeding and
fatigued by a long march, told them
of the fe-tile valleys which lay be-
yond their valley. Indignantly, the
old men found this man guilty of
of sacrilege, and he was stoned to
death. Years later, in a time of
draught, the young people of the
village rebelled against the old
men, and pushed over the enclosing
mountains to the fields beyond.
There they raised up a civilization,
and a new race. At the height of
their power, they paved a highway
back to their original hone, and at
the end erected a sptrld monu-
ment to the memory of the man
who had first pointed the way.
Thus, Michigan half a century
hence will approach the station of
'its retiring President, who though
waiting for it, will even then be
facing the future.
Following this speech, a hand-
some easy chair, of English design,
was presented to President Little
and Mrs. Little, who because of ill-
ness was unable to attend the ban-
quet, as a r,1%t from the students
indicative of their high regard for
hime. Preceding the address by
Koykka, dToastmaster George F.
Rich, '30L, introduced Martin J.
Mol, '30, .. Elizabeth Wellman, '29,
and Henry S. Grinnell, '28, each of
whom expressed the regrets of the
bodies they represented at Dr, Lit-
te's departure.
Seniors Will Receive
