Excerpt from Fifty-Second Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Vol. 1: Report of the President and Other Officers of Administration for Fiscal Year Ended Nov; 30, 1914
Gentlemen of the Corporation,
I herewith submit my annual report as president of the Massachusetts Agricultural College.
First of all, I wish to convey my hearty personal thanks to you as trustees for your generous action in allowing me a year"s leave of absence which ended last May. For considerably over one-half of the period my services were given to the United States and American Commissions on Agricultural Credits, traveling with the commissions in Europe and assisting in the preparation of reports. The entire year was a fruitful one in the widening of observation, the enlarging of acquaintance, and the opportunity for study in fields fundamental to the development of large rural policies.
During my absence Prof. Edward M. Lewis served as acting president, not only with energy and efficiency, but with great acceptability to students, faculty and, I am quite sure, to your Board of Trustees. The position of acting president is never a sinecure, but Dean Lewis met every requirement with sympathy, skill, and thoroughgoing loyalty to the policies of the institution.
General Review Of The Year.
Dean Mills.
The death of Prof. George Franklin Mills on Oct. 27, 1914, has taken from us an able member of our staff and a man whose long service, high character, and genuine friendliness had endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. Dean Mills had served the college for nearly twenty-five years, having joined the faculty early in January, 1890. For a large part of his career he was a teacher of English; for many years he was the faithful and hard-working treasurer of the institution; for seven years he was dean of the college. Last June he was made dean emeritus.
