I must say a. word for Mr. Glover. I suppose there are a good many 

 of you who are better acquainted With Mr Glover than I am. He only 

 gets down here once in a while. I don't know whether he comes down 

 here to get encouragement or to encourage us. I want you to realize 

 that Mr. Glover undertook a job a little more difficult than any experi- 

 ment station man ever did before. It is one thing to be connected with a 

 work with twenty others in a. situation, but it is another thing to go 

 out alone, even among friends. He had to go out alone and get acquaint- 

 ed and introduce his work which no one knew about and few had con- 

 fidence in at first. It was a difficult thing to do and he has succeeded 

 where many men would have failed. The college is greatful to him for 

 having done his work well under great hardships. I thank you.
