a Tribute to
James K. Patterson
Nearly half a century ago James K. Patterson became the head official of the A. and M. College of Kentucky. Since that time he has given his life and energy to the building up of this Institution. Old age has crepl upon him almost unawares and he has seen the dream of his youth only partially perfected. He has seen it grow from a school with four professors, with a graduating class of only one student, to a University with seventy-five professors and one hundred graduates. He was the initiator of each forward step. Though retired from his position, he is yet the father and guardian of his only living childthe State University of Kentucky.
President Patterson is one of the most illustrious men the State has ever had. His work is beyond comparison; it is a standard by which In judge others. His quick perception, his choice vocabulary, his refined utterance and his masterly mind are unequalled. With his indomitable courage and incomparable strength and virtue he overcame all political prejudices, and won the respect of his enemies. He is loo great to fall by public criticism. He is a true friend, a pious gentleman and a joyous companion. Within that aged breast beats I he heart of a noble man. The great lesson of his life is the fruit-fulness of unselfish striving for high impersonal aims.
