The following is an appreciation of President Eliot's qualities and achievements given by President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton University, upon learning of his resignation yesterday:
"No man has ever made a deeper impression upon the educational system of a country than President Eliot has upon the educational system of America. His gilt for leadership, his discrimination in the choice of men, and his power to conceive and execute large plans have made him the most conspicuous and influential figure of the last forty years in American education. He has, moreover, shown a public spirit and a sense of duty in all matters confronting the life of the community in which he has lived and the life of the country at large which has made him the leading private citizen of the Republic. His counsel has been felt in affairs for a generation and always felt in the interest of right action and wholesome sentiment."
