Blanton now reports: (1) While the voluntary retirement of Dr. Blanton from direct active connection with the affairs of the University as its Vice President and member of the faculty is a matter of serious concern and sincere regret, yet when we recall his fifty years of constant, faithful, able, and consecrated service, as pastor and preacher, as Chancellor and Vice President, his devotion to the training and teaching of young men, we feel he well merits the earned right to rest and release from the burdens of his present post; (2) We congratulate him that his last years will be passed in the shadow of the institution whose history is so large a part of his own life and labors, and among those with whom he has wrought. We congratulate him on the splendid condition of the institution here and on the status of Lees Collegiate Institute, that school to which his prayers and fostering care have been given in overflowing measure. We congratulate ourselves that these rest years of Dr. Blanton will still abound in service through his wise counsel and guidance, which we will enjoy through his continued membership on this Board.
