|Snyder * 

On motion of Mr* Beaumont, the President and Secretaire were appoint-

> 

"Deeply moved by the unexpected  death of Dr* Jonathan L* Snyder, 

President Emeritus of Michigan Agricultural College, we desire to re-cord our appre 

ciation of his character and services, during the long period of his official- con 

nection with this Board and this Institution* 

Assuming the burdens of the College at a critical period in its • 

history., with a student body dwindling rather than growing, with disc our agingly 

small financial resources and an indifferent public support, Dr* Snyder brought 

to his task an undaunted courage, inspiring faith and prophetic optimism, -coupled 

with an aggressive energy that stopped at no obstacle* 

He believed deeply in the nev/ technical education, wherein hand and 

;eye effectively aid the mind in studying the laws of nature and wherein learning 

is largely aided by doing*  He was unalterably  committed to democracy of living and 

democracy of learning and he successfully  struggled with the problem of building up 

.ja great democratic institution and student body, where snobbery ^s unknown and wher 

worth and honesty, in whatever  guise they appear, are uniformly  respected* 

Always solicitous that the lives of the students should be clean and 

wholesome, it was his constant effort to surround them with an atmosphere as free as 

possible from temptations and evil influences* 

few men were better qualified by nature and experience to grapple 

with the parsimonious  conditions that surrounded IvUA«.C* in those early days of his 

kdministration*.  Accustomed from "boyhood to the most careful econorsy, he applied his 

-Experience to the conduct of the institution and nade her limited resources accomp-

lish the best possible results, 

' • _ . . .. 

His unfailing hospitality to those who visited the institution, 

either  officially or otherwise, made many friends and his efforts to bring the 

College to the attention and favorable  consideration of the people of Michigan 

Resolutions-
•relative ..to 
|Dr. Snyder..::.: 

were crowned with much success.  During his vigorous administration the number of 

students was multiplied five fold ..and the courses of instruction greatly amplified. 

When Dr. Snyder laid down the mantle of his authority, he had un 

doubtedly accomplished the bulk of the task that v/as set before him and could look 

back upon his twenty years of servicewith a deserved satisfaction*  We are glad to 

officially  recognize that service for its full worth and to p_ace upon the. mermanent 

records of this 3oard this expression of our deep appreciation of the accomplish 

ments of one whose life and work will be forever bound up with the progress and 

welfare of Michigan Agricultural College, 

RESOLVED, THAT the Secretary transmit a copy of these resolutions to 

the familj*- of Dr. Snyder," 

On motion of Mr, Beaumont,, the following resolutions of the faculty 

relating to the death of Dr, Snyider were made a part of the minutes: 

"It is fitting that this faculty shall express its appreciation of 

the services of President Emeritus Snyder, whose passing has so recently occurred. 

The tw-enty years that he spent in the President's chair of this college were of 

remarkable advancement in the activities of the institution*  To set forth inyany 

adequate manner the debt of this college and of the commonwealth!of Michigan to 

President  Snyder would be possible only after a careful consideration of the events 

of that period. 

It may be said in brief that under his direction there was a remark 

able increase in the attendance of students.  The existing courses of study were 

reorganized and new divisions were created.  Graduate courses were instituted, 

extension plans developed and put into operation.  These were ventures into new 

fields in a realm of education as yet imperfectly  explored.  The degree of success 

already apparent in all these lines is sufficient to give ."Doctor Snyder rank as one I 

of the leading administrative directors in the history and development of training 

in agricultural, and mechanic arts. 

'I 

His work was conspicuous not alone in the field of organization and 

\ 

technical  education, but  also  in the  realm of ^citizenship and personal  character,  j 

His  sincerity, his modesty* Ms  earnestness* his integrity* his  stability  are quali-j 

toes which have impressed.themselves upon the lives of his associates and are among I 

IS 

the  enduring assets of Michigan Agricultural  College.  There was  combined in his 

1 

personality  a triumvirate  of qualities - unusual practical sense, keen  penetrating 

analysis,  simple belief  in the virtues  of living. 

j 

As a  citizen Doctor  Snyder took  interest  in the  community activities, 

always  lending his  influence for the best  interests  of his fellow citizens. 

His  judgment was a community  asset  often sought by his fellows  in matters of public 

concern.
