Thurston brought to the deliberations of the State Board of Agriculture a keen mind, a gift of incise expression, and an abiding faith in the power of education in a democracy. He was content to accept practical realities even while he ventured to propose new solutions to continuing -oroblems in the field he knew so well. r,Drr Thurston gave generously from his wealth of experience in professional education and public life in helping to form the policies'whereby Michigan State College was guided in a difficult period of development, and so insured that he will be long remembered here. t!Eis former associates on the Board were gratified when he was selected to serve in high national office, knowing his capacity for accomplishment, and having the highest con fidence in his integrity and courage as an educational statesman. They share--with his thousands of friends and admirers a sincere regret at his untimely death, and extend sincere sympathy to his family in their loss, which falls so heavily upon so many who, too, needed his counsel and companionship."
