The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1909

Professor Maclaurin

Professor Maclaurin.

We have been shown a cutting (a column in length) from a New York newspaper, in eulogy of Professor Maclaurin. The column, which has appropriately striking headlines, is รก propos, his recent appointment to the presidency of the Massachusetts institute of Technology. Professor Maclaurin, it would seem, is well appreciated in the States : the acting president of Massachusetts Institute is reported to have said of him that "he is a man of deliberate judgment, broad cultivation, quiet enthusiasm, and attractive personal qualities, which have made him a favourite ith his associates at Columbia." We may be pardoned for adding that he is a New Zealander, and that we are still proud to remember his connection with Victoria College.
