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 á 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.
