PRESIDENT HOBBS RETIRES.
(Continued from First Page.)
been even more marked. In 1888
New Garden Boarding School wan
merged into Guilford College; the
courses of study were greatly ex
tended and the standard of schol
arship raised. With an increased
endowment more and better train
ed instructors have been obtained.
When J )r. llobbs came to New
Garden the total endowment was
onh $10,000.00. Since then
through his efforts the endowment
has grown steadily, $15,000.00 be
ing secured from Mr. Andrew Car
negie and $-5,000.00 from Mr. 1).
K. Pearsons. At present the en
dowment totals $180,000.00, which
is more than eighteen times the
amount with which he started. Be
sides this he collected several
thousand dollars for New Garden
Hall, as well as contributions for
the library, campus and labora
tories.
Probably his greatest service to
Guilford has been in raising the
ideals and standards of Guilford.
He has increased the number of
its students and secured teachers
of thorough scholarship. He has
steered the college safely past the
Charybydis of religious strife and
fanaticism, and has always main
tained a spirit of peace and unity
among his faculty. Today as ever
he has the hearty support and
unanimous loyalty of his teaching
force. l)r. llobbs has always been
able to sacrifice personal comfort
and satisfaction for the welfare
of our college. He has loved Guil
ford and all things Guilfordian
with an unwavering affection and
whatever course the best interest
of the college seemed to demand
he has unhesitatingly followed.
Amid all the demands for "pop
ular'' education Dr. Hobbs has
stood firm for thoroughness in
scholarship and adherence to ac
knowledged standards of excel
lence. Thus his ideal has become
the ideal of Guilford and today
she is unsurpassed in the quality
of her work by any college in the
State.
Outside his duties and labors
as President of Guilford College,
Dr. llobbs has given much thought
to the problem of public educa
tion in North Carolina, and his ac
tive support and sympathy with
every movement to better the con
ditions of public schools.
He was among the first men in
the State to grasp clearly the sig
nificance of local taxation for pub
lic education. He has made
speeches in all parts of the State
advocating this system. In his
own community he has played a
leading part in establishing what
is believed to be the first rural
graded school in the State sup
ported by local taxation. He was
made the first chairman of the
THE GUILFORDIAN
Guilford graded school board and
lias served in that capacity for
fourteen consecutive years. Presi
dent Hobbs served for several
years as a member of the State
hoard of examiners appointed by
the Governor and for a time as
member of the Guilford County
Board of Education. His service
to the cause of education in tliis
State was recognized and appre
ciated so much by the University
that in 19(KS it conferred upon him
I lie degree of Doctor of Laws. The
same degree was conferred upon
liini by liis Alma Mater, Haver
ford College, in the same year.
Dr. Hobbs has not worked sin
gle-handed in his effort to uplift
the people of his State. Mrs.
Hobbs has been his constant com
panion and inspiration in all his
endeavors. She has given unre
servedly of her time and talent
for the cause of higher education
among the girls of the State. Her
most notable service was in the
erection of New Garden Hall and
establishment of the Girls' Aid
Fund. These agencies, distinctly
original in conception, have made
a good education possible for num
bers of worthy young ladies who
otherwise could not have enjoyed
such a privilege. Through her ef
forts there has been secured re
cently 125,1)00.00 as an endow
ment for New Garden. Besides
these material contributions her
life and influence has been of in
estimable value to the college com
munity.
To Dr. and Mrs. Hobbs more
than to any others belongs the
credit for the progress of the past
quarter' of a century. Guilford
today stands as the embodiment
of their spirit and the monument
to their labors. Future genera
tions as well as the present will
rise up and call their name bless
ed, for they have labored nobly and
well.
