Mr. Bedford consented to become one of the trustees of the
school, and in that capacity, and as a worker for it, he has been
connected with it for eighteen years. During this time he has
borne the school upon his heart night and day, and is never so
happy as when he is performing some service, no matter how
humble, for it. He completely obliterates himself in everything,
and looks only for permission to serve where service is most
disagreeable, and where others would not be attracted. In all my
relations with him he has seemed to me to approach as nearly to
the spirit of the Master as almost any man I ever met.
A little later there came into the service of the school another
man, quite young at the time, and fresh from Hampton, without
whose service the school never could have become what it is. This
was Mr. Warren Logan, who now for seventeen years has been the
treasurer of the Institute, and the acting principal during my
absence. He has always shown a degree of unselfishness and an
amount of business tact, coupled with a clear judgment, that has
kept the school in good condition no matter how long I have been
absent from it. During all the financial stress through which the
school has passed, his patience and faith in our ultimate success
have not left him.
