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.
