ment of the college's business affairs.
By his nsreement with the board it was
understood that, Isaac Sharpless was
to have the profits up to a certain max
lnnim. Under his management the
college returned a financial profit for
tti.i hrst time in miiny years. It was
characteristic of the man thnt ho then
refused to continue this nrrnngement,
sajing that he felt the temptation
would be too strong to cheapen the
college for his pergonal benefit. But
he continued in charge of the perlex
ing problems of college discipline and
curriculum.

was fishing. Probably notlnug ever
gave him greater pleasure than n very
fine set of fishing tackle given him by
the alumni some years ago.
Wrote Newspaper Articles
His interests were wide. In Mm m.i,. !
days of his Haverford connection he
wrote popular articles on astronomy for
the Public LEDonn.
Doctor Sharpless, In "The American
College," gave a brief picture of the
tasks and duties of the college presi
dent, in which be unconsciously drew a
portrait of himself.
No better description of the man's
true character could bo given than these,
his own words;
"He is not primarily a taskmaster or
disciplinarian, but a man who is giving
his life for u cause, und uot only for an
abstract cause, but for them us indi
viduals; that he has a message for them
Vthich he must deliver, and that he fee
that the very future of one or more of
them lies in the proper use of thut
power. AVhen he thus feels he will
preach, und his sermon will not be
forgotten by some of them."

Murdoch Diplomatically Evasive
on Politics After Confer
ence With Mayor
MOORE DENIES FRICTION
Murdock Kemlriek conferred with
Mayor Moore, City Solleitor Smvth nnd
other political notables today, and when
quizzed ns to the subject discussed, ad
mitted that "Florida is fine."
Mr. Kcndrlck, campaign manager for
the Mayor during the recent campaign,
was in Florida and came home sud
denly, it is said,, when the pence negotia
tions between the Mayor und tiic Vares
terminated suddenly.
W. Freeland Kcndrlck, receiver of
taxes, wns the bearer of the political
olive branch to the administration on
behnlf of the Vares. . ,
The tax receiver is an anient Varc
man. He nlso is a cousin of the cam
paign manager. The two held several
consultations with "harmony" as the
theme before the 'latter went to Florida.
Mr. Kcndrlck would not ndmit that
the generally accepted version of the
renson for his sudden return wns the
truth.
"Did tile stntement rnntultntinn' Mm
Vares which tiie Mayor issued make it
impossible for even you to bring about
an agreement?" he was asked.
"I never -snw Florida when it was
more beautiful," was the more or icss
significant reply.

rye. The first "And I saw District Attorney Itotnu

air seems to be doing him good; he's
getting fatter than ever,"
Both the Mayor and George W. Coles,
chairman of the Town Meeting party,
denied today that any friction had arisen
between them. The Mnyor said Mr.
Coles was an intimate friend frequently
consulted, both in City Hall and at
oth,er places.
