THE TRUSTEES AT THE OCTOBER 25TH MEETING
MOVED TO ADOPT THE FOLLOWING MINUTE CONCERNING The Late Judge Joseph Buffington
The Honorable Joseph Buffington, of the Class of 1875, served Trinity College with unparalleled devotion and with great distinction. He was elected an Alumnus Trustee in 1900 and reelected until 1918, when he was made a permanent member of the Board. His loyalty to Trinity was such that it is safe to say that he regarded none of his many honors or achievements more highly than he did his forty;seven years of service as a member of this Board. During the seventy;six years of his association with Trinity College, he played an important part in the great progress made by his Alma Mater. Having attended the College when it was located on Capitol Hill, he witnessed with deep satisfaction the move to the present campus and the construction of fifteen buildings thereon. He saw the growth of the student body from eighty;one to eight hundred and eighty;four students, and aided in increasing the endowed resources of the College from somewhat less than $400,000 to over $4,000,000. Judge Buffington has ever been a symbol representing the high achievement possible for a man trained in the liberal arts. The integrity, courage, sound judgment, devotion to high moral principle, loyalty, and persuasiveness which brought him at an early age to national prominence exemplified in one man the qualities which Trinity College attempts to induce in its students. The Judge will be sorely missed not only by his colleagues on this Board, but also by the hundreds of Trinity men who have been inspired by his example. To the members of his family, the Trustees of Trinity College feel moved to send this evidence of sympathy in our common loss.
