    WILLIAM JASPER KERR A Biography By EDWIN THOMAS REED B.S., A.B., Litt.D. EDITOR'S NOTE The late E. T. Reed, editor of publications at Oregon State College from 1912 to 1943, finishedthis biography after he became Editor Emeritus, 1943-48 This typescript has beenprepared for binding by the Office of Publications and is presented to the William Jasper Kerr Libraryas source material on the history of Oregon State College. WILLIAM JASPER KERR Inherent dignity and height Gave him imposing grace, And smiles that sparkled warm and bright Made luminous his face. He set high standards, and with ease Won students in support; No liquor, no tabacco, please; Clean living; honest sport. 'Twas thus the campus came to be A place reserved and high From cotmnonplace offenses free And virgin as the sky. All obscene and indecent hints Aroused his righteous wrath; With sinews tense and hard as flints He drove them from his path. Expert in budgets and finance, A master builder, too, Skilled architects mapped in advance The plans he carried through. When chaos seemed about to crash In some destructive hour, And lightning shafts began to flash He taught that "poise is power." Forgiving to the poignant end, He owns no enemy, But counts his keiest critic friend, In magnanimity. Who knows the motive of his acts Cannot remain his foe; Give him, directly, all the facts, That he may see and know. For half a century he ruled In education's realm, His hosts of students nobly schooled While he was at the helm.
