PAGE WO T FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1942 OGDENSBURG JOURNAE Dr. Richard Sykes, President Of St. Lawrence University From 1919 to 1935, Dies In Potsdam Canton—Dr. Richard Eddy Sykes, 81, president emeritus of St. Law- rence XTnlversity, Canton, died today in Potsdam Hospital where he had been a patient since- Sept. 25. Assuming his duties as president of St. Lawrence in 1919, he con- tinued his service for 16 years, during, which time the registration of the institution was more than doubled. He resigned in 1935 be- cause of poor health. Surviving, beside his widow, the former Mabel Houghton of Little Palls, N. Y., whom he married 57 years ago, are two daughters, Mrs. porothy Fredericksen, Fairbault, Minn.; Mm Elizabeth Michaels, Canton; and a nephew, Edwin G. .Sykes, Canton. Funeral services will he held Sunday at 8 p.m. from the Gun- nison Memorial Chapel on the University campus with Dr. John Murray Atwood of the Theological School and Rev. Hugh S. Tigner, Canton, officiating. Burial is ex- pected to be made in the Ever- green cemetery at Canton. '- It was on-a bleak Jan. -3 in the 1860's that Richard Eddy _ Sykes first saw the light of day, in a lit- . tie farm house in the town of Can- ton, a sonnet hardworking, rugged Yankee farmers. The babe was named for Richard Eddy, then pastor of the Universalis!; church in Canton, who later resigned his pastorate to seek service with the Union army as a chaplain. Young Richard's early life was that of. the average farm boy. He had his daily round of chores, and usually drew the milk to the vil- lage factory. On Sunday mornings the horse was hitched to the wag- on or sleigh, according to the sea- son of the year, and the lad drove took the position of steward in the newly organized and struggling college, which later became the St. Lawrence university of today. The family then moved to living quarters in what is now Richard- son Hall, then the one and only college building on the hill. His parents boarded the entire student body of St. Lawrence, numbering in the neighborhood of 40,- all told. With young Richard's assistance, the father • worked the farm that was run in conjunction with the college. Class rooms, sleeping and eating quarters, and club rooms were all combined in the one build- ing and it was part of the duties of the steward's son to see that the wood stoves in each of these rooms was not lacking in their daily ration of wood. Richard attended the grammar school in the village and later, the old Canton academy, from which he was graduated at the age of 17. Peeling.that he was rather young to enter college, he made applica- tion for a position as a teacher in the district schools. Being utterly without experience in this work, and somewhat small for one of his age, he was informed by the school trustees that, providing he would work for a woman's wage, he could have a job. It was in the town of Madrid, for $11 per month and his keep, that young Richard first assumed his duties as school- master. His pupils, many of whom were older than himself, numbered about 30, and he taught to the TJniversalist- Church to the j practically every thing—from the village with his father and mother A BC's to geometry, to attend religious service. | In the fall of 1879 the young The first nine years of his life man entered St'.

While its, members left a noteworthy record of scholar- ship behind them as they went out into the world, this class is prob- ably best remembered as having inaugurated the first scientific cane rush between the freshmen and sophomores, on Tree Holiday, in the year 1880. Irving Bacheller, noted author a member of the class of 18821, perpetuated this in one of the passages in his book \Eben Holden.\ Young Sykes was active in most of the affiars of his class and college, participating in many of the wrestling matches, then so popular at the university. He was also a tenor in the college quartet. Richard Sykes early in life de- cided to enter the ministry, and as the first step towards this calling, he entered the Canton Theological school the fall after his graduation from St. Lawrence. The young man's first experi- ence as a preacher came in the same year that he was graduated from college,, when he went to Ver- mont to deliver his sermon from the pulpit of the TJniversalist church of Williamstown. Later while still a student in the Theo- logical school, he was called upon to occupy the New York pulpit of James M. Pullman. It was a sin- gular honor to be conferred upon one so young, and for six months, while the pastor was recovering from an Illness, the young student carried on the work of the church. Several 'months prior to his graduation from the Theological school, the young student went •with \the president of\~ the institu- tion to the city of Little Falls. While there he was asked to be- come minister of the TJniversalist church, and in the year, 1885 he went to thisi church to accept his first pastorate. It was in the beautiful section of the Mohawk valley that the young minister laid the corner- stone of his career. While there he started\ a missionary movement in the neighboring town of Dolge- ville, and largely under his guid- ance and through his efforts a parish was established here and a church built., It was while at Little Falls that Richard Sykes met and married Miss Mabel Houghton, a member of one of the prominent families of his congregation. He remained at Little Falls for ten years, and during this time served for two years on the board of trustees of St. Lawrence university. \ In 1895. at the earnest soliciation of the officials of the TJniversalist denomination he undertook what was essentially a missionary movement in Denver. Here in the shadow of the Rockies he threw himself into the work at hand and signal success again marked his efforts. After remaining here for eight years, he accepted a MEN FOR FACTORY AND J CONSTRUCTION WORK Who are not now engaged in other essential | industries.

WAR TODAY call irdm the East, and re- turned to assume pastoral charge of the First TJniversalist church of Maiden, Mass. He again met with the height of success, and it was while here that he received a call to the presidency of St. Lawrence University. After due deliberation he finally accepted th£ post, as- suming his duties on May 1, 1919. Dr. Sykes had done much for his alma mater since returning to St. Lawrence as its head. The-build- ing of the Gunnison Memorial Chapel was made possible by the miliion • Dollar endowment fund, raised largely through the efforts of President Sykes, as was indi- rectly Dean-Eaton Hall, women's •dormitory. The enrollment in- creased and new departments add- ed, while the library has outgrown its present quarters, there being at the present time in it more than 50,000 volumes. The campus has been developed and beautified, and the Hepburn Hall of chemistry has been built. The executive offices have been changed from Richard- son hall and the down town section to the Administration building, for- merly used as a home for the pres- ident, the president's residence having been changed to the cam- pus to East Main street, These are only some of the im- provements that were made at St. Lawrence during Dr. Sykes' ad- ministration. The latest addition to the campus was the construction of the $600,000 men's dormitory.

It seems inevitable many of the conquered peoples will rise in their hunger and misery and exact ter- tible vengeance on their Nazi op- pressors—that is, unless the Allies are able to keep the situation in hand. None .could foresee the end of such an upheaval if it were uncon- trolled. New and revolutionary governments might mushroom up to take the place of those which existed before the war. I understand the Allies already have taken congnizance of the dan- gers in this situation and are aly- ing their lines to cope with it. Ob- viously the solution lies in the closest possible cooperation among Britain; Russia and america. In this connection it Is j clear that Brit- ish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden is quietly devotipg vast en- ergy to the effort of insuring this vital allied solidarity. • It needs no wealth of imagina- tion to see what is growing out of the hell that Hitler has dug. The French and Poles and Czech-Slov- aks and Yugoslavs and Norwe- gians, and all the others whose kith and kin have been massacred by the Nazi Fuehrer's murderous crew, are eager to exact payment in kind. - But there is more to it than con- cerns the Jhundreds of thousands of .civilians who have been slain that the Nazi anti-Christ might be mas- ter of Europe. Most of the conti- nent has been ravaged. In many countries there is actual starva- tion. The best that Hitler has to offer anywhere outside his own do- mains and those of his satellite Al- lies is serfdom. At the earliest possible moment the conquered peoples are going to try to fight their way out of this slough. There certainly can be no guar- antee—or so it seems to me—that .all pre-war governments will re- turn to power. Perhaps not even the big three among the Allies could determine that—and far be it from me to assert that they would want to in all cases. Hitler announced in his speech Wednesday that he is about to con- solidate his winnings. That can only mean that he will apply even more vicious regimentation to the unfortunate folk Whom he has en- slaved. They are condemned to la- bor for the benefit of the Reich. He will continue the process of wiping out some of the proud peo- ples who refused to respond to the lash and replacing others with bas- tard races which are the result of deliberate cross - breeding with Germans. The consolidation which Hitler hopes to effect this winter can only feed the volcanic fires. Those fires will consume him if the Al- lies don't crush him first. His num- ber is up in either event. However, there is a way of pre- venting Europe from plunging into utter chaos as the war ends. That involves: (1) air tight Allied mTH- tary control, and (2) quick, relief in the way of' food and 'other sup- plies. Apropos of this, Foreign Secre- tary Eden made an important statement in a speech at Leaming- ton. Referring to the condition of people in the conquered countries he said: \How do we propose to help them once the ever-increasing might of the Allied forces ibegins to assert itself? The enemy must first be expelled by Allied armies root and branch from the coun- tries he has occupied and befouled. Law and order must be reestab- lished, civil administration set go- ing, communications repaired and essential services of civilized life restored. . • \This work must inevitably in the initial stages be carried out under 1 military supervision since By Dewitt MackensJ* the Allied armies could not oper- ate satisfactorily unless the essen- tial needs of distressed populations behind the lines were secured. But as operations proceed and condi- tions in the liberated countries be- gin to settle down, there must ob- viously be a progressive transfer of responsibility to the civil ad- ministration, particularly respon- sibility of maintaining security and feeding the population.\ As already remarked, allied suc- cess in handling the crisis growing out of the war's end will depend on allied solidarity. Solidarity will come from complete understand- ing and trust among .the big three. It would seem therefore that the immediate task is to remove any distrust of motives which may ex- ist. There can he no doubt that Russia and English-speaking Allies are drawing closer. However, It's not so long ago that there was a wide gap between them and there still is heavy spade work to be done. This would explain Eden's activ- ities in striving to tighten the bonds among the bit three, and so far as regards the world situation, the bonds with China as well. Chi- na makes it the big four. This also presumably explains the mission of special ambassador Wendell Willkle to Russia and China. Francis Cook, Hogansburg, 2nd Car Victim Malone—Francis Cook, 20, of Hogansburg, died at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in Alice Hyde Hospital, the second victim of an automo- bile accident early Monday morn- ing about a mile from Hogans- burg.
