Kingston welcomed him again and again as he visited the scenes of his early and most useful career, Here he laid the foundation of a life of domestic felici- ty, Here he rested betimes with friends and recalled the incidents that linked the past and present. Here he gave to students a great spiritual upliit, as he pointed the way, out of a glowing experience, to the influence which is the endowment of every intellectual athlete. Here he emphasized the truth that the door of opportunity is al- ways open to those who qualify for higher service. Success or culture or achievement is not confined to the chosen few. Dr. Potts taught that the world recogniz- es worth in any profession or walk of life, and that it gives, the homage that is the due of genius and ability when they have been used honestly, honorably and well.
