All such bodies have their decorative members and their working members; Page belonged emphatically in the latter class.

Not only was he fertile in suggestions, but his ready mind could give almost any proposal its proper emphasis and clearly set forth its essential details.

Between Page and Dr.Buttrick, Secretary and now President of the Board, a close personal intimacy grew up.

Dr.Buttrick moved to Teaneck Road, Englewood, where Page had his home, and many a long evening did the two men spend together, many a long walk did they take in the surrounding country, always discussing education, especially Southern education.

A letter to the present writer from Dr.Abraham Flexner, the present Secretary of the Board, perhaps sums up the matter.
