c - Joy of Service

While the task of raising money is essentially unpleasant,
and while it is very trying on the nervous system
to run a great enterprise, with volunteer aids, in distant
cities, who work without pay and who cannot be severely criticized,
yet, in the language of President Alderman, "I count it
a joy and a gladness" to have been of any service to the
University of Virginia, which it is my pride and privilege to
serve.
