Abstract
The title of my talk this evening may have the flavor of Horatio Alger's stories which so entranced many of us in our boyhood days. His and similar stories, as I remember, depicted the life and adventures of boys who eventually became the heroes of the tales, succeeding in every undertaking. Perhaps there is a certain similarity between the Alger boys and the life and work of the "boy" we have come together to honor this evening.
I am happy to have a part in this recognition of my good friend and colleague, Edwin Stanton Good. I have known well several whose work and character have gained them a place in this Club's hall of fame. I know of none more worthy of this distinction or who has more alertly met the opportunities available to him than Professor Good.
The background of one who has attained eminence and achieved success, the forces which have motivated his actions and his human relationships are always of interest and usually inspiring.
