Book excerpt: Excerpt from Taps, 1916, Vol. 9 From his first days in College, he took a first place in every kind of work and every phase of college life; and, best of all, he took a first place in the hearts of those who knew him - students and teachers. Everybody always liked Little Dave, in spite of his insistence upon reporting persistently every breach of regulations he saw while on any sort of responsible duty. And that, in a military school, is a supreme test. Most of us respect a man for doing his duty, even at our expense; but it is not very easy to be fond of him in such circumstances. In the classroom, in the Literary Societies, in military matters, in the various forms and phases of college pleasures, such as they were in those early days, he easily stood first, a man to be noticed of teachers and students. At a time when Senior Captain was the highest cadet office, he filled that trying position in such a way as to win from all commendation and admiration. Graduating from the agricultural course in February, 1898, Mr. Henry remained at Clemson several months taking special work in Chemistry. Then he was away, in Athens, Ga., for a while, doing chemical work; but he returned to his alma mater, in 1899, to accept a position in the Chemistry Department, where he has been in continuous service ever since, having been in turn instructor, assistant professor, and now for a number of years associate professor. During all these years he has been a faithful and efficient worker, a strict but lovable teacher, and a man whom to know is surely to admire. Clemson College and Clemson students have never had a friend more loyal to their interests, more eager to serve them, and more able to do a man's share in the multiple duties and opportunities of such a college as ours. An enthusiast in college athletics, and interested always in the various other pleasures and activities of student life out side of the routine, he has always encouraged and fostered all that is wholesome and beneficial for the development of young men. In fact, were it necessary to sum up his official and unofficial attitude and efforts during the nearly two decades of his life here since graduation, it could best be done in-the three significant words, the students' friend.
