It was discovered early in the preparation for the 175th Anniversary Celebration that a Manager was an imperative necessity, and the selection of one was a task that confronted the Executive Committee for several weeks. When the consent of Mr. Reichert was secured to accept that important and onerous position, it was universally felt that the right man had been selected, and his subsequent labors have more than confirmed the correctness of this judgment. His work, in every particular, has been creditable to the highest degree.
