Tape 3 July 18, 1969
Eckles: Yesterday, sir, we were talking about your role in
the development of the Purdue Research Foundation,
and we were also talking about trustees. You had
finished, I believe, with David Ross. Do you want
to add anything to what you said yesterday about
Mr. Ross?
Potter: L_Nothin.s.7' except that he is without question the
greatest benefactor Purdue has ever had.
There were other trustees about the same time who
were unusual. There was Faye F. Chandler who was
for many years in top management in the Chandler and
Taylor Company in Indianapolis, manufacturers of
reciprocating steam engines. Later on he came to
Lafayette and became a vice-president in charge of
sales of the Ross Gear. Chandler had a very fine
appreciation of people's reactions, a good understanding
of the needs of industry, and a great love
for his alma mater, Purdue University. He graduated
from Purdue a few years after Dave Ross did.
Another trustee that I respected very highly was
Simpson of Vincennes, a horticulturist, an exceedingly
fine family man, and a devoted citizen. He
was the type of person who sort of sets the tone
