Frederick Douglas Patterson:

Educator and skilled administrator, who has dedicated twenty-five years of your life as teacher and president of Tuskegee Institute with singleness of purpose and rare devotion to the welfare of the Institution, and with self-effacing efficiency conducted the day by day operations of the famed Tuskegee Institute with smoothness and ease of execution; who, upon the retirement, of Dr. Robert Russa Moton, became president without disruption or dissent, without commotion or loss of motion, and with the complete confidence and friendly support of trustees, faculty and undergraduates. Such a result could only have been achieved through qualities of fairness, modesty, thoughtful consideration and courage and the best type of constructive leadership. In your own quiet way you have made an outstanding contribution, not only to Tuskegee Institute, but to world education. We, the Alabama Association Of Negro County Agents, at our annual meeting in Dothan, Alabama May 8-9, 1953, salute you.
