"The spell of Gould was upon Carleton before its generator assumed the presidency. Back of the spell were a ground-gripping body, broad and hirsute hands, leathern face outcropped with stubborn stubble, low-slung, tousled forelock, hearty manner, and lusty laugh. The total impression accorded well with tales of arctic exploration and lecture pictures of fur capote and huskies." [Carleton: The First Century, 1966]
