aphorisms which included the Whole mystery of the Apolline Ethics: Know Thyselff' and Measure in All Things. - As priests of Apollo, interpreters of the Oracle within old Colby's walls, our work is done, and yet we-fain would linger in these fair-wrought halls. It cannot be, for other priests will soon put on the sacred vestments we have laid aside. From the temple to the people we must go. W'e fear them not, for we have done our best to keep the ancient laws. Those laws just and commend- able in the days of Solon, Thales or Epimenides, are no less just and com- mendable to-day. And we have sought to follow them. Ever bearing in mind the Apolline command Know Thyselif' we have endeavored by a few well-meant suggestions to cause you all to see yourselves as others see you, but in so doing we have carefully observed the second maxim, Measure in All Thingsf' And so we believe that if we have interpreted the utterances in all sincerity .and truth, if we have not used the Oracle tribe against tribe, if We have sought to com- pose all differences and avert disputes, if we have ev.er aimed at an ideal unity and brotherhood among our fellows, then, and only then, have we done well the work assigned us. ,q But how is it with you, sons and daughters of Colby? You, too, have your duties to perform. Have you in piety and love adorned old Colby's templed walls as did those men of old? Have you, Oh Alumnus, when Fortune smiled, brought to Colby in return for her good counsels, the golden summer and laid it lovingly, willingly, upon 'her shrine? Have you all sought by every means in your power to raise here a grand temple of learning, and make Colby the centre of the Maine college world? If so, you may scan our work and cri-ticise our shortcomings. But, if per- chance your duty is -not yet done, see to it that your debts are all discharged be- fore you lay your finger on this work, and say, Herein have they failed. ear I2
