This quotation, one of the many precepts contained in the Bible, should be Well heeded by all the prospective graduates, for it is the striving towards the enforcement of such a motto that will insure the attainment of success. Inasmuch as We are all imbued more or less with this one specific phase or line of work, agriculture, it would be for our own benefit as Well as tor society in general, to cling to that line.

THE GLEANER 7 It is with a very heavy heart that We, the Class of 1913, leave you- you who have been our companions in joy and sorrow, victory or defeat. We leave in your hands the institutions and ideals which We have loved and supported. Work in harmony in the Athletic Association, uphold the GLEANER, which is your united voice, encourage the Literary Society, and carry forth the banner of our glorious Alma Mater proudly as We have done during our stay here. It is your moral duty to strengthen each one and leave it safe in the hands of classes which are to follow you. Do not betray your trust or shirk your duty. To our director, Dr. Washburn, and members of the Faculty, Who have strengthened us so that We may more ably fight in the battle of life, We beg that they forgive us for any trouble or anxiety which We may have given them. May God give them strength in the noblest of all pro- fessions-that of making better and more useful men and upright citizens! To the Board of Managers, friends and supporters of our school, matrons, and all who have given their time and support to make our school one of the best of her kind, We thank one and all for their interest in the institution and in us. I To our President, Dr. Krauskopf, We can say but one thing: his life We shall take as an example of perseverance, generosity, kindness, and all the qualities which make a man great and noble, that which makes life Worth the living. Then, schoolmates andqprofessors, Directors and Board of Managers, matrons ana friends and our beloved Pres? dent, the Class of 1913 bids you farewell-an affectionate and longing farewell. UP, classmates! Up! You all who will go forth under the Orange and Black, step fearlessly into a Waiting World! Forward! The World gives no quarter. Let us fight back to back, shoulder to shoulder, for the glory of our parents, friends, Alma Mater and the noblest country in the creation of God! Fare thee Well. Enines I'd stay with you but I cannot, Opportunity drums on the pane, The voice from the city is Calling, So I'm to the World again. The woods and fields and meadows, Your broad, free fields are a prison, They call and call all day, The earth is wide and free, But what's that call to the voice I The hand from the city still beckons, hear? So the asphalt street for me. So I'm for my svveetheart's way. -J. W., '13,

THE GLEANER 9 not tolerate the transient in so far as the responsible position is con- cerned. Furthermore, almost all businesses are carried on on such a large scale to-day, that the specialist is gradually substituting the all-round man. Hence the expediency or feasibility of keeping within the bounds of the agricultural Held, and also of adhering to that certain phase of farming of which you have made a specialty, by virtue of that quality which ex-presidentLRoosevelt has so appropriately termed stick-to-it-ism. The time is once more at hand when the National Farm School will again send out the fruit of its student body to uphold and perhaps strengthen its reputation. It has tried its best, in spite of the many adverse circumstances with which it has had to contend, topreparethe coming graduates to cope with the numerous problems with which they will inevitably be confronted. It has offered the student a stairway leading partly up the mountain of life, and those who are now reaching the head of the flight will find the ascent from then on, more difficult. At this point, they will encounter innumerable paths, and they will doubtlessly direct their courses in accordance with their respective ambitions. Let us hope that they be not enticed into those paths of ill- repute, and that their choice should lead them to the zenith of their aspirations. Truly, it is with sad hearts that we are compelled to allow the departure of our friends, from whom some of us have hitherto been inseparable. We will surely miss them at the table, classes, and frater- nal gatherings. But let this separation not cause the gradual wearing away of the friendly ties that bind us. On the contrary, do all in your power to make the ties become more astringent. Brace up and serve as models to the incoming element, not only in name but in spirit. As a few parting words to the graduates, we all hope that they have taken advantage of the efforts of all those connected with the institution, to equip them well for the struggle in which they are about to participate, and we wish them success in all their undertakings. The graduating class this March is the largest in the history of the Farm School. This is directly due to the recent innovation in the cur- riculum, one year having been dropped. Q L-1'
