iii li ti Wifi! l DR. CHARLES R. BROWN THE DEAN MEN-so vve have been told since the days ol Plato-need not so much to be informed as to be reminded. ln times like ours, when public matters have perlorce been painted before the national consciousness in large brush-strolces- sometimes in truth, sometimes in error- it seems more necessary than ever before lor earnest and serious students to revalue everything before they reject anything. Therefore, l would remind you, men and women ol Roanoke, that as you face the struggle for existence in a savage society, the value ol what you learn from day to day has a very important, if not immediate, bearing on your lives and welfare. Your genera- tion will witness many changes and re-adaptations. Youthful and lusty science leads on to constant surprise, it not reversal. There seems no end to Naturels surprises .. , no bottom to her mysteries. Remind yourselves then, to build, to tear dovvn, and to rebuild until you are satisfied with the effects. CHARLES R. BROWN 23 W ,E F . ln? Q

SMITH THE PRESIDENT This book will be a reminder For liie oi the people you knew and the things you did while the spell oi student experience was upon you. It will be a Fine book to drag out beiore your Fireside when your children and grandchildren cry for a story. They will scarcely recognize the Figure that you are then from the likeness oi the boy or girl that you are now. But you will be able to prove to them that you were once young, eager in spirit, and unafraid of the onward march oi time and events which you could not foresee. And, best oi all, from these pages you will draw material which, under the influence of a whetted memory, will make your hearers laugh and cry by turns as you weave For them the humor and pathos ol the life stories ol those whose portraits will be Found herein. l trust that in those distant years each one oi you may show a completeness of personality and a fullness oi liie lar in excess of any promise oi the pictures and stories oi this book. When this occurs Roanoke College will be conscious oi its most perfect work. It will rejoice greatly and its institutional spirit will foregather with you and your loved ones around the hearth. What college pours into the vessels oi our lives can never be lost. CHARLES J. SMITH 22
