This day marks an epoch in the history of our lives. Perhaps a second meeting ofall the members of the class o! 1905 will not be granted, for as we dif- fer in abilities and aims, so must our course in life diverge. But let us not say farewell, but rather, ''God bless you.”’ Tothose who seek the highest good, the advancement of humanity, separation is unknown.
