cum GREEN BAG To The Faculty i FROM THE CLASS ,7 DREAMED a dream. I stood on a great plain outside the great walls T of a city. The surroundings, the manner of men were strange to me. I had never seen their like in my travels. I walked in through the great gates. Before me a great temple was being built. M Iny meneyoung men middle aged and hoary men labored saying naug t but ever work- ing steadily toward the completion of their task Materials were con- stantly being brought down from the mountains from the quarries in the bowels of the earth, from the ocean beds, across the plains to the workers White marble of the color of doves, a1abaster,porphyry,precious stones came in endless streams through the swinging gates. Yet withal came material which had to be discarded Marble with blemish stones with imperfections brilliants lacking purity of lustre had to be discarded. I stood 1n amazement at he transcendent splendor of that part of the temple which had been completedi The like I had never seen in any portion of the world. I approached an ancient. iISir, said 1, HI am a stranger in this land. Tell me, sir, I pray, who are you men and what manner of temple is this that you rear and to what god. The ancient regarded me for a moment, then said, II My son, well might you ask, IWho are you men and what manner of temple it is that grou rear, and to what godPI These my son are those who are teachers in life. 1 The material- precious stones marble alabaster, porphyry, which you see coming in endless stream through the gates are the pupils of earth. From every climate under the vault of heaven they come down to the great temple of Learning, which lifts men closer to God, to be a part of this great structure. Some who come worshipfully, seeking Truth and Who apply themselves diligently, shine as brilliants. Then, too there are those who come blemished by indifference and lack of ambition. These must be discarded lest they mar the temple. But the Teachers labor on and on rearing ever the Temple They cannot stop their work. It is the Great Work of the earth. And when they pass on others take their places to finish their tasks But none of these shall see the Ifruition of their labors It 1s perhaps a penalty in the eyes of the world, buti it renders more poignant the joy which they shall feel when the Great Teacher of the Taught shall call them to View the fmished work. ii Some day the teachers' hopes, their aspirations and sorrows their patience, their striving which have led them on earth to sacrifice their lives for their pupils, shall blossom out in that light of endless life which no sorrow mars and is intensihed ever by the rewards of earthly sacrihce. And as a iperpetual monu- ment to their zeal and labor shall be the beautiful Temple of Knowledge which they while yet on earth have reared. i
