F; 3y ' ttofrasso-x Al s-fl D§mtxn£l To my children gathered here, These my student boys and girls, Who have always been so dear — These with golden hair in curls, In the freshness of their youth ; These with hair like raven ' s wing, Who have heard the call of truth, And my praises love to sing ; These my girls with hair of gray. And my boys with wrinkled brow Who have loved in youthful day And are true and faithful now — Greetings bring I to you all ; May you ever faithful be. Blossoms that will never fall From our dear old Banvan-tree. Life is like a lover ' s song. To such boys and girls as you ; I am happy all day long, When my boys are brave and true, When my girls are chaste and sweet, As the roses in their bloom, Then the thorns that prick their feet And the sorrow and the gloom Will be changed to sweetest joy : All the world will seem to say : Happy girls and blessed boys, Be forever what you may. See our dear old White and Blue Waving in the morning light. You will never be untrue To those colors fair and bright. See our Temple on the hill, White and stainless as a dove ; It awakes this joyous thrill. Born of loyalty and love. May that Temple be the home Of your children, strong and brave ; While beneath its sheltering dome May they learn the truths that save. Greetings bring I to you all ; May you ever faithful be. Blossoms that will never fall From our dear old Banvan-tree.

Work-togetherness is service of the highest form. The work-togetherness of dollars spells capital, and drives the wheels of financial enterprise to the highest summits of material success. The work-togetherness of minds constructs Republics and plans progress in a manner incomparable with all the efforts of the scatter-brainness of the world. The work-togetherness of heart gives to the state, patriotism ; to the school. loyalty ; to the church, devotion : and to the home, felicity. The foundation of the work-togetherness of dollars must be laid in fru- gality : capital comes to him only who spends less than he earns. The work-togetherness of heart is fostered in the family circle through sac- rifice and appreciation. It manifests itself in a high degree where there is co-oper- ative consideration for each other s tasks, a sharing of each other ' s triumphs, and the holding sacred of each other ' s rights. A young man just coming into citizen- ship, said to his father, Father, while I am not convinced that there is harm in the act itself, I will not go joy-riding on the Sabbath day, because I can not afford to tear down what you are trying to build up — a reverence for the Sabbath. Work- togetherness of heart had won its way in that household. Every applause that he joins, every college song he sings, every cheer he gives. every response of his soul to the call for reverence at devotion, adds to the student ' s power of work-togetherness of heart. Today Old Glory waves from the windows and porches of private resi- dences, and from the tops of business houses and public buildings. All over the land the starry banner is unfurled. The display is a signal that our whole nation is engaged in the work-togetherness of heart protesting against an insult to our flag. We go to church to learn, but more to love. It is a place of spiritual recre- ation, where strife is never welcomed — a place in which there are no seats for covetousness or vanity ; hate has not even standing room ; and where mortals may become, through the work-togetherness of the heart, most nearly like that One who is the object of their worship. God ' s promise is kept, Where two or three are gathered together in my name, as touching one thing, behold, there will I be in the midst of them. Such worship has always been the work-togetherness of God and men. — Geo. H. Brimhall.
