CODOS, 191 8 ®d tl? Ql laaa nf 1918 • 1 p SIf cc.to . 9 v r 1 1 i T scarcely seems possible we have spent three years together and that your commencement is at hand. Evidently the old saying is fulfilled that time passes quickly when it leads through pleasant paths. Do not think when your college work is over you can take a well-earned rest, for as a matter of fact there is no such thing as rest, as we are living in a dynamic world and should always bear in mind: NIHIL STAT. We have been told, if we do not go forward we will go backward, but life is not only forward motion, but also expansion. We broaden and deepen our minds by going out into the infinite ocean of knowledge and meeting those who will be able to give us considerable help if we exchange thoughts with them. Give to others of what you have and receive from them of what you have not. It is only on this principle that you will attain success if success is ever to be attained. Be not deceived by phantoms, and like Ixion, who enamoured of Juno, stretched out his arms to what he thought was the goddess and embraced a cloud. I am sure you will leave your Alma Mater with the best wishes of all. Some things which do not seem clear at times and cause annoyance when viewed from a certain angle, become perfectly plain and can be easily overlooked when the angle changes and they have passed by. We should ever remember that we are all human, therefore our judgment should not be hasty, and that we should try to overlook many things even as God overlooks all our faults and mistakes. My last recommendation, to use the words of a great sage, is: Do whatsoever your hand findeth to do for the day and do it with thy might; then when the night cometh you will feel that you have indeed had success in a day ' s work well done. I thank you for the dedication and trust we will meet in the future, when pages will be turned back, and we can all enjoy a review of days gone into the past. DeLancey Walton Ward. Eleven
