One could mi- in tin- piinoraniii stretched before tlieni scattered clumps of tnis. He could see occasional flocks of sheep. He could see the curlhijr smokes of farmstead ehlnmeys. His C( m|)anion could see more than the cluini)s ot trees; he could see that the trees meant coolness and shade in which Howers hned to bloom and in which children loved to play. He could see more than the sheep; he could see the warm woolen clothinjr which would turn the bitter blasts of the followiufr winter. He could see more than the smoker of the chimneys; he could see tlie hearthstones, symlxilic of b.ippiness, of home, and of love. This man had more than e esi}.dit. he had ' ision. Two men stood upon a barren desert. One saw only sajrebrush, lava rock, and a])par- ently endless stretches of worthless plains. His conijianion could see the desert transformed into many prosperous farms, each with a home as its nucleus. He could see a thousand ambitious young people as products of the desert. He could see a projrressive Christian collcfre equipping these for the struggles of life. He had more than eyesight, he liad Vision. His name is William .hidson I ' xxine. Hi eoniiianion is forgotten. A ' ision, when backed liy Faith, llii ' gri ' . ' test dynamic ]i(iwer hi the iniixerse, can, by it . sheer intensity, ])enetrate all imiiedinients. X ' ision can dispel thi- darkness of d(nd)t; it can rend the veil of unlielief, it can dis))erse the fog of skepticism aiul allow the creative, life- giving rays of Faith to siitt ' use their gentle benevolence U]ion the surface of tlu ' potent earth and give rise to such institutions as this. Hut ' lsion that can see beyond the n.ilural processes, Vision that can go even con- trary to natural sctpuMiccs, X ' ision ucli .is Inl ' .cld the void desert transformed into a blo-:- som-stiulded garden is not within the ken of linilc nu ' ii; and l ' ' aitii such as |iroiected this jiicture from the realm of the imagination nito the realm of reality is not within the grasp of human conipreliension. Mere man cannot see so far into the future; mere man cannot lay the foundations for such ])otent institutions; mere man cannot build so consistently up- ward and onward, as can man led by the spirit of God. Xo! Vision and Kaith such as the makers of our nation, the f.itln-rs of our church, and the founders of our college possessed constitute a divine faculty, bcslnwcd upon iicc.isii n,il men lo enalih ' them to perform some great and lasting service In liuiiianit . Yet many men may have seen Ihc vision, many men may have had the inspiration, many men nuiy have longed to develo|) it into a living, breathing reality. Hut few men h.ive l)een willing to nourish the vision with their own .unbitions; with their own ho] es. Few men have been willing to feed the infant drc.uu with their own life blood. They have lacked the dy- namic element in the Faiih of our Koundrs, for it was onl, by patient toil and ni blc sacrifice that substance was given lo the things for which they hoped. This institution, the t ' ollcge of Idaho, was conceived of the vision of our founders, nourished by their ]ierson,il ambitions and dedicated to the aspiring ones of future generations. To us, fellow students and alumni, and to you, our successors, is the fruition of this gift from our founders. Not only is it ours to enjoy, but it is ours to develoji, and ours to transmit. ' I ' he life conceived of their vision anil born of their travail is not yet mature. Loving hand- and solicitous e} ' es must yet steer ils course through adolescence .-uid into fall blown, ]irt - ductive maturity. Still others must hear the call of our founders. Still others nuist see the same visian. Still others nnist rise in the same si)irit of noble self-sacrifice that the work of our founders may reach its greatest fruitage. . nd still others will receive such love and adniir.ition a now emanate from us who are the reei|)ienls of the benefactions of our fiuniders. This development, with its conseipient rew.artl, is largely in the Ivinds of students, alumni, .and friends of the College of Id.iho. For that reason it gives us great pleasure io welconu ' here so many trui ' friends of the college. For tluit reason we are gljul to welctuue back so many loyal alunuii who are so interested in this ievelo| ment as to take jiart in these exercises. For the sanu- reason we are proud to show our institution to high school seniors in the ho|)e that our successors m.iy be numerous aiul loyal anil th.d their .iltachment to ihc ideals of our founders may he strong.
