Professor Peck has expressed with great tenderness of feeling and genuine literary skill the Co- lumbia spirit of the older day and the Columbia spirit of the year which marks your graduation. In the short interval of ten years We have exchanged one form and mode of life for another, and in losing something of the picturesque, the sense of nearness and of having much in common, We have gained participation in a far richer and fuller and stronger life, and we have come to occupy before the World the place which is justly our University's due. You Will, I am sure, not soon forget the years that you have passed on Morningside. The farther they fade into the dis- tance, the more they will seem to you to mean, and Columbia Will become, I venture to predict, not less, but more, real and vivid as the years roll on. Nothing in our American life is finer than the attachment of the College and University man for his stu- dent home. Nothing else indicates so clearly the true and noble sentiment which binds us in future life to our years of prepara- tion, and which exalts those years of preparation to a peculiar place in our affections. It has been your lot, coming from distant parts of the land, to be welded during your student life into a single homogeneous body. You are now about to separate and go each his Way into the work of the World. You will, however, never lose the traces of the unity and the homogeneity which you have gained here. PRESIDENT,S LETTER The name of this year will always have for you an attraction and a significance of its own, and I trust that it may be only the forerunner of many that will be rich in happiness, in use- fulness and in honorable service. With cordial greeting and warmest regard for each and all, I am, Faithfully yours, NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, President. April 7, 1908. DEAN'S LETTER To the Class of 1908, Columbia College. Dear Fellow Collegians: I respond very gladly to your invitation to say a final word to you as students, just before you assume the dignity of alumni. I have said many words to you during your residence here. I would believe, if I could, that they have always been wise and helpfulg but as that would be too great a demand upon self- confidence, I must content myself with the hope that some of them at least have been of service to you. If you have had justice done you, and have done justice to yourselves, what is it of most worth that you will carry away With you? It is not knowledge-of Which, nevertheless, I hope you have acquired a great deal in many departments of learn- ing. It is training, through which knowledge has come to you, it is character, without which knowledge is of comparatively little value, it is a nice sense of personal obligation, without the possession of which by the principal part of a community, the community must suffer that degeneracy of manners and con- tempt of religion that, as Swift said, presage the ruin of a state , it is an appreciation of the value of time and of the necessity of its careful apportionment, without which no man can attain the highest happiness or reach the full measure of his usefulness, it is a capacity for friendship, fostered by associa- tion with each other in student activities of one kind or another and without which life must lack grace and charm, it is a store of recollections that grow more precious with the passing years and serve to mitigate the diminutions of age. By ceaseless action all that is subsistsv-that is true of nature, it is true also of institutions of learning. Said Cowper in his Task', : Constant rotation of th' unwearied Wheel That nature rides upon, maintains her health, DEAN's LETTER Her beauty, her fertility. She dreads An instant's pause, and lives but While she moves.', ml Columbia 'glives but While she moves. Since you Were ad- mitted to the company of the elect in 1904, the College has umovedf, Its relations to other parts of the University are different, courses of study have been readjusted and rearticu- lated, the internal economy has been modifiedg and the external appearance has been vastly changed for the better. At the time of your entrance, the College had no home of its own. It was camping out on its own domain, it was a visitor, and not always a Welcome one, among the children of its own begetting. Hamilton Hall, which was begun, finished and occupied within your time, is a beautiful home of the College-and it is more. It stands as the declaration of a policy, on the part of the Trustees, to foster the College and advance its interests. That is surely movement worth while and in the right direction, such as will strengthen Columbia in maintaining her health, her beauty, her fertility. Her health would be impaired, her beauty marred and her fertility sadly restricted, if, by any catastrophe, the College should lose its distinct and rightful place in the general scheme. Any professional or specialized training should be preceded by a liberal, i. e. a liberalizing education, such as a good college is intended to give and does give. The importance of this antecedent and preparatory education, such as you have had, I commend to your favor and advocacy. Let no opportunity of upholding and urging' it escape-and so do good to your Alma lVIater and to the com- munity at large. Witli my best Wishes to you all for useful, prosperous and happy lives, I am, with affectionate regard, Sincerely yours, J. H. VAN AMRINGE.

The College, with its old traditions and customs, has been the nucleus from which this large and magnificent University has expanded. The support of these customs, of which Class- day is the most cherished, has been our greatest pleasure, and in it we have formed those deep-rooted friendships and helpful relationships of college life which will influence so strongly our future lives. We have worked together and played together, and to-day, as we iight our fights and play our games over again, We hope that even you who are older will feel the spirit and thrill of youthful enthusiasm. It is but natural, as We bid farewell to the College to which we are bound by so many ties and associations, that our feel- ings of sorrow should be mingled with cheerfulness and hope, for there is so much in the past to be justly proud of, that, this afternoon as we review our four years of college life, We rejoice and aspire with confidence to greater achievements and higher aims. You are about to hear the history of the Class of 1908-a record abounding in deeds performed in honor of our Alma Mater. The Prophet will reveal to you the future in prophe- cies which it would be as impossible for you to deny as for him to prove, and then the Presentation Orator will illustrate for PRESIDENT,S ADDRESS you some individual eccentricities which often make rather than mar a man. Every class which graduates has its personality and individ- uality Which leaves its mark upon the past and future, and this afternoon, as you listen to my classmates, you Will realize that our class has taken no small part in the history of Columbia College. We have done our best in the past as undergraduates, and, as we enter into the ranks of the graduates, our strength and loyalty shall be measured and recognized insomuch as we grasp the lifelong opportunity offered us-of serving and sup- porting, and paying of some of the many obligations We owe the College which has been our home. Now, as We proceed with the exercises of Class-day, in behalf of the Class of 1908, I extend to all of you a hearty and most cordial Welcome. HAROLD FOWLER. CLASS HISTORY Ladies, Gentlemen and Fellow Students: Custom decrees that each year some member of the Gradu- ating Class shall record the deeds that the class has performed during its stay at the University. I have been selected for this purpose, and, in a meager way-for who could portray other- wise the glorious deeds and exploits of the Class of 1908?-I shall endeavor to do this. From time immemorial it has been the custom of my predeces- sors to give a highly exaggerated account of what their classes have done, painted in such vivid colors that their very brilliancy has hidden the true Worth of their deeds. Gentlemen, who could improve upon the history of the Class of 1908 by exaggeration? Therefore I shall relate to you merely hard, cold facts which are thrilling enough to stir the blood of the most phlegmatic among us. The brilliant, aye, I might even say extraordinary, although of course vividly green collection of Freshmen, which have now grown into this dignified assemblage of Seniors before me, first appeared on the Columbia campus in the year of our Lord nine- teen hundred and four. Our greeting from the Faculty was all that could be desired, but, to our amazement and chagrin, the Sophomores were waiting for us armed with caps, rules and but- tons which they boomed at exorbitant prices. VV'hat a proud, overbearing crowd of Sophomores they were, and how they grinned when they sold us our White-topped caps! That was the first of a long series of mistakes made by our rivals, for by our very caps we became organized and knew ourselves. Our first meeting was held in Havemcyer Hall, Where We were marshaled by several Juniors and told that we must, ac- cording to the best regulated Freshman classes, break up the Sophomore smoker on the morrow. Of course the Juniors did not tell us how to do it, and likewise We were all unaware of Sophomore spies in the room. What cared We for these trivial CLASS HISTORY disadvantages when our minds were set on smashing that smoker? In the morning we met at various appointed places,and, again in charge of the trusty Juniors, advanced on the campus in a body, losing few of our number by parole or capture to the Sophomores who guarded the gates. After many brief scrim- mages the majority of us gained the campus, to the chagrin of the Sophomores, where we decided on a meeting place for the evening and prepared to smash the smoker that night. Several of our steadfast friends in the Class of 1906 were on hand to inform us where the Sophs', would smoke on this sphere, and, like an army, we moved on Terrace Gardens. Here the brave Class of 1907 were intrenched at the top of a narrow stairway wide enough for only two fellows at a time, which was the only means of access. Nothing daunted, we advanced, and, although frequently hurled down, succeeded in pulling Soph after Soph with us until their fighting spirit was broken, and they re-enforced themselves with the major part of Binghanfs bluecoats, who left the remainder of the city unguarded while they helped their friends, the Sophomores, evidently in dire dis- tress. After putting up a valiant although somewhat one-sided fight against the black acks, we retired in good order with a few cut heads, while the brave Sophs continued their festivities surrounded by a cordon of police seldom equaled in New York, In this combat, A. P. Montgomery, our present doughty track general, first distinguished himself by pulling six 1907 men downstairs at once, two of whom were Irish and one with red hair. The next day we were on hand for the flag rush, which is a sort of a hundred to one shot consolation prize for the Sopho- mores to win, arranged by the upper classmen. Although we almost captured the Hag several times and had our rivals guess- CLASS HISTORY ing, yet against the heavy odds we were finally forced to yield the victory to our opponents. Now both classes stopped for a breathing spell and to attend classes occasionally before again going at each other's throats. In the meantime we elected our Worthy first President, W. B. Robinson, who has since left us. We organized a football team, and under Chalmers Wood's coaching, better known as the famous 'fBill's brother, the eleven soon rounded into shape. On the day before Thanksgiv- ing We met the Sophomores, who, reinforced by several Varsity players, triumphed over us after a hard-fought game by the score of six to nothing. Hardly had the Sophomores caught their breath from the Fall fights when their eyes were opened by our cane spree sex- tet. We tied our older and more experienced rivals by Win- ning three bouts, and they were fortunate to escape with this threadbare consolation. Our basketball quintet also defeated their team in grand style by the score of 13 to 11. Things went on quietly until January, when our older rivals decided to have a class dinner and wanted some of our leading members to be present, which We objected to rather strenuously, as was subsequently proven. The result was one of the most memorable fights in the history of Columbia, which took place on Broadway at the 116th Street Subway station while some of our ofiicers were making their escape by the underground. What a fight it was! The contestants were dragged through snow and slush, over the car tracks and through the mud, but ever with the 1908 men on top. The next day the metropolitan dailies lauded us for our noble victory over our more experi- enced rivals. Now the Sophomores began to realize that it was time to quit playing with a live wire, and, as Spring approached, we lived on in peace. Captain Everett Swartout, of our valiant baseball CLASS HISTORY nine, led his team to victory over our 1907 opponents by the overwhelming score of 7 to 3. After a hard year of fighting, the scrappiest class in the his- tory of Columbia closed its career as Freshmen by boating a crew that Hnfhedstliisrduaggggghkeelfgeibe'a tpglffennsylg Avania, under Captain Harry 11IQlb.ertZS,-19iLfiCI.5hip, As is right andapirdper, the Class of 1908 returned to college in the Fall of 1905 a dignified and experienced aggregation of Sophomores determined to keep order among the entering class and restrain them if they became obstreperous. Yes, even spank those 1909 'Treshiesv if necessary, but never to lose our dignity. Our smoker was held in a cafe on Third Avenue, wherewe took several captured 1909 men Who-were very amusing as entertainers When their classmates, marshaled by the Juniors, attacked us. They were being repelled in a furious set-to when the proprietor, becoming nervous over his fast disappearing china, summoned the police Who, with the aid of the hickory, adjourned the session. The next day we took the Hag rush in a perfunctory manner, handling our young opponents in easy style and handily defend- ing the 1908 pennant which waved proudly in the breeze at the end of the fray. Again we triumphed over the much-vaunted 1909 eleven in the annual football game by the score of 5 to 0, when our de- parted friend, Ruben Maplesden, broke through and blocked a kick, scoring the only touchdown of the game on the play. This was the last game of football played by a Columbia team, and it was altogether fitting that our class should Win it. The next achievement, which appears in our ponderous rec- ords, Was the Sophomore show, entitled A Tragedy, which Was so highly artistic and intensely dramatic that Carnegie Lyceum was constantly filled, and through this medium the greater part of our Freshman crew debt was paid off. X is CLASS HISTORY Our victories were repeated in the cane sprees, which We took by four bouts to three, and the pushball farce. The latter affair gave us the privilege of having a 'few of our younger rivals at the Class Dinner, where We awed them with our dig- nity. The year drove swiftly to its close, punctuated by more victo- ries and a few defeats. Our baseball team because of lack of practice went down to defeat before the 1909 team to the tune of 8 to 3, and it was a Well-earned victory won by Worthy op- ponents. Meantime We had elected George Mackenzie our Sophomore President, who Worthily led the class through all its fights. Both George Mackenzie and G. L. C. Earle made the Varsity crew. in theiiiphomore year. So our siecyonidwyear at collegnewhaidvdirgawil to a close, and Tvtgweiie upper-classmen. In the Fall of 1906 we returned to the University prepared to set our Freshmen friends in the Class of 1910 an example worthy to be emulated. To be sure We sic-ed the Freshies', on the smoker, and under our able direction they smashed up this affair in great style. Our most noteworthy achievements this year Were two in number, the Columbian and the Junior Ball, both of which Were highly successful. VVho can ever forget that first Junior week which we inaugurated, and the merry times at the theater, basketball game and teas, all of which was brought to a climax by the elaborate Junior Ball held at Sherry's? The Columbian, too, was highly artistic and at- tractive aswell as keenly interesting, which was due largely to its energetic editor, William L. Wood. Again We came to the front in athletics, for George Maglign- zie and Harry M. Sn-eviilly-eere in that famous 1907 crew that We all know so much about-the last crew that Columbia ever had. Our Senior year passed tranquilly, and here we are on the CLASS HISTORY eve of graduation, and when we look back it would seem that we had first come to the campus only last week, so quickly have those happy four years passed. VVhat have we done in this, our last year? Fi1'st, We have elected that sterling good fellow and athlete, Harold Fowler, our President. We have been looked on as the leaders of the student body, and we have en- deavored to direct student thought and student activities in the right channels. We again have on-er map- on the crew, Harryx-Mggnevily, that eight we all so much hope to see cross the line firusfuii June. Austin lllontgomery is at the helm in track affairs g Foster Wipe and Walter BrZ5d'TL-ry have elevated the literary atmosphere of Pihe campus through the medium of the Spectator as its editors. Now we will turn over many pages and chapters, for this his- tory is a massive volume, and my interpretation is a very con- densed abstract, and look at some statistics. Our average height is 5 feet 9 inches, most of us are twenty-two years one month old, and the happy medium of avoirdupois is 14:0 pounds. Most of us would rather play football than anything else for sport and loaf as a pastime, while 59 per cent. of our number drink occasionally, and 66 per cent. smoke. Acording to the vote, Harold Fowler is the best all-round member, Harry Snevily the best athlete, and Foster Ware has done most for Columbia. Cur most conceited product, some believe, is Addison Van Tine, while Latham Reed is the best dressed and George Bull the most eccentric. Tom Alexander de- votes much of his time to giving the girls a treat, and he seems to be impartial in his all'ections,f or he has been declared the big- gest fusser. John Odell Hauser wins the moody handicap, for he is the grouchiest, while George Bagley is the biggest grind and Robert Bagnell is the laziest. Our class is swamped by mod- est men, for Harold Banks, Paul Billingsley and Harry Snevily are tied for first place, while that prince of good fellows, Austin CLASS HISTORY P. Montgomery, Walked away with the vote for our best-natured member. George Bull was voted the noisiest, as well as the biggest social light and biggest sport, Harold Fowler the most popular man, F. H. Rindge the best student, and Willian'1 Deacon Murphy the most likely to succeed. Bill,' Wood is our wittiest associate, W. B. Woodbury the most lady-like, and VV. D. Murphy is following in the footsteps of his namesake, Charlie,,' for he Was elected the biggest politician. Now, gentlemen, our college days are over, and we will soon part on our several walks of life. I have tried to relate in my feeble way the incidents of the past four years, and what our class has done during its college career. We have always worked, I believe, with our Alma Mater at heart and kept Co- lumbia first in our minds. We have supplied men for athletic teams, and for two years we have been foremost in the fight for the restoration of that great game, football, as we were in sup- plying material for the team when that was one of our dearest hopes and joys. Let us hope that we will go out into the World and begin our career as Alumni with Columbia spirit and our Alma Mater's welfare uppermost in our minds, always remembering that our first duty is to put our college name in the highest place where it will remain unspotted down through all the ages. JOHN NEVILLE WHEELER. CLASS PROPHECY MMEDIATELY following the momentary satisfaction which my election to the office of Class Prophet gave me, I was .overcome by the consciousness of the immense difli- culty and enormous responsibility which had devolved upon me. I had been commissioned to plunge into the unfathomable depths of life's secret workings and emerge with the knowledge of her impenetrable mysteries. Surely a tremendous and perilous un- dertaking. Numerous ways of evading the difficulty suggested themselves, the most prominent and natural one being to ven- ture a personal judgment based upon the most striking charac- teristics which so far my classmates had displayed. This solu- tion had almost won my approval when visions of Philosophy A and the theory of Probability rose before me and I abandoned the idea in despair. I then began reading the philosophies of India and consulted from time to time various spiritualists and mystics, hoping to discover with their aid some Way of accom- plishing my task. Alas! all my efforts were of no avail. My sleep became restless and I was frequently awakened during the night by haunting visions of Prophets and Seers, ranging from the time of Moses to the recent advent of Dowie. One night during this period of obsession, arriving home about 2 A. M. and realizing that the moment of my martyrdom was fast approach- ing, I lit my pipe and settling back comfortably in a cushioned chair, again tried to solve the problem. I had been musing thus for a long time when suddenly my eyes grew heavy and a thick vapor filled the room with a peculiar and intoxicating perfume. My senses reeled and I felt myself borne through the air with bewildering rapidity. CTO be concluded on Class Dayj JAS. H. DONOHUE, Jn. ' --o-gr: 4' ,p .Q A Q V, --MQ me .4A-iii s . V PRESENTATION ORATION REAT men always have their peculiarities. The great Class of 1908 contains a great number of very great men. So great are they that volumes could be Written of the achievements of well-nigh any one of them. In the short space allotted me, I can only touch upon the peculiarities of a very few, not so much because these few are the greatest, but that as specimens they may convey to you an idea of the re- markable and wonderful Class of 1908. Exhibit A -Walter G. Brandley, The man who made the Commons famousf' Walter is a journalist. His peculiarity is that he is never satisfied unless he is investigating something. He delights in investigations. This year, when he became editor of the Spectator, he found the whole Spectator Board looking lean and thin. He immediately fixed upon the Commons as the cause of this hungry appearance. So the Spectator stealthily and secretly started an investigation. Some Commons food was brought, and at midnight, in the innermost recesses of the Spectator ofhce, it was investigated. The result was astounding. It was found that the holes in the cheese in the Commons sand- wiches were -5 inch wide, while the holes in the cheese from Yale Dining Hall were but 7-16ths of an inch wide. The outcome was a scalding publicity-bath for the Commons. The Spectator laid bare the inside methods of Frenzied Grub-making. And what happened? Before the expose Commons sandwiches Were like this fpresenting an ordinary sandwich, the bread cut crosswise from the loaf After the investigation, the sandwiches were like this fpresenting a sandwich, the bread cut lengthwise from the loaf J . Four years ago there was no purer and holier spot on the Campus than Earl Hall. It was the gathering place of stead- fast souls, devout and pureg a hallowed, unblemished sanctum sanctorum. But then Frederick H. Rindge, whom I now introe duce to you, became connected with the Christian Association. PRESENTATION ORATION He meant to get the heathen into the hall and to rope them into the Association. I blush to tell you what he did, but I must. Soon after he appeared, smoking was allowed in that conse- crated spot, and Earl Hall became more popular. Next, pool tables were installed to catch more heathen, Earl Hall still more popular, converts every hour. Rumor has it that the other day some men were found playing a peculiar game with pennies in the basement. As a symbol of the sporting tendencies which Fred Rindge has introduced into Earl Hall, and with the sug- gestion that if he desires to get enough converts to start a cru- sade, he open one of these at every Bible class, I present him with this C giving him a bottle of champagnej. The 6'Little Nemo of 1908-Austin P. Montgomery. With all of his other multifarious duties, Austin is connected with the Track Team. He is its Manager and a clever manager is he. Why, he can squeeze a contribution out of a Senior at Com- mencement time. But the particular trait which We Wish to call attention to in lNIonte is that he is an unusually graceful cross-country runner. There is a little story about Monte. He was jogging down Riverside Drive one day, when a beautiful young damsel remarked to a companion: '4Why, look at the pretty man. He runs like a gazellef' A Columbia Freshman overheard this remark and looked up the word gazelle in Brander Mathews' Simplified Spelling Dictionary. He found it meant a little dear. I, therefore, give Mr. Montgomery this memento as a reminder of his achievements as a cross-country runner. CI-Ianding him a small deer.j Orators are born, not made. I now ask you to gaze upon 9. second Demosthenes, Fremont A. Higgins, who was born in time to become a member of the illustrious Class of 1908. Higgins can orate on demand. Tears or laughter does he draw from his auditors as he wills. All competitors fall before him, stunned by the thunderbolts of his vociferous eloquence. It is no more PRESENTATION ORATION than just that upon this momentous occasion he should receive a portrait of his only living equal, William Jennings Bryan. The next exhibit is Foster tVare. Until a few months ago we all had hopes that Foster would become a great man, but then he became inoculated with the Barn Dance germ. Life since that time is one long, joyous barn dance for him. He just canit make his feet behave. Now what can be more fitting than to barn dance to the old tune, Where are you going, my pretty maidiw And what is more appropriate than to do the barn dance with such a maid as this. QPresenting him with ad- vertisement of I-Iorlick's Malted Milk, a large cardboard figure of a milkmaid with pail and milking stool.j We have with us to-day something which would gladden the heart of our Chief Executive, Theodore Roosevelt-a college man in politics-Paul William Henry 'W'indels. In the far- off' town of Brooklyn this young man is a power. Never were voters more loyal to a chieftain than are his followers to him. It is only his natural modesty and his reluctance to leave the halls of his Alma Mater that have prevented him from becoming an Alderman long ere this. And what is the secret of his suc- cess? It is something which has caused the rise of many a poli- tician, politicist and publicist. At election time he makes it a point to kiss every baby in his district. And then? VVhy, the fond mothers think he is the greatest man that ever lived, and force all the fond fathers to vote as he says. In order that during the lull between elections he may not lose his art as a baby-kisser, we give him this rag doll, upon which to practise. fWill Mr. William L. Wood please step forward?j No great body of men to-day is complete without a toast- master. Somebody is needed to preside at their banquets. But alas! good toastmasters are few and far between. The renowned Class of 1908, however, has one par excellence. Such a toast- master is he, such introductions does he give the speakers, that PRESENTATION ORATION no one whom he calls upon for a toast can fail to speak, and speak well. He is a wonder at making people talk-a veritable hypnotist. On behalf of the Class of-1908, and as a reward for the illustrious services and marked ability he has displayed, I present him with this appointment as teacher of elocution and public speaking in Barnard College. There is great art in carrying a cane. There is a member of this class who possesses a cane, likewise that art. His name is George H. Bull. He is the master of every swing. Long swings, short swings, circles, hyperbolas, parabolas, he makes them all with equal ease. No drum-maj or ever manipulated his baton better than George Bull does his cane. He has a special swing for warm days-an easy, unexacting one. For cool days he has a snappy, brisk circulation accelerator. As a fitting ap- preciation of his talents, I deliver to his care this memorial, and with the hope that its handle will taste as delectably as the han- dle of the cane he usually carries. fGiving him a large candy canej Harold Fowler, Kitchell M. Boorman, Henry IVI. Snevily are also to be mentioned when this speech is delivered, but as they are on the Class Book Committee, noth- ing about them appears here. Gnoncis WASHINGTON JAQUES, Jn. VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Friends and Fellow-classmates : i We have all heartily en oyed the more or less witty remarks which have thus far characterized these exercises of the Class of 1908, and it may at first appear incongruous for me to attempt the presentation of thoughts more serious in their im- port. In these moments of formal leave-taking, however, this does not seem out of place, and our friends will bear with us if we give full expression to those feelings which lie nearest our hearts. Four years we have lived together as members of a great University. Four years we have struggled onward, with minds intent on that goal which has finally been reached. Now that we are here, the significance of Hawthorne's words is borne in upon us: 'CI-Iow often is it the case, when impossibilities have come to pass and dreams have condensed their misty substance into tangible realities, that we find ourselves calm and even coldly self-possessed, amid circumstances which it would have been a delirium of joy, or agony, to anticipate. Yes-how natural it all seems, and how readily our thoughts turn toward other goals as yet unattained. As Freshmen, when we attended exercises similar to these, we gazed with respect and admiration at the grave Seniors, and wondered if we could ever become so dignified. Yet to-day brings to a close our four years, our turn has come to say farewell to the intimate associations of the college We have learned to love. In other years the class-day exercises meant little to usg now they possess a meaning far deeper than words can express. Graduation has proved not an impossibility, not a dream-but a reality. As we look back over our college activity, shall we not be honest with ourselves? Do we not see many duties carelessly performed, many opportunities forever lost, many things that might have been and now may never be? We acknowledge the mistakes and failures, but even they have been factors in the VALEDICTORY ADDRESS molding of character. Let us, therefore, cast aside our re- grets and recall our errors only in so far as we or others may profit by them. Let us think rather of that which has afforded us most pleasure-our social life and the true friendships We have formed. Some of us have felt deeply that so long as We love, We serve, so long as We are loved by others . . . we are indispensable, and no man is useless While he has a friend? To the Undergraduates we desire to leave this farewell mes- sage: In no university can everything be perfect, and in every university will be found some men who actually take pleasure in complaining. Remember that Grumblers never Work, and Workers never grumble? If you don't see What you want, work for ita' should be the motto of every Columbia student. You are here not merely to get, but to giveg and believe us when we say that those things, which you may be privileged to do for your University, will prove the most enduring. So live, there- fore, that when your college course is ended, you may justly think of what you have done for Columbia as well as of what Columbia has done for you. So live that when you stand Where we of 1908 now stand, you Will have no regrets. So live that when you are called to enter the Held of world-activity, you may respond With a strong mind, a clean heart, a pure soul, a noble purpose, hallowed by an undying love for your Alma Mater. Cherish these ideals in your hearts, manifest them in your lives, and we as Alumniwill be proud of you. Fellow-classmates--As we turn from college days now past and vainly endeavor to see into the days that are to come, shall We not resolve to be, above everything else, men? Columbia has helped us in countless ways, but most of all she has helped us toward manhood. Rousseau once said: In the natural order of things, all men being equal, their common voca- tion is manhood, and whoever is well-trained for that cannot fulfill badly any position which demands manhood? We have VALEDICTORY ADDRESS been Well-trained. Now, as never before, we realize the debt of gratitude which we owe our beloved Dean and the Professors, who have guided us during these formative years and have ex- erted upon us such a lasting influence for good. We have caught glimpses of that which is noblest in life, and, it is hoped, have resolved to make our supreme moments more constant. The Class of 1908 is about to join that larger class of Columbia men in the great University of Life. Let us not forget that a college is known more by the character of her graduates than by the activity of her undergraduates. As Alumni shall we not uphold more loyally than ever the standards of Columbia, and remain forever true to her name? During these closing days of our college career, let us overcome any prejudices or differences we may have, and all be welded together in one great love for Alma lvlaterf Then in future years, as We are privileged to meet at reunions, We can with more sincere enthusiasm call to mind these days which will ever remain the happiest of our lives. It must be recognized that a college man has a personality, an individuality, a prestige of his own, and that as Columbia grad- uates we immediately rise in the Worldas estimation. For this very reason we should realize the great responsibilities which have been laid upon us, and not permit our abilities to be ren- dered ineffectual by an overmastering consciousness of our own importance. Much need is there to be thankful, rather than egotistic. Perhaps the most valuable lesson we have learned in college is: that our real education has just begun. Our capacity to deal with practical situations has not yet been adequately tested. Necessarily much of our study has been theoretical in its nature, and at times may have tended to lead us away from a sympathetic appreciation of the problems in human life. We should at once bring ourselves into more vital contact with the actualities of life, by putting into practice the theories which VALEDICTORY ADDRESS constitute so large a part of our mental equipment. Let us use our education not to climb over others, but to help them to climb. In the Words of Huxley, let us determine to do the thing We ought to do, when it ought to be done, Whether We want to do it or not. Such an earnest spirit of service would still the disquietude in many hearts, and Would do much to in- culcate an unwavering devotion to the highest principles of humanity, and this after all is the message We need most. And so, fellow-classmates, as we say farewell, let us resolve to be loyal Alumni, patriotic citizens, and true men. FRED. HALIILTON RINDGE, Jn. IVY ORATION F ellow-classmates and Friends : In accordance with immemorial academic custom, we are gath- ered here this afternoon to plant the ivy of the Class of 1908 and to dedicate it to the memory of our undergraduate life. Around this vine, which We leave here as a memorial of our class, clusters all the wealth of sacred tradition. It is a mute record of our student life at Morningside-a record possessing the deepest significance for us. It represents the care-free happy days which have passed away-days to be of fondest memories, memories of work well done, of earnest desires consummated, of precious enduring friendships formed. These past four years have been the formative period of our lives-the period when we have been molded to approximate Co- lumbia's ideal of what a college-bred man should be. To others, however, who are destined to follow us, 1908 will be but a figure to express a certain period in the academic cycle. Only a few memories of our presence and of our achievements Will linger after our departure. Our names, it is true, Will be inscribed upon the rolls of the university, but in the active ever-changing life of the class-room and campus our influence Will soon be but little felt. Itiis, therefore, with the idea of preserving some concrete evidence of our career at Columbia, some memorial of our student life within her halls, that We plant this ivy. And now, fellow-classmates, let us for a moment turn aside from these precious memories of days past and devote our at- tention to the life before us. We are pausing to-day upon the threshold of a new career. Behind us is the record of work well done, of disappointments suffered, of triumphs won, of lofty ideals realizedg before us is the uncertainty of the future. The period of our undergraduate life is passed, never must pass the period of our fervent loyalty to Columbia and to the princi- ples which she teaches. In the days to come, let us ever remem- ber that the obligations of the future are just as binding, just
