CumbeHand University I HE history of any country is made up of the biographies of its great men. This general proposition may very fittingly be applied to the life-story of the venerable Cumberland University. Her great men — founders, professors, trustees and loyal sons — have played no small part in the shaping of the destiny of the Republic. Heroes do not sink warships and carry the flag on gory battlefields ; heroes are not in senate chambers and presidents ' mansions. Heroes are men who do all these, or things as great as these, and receive not the honors, the recognition. Heroes are men who live lives of obscurity, perhaps, but nevertheless lives characterized by singleness of purpose, loyalty to truth and inflexible devotion to principle. Such men have made Cumber- land University ; and if you would know her history, read the biographies of Robert L. Caruthers, Nathan Green, Sr., Richard E. Beard, S. G. Burney and the noble company of faithful professors to-day laboring within her sacred walls. It is not easy to say too much in the praise of these lives of true heroism. But, as to the achievements of the institution, the sort of men sent from under her protecting wings out into the battle of life, — read their thousands of biographies. They have fought their way into the high places of the earth. No redoubts have been too strong for them to demolish. No heights have been too great for them to scale. They have captured the legislatures. They have ascended the tripod. They have taken possession of the temples of justice. They are in the front at the bar and high upon the bench. They are dispensing law from the highest tribunals of the land. They are from their places in Congress exposing the corruption of the money power, defending the people ' s rights from unjust taxation, and demanding genuine freedom for all wherever the star-spangled banner floats in the air. They have carried light and science to the dark places of the earth. They have attacked the strongholds of sin and put the devil himself to flight. They have carried the war into the enemy ' s country — into heathen lands — and have pulled down the black flag of Satan and in its stead raised aloft the blood-stained ' banner of the cross. Now and then a soldier falls, but, God be praised, another steps in, and the ranks are filled. And so it is ; though her heroes do fall and moulder in the ground, still old Cumberland, dear old Cumberland, grand old Cumberland, glorious old Cumberland, keeps marching on. Esto perpetua. Extract from an address by Ex-chancellor Nathan Green, delivered at his resignation of the chancellorship in 1900.
