W. C. BAER, A. B. Principal The Faculty There are schools all about us which can boast of a more magnificent building than ours, of more extensive grounds, and of superiority in equipment, but what one can claim a nobler faculty? We hear of its worth on all sides. Those who come from other schools tell us of it. We who know no other faculties feel that ours is the best because it could not be better. I do not say that we all appreciate this. No, I regret that some do not. We pity them in their blindness; their dwarfed capacity calls forth our sympathy. We speak continually of friendship, of its sweetness, and of the solace it brings to the weary. Where can we find a friendship nobler than that given us by these men and women, a score and five, who compose our faculty? When we tell how they encouraged us in our gloom, how, by kindly word and unselfish action, they have helped us on our way; how they have in ever)' sense been a true friend, we have but half given them their due, though power to say more is denied us. Who will say that our journey of four years has not been more pleasant, our work appreciably lighter by their devotion to our welfare? rc hear each year regret expressed by those departing, that we must leave the “old school,” the “old assembly,” and many things besides which call up pleasant memories. But what about leaving the facultv? Most of us, I am sure, can say from our hearts, that long after the building has disappeared, when long years and bitter experience have separated us from today, within our memory still will linger the remembrance of the kindliness, the devotion, the loyalty of our splendid faculty.
