C1 Dear Sir:-ln answer to your letter, I enclose herein my report, delivered before the Class of lt' io, at its Reunion and llanc net, held in the College llome , J of Erskine College, on the evening of nne 2nd, If zo. tw ZS - MR. PRliSIl'JlCN'1' .wo nv Ci,lxSsri.vri5s : Some time ago I was asked by the l'resident of our class to looli into the history of each member since onr graduation, and to report the same to yon here tonight. Wie have had some difhcnlty in obtaining material for this on acconnt of the extreme modesty of the members in regard to giving information about themselves. lint l see every member of the class gathered aronnd this board tonight-a happy throng-and if l have made any mistakes, or omitted any important considerations, I implore instant correction. Ten years have passed since we were members of the Senior Class of flrslqine College, firm believers in the strength of nnity, onr hearts bonnd together in the sacred realms of college friendship by hoops of steel. XYe were justly prond of onr fflllizct ilftlfCl', of onr stndent-body, of onr class. Four years had we labored together, bnt the time for the parting of onr ways was at hand. Indeed. we were grieved, and felt many a pang of sorrow at leaving Erskine and Une Xtest. lint after receiving onr diplomas we bade each other a tender farewell, and went onr ways, to fight onr struggles bravely, bnt never to forget onr college days, with their associations, loves and memories. Classmates, tonight is the first time we have all gathered together since that day. Some of ns have been near other members of onr class, bnt many of ns have been far away. l find that each member of the class of nineteen lnmdred and ten is still trne, each doing his work well. l find no presidents of the l'nited States, no senators, no ambassadors, no snpreme jndges, no cabinet members. no snccessors to bl. lj. Morgan, thongh these places conld well be filled by mem- bers of onr class. Recognizing that the best and noblest worlc lies not in the Seats of the Mighty, bnt in noble service, wherever it may be, and that man can also minister in any division of life's worlc, onr classmates are doing well what they attempt. Loved and honored by all with whom they gn-Q grssogigrtetl, each one is a benefit to the world in which he strives. To be trne is, indeed, an ambition, and a trne man is God's ideal of perfection. tlnr classmates are trne to the ideals, the teachings, the examples set before them while in lfrslqine Col- lege. XYhile all of ns may not have fonnd practical nse for the theories of Astronomy, Psychology or Geology, yet we remember the trnths tangln ns through the efforts of onr instrnctors. 33 ,-+,' ,...... - . --.-- -M-
