BEMROSE, ’02 THE ALUMNI AND ITS DUTY. COMMENCEMENT time recalls to the memory of nearly every Alumnus the day when he with trembling hands, shaking knees and a quivering voice, stood before the foot-lights of our local opera house and delivered with a tone of eloquence, which was remarkable in many respects, that severely criticised and much despised mass of English language known as a graduating thesis. This occasion will also recall many other reminiscences which stand out clearly in the memory of every Alumnus. But have we as members of the Alumni, in the hurry and bustle of modern life, thought of, or if thought of, have we forgotten the fact that we owe to our Alma Mater and her faculty a duty not only for the many enjoyable occasions which they have permitted us, but for the other valuable services rendered to us in the past. Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “ The life of a citizen belongs to his country.” This statement was made by a man whose sincerity for the cause for which he was contending was somewhat doubted, but that statement is true. And as we owe our country a duty for the advantages we have received from it, so in a like respect are we under obligations to our Alma Mater for the benefits we have derived through the industry and ambition of her noble corps of instructors. It is an obligation which we can never meet for it is a service which has a value far beyond computation. And, although we can never fully compensate them for this service, we should at least attempt to reward them for their valuable aid, and indicate to them our appreciation for their services by building up an Alumni on which our former instructors can look back and say with pride ‘ ‘ these are our sons and daughters; judge of our work by their success.” j. k.
