lEr. 9L1 tA 0L9E SING a song of an architect and build- ings lifted high. In fact, there are times when we are convinced that there is nothing for us in the world of large affairs but to raise our voices lustily to those Who tower, god-like, above us. How very sad, then, if in the clutches of a youthful skepticism, we should decide that even the art of singing praises is a futile one. How very sad indeed if .such an end were possible. But there is little joy in the contemplation of any great sorrow unless the sorrow is somewhat im- minent. This, then, is the case we state against himethe man whom the world knows as Dr. Wil- liam Wesley Guth, the gentleman, the scholar, the college president. When we are convinced that we, the college, are not the objects of his utter generosity of mind and spirit; when we feel the first rancor of doubt that the symbol 4-2-1 has not been burned into our hearts by the genuine radiance of a reflection from his own; in short, when we are unable to see the immortality of the builder in the citadel he has fashioned; then only will we cease to salute him in the manner of our custom. The world, in all pro- priety, may address him with explicit titular dignity; to us is reserved the impudence of true sincerity. HFather William,1 is of that elastic variety of titles whose inelegance, in case there be any to judge so superncially, is set in a mellow background of intrinsic understanding. Last year there was an appalling length of time When our dependence upon him was fully understood. When the household on the corner was sombered by attending nurses and doctors, Dr. Guthls speedy recovery was the first hope of the college. So from day to day in chapel we learned the varying course of his illness. When the reports of convalescence were finally verified by his reappearance in Goucher Hall one day, our assurance grew. How much the final recovery is due to the atmosphere of the farm in Maine we cannot say, but this of which we are certain is suilicient: that the glowing message which marked his official return last fall was no more memorable in the history of the college than in the personal experience of us all.
