1 KNOX COLLEGE Hurd Comstock Churchzll Szmonds It would probably appeal to Dr Snnonds l1vely sense of humor to be told that the stu dents at Ixnox to day are pretty prone to thmk of h1m lll the same category w1th Prof Hurd and Prof Comstock and the other warm hearted and fa1tl1ful laborers who have de voted the1r fullest energy to know IH the past When they hear of the reverence w1th vvh1ch students of other days regarded Prof Bite man for mstance Dr Snnonds would prob ably be offended 1t he knew that the hurr1ed thoug,htless students of to day who are very non sentnnental and very very modern feel for lnm that warm old fash1oned reverence VVll1Cl1 we SOITICUIHCS suppose to be la1cl away among the nngnonettes vv1th LLIITSICS and DR VVM E SIMONDS povx dered llall He would be offended because he conslders h1n1self a young man an up to date man an every Clay mttter of fact man a very busmess l1ke fellow and so he 15 Lut he 15 a creat deal more than that and whether he l1kes It or not he 1nust take h1s place vv1tl1 those other sturdv n1en who vv1ll ever remam hxgh IU our hearts and who vv1ll ever be honored w1th an old fash1oned love for thelr l1ves of beauty and strength can g1V6 them 1S that wh1ch speaks of the 21l:fE'Lt1OIl the students felt for then 111 the rush and struggle of every day l1fe lt 1S 111 the wear md tear of the tollebe routme that a man s true cal1bre 1s shown lt IS only the man of rare sympathy rare po1se who cons1stently and naturally possesses all the conndence all the respect of those w1th whom he comes 111 contact But Dr Snnonds IS o11e of those rare 1nd1v1duals He has done much to g1ve Ixnox a n'tt1onal s1gn1htance He IS tl1e author of a nu1nber of textbooks on Enghsh Llterature and also he has ed1ted several of the EIlgllSl1 class1cs for class room use I-le 1S I'CCOgIl1Z6Cl as an 3.Lltl'lO1'1ty 1n h1s chosen field The 11nportance that IS attached to h1s name 1n 1'121t1OIl1l acadennc clrcles IS grat1fy1ng to us we are proud of It but thxs IS not wl1at makes us want to call hllil Bllly' We gxve l'1lUl our conhdence and estee1n because of the l1ttle every day thmgs that brlng hlm as professor very close to us as students We are lookmg towards the past and paylng our tr1bute to tl1e 1ne11 and women who have been fa1tl1ful to every dlfficult task 1n those bygone days who compel our respect for llllell' loyalty to Knox for the1r care of the l1v es they were shaplng But we cannot forget that we have a 111811 who 1S respected as much as Dlr Gulllver esteemed as much as Prof Hurd as fa1thful to Knox as Prof Churclull and who has a l1fe of 3Cl'llCV6ITl6Ht before l'l1ITl None l1ke them on earth PROF VVELLS AND LA1Rn . .

THE GALE nounced with every twelve-month. The spirit of the old Triumvirate lives as truly and vitally in Knox's faculty of to-day. ln these rambling reminiscences l have tried to indicate the blessedness of the man whose lot is cast in association and fellowship with men so good and so great as have had charge of the destinies of our heloved college. l have a lively sense of the inadequacy of the attempt, hut l should equally fail if I should try to express my appreciation of her present hody of teachers. All the gifts of the older teachers of Knox, suitahly trained for the modern requirements of education. these men emhody, and also in equal degree a consecra- tion of themselves to the welfare of the young people who seek here the realization of their highest ideals, This is the least that l can say, as it is the last. to com- mend them to the contidence of the graduates and friends of Knox College. lxx AX Yu-,ni Hoon l'iRIl'.NlI or 'pox SINIHNIIN. whim nillifl in :nt tht- looi hall I1 nqiicl, liL':xlly, this is :in um-vpecle-I Sll1'1!l'lSC.u
