It is specially gratifying too, to all those who can personally recall Judge Packer, that one boy whom he greatly admii ' ed and in whose welfare he was keenly interested is now the President of Lehigh, 1 have read of an old Roman wall in England whiidi has withstood the ravages of time for so many generations that the simple-minded peasantry of the neighborhood believe that it iuu,st have been reared by more than human hands. In building their own humbler structures they are said to lie very careful to bring a bit of the old wall so as to insui-e to their own work equal stability and permanence. And so, as each Lehigh man goes out from his Alma ; Iater. should he take with him something of the courage, energy, and determinatiou. something of the inspiration and examiJe, of its illustrious founder.
