strated to us through many pleasant hours numerous experi- ments. Lastly come our Junior and Senior years, under Rev. Justin J. Ooghe and Rev. Timothy Brosnahan, years of philo- sophic thought and reflection. Like a ship sailing the world of knowledge we have navi- gated many oceans and seas on its broad expanse. Latin and Greek may be designated as the longest oceans. Only time and study will show accomplishment on their course. For six years we were rocked on the billows of Latin and Greek gram- mar and fought the persistent winds of strange expressions. Investigating the currents known as the authors was our prin- cipal occupation. Some rushed precipitatedly with heated animosity : these were the orators ; others were slow, calcu- lating and decided ; these were the historians. Pursuing our way we had to pass through the seas of Ger- man and French. However, in point of beauty, thought and sublimity they are too comm.ercial to be attractive. Still they lend a variety to the scene making the course complete, as one wishes to find out everything when on such an intellectual journey. But above all the most intricate, the most subtle and the most dangerous are the rapids of philosophy. For two years you turn and are twisted on their maelstrom surface, tossed by storms of disbelief and uncertainty, driven one way and then another, today on the rocks of despair or the quick-sands of shallow thought, to-morrow steadily drifting with confidence inspired by truth. Thousands journey these rapids but strange to say each denies the other’s course. A chaos of directions has been given which leads no where. For to travel them the individual has to make the journey himself, see for himself and, what is most important, think for himself. In other words no one can be substituted. The sounds, gulfs and tributaries of this world of wisdom may be considered as chemistry, history and mathematics, where it takes analysis, precision and a nicety to course. Thus we have made our tour and have reached the haven, the goal of the class of 1915, true Bachelors of Art or able bodied seamen of the world of knowledge. (II)
