E O jl [ E There is an old Roman maxim beginning “Expende Han- nibalem,” which, translated, reads: “Weigh Hannibal and see wherein he is greater than other men.” It was not, surely, in his physique, or in his riches, or the violence of his wars. History may dwell upon these, but men are not thus remem- bered for something that does not long endure. It was rather his great masterfulness and his ceaseless activity that has given rise to the comparison with a scale which many another man would fail to balance. Just so can it be said of Murphy, for out of unfavorable circumstances Murphy has risen above restraints to exhibit masterfulness; and this has been caused by the humanity flourishing within its walls. Murphy is the result of three component forces, each of which is a necessary co-function of the other two. The three together form the compact unit which today marks Murphy as outstanding among many as an establishment of learning. The three together find among themselves an inexhaustible source of richness and improvement. The first, in the pride accompanying construction; the second, in the good of fash- ioning minds; and the third, in the progress attending learn- ing. Thereby Murphy’s purpose is fulfilled. In the first of these forces, the administration, Murphy has indeed been favored. At the head of Murphy, guiding its course for the advantage of all, are leaders whose undoubted devotion to Murphy and education has brought about a deep respect in the minds of loyal Murphians and of a wide circle of associates. Their efforts have kept Murphy in the fore, bringing forward its standards and indiscriminately widening its interests. They more than adequately fill the need of leaders. Giving Murphy the advantage of their training, the sec- ond force, the faculty, is in no lesser degree furnished to di- rect Murphy. Connection with them is predominating simply because they form part of the subjects they teach. A promiscuous third force, containing almost every kind of talent, is the students. What they lack the other forces supply, and what they have is given with that which shows a promising posterity. They are coming more and more to real- ize the true significance of education and its advantages. It is youth at its best.

Clark, our principal, who during his thirteen years with us, has taken honors of which we should all be proud. A man as well known, and with qualities as fine as his, is certainly an asset to any school. Through his leadership, with the co- operation of the faculty, we are bound to progress each year. 20
