They took us four years ago, immature children, and entered us upon the course which they hoped might shape us into worthy men and women. They have nourished us- on the accumulated lore of the ages: they have instilled in us courage to meet every dimculty face to face, and they have implanted in us perseverance to drivesahead to the final goal. In after years, we shall look ,back upon these associations with sincere gratitude and appreciation, and our remembrance of them will be a challenge to us, ever to- do our best and to attain the greatest possible success.
