Salutatnrg dtlress. BY THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES, MORGAN EDGAR, N. Y. In years to come, when looking back over our College life, the memories of Class Day will always be among our most pleasant recollections. Success is ever attractive, and this day celebrates our suc- cess after a fouryears' endeavor. But, now that the goal is Won, We realize how enjoyable has been the race, how hard will be the separation from our companions. We have all made Warm friends at Princeton, and the more We have learned to appreciate each other the harder is the parting. And, since now our time together is so short, our com- mon life almost a thing of the past, we fully estimate the value of the years spent at Old Nassau, Which, like bless- ings, brighten as they take their flight. The future is uncertain, but Whatever it may have in store tbr us, We shall always feel that many of our happiest mo- ments have been passed here. No Wonder, then,.that the eye grows dim while looking over the familiar scenes We are so soon to leave, and that the hand trembles when greet- ing those to Whom We must in a short time say farewell. The present at least is our own, let us not permit it to be saddened by anticipations of the future. To-day We will look only on the bright side of the pic- ture, to-day We will forget our approaching separation and strive to make our last hours together as pleasant as possi- ble.

6 TIIE NASSAU HERALD. To you, dear friends, Without Whose ,presence our Class Day would be incomplete, we extend a hearty Welcome. To you We look for sympathy and encouragement in these the last scenes of our College course, and for you We hope the day will be one of uninterrupted pleasure. Our occupation here has been essentially one of prepara- tion, and the time has novv come for this preparation to be put to the test. We all have sins of omission to repent, and many feel that they might have reaped greater profit from their op- portunities, but noneof us will ever regret the training We have here received. Faithful perseverance and earnest work are factors which help largely to form the basis of all success. These qualities We have been trying to acquire, and Whatever they can accomplish, this the Class of '82 hopes to achieve, and 'where they are needed, there to per- form their work. i ' Again, in the name of the graduating class, I Welcome you to the exercises of our Glass Day.
