and there are no electives nor required subjects, but in a much more subtle and ingenious manner the faculty are subjected to a constantly increasing reconstruction of experience. Youth's I'f1E:tIll1C1'S, youth's dress, youth's language, youth's beliefs, youth,s ideals are continually undermining those established and comfortable con- victions of the right and proper ways of life to which age has attained. Separation from these settled beliefs is a slow and painful process in which youth, the teacher, must 'exercise patience. For instance, those kaleidoscopic changes in manner of dress which require of youth merely physical adaptation, demand of age mental adjustments which must be made much more slowly. The education of a faculty is a much longer process than that of a student. The student mind is virgin soil upon which no seeds have hitherto been sown, but the faculty mind has already grown its crop and, as in the case of intensive cultivation, the former must be removed before a second may be sown. As a member of the Randolph-Macon College faculty, I entered upon my real education. It was here, in contact with a living people whose heritage of ideals and character is of the best in the world, that I began to know and appreciate the good things of life. Southern people are born to a culture utterly different from that acquired in our ordinary institutions of learning. It is the result not only of a good biologic inheritance, but of the somewhat unhurried life which they have lived for generations-a life in which the business of getting on, gathering gear, as Stevenson puts it, has been subordinated to the more humanistic matter of living. It is a life in which the cultural products are innate and form an atmosphere of refinement, a background of manners, against which the training of a college like Randolph-Macon creates a fine type of modern womanhood. To you, students of Randolph-Macon, my teachers,'l offer the tribute of honest appreciation. The things which you have are not purchasahle with money, but in this very material world they must be marked '6Perishable.,' Enshrine them in your hearts, let no one deceive you as to their valueg and may the heritage of your children and your children,s children be that of an antiquity of learning, the old South plus a Randolph-Macon training. Loyalty to you is a blessing, not a sacrifice, because loyalty to you is loyalty to the best. And so l would commit to your care all friends of mine who 'would know what a real education is. .ia
