r- - r; » To ' l cc ihQueteen Tzventy-Three JOL ' R YEARS AGO — hdw long the - seemed in prospect, hnw brief they are in retrospect! — we had great pleasure, at the autumn assembly ot 1919, in receiving you as students of Rice. 1 oday, on the occasion ot our eighth annual Commencement, your commencement, we have equal priiic in recognizing you as graduates of ' Rice. .As a class, you are sitting together for the last time. When you rise from this meeting you break physical rank, but the spiritual bond that binds you to us, and Rice to you, is a bomi that can never he broken. .And the consciousness of this inalterable fact is to those of us who remain behind the most precious of spiritual possessions. To my mind it is singularly appropriate that the last words you carry away with you in imperishable memory from this temple of truth, of whose invisible spirit you yourselves are the visible presence, should have fallen from the lips yesterday of a professor of philosophy, preaching a religion of hope, and have been borne on the voice of today of a professor of science, pro- claiming consonant obiectives for faith in human progress. And I pray that the liberating influences of philosophy and of science and of religion may attend you always on all your ways of service to state, or church, or university, on which we now confidently send you forth under the Homeric rubric of Rice: To win renown; To sta)id the first in worth as in command: To add new Jionors to your native land: Before your exes your mi lity sires to place, And emulate the glories of our race.
