When our parents placed us under the tute- lage of our dear Faculty, they had no fears. Indeed they had only hope-that we would con- sistently be good ground receiving the seeds of wisdom, and of immortality, sowed with love and understanding. Trained efiiciently in their respective fields, consecrated husbandmen of souls and minds, they have been an inspiration and shall remain so until, at the final harvest they shall have their reward: to be witnesses of our being separated from the chaff and gathered into His barns.
