To Commissioner Harned In every epoch, aye in every age There comes upon the horizon a sage A man with power, and with insight. keen NVhose vision apprehcnds the vast unseen XVhose soul's his light. Such is thy wisdom, 111m most noble friend In whom simplicity and magnitude do blend Effusing justice, love for all mankind A countenance bespeaking thoughts sublime and calmest peace. Peace rests with thee because thy Sllll-CI'O'WDCd head Hus never bowed to sentiments that fed 011 selfish aims, and narrow petty schemes That 0nd in useless, wild delusivc dreams and bitterness. Thine is a dream of service, brotherhood, Homes blessed with well trained hopeful motherhood Strong, manly fathers, fol'wzu'd-iookingJ brave; XVho dares to face a Hercules to save a Worthy cause. Dreams cannot be our masters, if we mix Them full of spurring supplements that; fix Our latent and our crude untutored aims T0 concrete tangibilities that iiame with ideal grace. If such be thine, dream on, O noble sage! That Providence hath raised to bless this age God give us courage, XViSdOln and a will To follow where thou leadest us, until Thy dream comes true. tAdvcmced Emmession ClassJ
