Our Alumni By T. W. Reed. The greatest service a parent can perform lies in the training of the child in such manner that through his life the advance of civilization may be made more certain, more rapid, more satisfactory. The child, so trained, falls far short of his duty and his privileges, if. after the years of manhood have arrived, he fails to render loving homage to that parent in word and deed and spirit. The greatest service a University can render to the state and to civilization is the preparation of her sons for the great battles of life, the training of their minds, the broadening of their views, the disciplining of their wills, the elevating of their ideals, the ennobling of their ambitions, the rounding out of their characters. The graduate falls far short of his duty and his privileges, if. after having received these benefits, he forgets the hand that guided him and the spirit that inspired him and the service that equipped him for his life-work, and fails to repay in active and grateful service the generous and effective assistance rendered him in his days of struggle. Measured by this standard the University of Georgia boasts a record of service that is full of glory, and her sons, in recognition of that service, have measured up and still are measuring up to their full duty of filial affection. In the pulpit, at the bar. at the bedside of the sick, in the school-room and in college halls, in the legislative assemblies of state and nation, in the great business marts, in the fertile fields, at home and abroad, in every sphere of life they have illustrated the strength and virtue, the culture and refinement, the determination and progress, the patriotism and unselfishness, the devotion to duty and fidelity to truth and honor for which their Alma Mater has ever stood. One may very largely call the roll of Georgia's illustrious sons from the alumni register of the University of Georgia, and closer investigation would reveal hundreds, yea thousands, who. though not enveloped in the limelight of public notice, have nevertheless in their less conspicuous fields of labor returned to the state and to humanity, in successful and unselfish service, full and ample payment for all they received in the years of study and training in the halls of the University. In lofty and noble living, in faithful and unselfish service to state and country, in adding to the best that is in civilization, in efforts to uplift humanity, in the struggle to make the world better, in the achievements so splendidly made in every honorable field of human endeavor, the alumni of the University have rendered their Alma Mater the greatest service possible for them to have performed.
