TO THE CLASS OF I912 T was Bulwer Lytton who said at one time in the House of Commons: iilfl desired to leave to remote posterity some memorial ofexisting British civiliza- tion I would prefer, not our clocks, not our railways, not our public buildings, not even the Palace in which we hold our sittings. I would prefer a file of The Times? The book in which these words are written is a catalogue of organizations, faces and campus scenes, but not even the editors would claim for it the virtues of the London Times as the one memorial of civilization or even of college life. In our hearts lives a new appreciation of life, of each other and our alma mater because we have been associated together in the search for truth. Those who come after will measure our influence by what we do. To the class of I912 may I express the wish and give evidence of the confidence that is in me that they will always do as well as they know. FRANK L. MCVEY

TO FRANK L. McVEY: OW that Ive Ignolv thee Ive have found thee true, Noble-hearted, devoted, the most sincere Among us; for thou mak'st thy daily life, Far as we see it, of the same warp and woof As the fine soul within. And Ive are glad, And bring to thee this tribute with a faith That, as the new days and the new years bring New life and hope to each of us, no year, No day shall pass D'ilhout still binding us More closely comrades in the great world-worlf Of placing honor where there is mistrust, Of making service an unselfish thing, And each of us cup-bearer to his kind. -I9Il.
