if . 2 4:45-:saws-xszrifssitsg1:: 1Brzxp's Zgnns Suuhaits Ruskin says, ln general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes. All the other passions do occasional good, bitt wherever pride puts in its word, everything goes wrong. and what it might be desirable to do quietly and innocently, it is morally dangerous to do proudly. Notwithstanding the wholesome sentiment expressed in these words of Ruskin, l, believe there is a justifiable pride, and that the junior Class publishing this volume may safely cherish that feeling when it recounts its victories and special achievements. If the pace set during the Freshman and Sophomore years be kept up throughout the Junior and Senior years, this class may well be designated as an Epochal Class in the history of the University. 1 am sure that these words of appreciation from me will be rightly understood by the class. l believe in a humility of spirit that is not opposed to riglzivoiis pride. The further we pur- sue our investigations and search after truth during the daily routine of college life, the more we are convinced that every rightly con- stituted mind ought to rejoice, not so much in the facts actually discovered, as in the consciousness that there is infinitely more which it cannot know. XfVe may always know more if we will, by working on 3' but the real enjoyment comes through knowing that the journey is endless, and the treasures inexhaustible. Regard, therefore, your college days as a time of preparation for the greater and vastly more important discoveries possible for you to make in the wide world that begins where the college cur- riculum ends. .Possess the truest courage, born of deep and noble conviction, a courage that, on finding a principle, plants both feet down by it and says, l will stand here through all things, no matter what it may cost me. GEORGE FINLEY HOVARD.
