may In- in its oxcrcisc. no one ran say of a rnivoisity of Texas man that lie is aiiglit hut loyal. The one thiiiK needed is some organized effort to pive i)oint and emphasis to this loyalty. With ten thousand alumni and ex-students jealous of its jrood name, alert and watehfnl of its interests, courajreous in the administration of its affairs, the Tniversity of Texas could iiev ' r jirove un- worthy of the heritable of the uohle men who made its exi.stenc-e po.ssible. Let not the unthinkiufr critie aeeu.se us of deiKirtiiifi from our text, or eliarne to us a coniplaininfc spirit in this plea for orftanized student effort to hrinji about bu.siness methods in the administration of their affairs. The seojie and o])])ortunity of sueh an oriianization has been meicly hinte l at. The good to be aeeomi)lislied no proi)liet may foresee. We have an abidin-i faith that this action and all others that i)oint to the fjlory of their University will be taken by the student body, who year by year are weldtnl more elo.sely together by the ties of muiual asscjciation auil a coumion love. We are all Te.xans . as our Pre.sident is fond of sayin-!;. Hut we arc uKire. We are . meneans. citizensof the cultured world. Neither our vices nor our virtues have any distinctive peculiarity. Like o .d Shylock we have hands, organs, senses, affections, i;assions; we are fed i)y the same food. hurt with the .same weajxins, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed by the same winter and summer as other Christians arc. If you jirick us, we bleed : if you tickle us, we laugh; if you poi.son us, we die; if you wrong us, we shall have our revenge. But unlike Shylock, our inheritance and environment have cut our wisdt)w-tceth; we have learned the roijes. and given off hankering after the moon. We are dominated, let us hope, by a sweet reasonableness that teaches forbearance, moderation, jjrudence. In ;ui iiffectionate loyalty for our Alma Mater, we are all willing to stand and fight together, .saying wiili l:u .Muurier. with a little tinge of sadness, it may be, that our lives, Hke all others, are but A little work, a little play To keep us going — and so guod-(la ! A little warmth, a little light Of love ' s bestowing — and so, good-night! A little fun to match the sorrow Of each day ' s growing — and so good-morrow! A little trust that when we die We reap oiu ' sowing! . iiil so, gcjod-live! I ( i
