never forget that monrnt'nl day when death en- lereml our ranks :incl bore away our esteemed class- mate. Vliarles W. C'an:ula. lVe bade him farewell in grief' anal sadness. although conscious that we were giving him np to a brighter world and a more complete life. Surely the very noontide ot' our darkness came when llr. 'l'hilly announced that at the end of this year his work at the University of' Missouri would close. 'l'o give np such a power among powers, '-lr sneh a scholar among seholarsg a man great in wis- mlom. great in goodness. great in all that becomes :i man. seemed more than ISJHL eould stand. He goes to make lovely other lives than those of Mis- som'i's sons :incl daughters: to brighten other halls with his gentle voice and radiant smile, his words ot' knowledge and his aets of grace, but our hearts go with him. l-'or tour years we have been gathering the ma- terials necessary for the building of Life's temple. We go forth now to lay the stones, to shape the walls, and we trust to fit them together so firmly that no man can put them asunder. If we succeed in our structure it will be due largely to a strength inherent in the principles taught us by our pro- fessors. If we touch the future with creative and not destructive hands we shall owe it, in no small measure, to the noble men and women of the Uni- versity of Missouri, whose services have been in- valuable in deepening the truths we have learned. May we prove that their long and blameless toil has not been in vain. The contribution of the University of Missouri to our happiness has been of the rarest kind. The class of 19041 will make loyalty to her its Watch- word. Regard for her is woven into the very fab- ric of our lives. The sacredness of her memory we will carry with us forever.

N a few days our University career will have passed into memory. Tl1e goal we have been seeking together will have been reached, the farewells said, and we shall be scattered afar. Before we go we do not propose to record a long and luminous history, but simply to lay before you a few things that fioat in our minds upon this, our leave-taking. Far be it from us to make a display of our laurelsg to speak the story of our victoriesg to relate how our battles were fought and wong to hold up to view the shields that are yet ours. The history of our deeds of prowess in under-classmen days, adorn the pages of preceding Savitarsg our Senior triumphs are not for public recital. They are sweet to us but the ears of the laity shall hear them not. Silent as we may he in regard to our victories we can not refrain from a word concerning our- selves. May it not be deemed immodest in us to say that we believe we have among us men of heroic mould and women of no less worthy type. Our struggles for right principles and our Cll- deavors to hold fast to what seemed good attest this fact. VVhile we have not done such noble deeds as transcend those of all other classes, neither have we trod the primrose path of dalli- anceg the Goddess of Ease may have wooed but she has never won us. A halo may never shine around our heads making us examples of Missouri's genius, yet we hope that we have rightfully earned from the past some claim to gratitude and that we may hold in the future the respect of the Seniors who come after us. Our apprenticeship i11 the University has not been hard. Sunshine has fallen in generous plen- teousness upon our days. Most of our hours have been spent in joy, in youth and gladness. Yet we have been visited by sorrow and pain. lve can
