Dear Old College Days IKE music of some half-forgotten song Heard in a happy, happy long ago, ' Whose melody has lingered liquid, low — Whose sweetness with the long years grows more strong Like some rare painting ' s glorious gleaming glow. On which the long years ' lights and shadows throng, To which the tints and tones of age belong — Where Time ' s weird witchery bids beauty blow And bloom in mellow richness every year ; Like fragrant flavor of age-ripened wine. In cobwebbed cask stored in some cellar ' s hold — So do the years with happy memories twine Our college days, and when we ' re growing old In Memory ' s heart of hearts they grow more dear.

It is hard to leave this beautiful Valie ' . this salubrious and dehghttul climate, these interesting and ex- cellent Scotch-Irish people, this facult ' of scholarly gentlemen, this delicious work in Philosoph % and, above all, these splendid young men, the elite ot the land, ' ever again in this world will he find such a congenial en ironment. He makes this sac-o- rifice and turns his back on all these privileges because he is convinced that his work here is ended, and that some other man, more skilled, should rake his place and guide these imperial young minds to the throne oi truth. His work in the world, however, ma ' not ' et be over. He has no desire to fold his hands in ease, but hopes to find in the use ot his pen for the press, and of his voice in the pulpit and on the platform, that there is still for him a field of active usefulness. To Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the munificent philanthropist, who makes his hon- orable retirement possible, he gives his sincere thanks. To the people of the town and county, whom he has learned to love, he would express his appreciation ot their patience with his failings and of their repeated kindnesses. To the President and I-acultv, he would sa ' — Ever bear in mind that vou are photographing impressions upon the sensitive minds sitting at our teet. To our boys, our beloved boys, our noble boys, worthy sons of worthy sires, he would give a father ' s blessing, and for them would offer a father ' s prayer for their clear vision of truth, their high concep- tion ot dut -, their full realization of usefulness. The gladiators, in view of the probable issue of their combat, cried to the spec- tators, Nos morituii salutamus. The retiring professor, a septuagenarian, as he surve s the future and considers its probabilities with calm, penitent, trusting confidence in the Savior of sinners, voices his Vale to ' ou young men, Ego victurus saliiio; I, who am about to live, salute ' ou.
