FRANCIS PENDLETON GAINES A.B., A.M., Ph.D., Litt.D., LL.D. PRESIDENT yj HE senior becomes the alumnus and finds that with un anticipated emphasis he forgets much and remembers much. Tides of jubilation that surged high about some momentary triumph grow quiescent in long level waters of reality; outlines of ancient tasks, even worthy tasks, are dim in deepening age. But remembrance abides with strange selectivity. The mood of an instant ' s joyful comradeship, a sudden startling vista of campus loveliness, the recollection of honorable obligations so fulfilled that it carved something on the tablets of self-respect, these persist or at least recur. George Eliot said that finest memory is finest hope. There is peculiar forward-propulsion, pe- culiar inspiration, in the recollection of richness or nobility long gone. I pray that you carry with you this large estate, this treasure inviolate, a fineness of college memory. Francis Pendleton Gaines. WASHINGTON AND LEE
