and to him who has studied it in it's sue.
ccssivc movements the course Of history
presents very different aspect. TO the
one it is but the mere meaningless success
sion of separate events, to the ether it
reveals an inward life, an onward and &C
tive progression. Not all arc willing to
accept the idea OF progress. Some wholly
deny it, and, taking up history in detail, at
tempt to prove that humanity has made
little improvement since the classic days
Of Greece and Rome. Others acknowledge

is to precipitatc the race in final
ruin. Others doubt it. Those
arc influenced by their own peculiar
tastes and occupations. Undoubtedly
there has been progress. Can VIC say
that humanity has lived six thousand
years to no purpose? Compare our own
age with the most cultured of ancient
times and who can deny il? The idea
of progress has it's origin III the nature of
man. As al individual he is capable of
indefinite improvement. lle is likewise
social being, communicating the influence
of his own individual life through the
family, the state and nation to tho human
family ut large, and it is only the law of
progress that will amel;Orate his condition
and create an unseliish brotherhood to en-
noble himself and glor:iy his Creator.
The time has come for the class OF
eighty. two to take it's final leave. 1t has
become my painful duty to say the
words of parting and bid farewell to
scenes and associations that have become
endcared to us. The ties that bind us
to our Alma Mater are strong indeed and
seem to grow still stronger. How many
friendships made, attachments formed,
hours of pleasure and study spent, that
We can never forget In taking our dc
parture from the board of trustees we feel
called upon to express to them our grateful
thanks for the peculiar privileges and
opportunities enjoyed at their hands.
Long may our institution, under
the supervision of the board, con
tinuc in it's present course, and long live
to educate Alright the mind and heart of
generous and aspiring youth. Mr.. Prcsi-
dent, gentleman of the faculty, our hon
Ored and beloved instructors, how shall
VIC separate ourselves from you? How
express the pains of separation? Your
kind, untiring efforts in our behalf, and
tho intimate relation in which VIC have
so long been placed rs teachers and pupils
have bound us to you with tender alice
tion and esteem. BE assured that We
clrry with us the many lessons of knOwl
edge and virtue which you have so earn
estly labOrcd to impress upon us, and
that, though separated from you, yOur
many acts of kindnes and love will ever
be held foremost in grateful remem-
brance. To the citizens Of Lancaster the
orator had warm words of farewell, and
spoke of the cordial welcome with which
he and his fellow graduates had been re-
