 may we'll ask, now that your course is fnish- ed, what you have gained. You have been here three years, some pursuing one line of study, some another. Our lives are depend ent on many things. You may be sure, as you look back over your life, that there has been gain not only in what you have learned bat also in what you have thought. Cherished friendships associations have marked the days of your college life. They are in many cases the influences which might mold 8 life. You have gained much in the wider possi- bilities opened before you. We are individ- uals alike in one sense, the innermest part of life, the habits and breeding of the mind. We should give thanks to the university, which has inspired us with its tone and man. ly spirit. The university rightly deserves the kindly memory of all here.
