ton of his duty and divine sense OF
his responsibilities, he put aside hon
ors to take up his duty. This is an
act that fills our minds with trust
and turns our hearts in confidence to
him as the executor of his own noble
conceptions.
"When God gives a man the en-
thusiasln of great purpose and places
him in a position where he may hep
on the realization of this purpose,
this in itself constitutes divine call"
So he answered.
Filled with the enthusiasm Of this
great purpose he felt that he was in
position as the executive head OF the
University of the South to help on
the realization of this purpose, and
conceiving this to be his duty he re-
mains to discharge 1t.
His moral grandeur and force, his
clear-vision of duty, his singleness OF
purpose will have an exalted influ-
ence upon the thousands OF young
men that year after year will come
under his direction.
What an example is this to 0ul
people! He rises like n lighthouse
above the surging pillows of selfisl
ambition and the dangerous rocks o
sordid glory and lights for the Soutt
the way to true glory and power.
This is what the South needs. /
needs men who will consecrate thei
lives, devote their hearts and coneen
trate their souls to the uplifting o
our people; men who can tower abOv
their surroundings and impress thei
lofty characters upon our history.
Let his example be initiated. LIE
his good works be emulated; 81
that when the future historian come
to write the history of our people, GU
glory will not rest alone upon ma
terial prosperity, but rather upon on
moral worth and intellectual great
ness; upon the lofty character of on
! people, and upon the glory of M
I and women whose achievements haN
( enriched and adorned our literatnr
D and life with all the refinement an
elegance required in the higher civil
2 iZatiOn of o great people.
