ward her child, and it was his prayer that
the knowledge attained from studying at
this institution might always be used in the
cause of right. and acceptable in the sight
of God and man. He said the class had
been an exceedingly good one and that the
students had proved themselves a comfort
to their instructors, "for you are our joy
and our pride"

ing advice. In announcing the first honor
