to work i'll rather than well and no, aftor
couple of decades, was abandoned and the
corporation empowered again to exercise
their own judgment in selecting the best
mon for their own successors.
Is it not well for the alumni to-day to re-
mind them of this fact and In addition to
citing the history OF all the past point
Them to the fact that our university owes
her fame and btanding with sister universe
tie sthroughout the world not to their excel
lences thegovernors the senators, the judges,
lawyers and successful business men that
have been in her board of government,
though these have all been honorable
men, but to the men of priestly and
prophetic names as well as character.
These, now as we'll as in the past,
are they to whom the commission 10 given
ito teach, - and to govern in order to teach.
A Witherspoon or McCosh at Princeton, a
Dwight or Woolsay at Yale, or Hopkins at
Williams Marsh and Torrey at Bur
