Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-06-14

the guiding principles which influence
ed them in founding the college and
which shaped It's early character. They
were modest men and they worked in Il
modest manner, but an earnest one.
They worked for their time and ours,
and for all the future In all her COM
ing years, whatever her growth, what
ever her broadenin' work, Marietta
College, | believe. never will get very
far away from the ideals of the men
who participated in the organization
These founders had With them on the
board of trustees In the work of after
years other n:n of the highest Capac-
ity, devoted to the interests of educa-
zion and of the institution, representa-
tive citizens of this community and the
country, and all these have had worthy
successors. Today and always we will
remember the names Of the Putnams,
of Mills, of Nyes, Cutler, Bingham,
Hlldreth, Cotton, Emerson, Hitch
cock, Kingsbury and Shipman, and OF
that trustee elected i'm our time, who
has just passed away--Dr. Moore.
The faculties of Marietta have con-
tanned more than ordinarily capable
men, men fully competent to do the
work demanded by such an institution,
work of high character and onerous.
In the early faculties were men like
c. ~. IAWu ArrNN a
Ballard. The first three presidents,
Linsley, --nfth and Andrews, left their
lasting impression not only upon Ma
rietba, but upon every other institution
and upon every community with which
they came in contact. Especially are
the names of Smith and Andrews con-
ways than one. There are some names
in the faculty list which always come
back to us at Commencement time, are
always mentioned to be eulogized.
Who OF the students who knew them
would forget the honored names of
Kendriek Rosseter and Beach? If
our minds we do not forget the others,
do not forget that they were worthy
| fellows, worthy predecessors and ex-
ceIlent successors. There were giants
in those days" Maybe these latter
days also have their giants. The fac
ulBies of other days met the needs of
their times, exertlng the utmost bene-
ficient influence upon The students who
sat under their instruction. The fac
ulty of today undoubtedly has the
same influence in shaping the minds
and lives of today's students.
The work of Marietta, always of
| high grade, has been to fulfill what
President Butler, of Colby recently
wrote is the object of the college-the
development of manhood, By IT'S
fruits the work of a college is best
| known. Brothers, l do not care ia
make you think better of yourselves
than you do now; but l believe | am
JUSTIFIED in saying that in the charac-
ter and capacity of her alumni, Marlet-
ta is surpassed by no college.
Our institution, as rule, has pro-
duced we'll rounded men, men who
have developed the best manhood OF
America. We cannot boast of so
many distinguished sons as many 9TH
er institutions oil Marietta's class, but
none has produced better grade of
men.
