each man owed to his society, binding

by explaining that goat was derived

other green things. He went on to say
that he had enjoyed his association
with his brethren in college more than
any other utilization in life. He had
spent so many happy days in college
that they would always remain a ten

renewing those old ties and friendships
was one which he hoped to see repeat
