The dwelling Exercises.

AT Hampden-Siduey yesterday iu.
terestng exercises were held incident
to the presentation of the portrait of
the late Dr. j. NJ +. Atkinson,
former president Of the College
Dr. p. Winston presented the por-
trait, which was gracefully accept
ed by DR.. Mcllwaine, tbc\ preSht
honored president, amy Pr fNm.
NJ. Thornton, j the Uniyersis%f Vir-
ginia, deliverH le commemorative
ton said: II
| esteem it n high privilege, Mr..
President, ladies and gentlemen. to
have even an humble place in these
exercises.
1t Is but tardy justice to render this
homage to the memory Of your prede-
cessor, who for more than a quarter of
a century was on these hallowed
grounds, moulding character and shap-
ing men.
Good men and true, are indeed inn
mortal.
Character never dies. In other lives
men live, transmitting their virtues,
blessing and making better the tide Of
humanity.
The famous Dr. Arnold, of Rugby,
whose life fashioned after the same
high ideal was so closely paralleled by
our loved president, had for his great
aim to be just and honest and true.
He lives today in men having higher
motives and more consecrated efforts.
For more than two score years that
calm, benignant face has been recalled
with inspiration to the right. Fresh
aud fragrant is our memory of him.
That severe and lofty estimate Of duty
and that discriminating judgment
have served to uplift and strengthen
many who have fought and struggled
in the great arena Of life. For the love
we bore him we would perpetuate this
instrumentality for good. There are
no more endearing, or enduring ties
than those by which learner is bound
in reverence and gratitude to his faith
full teacher.
Philip, Of Macedon, displayed rare
wisdom in employing the learned
Aristotle as tutor for his son Alexander,
who was to be known as the great
The latter was accustomed to say that
he loved Aristotle as his father; the
one having enabled him to live, the
other to live well.
The pleasing duty belongs to another
and worthier son to consider at length
the virtues and excellences Of character,
the heroic life and labors Of our subject.
TO him cheerfuly yield.
In the name of the former students
of DR.. j. NJ. p. Atkinson, / am in
structed to present to our Alma Mater,
through you, its honored president,
this memorial Offering Of gratitude and
affection.
Its noble original inspired us with
high purposes to live well.
His life hath set landmarks before
US"
We trust that the moral and spiritual
qualities which dominated his life have
some faint echo in ours. May this
portrait, which the artist has SO hap
PLY executed, and which is to make
more attractive your halls Of learning
impress for lasting good the ingenious
youth who frequent these classic
shades.

Present Day Thoughts.

Related to the 22nd:-No two lives
90 through just the same experiences.
Mingled with the three great facts
birth, life, death-are minor facts as
varied and as numerous as the minutes
of life. Consequently il is foolish IN
looking back at life that has been to
envy the opportunities that came to 1t,
and that are denied TO us. Another
mans opportunities have nothing to
do with us except to teach Us that to
every one-great and small-in the
possession Of natural intellect there
come openings for some sort Of useful
ness To society aud to self. Ia fact to
every sensible being is given the chance
to take up life at one point and to lay
it down at a point somewhere advanced
from the point where it was taken up.
And in those who know this and yet
do not attempt it there is sin both
against society and self.
The man who wills 10 be heard and
felt will be, just to the extent to which
he is free from seif-seeking. The man
with a great utterauce in him or a
great purpose compelling him, speaks
and works despite all opposings. There
