President Winston.
After the announcement of the
prizes came more music by the band,
and then DR. Winston expressed his re-
greet that Governor Aycock had been
called away by important business, al
ter travelling all night in order TO be
there with them.
President Winston said that Govern
or Aycock was one of the few govern
ors who had learned now to govern
the people of the State He thought
that the best way to make good men
was to take boys and train them to be
men. He had been less a governor
than a teacher After Germany ha /
been conquered by France, FIGHTER
advised the Emperor 10 educate the
children of the country. And Bismarck
and Won Moltke as children went to
these schools and lived to stand in the
palace of Versailles and see Emperor
Frederick William master of France.
So Governor Aycock had seen North
Carolina last in the list of States in, re-
gard to education, and had set about
his work Now if you wish a monu-
ment for him. look about you.
Then DR.. Winston addressed the
graduates, and said that nature had
given most of them poverty,
state and their parents had given them
an education. And the poverty and
the training had given them charac-
ter and health. He gave them the
watchword Begin at the Bottom" He
could say that great pride OF THIS
college was that there was not one or
it's graduates but had some honorable
place in life. some regular work to- do
Most college graduates begin life when
thew leave college. You have already
been in life, some of you for years.
You will begin at the bottom, the fun
damental principles of morality, as
well as of labor. You Will aim right
but you Will always hold fast to the
bottom. You will never float in midair,
with your feet off the earth, as so
many educated men do. You Will keep
your feet on the earth, and thereby
reach the stairs.
