PRESIDENT BUCKHAMS ADDRESS
bid YOU welcome to the 10th session
of the University Of Vermont, Welcome
from faculty to students-from students
to facuity-from all of us to newcomers.
Welcome to a year Of intellectual earnest
ness and hdelity-to well-earned relaxa-
ton in sport and merriment-to social en-
joyment and the cultivation of friendship
and to the highest of all plea sures, the
consciousness of intellectual and spiritual
growth and the furtheranCc of 1t in
others
! am going to occupy the half-hour dur
ing which shall detain you with some
considerations regarding this our univer-
sity-what It is historically and in It's
ideas and aims--what reasons we have
for believing in ii and loving !; and labor
ing for it. Borrowing a suggestion from
the great Athenian orator, ! shall not
seek to magnify our own polity by in
vidious comparisons with that of other
institutions which may be supposed 10 De
our rivals. But there are certain distinc-
tions and priorities which form a great
part Of our heritage, and OF our reasons
for being. which we may well. with a
modest pride. make clear to ourselves,
