been our privilege to have among
others. former Justice OF the Su-
preme Court Carmody, and the
speaker of the legislature just pre-
ceding this one now in session, Mr..
Hanley. We delight to do honor to
such stalwart type Of men, but in
having with us today our governor
and his wife, We feel that the great
est possible honor that our state
can confer upon us is ours. AS the
youngest and most vigorous Chris
tian institution in the state, we bid
you welcome.
Our state has been built up large
ly as other states of the Union. We
could not get alamg without our
sturdy farmers, our business and
professional men. In each we de-
sire the best type of character and
that character can only be attained
by combining in CIR icitizens, those
characteristics so splendidly exem-
plified in the Father of our Coun-
try" His was atrong and, rugged
physique. His was mind that
showed every mark of culture; add
ed to this, he had deep religious
sense which was so evident during
the trying winter at Valley Forge.
AS school we also place emphasis
on these traits sturdy physique, a
cultured mind, and tor this we would
add the teaching Of the "Man5of Gall
ilee."', Our only excuse for existence
is that we carry out to the letter the
development of high Christian char
acter. We rejoice ITO do honor to a
man whose past life has shown that
he stands squarely for the highest
and noblest form of Christian man
hood. (Great applause.)
We welcome youtaovernor Hanna,
as a citizen. In the history of this
great state from it's earliest devel-
opment you have played an impor-
tant part. Whether it was between
the handles of a breaking plow,
whether discussing with your neigh
bors those problems uppermost in
state and nation, or whether as a
business man, you have always and
in fair way stood for those things
which were highest and best.
We would welcome you as SER
want of the people. The Duke of
wellington once said. ':He alone is
able to govern who first has learned
to serve." Your services to the peo-
pie of this state cannot 'be overesti-
mated. / refer particularly to your
work in congress. Always fighting
for the interests of those whom you
represented, it was fitt4e wonder
that our stste conferred upon you
last November the highest gift in
her power, making you her chief
magistrate. (Applause.)
We welcome you as our governor.
I think in doing so may safely use
the words of an old neighber who
has known you for thirty years. He
said, without casting any reflec-
tions upon our former governors. I
believe that L. B. Hanna will make |
the best governor this state has ever
had" Coming from one who has
known you SO long, know of no
higher tribute that could be given.
Again. in behalf; of the students OF
this College. bid you welcome.

It is with pleasure that I speak to
the toast. "Our State for what
could be more inspiring subject
than one in honor Of the common
wealth which is our home, about
which our earliest recollections are
entwined, and the birthplace Of
many of us? ...
In our country's early history,
men worked for the honor and dis
tinction Of their state. Penn found
