but by their presence. The dec
Grating committee did their best
and the beauty of the surround

beautiful, the ideal in life. The

1or laggards, pussafoots, or mol
!ycoddles, but the idea is to push
1oreward, conquer environments
and overcome difficulties, and
accomplish something in the
world. 1t requires work to as
cend the hill of science. Many

tested, his progress is slow and
oiten discouraging and his eff
1orts may appear as failures bur
no, each step to rise only stiu,.
ulates his powers, and leads to
that effort which has no appear
ance of failure but is a great
success. For elegance of d deliv-
cry, beauty OF expression and
pathetic sentiment | think Mary
Young excelled. Presentation ot
