Mr.. jameson has been an ardent lover
Of Lovejoy's memory and has sought
in every way to preserve it. In our
Alumnus has recently been reprinted
his book Elijah Parish Lovejoy as
a Christian" Being man Of deep
sentiment he went to Mrs hopkins
to tell her of our Centennial plans
And she too being possessed of the
same deep sentiment and of a gen.
erous heart decided that Colby Col
lege ought to have this bookcase for
a memorial. And here it is!
Some pieces of wood. .Ah yes,
wood! But two crossed pieces of
wood have been the light Of the past,
the hope of the future and before
them with reverence and inspiration
the world will always kneel.
Judge Wing, in behalf of Mrs.
Hopkins I have the duty and privi-
lege, greater than which 1 have never
enjoyed, to present through you to
the college, this priceless gift, for
ever to be guarded and preserved
by the college and all her sons and
daughters. Let it stand in Memo
rial Hall. Place upon its shelves, as
If they were loving arms, all the
books which tell the story Of Love-
joy or have his. name. Let our boys
and girls day after day take from,
read and restore to it's tender en-
brace these books, inspiring symbols
of the freedom Of the press for which
he lived and died. And as night
draws on and the shadows fall there
will come with noiseiess feet the
spirits of noble sons and daughters
of Colby, who have gone on before
us. they who have in peace and war
toiled and wrought and wrestled and
fought in the service of man and

the service of God. And reverently
they will look upon the spirit of Eli
jah Parish Lovejoy, the noblest of
them all, standing beside this me-
mortal taken from his humble
but shrine-like home. Abve them
the Lion of Lucerne guarding the
memory of our sons who fought and
died for the freedom of the slave.
And the radiance from these death
less spirits shall illumine the night
and bless the day.
Judge Wing Accepts
The speech of acceptance on be-
half Of the trustees was made by
Judge George c. Wing, an honorary
graduate of the college in the class
of 90 and a member Of the board of
trustees. Judge Wing followed
about the same line as the presenta-
ton speaker in paying tribute to the
memory of the immortal Lovetoy
and spoke Of the good fortune of the
college to have such a reminder of
it's most distinguished graduate. The
bookcase itself stands about four
feet high and is made of vanished
and finished maple with carved fig
ures upon the top and will make an
excellent addition to the library
where it will be placed under the
big Lucerne lion

In MemOriam Mrs. NJ. V. Burris Sr.
''In the night of Death, hope sees a
star and listening love can hear the
rustic of a wing If it were not for
thoughts, like the one quoted above,
tired and heart-sick humanity would
almost faint for lack of courage, in
the dark hour Of parting with loved
ones.
Mrs. M. v. Burris "had not passed
on Lies Highway the stone which
marks the highest point, when being
weary for a moment she lay down,
and using her burden for a pillow, fell
into that listless sleep which kisses
down her eyelids still"
At her departing she was surround
ed by husband sons, daughters and
sons-in-law, whose loving ministra-
tions were constant
While her life had not rounded into
fulness of years, yet in its span, she
had achieved most praiseworthy
success, in that she had implanted in
the minds of her sons and daughters
the character and high ideals which
will guide them Alright through the
paths OF life.
She was never content with good
enough" but it seemed that her
watch-word at all times was service,
and her goal was ever a striving to
achieve that which was beautiful
perfect, and harmonious, with never
a thought OF self 1t was this beau
tiful trait Of her character that made
her one OF the grandest OF mothers
and queenliest Of women, beloved by
all who knew her.
With selfless love she never count
ed the cost when as wife, mother, or
friend, she found opportunity to per-
form some loving service.
