which, if released by united effort
for worthy community causes, would
surprise us all. We have good be-
ginnings-let US make the most OF
team work in Moscow.
''The other day in Denver 1 saw
a long procession of Boy Scouts. ]
was thrilled with the thought OF
what their organized power means
for the community and the life of
each boy. These scouts learn team
work which later will make it pos
sible to do things for their city, state
and country, which their fathers
learned to do only imperfectly and
with greater difficulty. Moscow, by
the way, has fine troop of Boy
Scouts, led by a most worthy leader,
who should be honored as one of the
| leading community builders of his
city:
There is enough power latent in
the many organizations of this town,
churches, fraternal orders and civic
bodies, which if working with uni
fled aim, as during the war, could
make Moscow a beacon light of the
northwest.
"You are good neighbors and loyal
friends, my family and | have abund-
ant reason to know. We find it diff
ficult to go away. Perhaps we can
not be happy anywhere except in this
great northwest. But wherever we
go there will be the cherished men,
ory of the good days with you and of
your fine devotion to the great cause
of education

In brief farewell speech on be-
half of the faculty Dean Francis A.
Thomson of the school of mines said:
"It is significant and appropriate
that we should be gathered here at
a patriotic gathering on our great
national holiday to say farewell to
President Lindley for it is as the
war president of the university that
DR.. Lindley will especially be re-
membered. 1t is even more signific-
ant and still more appropriate, how
ever, that this farewell occasion
should be religious gathering pre-
sided over by the pastor of the
chruch of which DIR. Lindley has
been an active and loyal supporter,
such a circumstance should go to |
answer the criticism so often made of |
the state university being a Goddess |
and irreligious type of institution,
and 1 sincerely hope the time may !
never come when the president of our

loyal and faithful allegiance to the
laid down by Jesus Christ
1000 years ago, and to that institu-
bion-the church-which stands for
he perpetuation of these principles.
The modern American university

contribution which he has made |
would say that is is as an ambassa-
