Parting Address

The parting address was delivered
by Harold Chesterfield Marden of
Nassalboro. He recalled the last
years baccalaureate sermon. deIiy-
cred by President Roberts. and took
from it this statement, For every
one of us, who thinks he can do
more than he can there are a hum
dred of us who can do vastly more
than we think we can" Continuing,
the speaker said that those who are
about to begin life. having had the
great gift of college education. are
debtors, to whom the world owes
nothing. The only tender in which
the debt OF education can be paid is
service. Mr.. Marden compared the
class to a traveller, who with his
journey half done, stops on the crest
of a hill and looks back over the
road he has travelled. SO the college
graduate may look back over the
ambitions. trials and pleasures of his
college life and then looking into the
distance sees the greater heights
