Presentation Address Of Herbert e.
Wadsworth, 3. A.. '92
Mr.. President, Mr.. Chairman, and
Board of Trustees:
It was 80 years ago this month
when our class was graduated from
Colby and went into the world to
seek and to serve. Thirty years is
no small span of life. Zach of these
years in passing has added to our
sense of debt to our Alma Mater.
We. like other Colby classes, were
born from old New England stock,
poor for the most part but rich in
traditions. proud of their fathers and
faithful to friend and state. 1t was
the belief of these fathers, in the
influence of Colby for truth and
right. that brought most of US here.
The experiences of the 80 years have
convinced us that their opinion was
correct.
The Civil War was fresh in their
memories. They well remembered
how college boys at Colby became
the boys of '61 at the first call for
volunteers. They remembered how
they fought and fell and that gem
