the guest of the students at their

The day will come In Alabama"
DIR. Smith said, when each one Of
you will look back upon your work
IN Birmingham Ter the university as
the best weeks work YOU ever did.
THE bane Of southern colleges is that
so few of the alumni take any in
terest In their school outside of its
football team. Alumni of schools OF
tho north and east consider IL their
duty to repay their alma mater by
making gifts to the school.
There is nothing more beautiful
more unselfish in American civiliza-
titn than this sentiment among
alumni OF appreciation for the edu-
cation they have received, expressing
Itself by aiding others to obtain an
education.
Two Large Reports
me money you have obtained in
birmingham this week for your uni
versity is little in comparison with
the value OF the sentiment of service
to your alma mater you have started.
Your unselfish work is starting
splendid custom in Alabama. You
have set an example to the older
citizens of Birmingham and Alabama
of giving service and money TO the
cause cf education. Years hence this
custom will show its effects In a
far greater university at Tuscaloosa
and a better educated, more cultured.
happier. Weather eitizenry through
out your state"
