1t was just a little over a Year
ago al a meeting Of the commence
ment committee that Dr. Libby
made the happy suggestion that in
memorializing the Tooth anniN err
sary OF the graduation OF George
Dana Hoardman. new willow trees
should he planted along the Willow
Walk to take the place Of these
that have died. 1t was at the Same
time proposed that every year at
commencement the senior class
should plant its own willow tree 50
that there should never again he the
empty places along this famous
walk. The class Of 1923 is the first
to fulfill this new duty which be
comes today a tradition of the col
legc.
This simple exercise looks back
ward to the past and forward to the
future. AS we stand here TODAY, we
think of the boys who 81 Years ago
planted a handful of willow tWigs
which have now become these giant
trees, and we think of the succeed
ing generations of Colby students
with lives in some measure enriched
by the beauty of this Willow Walk.
New significance and meaning
was given to these willows when
they were named for the first grad
uate of the college George Dana
Boardman, and they have served to
remind Colby men always of the
zeal and devotion of the great Chris
tan Missionary, and have helped to
perpetrate his spirit among the stu
dents of this college.
Not only do we look backward on
this occasion, but we look forward.
We hope the true plant today will
grow and rise and tower and be in d
true sense typical of the enlarge
ment and development and ever
widening influence Of our beloved
Alma Mater.
