stone that has been laid in the buildings of this University but
numbers the prayers that have been offered up to our Heavenly Fa-
ther for strength, guidance and help. That we should forget His
love and mercy and be indifferent as to the Christian influence to
be used among the students, it would be an impossibility. We de-
sire all of these young men and women to pay due reverence to the
Creator, to remember His precepts and to obey His will; and so live
that their deeds will tell better than words their love for the
Master. There is only one failure for you and that is not to be
true to the best you know. Always be gentle in manner, resolute
in purpose, and you will develop characters on which others can
depend; and you can safely dispense with the more brillian quali-
ties if you can be depended upon for truthfulness, honesty of pur-
pose, and each example of a good student will reach out and have
an undying influence.
One has passed away from earth life has said, "Kind words
and liberal estimates and generous acknowledgements, and ready ap-
preciation, unselfish delight in the excellence of others, these
are the best signs of a large intellect and a noble spirit. To
be true, to be loving is the secret of Christian growth." I hope
each one of you will hold up this ideal before you and then you
will go forth as Missionaries into the world. This is what we wish
what we hope and what we pray for.
