Ma rian campus, a veritable paradise in its flowering shrubbery of spring, in its shaded walks and clear lakes of summer, in its unrivalled coloring of autumn, in its feathery whiteness of winter—has it not cried to you to praise, to adore, to thank the Omni potent, has it not cried out to you to admire, to trust the Creator, im mutable in His providing care of an everchanging world? You are about to take your place in the world. You will find yourself in the maddened rush and strain caused by an unparalleled volcanic eruption of man's will counteracting the fundamental laws of individual and national rights and duties. You are prepared. Not unlike the Wise Virgins in the Gospel, you have been alert; you have kept your lamps burning; you are supplied with oil.
