fellow alumni under graduates and ladies and gentle men our friends it is with the ut most diffidence that i absorbed in manufacture have undertaken on behalf of the alumni one of whom it is my honor to be to say some words expressive of our gratifica tion at the honor done to one of our number henry s drinker by his election to the presidency of this university of our hope and confi dence in his success and of felicita tion to all who love lehigh over his acceptance of this call honor able but carrying with it almost overwhelming responsibility my fellow alumni knowing that lehigh men are trained to act rather than speak will pardon my shortcomings let me crave the same indulgence of you all permit me to begin my remarks with a story rudyard kipling has told of a ship not of the largest constructed for a successful firm by skilled shipbuilders who put forth their best efforts her design was carefully worked out every beam girder and plate that entered into her construction was selected and each part firmly riveted or bolted to its place as she started on her maiden voyage she seemed perfect but when the storms came and the gales began to blow and the waves to dash against her first one part and then another began to find that it must not hold too rigidly to the exact spot where it had been put that this rivet and that must give a shade so that all would draw to gether and this part and that part yield a trifle that one might support the other and so when harbor was reached each and every part had come to do its work in perfect ac cord with its neighbor or as rudyard kipling happily put it the ship had found herself is not this story an epitome of the experience of this university ? de continued on second page lehigh university south bethlehem pa saturday
