The address to the faculty was made by Mr. John Tallon and is as follows: Very Rev. President, Esteemed Processors-, Kind Fellow Students and Gentlemen:. There is no word in the English Dictionary Dic-tionary that has had itsi meaning more perverted than the simple term education. edu-cation. By some it is understood to be the mere varnish and glossi that be-smatters be-smatters the social person of the artificial artifi-cial student of ettiquette. By some it is the capacity to smile opportunely, to speak glibly, to bow prettily. By others oth-ers still it consists in the cramn'ng of memory with geographical and historical histor-ical facts, or in the dry, stiff, unyielding, unyield-ing, lop-sided development of some particular faculty. By the intelligent and the wise it is seen in its true light, and held to be the forming, of a man, the shaping of a Christian as well as a citizen and a scholar. It is giving back to man the nobility and the ner-fection ner-fection he lost by the sin of Adam. Education is the ennobling of the heart, the strengthening of the mind, the straightening of the conscience, the development de-velopment of every faculty of the soul in sweet unison and according to the degree of their importance. It is at once the uplifting of sentiment and the conquest of passion, the culture cul-ture of poetry and the restraint of imagination. im-agination. It is at once the establishing establish-ing of the queenship of reason and the kingship cf faith. It is the making of a religious man without bigotry, it is the forming of a patriot' who can also be a citizen of the world by the dictates dic-tates of charity. It is the making of a scholar and: a Christian gentleman. It is the framing of the character of a Christian Brutus of whom we mieht say: "His life was gentle and the elements ele-ments so mixed in him . that nature mignt stand up and say to all the world, This was a man." He who forms this man is him whom the world might honor, for whom fathers might feel gratitude, for whom mothers might "pray, and whom a country and heme might blesv. and the institution that furnishes such men should sit on the pinnacle uf education and bathe in the sunshine cf prosperity. . Be that institution materially" small, be it comparatively com-paratively poor, let its name and fame be circumscribed to narrower limits, it should nevertheless, by the character of its work, claim the gratitude of all generations. And such an institution, Doys, is ours. Such is All Hallows, where the sunniest dayn of our pil-grimmage pil-grimmage here below have passed. Wealth our Alma Mater dees not yet claim to possess. Fame, outward fame, it has not yet broadly conquered. ' It has not yet thrown any lofty spire3 to the breeze, nor yet hung golden, chimes in proud, ancient towers, nor is modern mod-ern luxury .yet refnlemdcint in marble halls. That day will come, must come, in proportion as its noble' work will roread. But one thing it has and can beast cf true, loyal, learned mem: men' who can teach us the beauty of sacra-fice. sacra-fice. men who can instil devotion into our hearts, men wiio can teach us virtue, vir-tue, and lead our minds with kindly lierht; men who will make of us men, and who, as the evening's feast will prove, can at once be fathers, brothers, I friends, aye, for our &wn gom.1, school-! school-! mates, too. It is those whom we es-! es-! teem, those who honor us today; who in j silence claim our loyalty, inn- grati-I grati-I tudc, our devotion, and our lov3.
