and pursuits of those who have preceded them. I
have, perhaps, thought more of the latter than of the former class.
Members of the College have always been distinguished for a certain
independence of thought and adherence to principle, not always guided
by motives of mere worldly prudence; they have always been noted for
that strong corporate feeling which finds expression in the words of
Viscount Falkland's letter, before alluded to: "I still carry about with
me an indelible character of affection and duty to that Society, and an
extraordinary longing for some occasion of expressing that affection and
that duty."
To one who has spent much of his life in the service of the institution
to which he owes so much, the words of the Psalmist (a Scot naturally
quotes the version endeared to him by early association) seem to put the
matter concisely--
"For in her rubbish and her stones
thy servants pleasure take;
Yea, they the very dust thereof
do favour for her sake."
