"Mr. President, Students of Ihe Uni?

"1 appreciate far more I inn I can
express the high compliment bestow?
ed when I was invited to he present
upon ihis occasion und participate lu
these exorcises. I fell highly honored
to lie considered worthy in he one or
ihe guests on Pounders' Day. at an
Institution of learning so illustrious as
the University of Virginia. 1 tani
gilnd to have this oportunity to revisit,
this delightful place, ami recall the
halcyon days of early youth, when I
was numbered among its students.
Sluintiliig here in ihe presence, of
some of my old professors and of
these students ami touched 'by these
classic surroundings, which breathe
an atmosphere of thought, study ami
learning, in Inaugural ion I am once
iipjalu a college hoy. unfettered hy
cares, undisturbed ity responsibilities,
joyous with high hopes, stirred Ity
lofty purposes and viewing life
through a gilded veil, with everything
bright and beautiful. I am pleased
to he permitted once more to express
my pride at her splendid achieve?
ments in Ihe past, and delight, at the
great prosperity which awaits ?her in
the future. During the years that. I
shall exercise the high office of Clov
ernor of. Virginia, with its powers and
responsibilities, no institution in ihis
Slate shall receive from me more at
lenive care and more willing support
ihn it that extended to this University.
State Increases Appropriation.
"I am gratified beyond meas?
ure that ihe commencement of
my ndminisl rat ion was marked
hy a liberal increase of Ap?
propriation to this magnificunt
institution. Arouml this University
flusters u glamour of glory and great?
ness unexcelled hy any jn this nation.
In every .field of human endeavor and
activity her sons have labored and
attained distinction. The achieve?
ments of her illustrious sons, consist?
ing of stalrsnien. scholars, poets,
lawyer, historians, scientists, have
brought to her a deep majesty und en?
circled ber'hrow with unfailing lustre.
The roll call of her alumni would
comprise a large part of the greatness
and genius of this nation. The spirit
that pervades ibis University cannot
fall lo furnish inspiration to her stu?
dents and lo enuiiyp them for success
In Ihn higher pursuits of life.
Work Alotie Wins Honors.
"Here distinctions, honors and
the highest rewards are only
obtained alter the most vig?
orous efforts. though work
and romplcto proficiency. Here the
pooiYisi nnd the humblest student re?
ceives Ute s line consideration thai is
accorded ihe richest and proudest.
Here, more than anywhere else I
have ever known, is established an
absolute aristocracy of Intellect and
