There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

Стр. 77 - ... (3) his qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship; and (4) his exhibition during school days of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates; for those latter attributes will be likely in after life to guide him to esteem the performance of public duties as his highest aim.

If so large a part should fall to your share, you would be in so far superior to other women and should be correspondingly proud.

Стр. 76 - My desire being that the students who shall be elected to the Scholarships shall not be merely bookworms, I direct that in the election of a student to a Scholarship regard shall be had to — 1. His literary and scholastic attainments, 2. His fondness for and success in manly outdoor sports such as cricket, football, and the like, 3. His qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship, and 4. His exhibition...
Стр. 4 - Oxford walls are grey and worn: She knows the truth of tears, But to-day she stands in her ancient pride Crowned with eternal years. Gone are her sons: yet her heart is glad In the glory of their youth, For she brought them forth to live or die By freedom, justice, truth.
Стр. 78 - In memory of John Harvard, AM A member of Emmanuel College, who emigrated to Massachusetts Bay, and there dying in 1638, bequeathed to a college newly established by the General Court, his library and one-half of his estate. Wherefore his name is born by Harvard College, that eldest of the seminaries which advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity throughout America.
Стр. 68 - You must not be anxious about my not coming back. The chances are about ten to one that I will. But if I should not, you must be proud like a Spartan mother, and feel that it is your contribution to the triumph of the cause whose righteousness you feel so keenly. Everybody should take part in this struggle, which is to have so decisive an effect, not only on the nations engaged, but on all humanity. There should be no neutrals, but everyone should bear some part of the burden.
