mountains^ but a man's country is a principle and patriotism is 
loyalty to that principle." Principles and ideas belong to the 
category of things invisible and intangible, but they are none the 
less real on that account. If you should take out of life all such 
realities, it would be very much as if you should take all the sap 
out of the orchards that whiten with blossoms under the coaxing 
ministry of this May sunlight. 
All that this College has been it is now. All the heroism and 
all the sacrifice of its founders, its early teachers and students 
are an important part of its present life. If asked, '‘Where is 
Denison University " we should, of course, reply "In Granville, 
Ohio," but not all of Denison University is here. Wherever in 
this country and in other countries men and women are busy 
producing values, economic, mental, social, moral, as the result 
of the awakening they received here and as the result of the 
ideals and impulses planted in their lives while in this College — 
there is the inner, the real Denison. President Chamberlain, 
may God speed you in your worthy work of promoting the inter- 
ests of Denison, the outer and the inner, as well. 
ADDRESS BY MR. CURTIN. 
Any member of the undergraduate body of Granville Col- 
lege would be proud to take the role which I as representative am 
called upon to assume. So anything that I may say on this occa- 
sion gives unanimous voice to the feelings of the men of Denison. 
And in their behalf I extend to you. Dr. Chamberlain, most 
hearty congratulations upon your assuming the presidency of 
this college, assuring you of our intense loyalty and support. 
In this College's existence of eighty-three years there have 
been times when the future seemed uncertain, and there have 
been periods of growth and prosperity, but never in all its his- 
tory has it been so flourishing or had so bright an outlook as it 
has today. These beautiful hills and valleys, the atmosphere of 
peace and quiet which pervades the village, seem to contradict 
the struggle which was necessary before the Denison of today 
was accomplished. The opportunities which we now enjoy for 
the shaping of our manhood were purchased at the cost of strug- 
gle and self-sacrifice by those who loved Denison and believed 
in her future. This spirit of self-sacrifice and love for the insti-
