"The last gift is a complete surprise to me," he went on. "As I was on my way here, I met the donor. In fact he was waiting outside the door to intercept me, which isn't"--the president's gray eyes twinkled--"the way all gifts come to colleges. He has been spending the commencement season with us and during his brief stay he seems to have found out a good deal about Harding. He likes some things about our college very much, he says; and other things he would prefer to see changed. But he wants it made quite clear to you all that the reason why he just now handed me a check for fifty thousand dollars is because of the stand the junior class has taken in regard to the dresses they wore to usher in at the various commencement festivities. He liked those dresses as much as a great many other people have liked them"--the president's eyes twinkled again--"and he liked the principle behind them. He wishes the junior class, when it reassembles next fall as the senior class, to vote ten of the fifty thousand dollars to any department of our work it chooses, and he hopes the spirit of Harding College may always be the spirit which this class has manifested, not on this occasion alone but on many others, in which wish I heartily join him."
