Excerpt from The Story of Knox College: 1837-1912 From the depths of a full heart the writer Of this nar rative desires to express her profound and abiding sense of personal Obligation to The Founders, that noble and not able band of pioneers for the goodly heritage which they established and bequeathed to her; for this pleasant city Of habitation in which she was born and from which she has never been absent for a longer period than a year at a time; for Knox College in which her happy school days were spent and to which She has ever been closely allied in sympathy and loyalty, both personally and also because Of her father's intimate connection with it for nearly half a century as a member and the secretary of its Board of Trustees; for the Church which gave her her baptismal name and which has been to her from earliest recollection the earthly home of the soul. And Since the opportunity may not again occur, she dc sires to place on record her sense Of indebtedness also to those rare virtues and excellencies of character, of speech, of conduct - to that which in the plodding, weary, restrict ed, oft - times hapless, or again well-nigh hopeless routine of their daily life, was the all-pervasive, uplifting Influence working in and through and above all else; their sorrows, their joys; their failures, their successes; their trials, their triumphs; in a word, to the Spirit Of the Founders, to the memory of the sacred dead. But why pay tribute alone to the Spirit of the Found ers: why not greet and salute the spirits of the founders? Are they not hovering as ministering Spirits all about us, participants in this joyful celebration of our Diamond jubi lee-their Diamond jubilee? Is not the very atmosphere about us palpitant with the presence of the circling throngs? Have they not gathered from near and afar.
