Lincoln Day
Continued, from page r
also stated that Dr. Brumbaugh, as
much as any man living, could ap
preciate what Lincoln’s life was
worth to educational advancement.
Dr. Brumbaugh then took the
platform, and for forty minutes held
the close attention of his audience as
he brought before his hearers the
power and splendor of Lincoln’s
achievements in the face of almost
every obstacle that could bar a
man’s way.
He spoke of Lincoln’s modesty,
and of his capacity for hard work.
He believes that the rise of so great
a man was not an accident but the
out:ome of years of toilar.d tireless
perseverance. Then suddenly di
gressing, and addressing the students
directly he exclaimed, “Oh, I wish
I could get into your minds the fact
that there is no genius for you ex
cept the genius of hard work.’’ He
brought to remembrance Lincoln’s
fight for an education, and his ulti
mate command of language that
made some of his speeches and
letters imperishable.
In short Dr. Brumbaugh presented
Lincoln as a type of man to be used
as a model for young men of to-day,
noble, kind, modest, unwavering in
character, energetic and tireless in
his work, and of irreproachable pri
vate life.
Dr. Brumbaugh sat down amidst
a shower of applause.
After a selection by the Glee
Club, “Home That I Love,’’ Parker
McF. Jordan, ’O6, spoke on “Lin
coln the President” which was well
received. “Lincoln at Home” was
the subject of a masterly oration by
0. C. Hays, ’O6, who fairly outdid
himself and completely captivated
the audience.
The exercises were closed by the
s.nging of the national hymn, “My
Country Tis of Thee.”
The remainder of the day was
THE STATE COLLEGIAN
spent by students in all the numer
ous ways of 4 enjoyment common to
holiday time, and was, altogether,

in after years.
