"Principle, that word I have spoken of more than any other; principle, that word which meana so much In a man's life; prin ciple, which might be said to be the de terminer of deatiny; principle, that word which meana so much; principle. Is the lat word I want to leave with you, my young friend." 80 spoke Rev. M. J. Dowllng. retiring president of Creighton university, Irr his farewell talk to the students at a reception tendered him by them Friday afternoon. Hia last charge to them was to live up to their principles, not because It seems aire or because It be forced upon them, but for the sake of their principles and Almighty Ood. Stating that the greatest pleasure he has received from his work here was the knowl edge that he had done some good and that the atud.mts have harkened to his mes sage and profited by his words, Father Dowllng spoke highly of the member of the faculty and that he would not take all the credit for the work done In the. school, for nothing could have been accompllphed but for the generosity of the late Count Creighton and the support of the entire faculty. He then pointed out the differ ence between the local cnducatlonal lnstl tut Ion any any other school of higher learn ing In that the members of 4he faculty In Creighton university receive no salary; they work for the love of the work, and there fore have something higher In their heart than almply the duty of the hired educator who worka for pay. "I Have Done My Best. "I have done my best for Creighton uni versity, but all that I will take away of that which I material will be about $8, to get me to my new location. But I am con tent. We do not work for money; we have been dealing with you, students, for the greater glory of God and for the sako of humanity through you, for by your educa tion received here you will be enabled to do more for mankind and for Ood and be worthy of Creighton university." Following Father Dowllng. Father Ma geveny, the Incoming president of the uni versity, spoke a few words to the students, congratulating them upon their manliness, that which he said he had heard the moat of, even before coming to Omaha. "Manliness Is the most essential," de clared Fnther Mageveny, "for foundations, studies, profeFors. nil go for naupht un less the students are of the manly kind." Tribute to Father DowHaar. The new president spoke hltjhly of Father Dowllng and of the work that has been done In the school In other years, and asked for the same kind of co-operatlon In the future that has been manifested In the past. In closing, as a token of respect to and reverence for Father Dowllng, Father Mageveny called for a standing vote of thanks, which was given, the boys fol lowing with three cheers, first for the retir ing president and then for the new, bring ing the afternoon exercise to a close by giving the college yell. Trior to the short talks by the old and new heads of the Institution. Ray Stoat, on the part of the academic department of the school, and Ray Corrlgon, on the part of the college department, gave short ad dresses, eulogizing Father Dowllng and promising upnort to Father Mageveny. Thomas Lamphler read an original poem, which, In rnnst pleasing language, told well of the great work the retiring president ha done and of the reluctance felt by the students In his leaving. A quartet enliv ened the program wrth a couple of selec tions. This Is Mr. Lemphler'a poem: ' A Memory and a Hope. The glories of a day well spent with strife But mark a single stepping stone In life; Yet from the peaceful dusk of twilight hour Ascends each haloed act of vital power. Each worthy deed dnne for humanity To live forever in eternity. Thus dav to day the full-grown cycle make And each strong action done for God, par takes In full of noble hero's glorious meed And add to It the gem of godly deed A thing more fit to grace the land above And win the glory of omniscient love.

To bend snd crown thee man of strength and might. To born anj unborn men a living light. Success Itself, from man's begrudging hand.
