KINCAID REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COLLEGE ALUMNAE. DEAR FRIENDS : After seven years of absence I come back to Oberlin to-day with thankfulness and pleasure. In the changes which have come through your new and beauti- ful buildings, I rejoice. Seeing is believing. I find myself feeling much as the queen of Sheba did at the court of king Solomon. 4 ( And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land. Howbeit, I believed not the words until I came, and mineeyes had seen : an...d behold the half was not told me. " It is because I believe in Oberlin that I rejoice to speak to-day for the twelve hundred women who have gone out as alumnae from this place. Dear Oberlin, we are your loyal, loving daughters. We love you, not simply with the old child love, because you arc our mother, but because, with our older eyes, we still see in you that which we can respect and follow. With all these added charms which age has brought, we do not want our mother to change too much. We are glad to-day she has this pretty gown of grass and foliage, and these beautiful buildings the pearls sent by loving hands but we want her to be the same brave mother still.
