It is the product of influences and the manner of dealing with them. In the shape that it gradually takes, it is, in a word, that which makes us what we individually are . And thus the drama as it records the stages of construction is said to hold the mirror up to Nature. Out of a vast area wherein a subject for this evening's address might be sought, I have ventured to select a single study in character which may occupy our attention for the few minutes at our disposal, that of a great and a p...athetic figure in English history, a man still most imperfectly understood by the majority of people — Cardinal Wolsey. I do not deny a certain personal leaning in so doing. From my youth onwards the picture of the great Cardinal as it faces you from the rich panelling of the hall of Magdalen College has been to me a most familiar sight. And though the tradition that it was his genius which raised that glorious tower, which is, perhaps^ the choicest among all the many gems that Oxford 152 A Birthday Address tjoasts, will not bear examination — for Wolsey's sole, certain part was that of paying the cost as Bursar, when the work was done — no member of the College can ignore the tie, or withhold the respectful sentiment which his memory inspires.
