A MAN who spends his money is sure he is doing some good with it; he is not sure when he gives it away. A man who spends ten thousand a year will do more good than a man who spends two thousand and gives away eight.

THE beautiful is as useful as the useful.

Samuel Johnson.

CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER, 1829.

A PERFECT gentleman is never reserved, but sweetly and entirely open, so far as it is possible for him to be. The true gentlewoman causes all persons whom she approaches to feel perfectly at home with her.

A SERVANT with this clause

Makes drudgery divine;

Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws,

Makes that and the action fine.

Ruskin.

George Herbert.

CHILDREN warm, and yet they cool our hearts, as we think of what we were and what we hoped to be. And to see our motives moving in the little things, that know not what their aim or object is, must almost, or ought at least, to lead us home, and soften us. For either end of life is home; both source and issue being God.

Blackmore.

WHO feels knows deeper truth than he who sees.
T. W. Higginson.

CORNER-STOne of Wellesley CollLEGE LAID, 1871.

THE one great, true ideal of higher education the ideal of the highest learning in full harmony with the noblest soul, graced by every charm of culture, useful, and beautiful because useful: woman learned without infidelity, wise without conceit; the crowned queen of the world by right of that knowledge which is power, and that beauty which is truth.

"NON ministrari, sed ministrare."

Henry Fowle Durant.

Wellesley College Motto.

HERE might they learn whatever men were taught:
Let them not fear: some said their heads were less :
Some men's were small; not they the least of men ;
For often fineness compensated size:

Besides, the brain was like the hand, and grew
With using; thence the man's, if more was more;
He took advantage of his strength to be

First in the field: some ages had been lost.

Tennyson.

EDUCATE a man for manhood, a woman for womanhood, both for humanity.

Charles Kingsley.

HAST thou not a Brain, furnished, furnishable, with some glimmerings of Light; and three fingers to hold a Pen withal? ... Speak forth what is in thee; what God has given thee.

Carlyle.

NEVER think of mending what you write: let it go: no patching. As your pen moves, bear constantly in mind that it is making strokes which are to remain forever.

Cobbett.
