selves, seeking to spell out the enigma of their own fate. Philosophy is
the wisdom of age coming after the enterprise of youth and finding out
what it meant. When the Greek civilization was about to perish, great
philosophers appeared; and first they gathered its meaning, and then they
presented that meaning to the world to be forevermore its warning and
guidance. Philosophy as the science of life, rescuing its meaning and
passing it on from generation to generation, gives to human experience its
continuity and secures its progressive unity. There is a tremendous page
in history turned over now, I hope never to be opened again. On your
reflective men, borrowing their facts from truthful historians, and inter-
preting them in the spirit of the sciences and of philosophy—which is
the widest in purpose and the strictest in method of all the sciences—on
them depends whether or not we shall gather the harvest, the sowing of
which has been so unspeakably costly.

I hope, sir, that this new institute will become, in this largest of all
the free States of this free country, a leader and guide and inspiring ex-
ample in this central study of the humanities.

AT THE LUNCHEON IN HONOR OF THE MISSION
GIVEN BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 12:15 P.M.

VICE-PRESIDENT CAGE: Our distinguished guests on this occa-
sion represent both the Educational Mission from Great Britain
and the military of our own country. We feel, in so far as our mili-
tary guests are concerned, that they are a part of us. They belong to
us. We are converting them into citizens, at least temporary citizens, of
Houston. Accordingly, we not only receive them as welcome guests
of the afternoon, but wish them to act as hosts with us at the same
time. Our friends from abroad have already been welcomed to Texas
by our State at the hands of our worthy Governor, by our municipality
through our worthy Mayor, and it now becomes my pleasure, as a
representative of your Chamber of Commerce, to welcome them on
behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, the powerhouse of the city. It
affords me pleasure to extend to them the most cordial, sincere and
heartfelt welcome. We have seized this opportunity to offer them such
a welcome.
