Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Record of Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, Vol. 48: Summer 1972 Mr. Morrison, Mr. Will, Members of the Newcomen Society, Alumni of hampden-sydney, Ladies and other Distinguished Friends of the College. The honor the Newcomen Society pays hampden-sydney means much to us. We have taken the matter of celebrating the college's two hundredth anniversary in 1976 quite seriously. We do this not merely because we would honor those in the college's long history whose labors and devotion have enriched the life of the Commonwealth and the nation. Rather, and more importantly, we do this because we believe that their accomplishments challenge as who shall move with the college into the third century to strive for that quality of influence and excellence they so devotedly sought and so often achieved. This recognition by the Newcomen Society affords a national forum in which to honor the past as a stirring demand upon the future. We thank you. Nowhere can the ambition of our aim be seen more clearly than in the selection of the speaker of the evening. We wanted the most distinguished man of letters in the Commonwealth. He must be a man of broad understanding and historical perceptiveness. He must be highly articulate and able to convey the history of hampden-sydney not as the restraining hand of the past but as an encouraging thrust towards a creative future.
