ENCAENIA, MAY, 1955
COLIN BRIDGES MACKAY
to be Doctor of Laws
Before you stands the tenth President of this University, that we may invest him with our highest insignia. Thereby we would show both our appreciation of what he has done and our confidence in what he has yet to do.
To an exacting task he brings three solid talents: his vision of its magnitude, his youthful energy, and that fiery love of the old College which is found only in the heart of an alumnus. So intimately is he rooted in the place that he administers the university from the very building that was first his nursery and later his academic nurse.
Of two talents, his loyalty and his vision, we need never doubt. But, as his burdens increase, as increase they will, we would bid him to take thought for his strength; and, reminding him "youth's a stuff will not endure", we pray that, whenever and wherever he may see fit, he will leave to his many and willing lieutenants the battle, that he may oversee the war.
