Excerpt from Courage Ladies and Gentlemen - Even in those two words I see what a change has come over the Scottish Universities since my days. There were no girl undergraduates then. Ladies, you add to my terrors today, but I congratulate and applaud you on winning your scarlet gowns. When Lord Haig was speaking I was remembering, as I dare say you all were, other days, when it was not as chancellor that we thought of him, days when he used a phrase about our having our backs to the wall - which is where I feel my back is at this moment. I once thought of trying to address you on the theme If there had been no war, but a grimmer text would be If there had been no Haig. Among the changes, you might have had a rector at St. Andrews with a German accent. Lord Haig is a man of Fife. As you say, he might have done worse. Yet some of your queer ways and words in Fife rather amuse us in Forfarshire. The first favor I must ask of you is to be lenient if you don t hear me. I am not accustomed to speaking, and just now I hear my own voice with a horrible resonance, like a peal of bells in an empty house. But I have a suspicion that the noise does not travel, and that, when all is over, my rectorial address may still remain a secret. I shall do my utmost, but I can assure those of you who don t hear me that you are having much the best of it just now. December Roses No one could be more conscious of the honor you have done me. You have had many rectors here who will shine on after the likes of myself are dead and rotten and forgotten. They are the roses in December. You remember that someone said that God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December. But I don t envy the great ones. In my experience, and you may find in the end it is yours also, the people I have cared for most and who have seemed most worth caring for - my December roses - have been very simple folk. But I wish that for this hour that I could swell into someone of importance, so as to do you credit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
