Excerpt from St. Andrews and Elsewhere: Glimpses of Some Gone and of Things Left And now, I have gone into the old house, and talked with the new Principal. We walked together along the beautiful Shady path, worn Of one's frequent feet through these Short years. NO man could more worthily hold his place than Principal Stewart and it was strange and touching to me to see him there. For when I came here, this time twenty-nine years, he was but a hopeful youth, a student of this College whose Head he is to-day. He was indeed the Admirable Crichton of his day; and no man has surpassed his record. He was the first who read the lessons in church for me and I have briefly told his story elsewhere.' He had risen high then: risen by merit and by nothing else: and we, who fancied we had helped to make him, were proud of him. But now he has got to the very end of his tether. He appears to me still to be one Of my boys but I see plainly he looks a good deal older. I should not like to enquire what, in that respect, he thinks Of me.
