Ments and history it is the common heritage of all who bear the name to take pride and interest. Old stories of Campbells of reckless bravery, of Camp bells who were good and true friends and of Camp bells who were neree and bitter enemies. Stories of Campbells who fought hard, lived hard and died as they fought and lived. Those olden days may seem a time of scant respect for law, of misdirected chivalry and of brave deeds often wrongly done, but there is surely no true Campbell who, in his inmost heart, is not proud to claim descent from a clan whose ancient records are replete with such traditions; whose later records tell of those early adventurers who left their native hills and glens for the new land of promise, and Whose descendants have, in more prosaic times, earned honors in litera ture, arms and art. It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors. Those who do not look upon themselves as links connecting the past with the future do not fulfill their duty in the world.
