And so, in retiring as president
of this college,

:01:05

:01:06
it is indeed a painful task
to bid you all goodbye.

:01:09

:01:10
And now, with the utmost pleasure,
:01:12

:01:13
may I present the man who is to guide
the destiny of this great institution:

:01:17

:01:18
Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff!
:01:22

:01:28
Professor, it is an honor
to welcome you to Huxley College.

:01:32

:01:32
Never mind that, hold this coat.
:01:35

:01:38
By the way, there's no smoking.
:01:41

:01:41
That's what you said.
:01:43

:01:46
It would please the faculty
if you would throw your cigar away.

:01:49

:01:49
The faculty can keep their seats.
There'll be no diving for this cigar.

:01:54

:01:55
Members of the faculty,
faculty members,

:01:57

:01:58
students of Huxley
and Huxley students!

:01:59

:02:00
I guess that covers everything.
:02:02

:02:02
I thought my razor was dull
until I heard his speech.

:02:04

:02:05
Which reminds me of a story so dirty
I'm ashamed to think of it myself.

:02:09

:02:09
As I look at your faces, I understand
why this college is flat on its back.

:02:14

:02:14
At my last college, it was slightly
different. I was flat on my back.

:02:18

:02:19
Things went from bad to worse,
but we all pulled together,

:02:21

:02:21
and soon I was flat on my back again.
:02:24

:02:24
Any questions? Any answers?
:02:26

:02:26
Any rags? Any bones?
Any bottles today? And rags...

:02:29

:02:30
Let's have some action around here.
Who'll say 76? Who'll say 1776?

:02:34

:02:34
That's the spirit! 1776!
:02:36

:02:37
You'd like to know why I'm here.
:02:39

:02:39
I came here to get my son out.
:02:41

:02:41
I remember the day he left:
A mere boy and a beardless youth.

:02:44

:02:45
I kissed them both goodbye.
By the way, where is my son?

:02:49

:02:50
Young lady, would you get up
so I can see the son rise?

:02:53

:02:55
So, doing your homework in school, eh?
- Hello, old-timer!
