spoke 7a to the graduates as follows:
"It might well suffice for me, as one who has had Tany
years of:s observabion of the careers of college graduates,
to content myself merely with cormnding to you must heartily, the
worda of wisdom w hinh the President has addressed to you. Put as he
has courteously urged re to add a Thu words in the brief remarks, wit
which I can, with any propriety, claim ta attention at Cries time, I
wish with you to take an inventory of some of the principal gains,
which you will find college life has brought to you, Without
aiming to indicate their relative importance by the order in which I
neame tzun I will S&Wr,
"First, and conspicuous among them, if your experience shall
prove to resemble mine, I will irmntion, College Friendships. To be
thrown, at tle most receptive period of lifewith a group of choice
comrades, pursuing the same or simil ar studies, cherishing the same
high ideals and aspirations, discussing with them in a friendly way,
your differences of opinion on every conceivable subject, is to lay
the foundations of the most precious, most enduring, and most helpful
friendships, which one can ever form, Give thanks for this privilege,
which your University experience has brouwit to you,
"Secondly; I attach high importance to the intellectual
discipline, which you have aoruired. I do not underrate the
ir:aediate practical use of the things you ha-ve learned, But of far
onteater value in the long run is the mental power, which in learning
ther, you have gained for solving any intellectual problems which
mug no, Us you. It is the enlarged capacity to employ your mind as a
tool for meeting the new and unforeseen demands of life that I refer
