Education of manhood does not come to its end on the day of graduation. It has its begi ng and its first stage before | that day, but it continues until life closes. The reason for rules, if we ! them so, at the beginning. is the same as that for the laws of afterward. The reason for placing them at the Seginning is that the education for what life must inevitably bring it begin in the early perfod or the man is In danger of never gaining the | nse of duty. If there is anything in life for which I feel that I have | reason to be grateful. it is that I have full and pressing work for every day, and that I am obliged to meet appointments and duties. | There is one thing which seems to me to belong to the life of the true university agd thus to be part $f the life of every college | man—the disposition estimate both men and things according to| Alone Can Check the Evil Tendencies Now Apparent of the university He does charact=: d, indeed, d and e man is in him- the e: malk who or solution of great ich popular phrase has They have that ease of man- economic t can i here is where education, and conse- . plays an impeortant part. ves honey to others ge or univer Often 2 man whom c nces have rrevnngad enjoying the advantages of education “1 % g to send my boy to col- lege to make a gentleman out of him.” e nuine university man ecessarily e in which itured ma: Not indeed the man of ¢ is always a gentleman. this with which it just The gentleman & of kindness toward . of obed our neighber as g and sentiment 'and. principle ma gentieness and honor and great command which is one whose inward feel necessity, i the outward behavior, and, so soon as the opportunity of culture offers, in the manners which express the true amiability of the man.

Yet there are | the years of active living | temptations in all universities and colleges to forgetfulness in this matter, which I think should be.kept in view. The member of the university is not a scheol boy, and he ought to lay aside the dis- tinetive characteristics of the school boy, which are meant to be | cutgrown when he passes within the university gates.

The truth sho i ing should be the fect light with which n Ome of the most notable characteristi e them in due relat is almost necessari the ov mating of this part of our nature. The mind at that period is waking into full self-consciousness, and the man prides h seif upon having within himself that which seems his most ennobling and’ glorious possessicn. But on the other hand one of the largest and best elements in university life is friendship. The life of study moves in the In lectual sphere; but the life of the student reaches out also into quite a different sphere; and it grows stronger and better because of affection which binds one soul to another. No man who looks apon h univers course can fail to see that asseciat friend with friend moved along with the association of e rith books or teachers in ae aplishing the result of career. This element of friendship in the class relationshi bearing witness of the value of the emotional side of the:natuw gives its constant testimony to the faet that knowledge and inte lectual power are but partof the man, and that truth £ clearly seen when the intellect and the feelings work i Truth is oftentimes but dimly seen by the f man who does not moVve toward it with his whole na v be sure to find it.
