Why Don't YOU Get in on The Relief Fund? 03K)K3KyKOWOHOK00 Q MOVING IS 8LOW. Museum Exhibits Gradually Getting Into Quarters. Tho work of moving tho contents of the Museum to its now quarters is progressing steadily, but of necessity somewhat slowly. Many of tho ex hibits are of such a delicate character that the utmost care must be taken in moving them. Some of the most valuable bone fossils, in their brittle condition, are held together only by patches of cement, and might conse quently be easily broken. Professor Barbour, however, has been helping and overseeing in the work, and so far there has been comparatively little breakage. Four carloads of new oases are be ing placod In the Museum, tho few old cases that will bo used being placed on the upper floor. The new cases arc of polished oak, and match perfectly with the Inside woodwork of the building.' Owing to a strike In the manufacturing plant, the arrival of the cases was somewhat delayed, but most of them are hero now. U8E8 OF TEMPTATION. Dr. J. Beverldge Lee Tells of Them at Convocation. There are threo departments of human growth and education, accord ing to Dr. J. Bevorldge Lee, who spoke at Convocation yesterday on tho subject of the "Moral Values of Temp tation," nnd by these a man comes to his highest development. Tho pro cess that brings It about is "pressure." Pressure put on the body in the form of exercise develops man physically; pressure placed on the mind and in tellect In study develops man mental ly; and pressure on his morals in tho form of temptations develops him In character. We are one sided in hav ing one and not the others, since only In this trinity do we come to complete manhood and womanhood. Temptation .meets everybody . be cause man has a moral nature, anil he must think, grow and live. Man is not tempted because he is weak and bad, but because being good and strong, there is room for a test to make him better. Temptation Is far from being a sign of weakness. Ten nyson has set a value upon it in his "Idylls of tho King," where knights go fprth for moral conflicts and strive to prove themselves moral victors. The first value of temptation Is that it reveals man to himself. Th'e old and experienced know the values of living and what dangers are But young people often stand foolishly awaiting for temptation, as ;Samspn .'

This and Other Equally Good Advice From Professor, "Young lawyers should get married as early In llfo as possible and not sacrifice their social dutlos to tholr professional ambitions. A dopondont wife and family of one, two, throe, or more children brings out tho best there Ib In a man." This was the ad vice given by Professor Frank' L. Sage In a speech at Chicago recently. Continuing, ho said: "The golden rule Is not yet too old to have lost Its force for tho lawyer. Bo honest, not because It is tho best policy, but because it Is right. Be honest with your client. Discourage litigation. But when you must fight, do not take advantage of a holplesB client. Be honest with tho court. Tho judge cannot know nil tho law. Every lawyer should strive toward a repu tation before tho bench for slncorlty. "Finally, bo honest with yourself. It Is not necessarily tho brilliant man who wins out In a case, but tho man who workB. Hard work Is Indispensa ble to a lawyer's success. To that end disregard the question of salary when starting out. Get' into a good office where you can act as clerk and whore your desk will always bo piled high with work. In that capacity you can learn more In two months than In your own office In two years." preat Doings! Fun alive for University girls, Sat urday, April 27, at 2 o'clock!

". 8PEAK8 BEFORE THE MEN OF HARVARD UNIVER8ITY. Tells Them Where They Belong In Politics Deolares Education an Addition, Not a Substitute.- You hero whon you graduate will take up many dlfforont kinds of' work, but thoro is ono work in which all of you should tako part simply as good American cltlzons, and that is tho work of solf-govornmont. Romorabor, In tho first place, that to take part in the work of government doos not In tho least mean of. necessity to hold office. It moans to take an intelligent dislntorostod and practical part 'In tho everyday duties of tho avorage citi zen. In a republic like ours, tho govern ing class is composed of tho strpng men who tako tho trouble to do the work of tho government; and it you are too timid or too fastidious or too careless to do your part In this work, then you forfeit your right to be con sidered ono of tho governing, and you become ono of tho governed instead ono of tho driven cattlo of the polit ical arena. I want you to fool that It is not merely your right to take part in politics, not morofy your duly to the State, but that It Is demanded by your own self-respect, unless you are content to acknowledge that you are unfit to 'govern yourself and have to submit to tho rule of somebody oIbo as a monster and this Is what It means If you do not do your part Jn govornment. Thoro are very fow things loss de sirable than the arid cultivation, the learning and refinement which lon!d merely to that Intellectual conceit which makes a man in a democratic community like ours hold himself aloof from his fellows and prldo hltn self upon the weakness which ho mis takes for supercilious strength. '' Your education, your cultivation, will not help you If you make tho mistake of thinking that it is a sub stitute for, Instead of an addition to those qualities which In the struggle of life bring success to the ordinary man without your advantages. In short, you college men, be doors, rather than critics of the deeds that others do. Stand stoutly for your ideals, but keep in mind that they can only bo realized, even partially, by practical methods of achievement. The college man, the man of Intel lect and training, should take -the lead in every fight for civic and social righteousness. He can take that .lead only If In a spirit of thoro-golng de mocracy, he takes his place among his fellows, as an American among Americans, as a man among men.
