was as follows:
We set aside this day in order to
show our appreciation and gratitude
t the University for the many fa
vors it has conferred upon us. Our
expression of this attitude is shown
by p'anting the Ivy, which to us is
the emblem of service. As the Ivy
srves to shade and protect that a
bout which H entwines itself, so
should we ever serve to protect and
defend those principles which the
Voiversity has planted within us.
We are caled to the Universtiy to
prepare ourselves for a life-service.
In order that we may properly per
form that service, we must get knowl
edge and training that will give us
the broadest view of life and discov
er for us our relation to mankind.
This vision of life will enazle us to
render the best serivce to uor fellow
servants and also be the best service
for ourselves.
Life is the unfolding of a myster
ious power which In man rises to
self-consciousness; to a knowledge of
o world of truth, order, and love,
where action may no longer be left
wholly to the sway of matter or the
Impulse of Instinct, but may and
should be controlled by reason and
conscience. To further this rocesss
by deliberate and intelelctual effort
is to educate. Hence education Is
man's conscious co-operation with
the Infinite Being in promoting the
development of life: It Is the brlng
of life In its highest form to bear up
llfe, Individual and social, that it
mal raise It to a greater perfection,
to an ever-lncdeaslng potency.
The motive from which education
springs Is the belief In the goodness
of life and the consequent desire for
a richer, freeer, and higher life. It
is the point of un'on of man's var
ious and manifold activities, for
whether he seeks to nourish and pre
serve the better things In life, or to
prolong and perpetuate them In his
descendants, or to enrich and widen
them in domestic and civil society,
or to grow more conscious of them
thru faith and love, or in whatever
other way he may exert himself, the
end and aim of his aspiring and strlv
ing is educational it Is the unfold-

ing and uplifting of his being
service.
The University springs from soci
ety and must therefore be an expres
sion of the common life. It is one
of the agencies of a national pur
pose. The ancient monarchs recog
nized the nppd of a university and
the service of university men. King
Alfred founded Oxford and Charle
magne established the University of
Paris. Ebperor William Is reported
to have said that because of their
educational training, Bismark and
von Moltke were tools In the hands
of his august grandfather. In order
to create more instruments of service
the university of Berlin was estab
lished. As a social agent, the university
is entrusted with certain standards
of the community, standards of sci
entific efficiency, standards of cultur
al attainment, standards of personal
character and civic duty. It is only
thru the creation, the guarding of
the elevation of these standards that
material and spiritual progress is
possible. An illustration of this is
found in the person of Hon. Roscoe
Pound, now recognized as one of the
greatest legal scholars known to Eng
ltsh Jurisprodence. When the mind
Is possessed of this vision of the Un
iversity, all the careers for which it
provides training take on the dignity
of social worth. Vocations which
have been thought of at first, as in
dividual means of success, upon view
ing the broader sense of a vocation,
they widen into liter calls to serve
society. The office of the teacher,
the function of the physician, and
the work of the engineer get their
higher meaning from their value to
the community. Scientific farming
is in one-view a vocation for person
al gain, but in a deeper sense the eel
entitle farmer Is a public servant dlf
fusing skill and knowledge, raising
into higher esteem a fundamental
industry which makes modern soci
ety possible. The profession of the
law so often thought of as a field for
personal exploitation is, in its true
significance, a social service. The
lawyer iB a servant of society, officer
of the court of justice, guardian of
the public peace and bond servant
of the people.
If the University 1b to enjoy the
reputation of being a worthy social
agent, it will do so because of the
service rendered by her graduates.
Only when they feel an obligation
to further the common purpose of
the University, that is, to make it
a true organ of the whole people,
then only can it maintain a valuable
reputation as a social-service agent
So long aa this spirit prevails, no
sense of arrogance or exclusiveness
will enter the minds of its members.
In this view, every man and woman
of the commonwealth becomes a pat
ron and supporter of the University
and may expect from it good-will and
loyal service. If to say that the Uni
versity belongs to the state, means
anything at all, then every member
who has any Imagination that pow
er to see the institution in its real
relationship must feel the genuine
responsibility of one who would
faithfully serve his felolws.
The usefulness of a university 1b
measured by Its mental, moral, and
spiritual product. Our preparation
preparation for seshrdlu cmfwypcmf
for service roust be then the acquis
ltlon of knowledge and the develop
ment of character. Knowledge is
the result of curiosity, a desire to
know, and however rudimentary at
first, belongs to the earlier years of
life; and education must be largely
concerned in converting this vague
curiosity into a keen and intelligent
interest in men and things, and in
equipping the mind with the mater
lals which are indespenslble for fur
ther progress. Our knowledge must
be a means to increase efficiency
Any education stands condemned
that produces inefficient men. We
must be taught "to do" as well as
one to have mere knowledge. Abe
Ruef, the convicted political boss of
San Francisco, is a man of great
learning but of very small character.
In order that we may have our serv
ice directed into the correct path,

ed by strong character. We are
told that conduct Is three-fourths of
life, and conduct is the expression of
character. The primary requisites
of a wholesome education, therefore,
should be the acquisition of good
habits, the surroundings of clean at
mosphere, the Influence of strong
personality and the enthusiasm of
college workers upon the individual.
The youth in college is in the most
critical stage of his life, and the few
years spent In the University have
a marked influence on his mature
character.
Character to a large degree is de
pendent upon inherited tendencies.
But there are some qualities of char
acter that training may develop. The
power of initiative, that force which
Impels the individual to take an act
ive part in affairs, and to direct oth
ers into a path of effectual service,
may be developed .by an association
with class and school activities. Af
ter one leaves school, he will put the
same principles into civic affairs
that be used in class affairs. Anoth
er acquired characteristic is self-con
trol. It is the instrument which reg
ulates the speed of the individual In
his service for others and keeps him
in harmony with the machinery of
society. A third characteristic, so
vitally important to the faithful ser
vant, is love. In order that one may
serve his felolws cheerfully and ef
ficiently, he must be endowed with
a love for them. And where 1b this
bo easily developed as at the Univers
ity where one Is associated with bo
many friends and fellow-workers?
The question arises, How much
training is necessary to prepare us
for efficient service? This depends
entirely upon the individual. A col
lege education should be the means
whereby the youth of the land dem
onstrates his power, intellectually,
to survive or perish. A college
training should give us power to fo-
us attention on the work in mind;
power or concentration; it snouia
give us power to so distribute our
information that it is readily acces
sible; it should enable us to retain
facts easily; it should give us power
of expression, of stating what we
think with exactness, licidity and
energy; it should give us power of
appreciation of all that is fine and
beautiful; it should give us ability
to discriminate. In other words a
college education should prepare us
to think and it should give us a true
appreciation of life. Every moment
of our lives we are required to ex
ercise the power of choice which
means that in order to render effic
ient service we must be able to think.
Before we can choose wisely, we
must think.
Each study has its influence upon
the mind and the individual is en
lightened only by a course that is
liberal. In the leading universities
of both Europe and America, greater
requirements in liberal education
are being demanded as pre-requlsltes
to a professional course. A special
course when once undertaken com
pels a close study of Itself and
leaves little time for other study. An
unenlightened specialist Is narrow,
and he who becomes an exclusive
specialist 1b usually unenlightened.
Even though a person has completed ;
the liberal arts course and entered
upon his specialty, it is altogether
probable that he will at times desire
something entirely different from his
specialty, which will give him a men
tal relief and thus make him a better
specialist.
No one kind of training Is a guar
anty of success. The good or bad
fortune of personal affiliation, of
health, of personal charm, and per
sonal advantage or disadvantage may
mar or make ones success of serv
ice. But the fact is that when po
sitions or great responsibility, wheth-

er in the business or professional
service, send out the call for help,
they usually demand not merely men
of professional training, but require
men of the broadest and most mature
minds. No man can get more for
his services than the value he re
turns to his employer. The special
training for a given business or pro
fessional service is, of course, a pre
requisite which can only be attained
at the cost of longer time and subse
quent effort of the student who,
from the beginning, seta out for the

Fellow-classmates and friends: We
are about to enter upon our field of
serv'ce. When we look out across
that field, there arises upon our vis
Ion the gigantic mountain of life,
upon whose lofty peak is located the
summit-house of success. As we
travel along life's mysterious path
way, through the valley of despair,
and ascend this rugged mountain in
our attemDt to reach the summit-
bouse, we shall find our way con
fronted with the most dangerous and
disheartening obstacles. Hardships
and disappointments will attack us
on every hand, and those who sacri
fice their training and in so doing
lose sight of their ideals, do not
heed to the guidance of character,
will be overcome by defeat. Upon
our departure we must be courag
eous; we snail not nave to travel our
way alone. There are many who
have preceded us who will guide us
in danger, sympathize with us in
sorrow, and rejoice in our success.
As we go forth upon this long and
toilsome journey, sonsclous of its
magnitude and with a determination
for victory, we have the best wishes
of our fellow-students and the Uni
versity.
