COLLEGE OF LAW ADDRESS.
The annual address before the Col
lege of Law was delivered Monday
evening at the Oliver by Gov Chas
S. Thomas of Colorado HIh subjee
of Fellowship'-Alumnl Banquet-Phi Beta
Kappa Initiation Ivy Day.
The annual alumni uddresn was In
stituted that those university alumni
who had achieved success in their
callings may be secured to speak to
their lellow graduates. The address
lor this year was given in University
Soldiers' Memorial Hall last night.
There was not as largo an. audience
present as might have been desired,
but those who did attend 'were given
a rare treat. The exercises opened
with two organ selections by Director
Kimball. This" "is the first time tho
alumni havo had tho opportunity of
hearing their organ in its new quar
but adjusting them to their spiritual
possessions?"
After the nddroHH tho alumni passed
Into the armory and seated thomsolvon

was "The Modern Lawyer." Governor J ters.
s
Chemist r
Thomas is one of the most successful
lawyers in the west. His address was
both witty and logical and he held the
close attention of his audience
throughout. He traced the differences
between the lawyer of the past and
of today. The profession is being af
fected by the spirit of combination
and concentration. New conditions
have made the modern lawyer more
practical perhaps nt the expense of hbi
professional side. Honesty, Integrity
and self-reliance are the requisites for
a good lawyer Expansion ha brought
new questions to be decided by th J
Judiciary. Whether the republic as
founded by our fathers will remain
unchanged depends largely on th? law
yer of tomorrow.

The speaker of the evening, Rever
end R. L. Marsh of Burlington, Iowu,
and a graduate in the class of '84, was
then introduced by Frank H. Woodrf,
the president of the Alumni Associa
tion. Mr. Marsh took for his subject "Tho
Ground of Fellowship "
He compared the experiences of the
country boy who travels for the flr.st
time and sees the world as it is, to
the human race as it has come to the
realization of its place in the universe
In other words, how the human race
has for the first time come to feel in
a scientific sense "at home."
The world has three great teachers
u-ience religion, and practical ex
perience. Practical experience las
boon teaching tho same truths that re
ligion and science have been teach
ing. Science has enlarged our world
for us. It has at the same time em
phasized the importance of the Indi
vidual. Science has taught tho utility
of all things. Religion taught thobo
same truths long before they were de
duced and shaped by tho mind of tho
scientist.
Religion is now at least learning to
discern between essentials and non
essentials. It Is coming to a realiza
tion that It must go hand In hand with
science and not stand as Its enemy.
Science makes literalism In religion
impossible. It shows. the poetry of religion.
"Creation by calendar days, a gen
eration of millenarlans, a sun stopped
in mid-heavens, tho beginning of lan
guage" in a spectacular confusion of
tongues these lose the character or
historical narratives, cease to be tho
occasion of bitter controversy and be
come the common possession of 'all
students of llterature,and eacbTstory
in its degree, sources of religious In
spiration." "Science, religion, and practical ex
perience unite in proclaiming that no
man lives to himself. Every human
being has some relation to every oth
er human being.
"The ground of fellowship Is that
which all men have In common."
"We have our animal life in com
mon. We came into this world by the
game door; we travel through It over
-tho same road, and we are moving to
ward a common goal. The desire for
r justice Is also fundamental in human
nature and common to all men.
"To what better use can universi
ties be devoted than the effort to fix
jthe thoughts of men upon and teach
em to appreciate, appropriate, and
