Fitch's excellent sarcastic humor:
"Vo are now approaching Harvard
University. In it, brains and money
are more intimately acquainted than
anywhere else in the ' country. No
where . else enn you get so much
knowledge for 'so little money, or so
little knowledge for so much money.

six thousand students, who pursue
knowledge with ponies, traps, four-Iu--hands,
steam yachts, and automobiles.
For all its.vast wealth it is. very demo

ADDRESS AT CONVOCATION RE
LIQION AND EDUCATION. , .
Noted Minister of ffrooklyn, New York J
Gives Interesting TalkHis. Plea:
"A Fair Chance for Religion." '
"Life from tho cradlo to tho grave
is education. It is constantly seek
ing larger conquests, opening new
fields for development, and endeavor
ing to better the condition of maiu
kind.
"But wliat Is education from d prac
tical point of view? Education 1b the
power to llvq In our work. It Is !hot
the mere acquirement of a mass of
facts. Education is more than that.
It consists in fitting men to deal with
llfo as masters.
"Students como to. this university for
a specific purpose. They deslro to
excell in some one thing. It has been
said that most failures result from dis
appointed mediocrity. Tho man who
can get his chin above the level of the
common mass Is bound to succeed.
Yet I trust you also have tho real ideal
of life at heart. I trust that you
aim for something bettor tomorrow
as woll aB today.

llgion a part of our higher education.
