"Lot us dream with .conviction in our dreams; let us dream till our dreams come true. For the God of things as we dream them Is the God of things as they are." Such was the theory oxpoundod by Prof. 'H. H. Powers, traveler, scholar, and art lecturer, at convocation yes terday morning. The Interest in the speaker and his serlos of lectures on "Michael Angolo" was Indicated to some extent by the large audience which gathered to hear him talk on "The True Faith," In which ho dis cussed dreams and dreamers. Dr. Powers said: "The world has been cursed by dreams as well aB blessed. There are many dreams of wloso Influence we are glad to be rid. We are glad that the dreams of Louis XIV and of phil Hp II are past. Wo are glad, I say, that It is over. "In a sense wo are moving away from our dreams. In these modern times wo are replacing dreams wltlj realities. Wo are proud to look things In iho face. We are proud to ldok'at history with .a critical eye, seeking only for its realities; at science Id the same spirit, following Darwjn : that Darwin who searched not for what he expected or wished to find, but for realities. This is the glory of our times; we have come to an ago of realities. "All this is contrary to the Idea of the ancient phllosophor, who said that there was a good time coming when men should have more and better dreams. Bu$ Is there no middle ground? Is there no place for our dreams in an age of realities? Sure ly there is, for -when we have no place for dreams we lose much that is of value. ' "There Is no reason 'or us ito know our past unless it ibe-that-jby It we' may know our, future. .We study, hte tory only because It repeats itself' time and time again. We study it that we may know in order q "fore-, . know., ' "But we may .turn this proverb- about we may foresee in 'order to see, foreknow in order to know. Al most no great discovery has ' ever, ' been made that was not the Tesult of some man's dream. We lose die value of .many things simply because many, men see but do .not foresee.
