One reason why I so thoroughly believe In tbe athletic spirit at Harvard Is because the athletic spirit la essentially democratic. Our chief Intercut should not lie In the great champions In sport. On the con trary, our concern should he moat of all to widen the base, the foundation In ath letic sports; to encourage In every way a healthy rivalry which shall give to the largest possible number of students the chance to take part In vigorous out door games.

There are few things les desirable thsn the arid cultivation, the learning and re finement which lead merely to that Intel lectual conceit which makes a man In a democratic community like ours hold him self akwf from his fellows and pride him self upon the weakness which he mistakes for supercilious strength. Small la the use of those educated men who In after life rre-et no one but themselves, and gather In pn.Hore to discuss wrong conditions which they do not understand and to ad vocate remedies which have the prime de- rect or being unworkable. The Judgment on practical affairs, political and social, of educated men who ken aloof from the conditions of practical life, la apt to be valueless to those other men who do really wage effective war agnlnst the forces of baaenrse and of evil. From the political standpoint education Is a harm and not a benefit to the men whom It serves as an excuse for refusing to mingle with their fellows snd for standing aloof from the broad sweep of our natkinnl life In a curiously Impotent spirit of fsncK super iority. Tho political wrongheadeflnesa, of such men is quite ss great ss that of wholly uneducated men; and no peorle could be less truatworthy as critics and' advisers. The educated man who seeks to console himself for his own lack of the robust qualities necessary to bring success In American politics by moaning over the degeneracy of the times instead of trying to better them, bv railing at the men who do the actual work of political llfe Instead of trying hlmsnlf to do the work. Is a poor creature, hnd, so far as his frebl- powers avail. t a dnmnge snd not a hplp to' the country. Tou may come far short of this disagreeable standard and still he a rather useless member of society. Tour educa tion, your cultivation, wlH not help vou if you mnke the mistake of thinking that It Is a substitute for Instead of sn sddltlon to thoa qualities which In the struggle of llfe brings success to the ordinary roan without your advantages. Privilege of College Training. Tour college training confers no privilege upon you save as usted by the use you make of it It puts upon you the obligation to show yourselves better able to do cer tain things than your fellows who have not had your advantages. If It has served merely to make you believe that you are to be excused from effort In after life, that you are-to be excused from contact with the actual world of men and events, then It will-prove a curae and not a bless In If, on ths other hand, you treat your education aa a weapon the more In vour hands, a weapon to fit you to do better In tne nara struggle or effort, and not as excusing you In anr wav from taicins n,rt In practical fashion In that struggle, then it will be a benefit tn vou Let each of you college men remember In after life that In the fundamentals he Is very much like hla fellows who have not been In college, and that If he Is to achieve results. Instead of confining him. self exclusively to disparagement of other men who have achieved them, he must manage to come to some kind of working agreement with these fellows of his. There are times 01 course when It may be the highest duty of a citizen to stand alone or practically alone. But If thls man s normal attitude If normally he Is unsble to work In combination with a considerable Dony or nis reiiows it Is safe to set him down ss unfit for useful service In a dem ocracy. In popular government results worth having can only be achieved by men who combine worthy ideals with practical good sense; who are resolute to accomplish good purposes, but who can accommodate themselves to the give and take necessary where work has to be done, as slmost all Importsnt work must necessarily be done, by combination. Moreover, remember that normally the prime object of political life should be to achieve results and not merely to Issue manifestos save of course where the Issuance of such manifestoes helps to achieve the results. It Is a "ery bad thing to he morally callous, for moral callousness Is disease. But Inflammation of the con science may be Just ss unhealthy so far as the public is concerned; and if a man's conscience is alwsys telling him to do some thing foolish he will do well to mistrust its wordings, 'ine religious man who la most useful Is not he whose sole care Is to sava his own soul, but the man whose religion bids hlrn strive to advance decency and clean living and to make the world a better place for his fellows to live In; and all this Is Just as true of the ordinary citl len in the performance of the ordinary duties of political life. Philippines mm lllastrat loa. During the last few years much good has been done to the people of the Phil ippines; but this has been done, not by those who merely Indulged in the personal luxury of advocating for the Islands a doctrinal liberty which would have meant their Immediate and Irretrievable ruin, but by those who have faced facts as they actually were, rememberlna- the nrovesn that teaches us that in the long run even tne most - uncomfortable truth Is a safer companion than- the pleasantest falsehood. It ts these men, the men who-with short comings and stumblings, yet did the dutv of the moment, though that duty was hard snd often disagreeable, and not the men who confined themselves to idle talk of no matter how high-sounding a nature, who have done real good to the Islands. These are the men who have brought Jus tice ss between man and man; who are building roads; who havs Introduced schools; who, gradually, with patience and firmness, are really fitting the Islanders for self-government ... Bo- it Is with the great questions which group tnemseives round the control of cor porations m, tne interest of the public. There has been a curious revival of the doctrine of State rights In connection with these questions, by the people who know that the states cannot with Justice to both sides practically control the corporations, and who therefore advocate such control necause tney do not venture to express their real wish, which Is that there shall be no control at all. Honest and fair dealing railway corporations will gain and not lose by adequate federal control; most em phatically It Is both the duty and the In terest of our people to deal fairly with such Corporations and tn see that a ,.ra. mlum Is put upon the honest management of tham, snd that those who Invest In tnem are amply protected. But those who invoae tne doctrine of state rights to pro tect state corporate creations in nra,Lr. activities extended through other states are as shortsighted aa those who once invoked me same aoctrine to protect the special lavehoUHng interest The states have shown that they have not the ahllltv to curh tha power of syndicated wealth, and therefore In ths Interest of the people It must be uone uj national action. Our present warfare la against snect.i privilege, im men many or tnem, 1 am sorry to say, college men who are prompt i.roaa asaumi every practical means which can be devised for achieving h.

All tha credit for the good thus accomplished In the public life of this decade belongs to thoe who have done affirmative work In such matters as those I have enumerated above, and not to those who, with more or less futility, have sought to hamper and obstruct the work that has thus been done.
