adieu, the fond memories Of the past bring
tears to his eyes and what once seemed
commonplace or distssteful, becomes in
vested with the sacred associations Of days
never to return.
As young man looks throgh the loop
hole Of college life upon the distant world,
all ablaze with the contending interests
Of ideas and men, equally restless, life
puts on phase often tinged with the
mellowsd light Of romance. There lies
the field Of his future tolls and triumphs.
There lie the various professions in which
he win soon find men, whom he sees not
frpm college life, ready to contest with
him every step which he takes to push his
fortunes upwards to the front ranks Of
life. Standing amidst the scenes of his
college triumphs among those whom, per
hsps, he has outvied in the glorious emu
lation Of the class room and the lyeeum
hall, he fOrgets that in the world before
him be viii find men who, though not col
1egs bred, have sll their wits and fscul-
ties sharpened by the harsh discipline
Of the world, and are ready to tear the
laurels from his brow.
AyOung man from college has many un-
just suspicious to encounter among men
whose early life was deprived of the same
training. They, therefore, take delight in
pluoking college plumage away, and often
speak sneeringly of tie "yOung upsiart
from college" who comes in their midst.
Young oOIlegisus frequently foster the
jsslOusyIby forgetting that, after sll, they
know but little of the great world, and
that it is particularly dangerous for them
to be putting on airs" and airing their
superior wisdom.
A modest department. backed up by
merit must win in ihs race. Egotism
and vanity get fearfully snubbed.
The graduate must not forget, however,
that il be has been pFoperlE trainad- -a..A
has- lsslasu Jhe art Of thinking rather |
than the art Of slufing the mind with
mere facts, if ne has been taught that to
think well and to act we'll are the essen
tials Of success then, the education he
has achieved viii be Of immense advan-
tsge to him.
AS society grows older the professions
require greater talent and greater know
ledge in order to succeed. The man who
would be at the head Of the law or the min
istry twenty years hence, must be man
Of greater talents and acquisitions than
the leaders Of to day. On the borders Of
civilization, in the western territories,
mediOcriiy may even now gain the lead.
The possibility Of suooess diminishes, how
ever, as you move eastward, until you
reach a point where only men Of talent
and education can stand at the head Of
any professional calling.
College life has many charm about IT.
the memory Of which will be sweet in
coming years.
Ali the youthful prsnks, the tender
drsamings, the funny adventures, the
esting5 and jOkings, gvstifed ambition,
aad disappointed hopes of college days,
are not without their important results in
after life. The venerable traditions, per-
Petuated from cIsss to class, the rich
stories Of professors, the intrigues Of the
classroom and the society, the romantic
eOrrespOndenoes with bewitohing young
ladies the ramblings among Libraries, the
long winter nights when the present and
future were forgotten in the poetry, fiction,
philosophy, or history Of the past, all that
makes the soul os college life, 20 with
the young oOiegisn into his coming years,
and make up the roil ont Of which grows
