A thorough general mental discipline is neces

A thorough general mental discipline is neces-
sary for this. A fundamental education IS that
which tends to keep the mind In Its normal
connection with the highest aims and objects
of Thought. Nothing is better calculated than
the classics to do this. A thorough education
keeps up the connection of the present with
the progress and attachments OF the past. The
classics give this historical CONTINUITY, and still
keep pace with the present 1t y, Is True mat the
college must be progressive or die. put lt can
be classic and progressive. The once OF the
University is to connect the past ana the flu
ture. Classical culture will always pe Important
and necessary. though other methods OF culture
may be introduced. Changes must De made
with canton. A full course of scientific, tech
Illogical and professional instruction must be
added to the college work, but the addition
must be gradual Let Bowdoln Oollege be en-
larged without STINT She can never furnish
too much provision for scientific culture But
still let her cling to the classics ihere need
be no hostility between the two. Let us not
expect too much from the college. Other agen-
cies are at work, which have assumed some of
its duties. Its past is secure Its present is
full of glorious promise. With the arrange
ments now in progress its future is assuredly
bright The speaker closed with words Of
compliment to the faculty.
