speaker thought that the evil is one
that may be grappled with, and his
main hope rested i'm his faith in the
working-man, if rightly treated.
Education for the working-man is
his one remedy. Educate his head
and his heart educate him mental
ly, morally, religiously, and there
is yet no ground for fear; fail to do
this and you have an incalculable,
irresistible force, which, uncon-
trolled, can only be put to rest when
it has buried itself in the ruins which
itself has made.
All this was expressed in terse
and forcible language and delivered
with an eloquence of expression and
grace of gesture which would have
done credit to many congressman
or senator.
When we listen to Messrs. Cox
and Allen we become convinced
that the coming generation will owe
heavy debt Of gratitude to our
university for having furnished it
with men capable OF shaping its
policy and moulding its thoughts
for good.
