moment. 1t is rather the result of intsli-
gent effort, controlling the entire life, physi-
cal, intellectual, and moral, in the mos, mi
mute particulars, and through series Of
years, with reference to the lofty end sought
The student is encouraged. therefore. to
place before himself as high an ideal Of
manhood as is possible to him, and to bring
every thought of every day into subsection

viction that whoever is impure and untrue

true when he has passed beyond college

pressed himself freely relative to his ideas
of that fever-breeding country. He said
that Il was no fit place for Americans TO
