TALKING To THE STUDENTs.
PRECEDENT White Gives Advice 10 the
High school Pupils.


High school Pupils.
After the regular opening exercises had taken
place IN the hall OF the High school yesterday
morning, Principal Paul introduced to the pupils
Prot. Andrew ID. White, for so long the president
Of Cornell University. Professor White said:
Il have never appeared before an audience of
this kind without feeling OF awe. You may
think ta.s statement overstrained but 1t IL fact
that there is no audience that takes greater
hold OF my feelings than one OF young men and
women Just preparing for life. IL has been my ex-
p-r,rnce during my career to stand before men OF
distinction and power-one OF them, who has
rl.sd for many years over millions OF people is
lying on his death-bed-and Yet / can say In en-
Tire sincerity that such presenees have never
made me feel as do on such occasions as the
present.
TIE RISING GENERATION.
why: you may ask IL is because after all OF
the men Of my generation have seen the things
that We see to-day. you are to see that which we
shall never see. Men OF my time have seen and
talked about the things or the nineteenth century,
but you are to witness the happenings OF the
twentieth century. You are 70 this country

Ivy can be NJ better than It's men and women. and

vantagcs shall Mt yourselves FOR the duties resting
upon YOU Let me give you one or two counseIS:

and accomplish very much. Therefore. the first
thing Is o. see that your physical Lealth is good

woman Is any better than their wlll-power.

The difference 20 be noticed between indiyid-
raj rlen lies in the difference between their wills
The first thing TO cultivate IS your Will

class opportunity 70 exercise your wills. All that
have said VIII apply 70 both sexes But here Is
something that you Young Ilen might listen to: II

tainG disturb your attention. Every one OF the
Professions Is grand one; whatever a noble man

The SMART NAN.
somehow or other some o. the most brilliant
ard gifted men, SPEAKERS and writer's have not
fully Succeeded They have come up 70 a certain
point and stopped. The trouble f. In their char
acters IN the building up OF their inner natures.
There Is nO man earth weak as the purely
smart man. There Is such 4 thing as being 100
