Manchester college opened with the an
nual field aports, which extended over
the entire day. The interest in these was
not quite UP to former years, the first
commencement having detracted little
from the enthusiasm usually accom-
panying these exercises. The pro-
gramme of contests, with winners and
records, is as follows: Mile walk,

The Mac of 80. edited by the junior
class, made its appearance yesterday.
1t is well edited and filled with hits on
faculty and students. The hazing of
young Irwin, which caused such great
sensation last winter, is told in three
scenes. The first represents six boys
with clubs and pitchforks marching
through a binding storm. Scene
two represents fierce strug-
gle over one man, and scene
three the same youth bowling before an
angry ruler. The cuts in the book are
we'll executed and true to the scenes
about the campus and vicinity. 1t is
the best the Macs have ever done,
and reflects credit upon its corps of
P. kirkwood, J. l.. Underwood, NJ. A.
Clark, A. A. Randall and William Pitts.
The senior address to the graduates
was given at s o'clock last evening by
Hon Eugene Nj. Wilson, of Minneapo-
lis. Following is a summary Of his re-
marks:
y come to give you some words of cheer
as you pass out of your college life. Thus
far you have been preparing for the life
which YOU are about to enter upon. While
you have had the advantages of college life
you have also the obligations. You will soon
be called upon to choose profession in life.
This is one of the most important decisions
you will ever have to make. Examine well
your capacity. Determine well the road
which you ought to pursue, and it will save
you many extra steps. Your choice Will make
great difference with YOU. progress. BY

But whatever you choose follow it
well, and make up in earnest work what you
lack in adaptability. If you 60 into law there
is perpetual contest. That IS a profession
in which you cannot succeed without merit.
Man is brought in contact with fellow law

petual student. You owe it to your clients,
and if you are on the bench you owe it to the
people. Ii you follow the medical profession
you will meet with responsibilities. l need
not tell you that as you become an instructor
you must pursue your studies with the great
est diligence. Whatever may be your calling
remember that there is no employment in
which your education will not come into
play. Even in war, where it Is supposed
that valor alwoys conquers, you will find that
unintelligent valor is always conquered by
the intelligent Here the speaker illustrated
his point by referring to the strife between
the Monitor and the Merrimac.
Continuing, he said: There are classes
OF men in this world who are denominated
law honest;' but this is not what we want.
A man must be honest not because the law
requires ii, but because it is right to be. Do
not be impatient to gather riches. 1 believe
1t is difficult for rich boy to become

duty. Earn riches and gather them by all
