business? There are half million students

HAYNES HONEST MAN.
Two elegant selections of song by the
Harvard Quartet very pleasantly opened
the first entertainment of the afternoon.
George Vincent then stepped forward and
introduced DIR. Emery J. HAYNES, of Bos-
ton, as the modern Diogenes, whose hobby
was 'The Honest Man," and who addressed
the audience upon this subject. 1--WE talk
so much about the good life, the religious
life, and this talk goes on through the world
without any effect. Take up some definite
thought and labor for its end and success.
An honest man is be, whom we can believe
when he speaks. Some men are like lead,
who, when they come in contact
with others, turn things black, while
others glisten like silver. IIe that
made the eye shall see. He that made the
ear shall hear. It is foolish to think that
we can do anything without discovery, Tor
there is One who sees and hears everything.
The foundation and consideration Of our
every act should be ''seen." There are
ghosts in every mans heart. He is secretly
and quietly tortured with the fact, I am
seen, am known. Every man who is hap
py says with joy, Thou seest, thou
knowest.'
ALL CHILDREN LIE NATURALLY.
at is self-defense 1t is animalism. When
the child grows older he relies on himself
whether he tell the truth or not. Every
things rests with the young man and young
woman. The things that men live by are
acquired before they are 80 years OF age.
Young men that are doing the work, who
fought the battle OF Marathon and saved
Greece; little band of young men who
fought the battle of Thermopyle and
saved the civilization of the West;
small army of young men.
Cicero held all Rome in his hands when he
was SO. Julius Cesar was only II when he
attracted the attention OF the Imperial City.
Napoleon had not reached 80 when he
crossed the Alps. John Wesley held all
England in his hands while yet young
man. General Grant was only 43 when he
became Commander in Chief of the Army
of the United States. Edison was hardly
past boyhood when he conceived the idea OF
the two messages running the opposite way
upon a single wire.
THE PERIOD OF ACHIEVEMENT.
"How is it that ore man succeeds in life
while another makes fool of himself? 1t is
in the man. He must be honest and sincere
himself. Like likes like. He must choose
sui generis. Love is one of the great factors
of success and happiness. Young man, no
matter how muscular. how Intellectual you
are, how blossoming your hopes, remember
the mother and father who love
you as fervidly as when a child. Men
think they know it all and think they want
it all as the next corollarv. No matter what
you lose do not lose your heart. Honesty
is the best policy is an old saw that never
cut stick off yet. Be honest for the sake
of honesty and of God. Do the thing and
do it we'll. Do the godlike; do it from the
highest motive and may the Lord grant you
a place in the better world"
DR.. Haynes is rapid, extemporaneous
speaker. easy and graceful in his move
ments on the platform and pleasing to
hear. Each sentence Is simple and forcible;
each argument clear, and he deals in no
wide range generalities or particulars, un-
less it be graphically told story to illus
trate the cogency of his reasoning.
THE AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.
At 8 o'clock Prof. W. E. Waters de-
livered most interesting lecture on the
American School at Athens" It has
long been the opinion of American students
of Grecian literature and archaeology that
we must study Greece itself. This opinion
gradually deepened into conviction. Soon
eminent scholars became fervid in their ad-
vocacy of American School at Athens for
the study of the 1ne1haustible treasures of
Greece. Preliminaries were soon begun
in form of called meeting of those inter
ested. At this assembly statements snd plans
were drawn up and a circular letter
sent to large number of the most infuen-
tial colleges in the United States. October
1, 1882, the proposed sc ool became an
actual existence, supported by nine prom
inent American colleges. The institution
began under favorable auspices. Several
students were entered the first year with the
celebrated Prof Goodwin as director. A
good building was secured, and valuable
library of 1000 volumes. The supporting
colleges the second year numbered IA, and
membership now amounted to seven en-
thusiastic and energetic men. Each made
speciality OF some department and was
indefatigable in his explorations. Each
prepared an elaborate thesis for publica-
tion, thus giving American students the
benefit of their Investigations.
THE PLAN OF WORK IS VARIED,
readings, discussions, lectures by the di-
rector and excursions into the surrounding
country for original investigations. In the
course of the few years of its existence the
reputation of the school was favored by the
constant accessions to its library; by the
high grade of work done and by the charac-
ier of the directors who governed it. More
over, the Grecian Government had
with great generosity presented valuable
site for the erection of building
more suitable. One was erected which is an
honor to the institution. 1t is Oriental in
structure, with fiat roof and open court. Its
accommodations are ample. Besides the
sleeping and study rooms are a photograph
gallery, library and guest chambers. Steps
have been made to secure permanent di-
rector and endowment. Forty thousand dol
lars have already been raised. In the eight
years of its history only 30 students have
been catalogued, but much. has been gained.
The whole subject or Grecian sciences, arts
and archaeology has received thrilling inl-
petus. The enthusiasm OF the students who
have been drinking at the fountain head is
as magnetic as the light.
THE EVENING SESSIONS.
At o'clock the graduates and under
graduates of the college held a meeting in
the Chautauqua Literary and Social Circle
building. Points of interest were d iscussed
and permanent organization formed.
In the evening at o'clock Frederick
Starr continued his lectures on "Dress,"
