FINCH On CoEDUCATroN.
In response John A. Finch. '63. of Indian.

Finch began by saying:
tits a delicate thing to welcome the coming
and speed the parting guest. To say 20 one who

full or bad promise when Wabash enters the
race with the high schools OF the State. There
is q sentimental suggestion that brothers and
sisters should be educated together should, as
the phrase Is. have the same opportunity. To
me this Is an fmpoSslbility. In matters OF edu-
cation, physiological impossibility. TO master
q well arranged curriculum In well ordered
college Is simply matter OF strength. Hard
study requires rugged health, a capacity for pro-
loDged effort without consequent exhaustion. It
Is not at all question of mental capacity.
