Prof. Beverage introduced the speaker
as man of whom New England is
proud, a man at the head of the oldest
and most famous institution of learn
ing, whose influence is second To none
in the halls OF learning. President W.
j. Tucker spoke on one of the most
vital questions which confronts our
education system, namely, the value
and the lint of the principle of util-
ity in education. When Thoreau
graduated at Harvard. about 60 years
ago, he made a statement which
seemed oven then quite extraordinary,
the world is more beautiful than use
full. Every graduate since Thoreau
has witnessed a marvellous advance in
tue USEFUL drtS. Inc present demand Is
that education should be more practI
cal. There are limits in this principle
of utility. For these requirements
are growing so much more exactinr.
There are fewer and fewer years for
people who cannot do some one thing
well. Society is outgrowing the in
competent. Intelligence must be
served by intelligence. Not more in
dustry but more of the quantity of
calculation. 1t is just as necessary tn
study the market as il is to till the
field. Study changes the character of
the occupation. Competency. the
power 10 do a certain thing we'll. is
the great industrial virtue. But If
this principle of utility protects soci
ETY., much more does il protect the in
div idual.

ternational or political subject is made,

It is no small temptation in coun-
try like this where 40 many great Tor
tunes have been made in the last ~
years and where there is no bar
against young men. to wish to contend
with the horses without much pre-
vious running with the footmen but
nothing is gained by going rapidly at
first, and then later to have to pull up
and 60 more slowly or stop altogether
Men say they have not time to study
and practise and prepare when they
ought to know that they have not time
not to do SO. For each and all there
are infinite possibilities. Each one is
child OF God and for all the oppor-
tupities are endless. II is only the
weaklings ann cravens and towards
that blame their weapons in the bat-r
tie and grumblc and complain Of thei
tasks. The man or woman who Is IN
dead earnest in this battle OF life
spends little time whimperipg aud
wishing for different circumstances.
but like the kings son who snatched
up the weapon the craven had flung
away, they hew their way to success
and usefulness. They take their dis
appointments and mould them into
graccs they take their hard circum.
stances and twist them into sinews OF
steel. No, il is not u question OF
"blue blade" or this blunt thing"
but it 10 whether one be a craven or a
kings son.
Remember then, my young friends,
these two things carry them into your
lives and let them strengthen and
comfort you: remember you are enter
ing the ranks in war where there IL
no discharge. There is only one way
to live and that is the Christian way,
not as though life were checkered with
squares, some black aud some white.
but as though every day and every
stroke of work were part of the next
day and part OF your other work. No
there is no discharge in that war until
the Great Captain bids you enter with
the only words of discharge noble men
or women will stop to hear, We'll
done, thou good and faithful servant.
And then remember that you are
Kings Sons and Kings Daughters,
and may your Father, God Almighty,
bless you and keep you. May all good
angels watch over you and may you
realize your hopes and at last find an
entrance into the Eternal City of God.
