Chancellor Goddard's Remarks.

After the singing OF the Doxology
Chancellor Goddard arose and said;
"The falling OF the autumn leaves re-
minds us that the days Of vacation and
recreation are over and the days have
come OF strenuous effort to prepare
ourselves for the duties Of life While
others will give you advice, az chan
cellor I venture a single suggestion.
The Victorian era il distinguished by
invention and by a great increase I'm
the mass Of learning. Young men are
liable to fan into the error of crOwding
into their brains a great mass OF facts
for an education, 10 is precisely I'm
proportion as your brains have the
mower 10 assimilate facts that you are
educated. The great object OF educa-
tion Is to train men as 90 their rela-
lions 10 society. Adam Bede said that
a good carpenter is doing Gods SER
vice. The principal office OF education
is to inspire men with high sense OF
duty. n Is lack Of this that imposes
upon society the medical quack. the
sbystcr lawyer and those money sharks
who seek 10. accumufare the shekels
even al the expense OF the widow. I
will say Of the man who stands before
YOU that he is worthy OF your obedi-
ence and support. Give him these and

rood books and good mind"
