They not only laid out many open spaces. but
provided boulevards and parkwavs between

they knew" thew sought only to provide

THE MEN THE WORLD NEEDS.

Sunday, June 1s. was the beginning OF class

great work might we'll be applied--but no
other, 1t Is safe to say. presents the same
claim to popular reverence and interest as
l Harvard. No other has Just such story be-
hind II. and certainly no other Inns had the
story 40 well told in prose and verse. The
venerable institution IS SO hale. SO vigorous,
so well kept. Four hundred soniors met at
the old pump n ear Hollis hall and marched to
the chapel, on this Sunday In June. to hear
| he hpcc laureate sermon. Four hundred men
In the senior class means n grand university.
| The sermon was delivered by Rev. Mt
| Crothers of Cambridge, from these wordsi "A
man shall be n hiding place from the winds
and covert from the tempest, MS rivers OF
water In a dry place and shadow OF great
rock In weary land"
The application OF the text was descrp-
ton of the sort of man the graduate should
be after he has gone out into the world and
we'll away from Harvard There is consider
able Oriental imagery in the brief verse used
as text. but It is all plain and clear enough.
As q hiding place from the wind and n covert
from the storm and river OF water In dry
burning desert where there Is no other shade,
so should man be to his fellow creatures
lie ought to be. TO uce an image not drawn
from tho Orient but from the steamboat busi- |
ness, a man to tic to.
The ideal the preacher WAS talking about 10
the man who has been made by nature, edu-
cation or grace a sort OF guide ana consider
OF the rest; who can cheer and brace up the
others; who says. when tho desert sands are
hot and apparently endless. well, know
where there is water and big rock for shade,
beside, and so never say die" Tho man the
world wants Is no who can md water In
dry time and does not propose to monopoiize
the well or tho irrigating ditch for himself
I, does not follow that this sort of man need
b. great, though It Is quite necessary that he
should be good. The preacher OF tho bacca-
laureate sermon laid out these definitions:
THE world has q great many places for tho
common man. and the uncommon man can
readily make q place for himself. but alas for
tho man who has been unmade and not made
over. alas for the man whose tastes have been
refined willis his will has not been strength
ened: who has learned to criticise others. but
has not learned TO create anything for him
self"
It IL 70 bs hoped that the young men who
listened to this baecniaureate sermon laid up
It's precepts In good and honest hearts. and
