AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Henry w. Rolfe of Chicago Lectures
at Stanford.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Oct. l.
Professor Henry W. Rolfe of Chicago Uni
versity spoke in the chapel this morning,
His topic being "The American Spirit y
Throughout his discourse Professor Rolfe
maintained that there was an American
spirit; that this spirit was characterized
by the people in peace more than in war.
THE literature of America he said, lis
characteristic of her people. and is en-
bodied in the writing of such men as EN-
erson and Hawthorne-simple direct and
free from tradition. Americans are as a
rule inclined too much toward boasting.
When we really find ourselves we will be
too busy to wonder what the world thinks
of us. The American spirit is relatively
Interchangeable, and makes democracy diff
ferent here from what it is anywhere else.
AS soon as class will sympathiZe with
class the strife between labor and capital
will cease and perfect harmony ensue.
There is something that we may call the
American spirit, and something that we
may be proud of. Let us feel that this
spirit imposes on us an obligation not only
to think but also to act-to consider the
rights of man with man, labor with cap
ital, the duty of stronger nations toward
the weaker. The Golden Rule is applied
by putting ones self in anothers place
and looking at the facts of the case with
out prejudice"

venerable skipper of the barkentine j. M.
