LITERARY ADDRESS.
The Craven Memorial Hall was crowded
tonight when Mr., Hamilton Wright Mabie,
of New York, editor of the Outlook, and
one of Americas foremost essayists, de-
livered the literary address. 1t was a
scholarly gem.
MP. MABIE'S ADDRESS.
Mr.. Hamilton Wright Wabie's address
was on '"The Education for Liberation"
He claimed that the Government, the
church and the family were all education
al institutions; that each nation was
judged by the standard of its education
and what it gives to humanity. This is
the age of the educated man; the future
belongs absolutely to the educated man.
The time is coming when there will be
no room for the uneduCated man or wo-
man. The tragedy of our time is the
half educated man who confesses
that there is nothing for which he has
been especially trained The most pathe-
tic figure in modern life is the man who
is a general character and not a specific
force
After this splendid address the degree
of LII. D. was conferred on Governor Ay-
cock. DR., Kilgo made the address and
called the Governor the profound stu
dent, the defender of Education and the
upbuilder of the State.
Governor Aycock made very eloquent
speech in accepting the high honor say
ing that he had recently impressed Wake
Forest into the service OF the State and
that Trinity belongs not to the church,
but to the people of North Carolina
His remarks were followed by tremend-
