"Life is going to be hard" said
President Patton in a recent sermon
to the graduates Of Princeton. 1t is
we'll that college graduates should I'm.
derstand how inexorable is the law Of
compensation. You can have almost
anything you want in the world by
paying the price. And as concerns
both fame and wealth the conditions
are hard. Take President Harper of
Chicago university as an instance of q
man who has won high standing and
who is laying the foundation Of one Of
the greatest universities in the world.
This is record of Harper's daily
life. At 5 O'Clock he is aroused by
his hody servant who shaves him in
he'd while he is still asleep. This
process being over he gets up, has his
breakfast, and at O'Clock is in his
ella S room. He teaches until 10
O'Clock and then goes to his office and
looks over the affairs Of the university.
At noon he goes to lunch and at p 30
o'clock comes back to his Office, where
his private correspondence and public
business take until 6 clock. AT that
time he gees to dinner. He wi
often fall asleep between the courses,
but after dinner is over he goes out to
some function delivers an address or
takes the cars to 60 to some distant
city were he is booked for discourse.
He. gets to bed anywhere from
~ to 2 o'clock to be up the next morn
ing and repeat the process. Nothing
sustains him under this enormous
strain but bis faculty of going to
81 :ep at any time and anywhere. He
has won from Rockefeller some &c..
900 900 to add to the endowment of
his institution and Rockefeller is now
about to add another million to it.
Rockefeller, the Standard OIL king,
is also an instance Of the strenuous

an intolerable ourden,and II he.had not
