Mr.. 1ACFARLAND's ADDRESS.
You are to be congratulated upon
Going out into the world with the name
ID. Howard upon YOU. Il ought to be
q. introduction to others and an inspi-
ration 20 Yourselves. 1t stands for the
agr.rsl living, thanks 10 two men who
have made IL famous in modern time,
and % the fact that no one has ever
made % Infamous. When we hear
the word, after general thought of the
long line Of HOWardS in the English
n-erage, with all their claims to hon
la1.e distinction, We think first of
john Howard the phIIanthrOpisl of the
prisons, who reVOlutlOnlSed the treat
u-a- of prisoners the world over. In
the great day Of account the King shall

anil We visited me" " Not "all the blood
%. J.l the HOWITdS" could confer
greater nobility than this plain Eng
lslman possessed and he has given
tl-u8me a greater lustre than it ever
had before. Then We here would
think naturally of HIM tor whom this
University was named Oliver Otis
Howard, the knightly Christian sold
Ter, who lost his right arm in the battle
OF Fair Oaks, and was twice promoted
for gallantryin action. These HOwards,
to speak Of no others, have made the
name synonymous with humane, hon
Orable, hgh-minded conduct. Those
who bear the name of Howard as grad
yates Ofthis University have, it seems
to me, a peculiar honor and a peculiar
obligation The thought of inhumanity
10 anv Sentient creature should be alb
horrent to every Howard graduate.
Cruelty in any form, under any CiTcum-
stances, to man, or beast, or bird,
ought to rouse a Howard graduate to
a hghting zeal. The ameliOratiOn of
suffering should be a pleasure as well
as a duty You men and women who
are TO minister TO the suffering and the
needy as your life work should be es.
peCiaNy tender and sympathetic
and kInd-hearted, because you are
all Howards by adoption. DishOn
or. not technical and special, but
broad and general, you should avoid
as disease Of the deadiiest kind, if you
are 10 be true HOWardS. 1t is impos-
s5le to imagine a true Howard living
a .Ow-mlndtd, merCenaTY or unprinCi-
pied life.
Health in the broadest and deepest
sense, health of head and health of
heart the sound mind in the sound
body the man or woman living aC-
cordIng to the laws of GOd-all this,
suggested by the name Howard, is
what YOU are TO stand for and to work
Tor. You profess to be ministers of
health. You take the responsibility OF
rUng for other men and women. Like
Tie priests IN the temple you must
yours Ives be whole, be holy, tor
health is Wilderness, completeness.
Holiness Is but health writ large. May
you De true 20 your professions and TO
tA7 noble name YOU bear.
