a selection by the orchestra the address to
the graduates was delivered by Judge James
II. Macomber. who said in part:
I'VE who have been engaged In active
business life know better than the grad
yates who today enter upon a professional
career. In the activity OF the Anglo-saxon
race there has been much progress in all
lines--mure than in that Of any other race.
When | contemplate the progress OF man
kind to higher civilization I feel that the
development OF humanity is the glory Of
creation. While the mind may grasp other
things 1t cannot grasp itself. The psyche
logical part Of mans nature is as real as
and other part. Civilization has gained
greatly through the champions OF freedom
Of religious thought. A study Of the forces
OF nature is interesting. What giant things
intellectual Ideas arel In the great strug-
gle which has taken place in all countries
there is no event since the crucifixion OF
Vesus Christ that has had so much effect
Upon the destiny OF the world as the refor-
Ination started by Martin Luther. The In
Ifuence of this reformation continues to be
felt in all free states and free institutions
Power Of Human Mind.
''Your study understanding and expert
ence will aid you in your appreciation OF
the power of the human mind, but nothing
can do this more than a study Of the gov
ernments of the two great nations Of the
Angio-saxon race-England and the United
states"
The speaker then reviewed the constitu-
ItionaI history of the United States, bring
Ting out its harmony with the development
Of the race. and comparing II with the con-
stitutional history OF England.
'Tf we could confne our study OF the
effect Of pure ideas upon material things
we MOulQ Dc impressed Win ITO poWcIs ~
is the want Of culture that makes men the
Jest of the world, while knowledge and
freedom bring them honor"
