Dr. Pace took for the subject of his ad-
dress to the graduates The Meaning OF

not mean the crushing of the weak by the

upon the misfortunes OF others. Success,
III it's true sense, he said, means the liberal
of the advantages ard wealth obtained
r@- 10 n
as well as self. Dr. Pace declared also that
success is not won by questionable methods
in business or professional life. One may
obtain wealth and power without securing
success He urged the graduates to adopt a
course Of right living and to be charitable
toward others less fortunate. By the man
ner in which an individual gains his wealth
and power, he said, and the manner In
which ne uses these advantages, is his sue
cess in this world correctly measured.
