ed Carl Schmidt, the great German
philosopher says that man Is naturally
imferfect, inclined to arrogance and
evil, and before great progress comes
must be freed from innate evils. Pro-
erosion comes only with freedom
from sensual, carnal desire, the alb
stinence from the harmful and hurt
full things by which we are surrounded
and which continually tempt us.
The true idea of life is to obtain
knowledge.
The speaker then dwelt at consider
able length on 1.-THE influence of men,
ory," and made the assertion that the
memories of school life, of the faculty
and each other prove one of the great
est influences i'm life. The speaker
was most fervent as ne impressed up
on his hearers the influence memories
had in his own career, and here he
recited a portion Of his early exper-
fence. Born i'm Russia, when he de-
sired to continue education had to be-
come an exile from his country. He
went to Switzerland, then Paris.
After studying there he desired to re-
turn to Russia but was suspected of
political connivance and had to return
to Holland, spending some time in
various of the smaller countries. The
Rabbi said that not one single men,
DRY of those times but has become
power and inspiration. Memories are
the food that nourish brain and mus
Gle, the power that moulds men into
social beings. The speaker recited
considerable ancient history, illus
trating that memory has had greatest
influence in bringing about conditions
we enjoy today.
Common memories of truth, ideals,
sorrows, tribulations, griefs-memor-
les taken away from college, Of facul-
ty. land and home will prove of great
est strength, and serve to create a
splendid American manhood and
womanhood. The Rabbi here paid a
most glowing tribute to the girls and
boys, men and women of America.
He said that he had seen much, SUI
fered much, travelled far, but no where
on earth had he ever seen such glor
iouS manhood and womanhood as H.
in America america is my adopted
land" said he. 'and | can appreciate

see and know the glolieS and beauties
! which escape you"
Skepticism came i'm for hard
knock or two, the speaker saying that
!, no country OF dOubters ever did any
thing. The people must be positive
/ If George Washington and other
heroes Of our early history had been
doubters, would America today be the
land of the brave and home of the
free? No! He and Others had faith
, and trumphed over countless difficult
ties. They knew, were convinced Of
their own power and took the conceit
