Gustavus Adolphus is the great hero of
Sweden. st. Olaf is the great hero OF
Norway. They were both great warriors.
They both fought for the truth, and they
both fell on the battlefield. But the
cause for which they both fought won a
most glorious victory, although both
heroes lost their lives in the strife.
Alsoin this country we have a Gustavus
AdoIphus and a st Olaf They are the
sons of the great warriors and defenders
of the faith beyond the sea. And they
are in this country TO continue the good
work OF Their fathers. They are here TO
carry on war against ignorance, super
stition and folly.
This evening this Swedish American
Gustayus Adolphus and this Norwegian
American st. Olaf meet on the arena, not
as enemies, but simply to exercise their
muscles, and thus train themselves for
the more serious battles OF life, in which
they both wish to fight on the same side,
under the same banner.
Ii is OF little consequence who wins here
tonight. Although, OF course, | suppose
there is no school which does not like to
see it's boys get out ahead. But after all,
that is of very little consequence. But
the great and lasting benefits which these
intercollegiate contests nave to the win
ming as well as to the losing side is that
both parties make a most strenuous ef-
fort TO do their very best, and thus tram
themselves for the contests of lite.
In life's battle against corruption and
vice skilled men are needed, courageous
men. men who are willing to night tor
the truth, and, if need be, TO die for the
truth, so that truth and righteousness
may conuuer even If those who defend It
