scholarly address. In it he dwclt upon
the influence which the college men
must cncvitabiy yield on the political

as President White asserted, being q
token Of the genuine admiration ana
love of the class for the recipient and

the belief that there should not be one
wooden spoon. but one for every mem

game by taking advantage Of errors
