C. T. Scott's Address.
Congressman Charles F. Scott of
lola, a graduate of the class of 1881
gave the annual commencement ad-
dress, on 1.-THE Elements of a Success
full Life"
zone must not totally ignore the
material side of life" said Mr.. Scott
but 1t is still more important that
one does not look after this entirely
to the exclusion of everything else
There is something more important
than gaining riches and wealth and
that is the living of a successful life
in the truest sense of the word. When
/ left college, 20 years ago, I thought
the key to success in Ife was BRAIN
but after years of practical experience
I am inclined to believe that it is the
heart The only real victories, the
only triumphs that endure are won
by the heart, not by the brain. So
my parting words to you seniors who
today enter upon real life are the
words of solomon of old. Keep they
heart with all diligence

ercises the annual university dinner

ment Of a fee of 81, which includes
the subscription price for the Gradu-

necessitated separate organizations for
the alumni OF the remaining schools.
The new constitution also calls for the
selection of a board of ten directors,
who are to hold office for five years.
A feature of the new constitution
IS the establishment of an endowment

ANY alumnus who makes such pay

member of the association, and after
ten payments is to be granted life
