Mr.. Twamley told the young mel

their being TO attain perfection an
moral inspiration. In this inspiration
will they find refuge from the carodinI
sentiments which coarse natures seel
in coarse excitement. He said tn
grand idea of a college life is tina
of grand family life. This ide
| should cling to the student all throug
/ the college career, now, afterward
| and forever. This impulse must com
from boys and young men. In closin
| Mr.. Twamley said "By their ear
nestness, urbanity and kindred gloN
| and fellowship college students ma
/ each one be earnest seekers and wol
/ shippers at the altar of discipline
beauty and truth. - Mr. Twamle
/ emphasized that the fundamental ide
/ of college is that of the family life
/ This. he said, is what has made Ok

lowship of college students and prC
fessors gathered round one commo
board is the ideal college life.
