CARL SCHURZ ADDRESSES GRADUATES
Hon. Carl Schurz delivered the com
mencement address, in which he empha-
sized the Importance of the mission OF
the University in holding aloft the high
est standards of morals, in maintaining
the truest ideals and standing as the
stoutest bulwark against the vicious
storms of opinion and sentiment one of
the most striking of which at the pres
ent time, he pointed ont, is the inordi-
nate and INSCRIPTIONS use of wealth,
and the worship of success as such.
SCHOOLS RATHER THAN BATTLESHIPS.
After praisng President Roosevelt for
the countenance which he has given to
the Hague Tribunal and especially for his
recent attempt to bring about termi
patton of the war in the far East, Hon.
Schurz said, This republic should
stand as the gentleman par excellence
among the nations, the gentleman scorn
ing the role of swashbuckler whose hip
pockets bulge with loaded six sho oters
aud who flashes big diamonds on his
fingers and his shirt front; the gentle
man modest in his consciousness of
strength, carrying justice, forbearance
and Cancellation on his tongue, and be-
nevolence in his hand rather than chip
on his shoulder If this republic is to
endure and to be successful in it's high
est mission, it must put its trnst rather
in schools than in battleships'
