DIR. HALLS LECTURE.
Last night the Assembly hail was
crowded 10 hear DR.. q. Stanley Halls
final lecture before returning to Baker
university In Massachusetts, Of which
he Is president. Dr. Hall departed
from the strict discussion of the sub
ject announced to pay tribute to the
University OF Utah, which he charac-
terized as one OF the best OF the
younger universities. and 20 Utahs
climate. which he said was an inspira-
ton to great deeds. Or. Hall discussed
the Education of the Heart and the
Imagination" and m part he said:

great emotions. and reasonable. right

right-minded person viii get angry
sometimes just as any right-minded
man will make enemies And some
