DR.. L. C. Herbert, OF Chicago, de-
livered the class day address. His
subject was the Trinity of Power
He prefaced his address with numer-
Gus anecdotes and anecdotes were in
terspersed through the speech, which
was an extemporaneous effort, some
what rambling, but intended to keep
his audience interested and in good
humor on very hot evening.
His trinity of power was education
patriotism and religion.
He seemed to adept the class mot
to that these things were not finished
but begun.
He said the science of his boyhood
was moi science today; the definitions
of dictionaries ten years old. were not
good definitions today; and we must
have new encyclopedias every year
if we keep up with the times. But
the boys and girls of today are taught
to think for themselves; ard world
of thinkers cannot get very far wrong
Pessimism should have in place in the
mind of any American. Education
here is growing like the country and
every member of this class should be
ambitious to do something, be some
thing and give something to the
world
We live at time when everything
is changing. All is uncertainty.
