erend father said that he not only be-

the splendid work that was being done at
St Michaol's college, and he expressed his
sincere hope and conviction that In a few
years to come this college would be one
Of the most nourishing Catholic institu-
tons OF the country. The manner in which
he emphasized the necessity of religious
education was a very forcible one. and

And we near the end Of llfe's long way,

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
In the course of his address as presl-
dent, Mr.. Nye said.
The commercial spirit of this age has
had its effect on the colleges. The life
here IS not the one of ease and luxury
we have seen painted of the earlier days.
Courses are changing to meet the needs
of this commerciarsm. We get practical
theories o-day, whose applications can be
everywhere seen. We encounter and
struggle with many OF the problems
which are troubling the world at large
all in our little way. These things, with
many others, have so prepared US that
demand for college men has been ere
ated. They are winning so many laurels
that the supply, large as It Is, does not
equal the demand. In short, college
education has become almost a necessity
At no time in the history OF the country
has the future for the college graduate
been SO promising as 1t IS today. Never
have there been more absorbing pro-
lens to be solved; never greater need
for scrupulous and competent men; and
never such opportunities for public SER
vice. The undergraduate has been said
to be as irresponsible as the southern
| negro-happy with the next meal pro-
v,ded for and q little change in his poe
ket. Whether this is true or not, he is
undoubtedly the most optimistic of any
class of our complex society-not al
