commented upon the changes wnich
 had taken place in the personnel Of the faculty of Auburn. He paid feeilhs tribute to the influences of the lives | of Dr. Broun, Professor Smith, Profess | sor Lupton, Professor Charles Russ" | Colonel John Wills, all of whom he said were missing since the time ne was in college.
 "Reflecting upon the tremendous
 amount of good accomplished by tnese men," he said, T cannot help nut in- spire, those who knew them and learn | ed at their feet to endeavor In some | way to pay back to the community the debt in which the man labors, who was fortunate enough to have their assistance in the formative period or | their lives. .r And in certain ways, 1t has gotten | to be the fashion to emphasize the | philosophy of pessimism. doubtfns habit of mind is becoming too much | the fashion as regards the stability of | our institutions. Too many men are prone to see only the darked side Of our civilization. closing their eyes as if to shut out the dawn of a new day" "A belief," he said, "in the new civil lization and confidence that it rests | on an enduring basis should bring a | message of hope and inspiration to every strong man privileged to take part in bringing forth the finest fruit
 of this civilization,
 'The assistance is lone needed for
 something more than fine talk, hazy idealism mere enthusiasm and preach
 ing, the philosophy that if man be good all else will be forgiven.
 T plead he exclaimed "eficiency to | be made the watch word of our new
 civilization. Men must not be placed | on guard anywhere, who cannot do the l task. assigned to them. We must have | honesty, morality. high thoughts, pure
 ideals. but if these have suff1oed in the
 past they will be of little service In
 the new civilization unless to them is
 added efficient methods of work and
 scientific methods of investigation and
 checking of results.
 Points of Future Way.
 "In order that 1 may not be accus- | ed of falling into the same fault that
 condemn. namely preaching without | pointing the way or showing definite | details of the problems, let me point | out few things men must do in the
 future without being simply good. The chemist must be something more than mer eanalyist of chemi- ! calls. It Is his duty, following the ex- periments of men like Chittenden and
 Fisher at Yale, point out that for generations men have eaten about | twice asa much as Is good for them,
 and that even balancing of food val | ues in diet Is ono of the most impor-
 tant things for civilized men to learn.
 You chemists must also point out how Peruna and Pains Celery Compound contain as much alcohol as most in-
 toxtcants, that catarrh powders for the most part are fiendish conconc- | ton or cocaine, and that men, women
 and children who are taking these | drugs without knowledge of their con- | tents are becoming drunkards and drug fiends.
 Tho doctor must think of some- | thing beside pills and pellets. He must
 insist that all school children be ex-
 amined physically and cured early in | lire fdefects which left unchecked
 will handicap them forever in the race Tor life. He must point that half of
 the child criminals are made such by
 unprotected nourishment, absence of
 ventilation and physical degeneracy The doctor must point to the South
 now science has determined that ma-
 iaria and yellow fever can be banished
 only by exterminating the mosquito.
 me doctor must also point out the difference between endurance and
 strength and how the former must be
 the ideal for which men must strive
 rather than the latter"
 Work in Public Service.
 MT. Andrews then addressed himself 10 the public service, which on this
 new basis must be rendered by the
 accountant, farmer, machinist. million alre, teacher and lawyer, pointing out
