The address before the gradual

address was eloquent and instfuc

said:
"The wisdom of mankind crys
talizes into proverbs.
AS a nan thinketh, so is he
ga man is known b1 the company
he keeps.'
"These proverbs are complement
ary, and the one illustrates the
other. The closest and most con
slant con- panions to a man are hi'
thoughts, and he also finds hi
most congenial associates among
those of kindred thoughts.
"Life IN any worthy sense is an
unceasing effort to realize our
ideals; and whilst perhaps no OFT
has ever attained to his ideals, yet
the effort to do 90 and the Ideals
themselves elevate man above the
rest Of creation.
