| President Vittum spoke to the stu
dints Friday on the philosophy of in
dviduals, Institutions, and communi-
tes. He defined it to be their att1-
tlde to people, to their environment
ind to God. The farmers of North
Dakota have a different philosophy
from those of Iowa and both of these
have a different philosophy from New
England farmers. Every college has
it's philosophy. A good deal is said
in the east about the Yale spirit. the
Dartmouth spirit. This philosophy
changes most rapidly in the young and
fast growing western colleges. One
knows a man we'll when he finds out
what his philosophy is. 1t is worth
while for every one to consider his
relations to others and to the unseen
future world, for all need to have a
definite philosophy which is realized
in their consciousness. AS fish that
exist in a water world cannot live
without oxygen from the air above,
so man cannot truly live, without the
inspiring influences which come from
the spirit world. We need a philo-
s0phy of cleanliness, of fairness, of
kindness, and one which will give less
heed to material things and more to
the nobler, higher spirit life.
