Addresses the Graduates.
Hop. Arthur B. Hayes, former solicitor
OF internal revenue OF the Treasury.
made the address TO the graduates. He
said, in part:
| "A graduation day means much to
any man who has earnestly and con-
scientiously followed the course Of in
structiOn laid down in the curriculum OF
an institution Of learning. since from that
| day he marks his entrance into the field
Of active life and endeavor
Il congratulate the young men who
have chosen an Industrial pursuit In life.
The industrial professions heretofore
have been largely neglected. and in those
professions there Is at present offered the
greatest opportunity, not only for achiey-
! ing success in life. but the opportunity
to materially help bridge the chasm
which now exists between capital and
| labor
Electricity Is the power OF the future.
and knowledge OF that power is n
power indeed. Edison. the wizard. has
accomplished wonderful things In the do
main OF development and application. but
there may come from among your ranks
other wizards, whose explorations Will
be as strange 70 the people OF the future
as Edison's were at the time they were
announced TO the world.
My theme tonight Is that OF good
citizenship. Every man who Is himself
an exponent. raises the standard. not
alone In the ration OF his life 10 the mass
OF lives but also In the proportion in
which his life becomes a strong potent
factor in the world OF affairs
Preserve the Nation.
The duty rests upon you 10 preserve
this nation that II may fully accomplish
the purposes for which It was estab-
lished. To-day every nation looks 20
America to lead the way The true
American idea is the concentrated incar-
nation Of the power and sacredness Of
lofty individuality"
