and country must ever look for safety
in the hour of danger. To you life
means something. Not idleness OF vice.
but work, conscientious work for your
selves in whatever field your lot may
be cast. Your hands. heads and hearts
have been so educated in these halls.
that you are well prepared to make
your entry into the practical work OF
life.
From here you go out to begin that
work. Hitherto you have been taught;
now YOU are to be tea a,hers. Hither-
TO you have been led and tenderly cared
for; now YOU are to lead and care for
others. Hitherto you have been the on
1 lockers of the battle of life; now you
are to participate in tile struggle.
THE time of your entry is propitious
Nearly twenty centuries of Christianity
have brought the nations Of the earth
to their present development. You start
at the high water mark of human civ
ilization. with the light of these CEN
turtles behind you, aiA the unlimited
possibilities of the future before you.
In the flight OF time the world has
not grown more wicked 1t has grown
better. 1t was never better than TO
day. It is true the difference between
the good man and the bad man Is
greater today than ever before. This is
not because we have reached lower
ideal of civic. social and moral man
hood has grown cleaner and bigger with
the passing of time. Christianity gave
us the ideal man. We have been NOV
ing up to our ideal and thus widening
the gap between virtue and vice.
From year to year woman's field OF
labor has been enlarged, until today
she stands on practically an equal foot
ing with men. The chief injustice she
suffers is that we demand for her more
and better work for less pay than Is
given to men. Like pay for like work
is the just rule and should be enforced.
With integrity and industry. the sue
cess of each one of you in the future
viii depend only upon your capacity
and opportunities. True success is not
merely the attainment Of riches, high
position or great power but in the ac-
complishment of the greatest good for
our fellow men"
