The Grafton.

The Grafton was delivered by Leor
Guptil and was the best heard 70,
many years.
Leon &. Guptil was the orator of the
| afternoon and had for his subject, 1.-The
Necessary Adjuncts to Colby's Sue
cess" He treated the subject under
four heads, each bearing upon some
| part of the great body of men and
| women that have been and are now
| connected with the college He said in
part:
| 1T is pertinent to the consideration
of such a subject that we have in
| mind clear conception of what the
mission of Colby is. When on July 6,
| 1918, Watervlle College was establish
ed her founders had in mind the edu-
| cation Of the Individual in the higher
| learning The supreme aim of that
| kind of education was the cultivation
of the higher instincts of the human
race by raising the standard Of social
morality through the influence of the
college-bred man. From that day to
| this the college has gone forward with
the self same end in view.
LAS college broadened their lines of
| activities and numbered their curricula
with subjects suited only to tech
nical schools. many friends of Colby
| felt that if she was to keep abreast of
| the times she too must extend her cur
| riculum and play the part of univer-
| sity and technical school combined.
| Others having the mission of this col
| lege in mind. held firmly to the course
mapped out for her and steered her
| safely through the dangerous shoals.
| The purpose of our colleges is not spe-
officially to teach men how to make
money or find renumerative positions
| for them. 1t is to fit them into right re-
lations with life and all that goes to
make it beautiful,
"Respecting the real work that Colby
| is expected to do. we should place as
of first Importance the patriotic en-
deavor on the part of all to see her
mission constantly in the fulfilling.
| The second great adjunct to success is
that of loyalty on the part of her
graduate body. Students enter this col
| lege at the bottom of the ladder and
/ are taught to climb upward to become
cultered young men. When the college
has done this much she has a right to
expect love and devotion and material
! regard f it is possible for him to give.
THE third great adjunct is that of a
clear conception on the part of the
trustees and faculty of precisely that
condition that produces loyalty. Give
the graduate a share in the upbuiding
of his college and his interest is
aroused and he has an incentive to
| renewed effort.
| Fourth and finally, if Colby is to
succeed, there must be definite and
intelligent effort put forth by her un-
dergraduates in their work of general
assistance. Upon them perhaps depend
more than others the quality and guam
| tity of future classes. We can build up
the student body by going to good men
and interesting them in the real pur-

AS classmates we shall cherish
Your name and fame fore'er,
And thy renown shall ne'er perish
Colby so fair.
All through these three swift gliding
years
You've had watchful care
Whatever future days may lead
May this go with MS there.
In the short year that now is left
May pleasures thckly throng.
And may the class of 1909
Join in this song.

three of those men We're under load

plause)
Judge Clark has spoken eloquently and
given YOU young men substantial instruc-
ton in practicing law. Possibly | could
add something to it. He suggested that
when you have a woman as a witress
to lead her along easily. I would add to
let the woman alone. And the more ig-
norant the woman, the more certainly this
advice should be taken: for | have seen
a woman who could not spell her name
put pretty brainy lawyer to flight
There is something about the intuition
of a female, especially on cross -examna-
ton that leads her to always give you
information that you do not want. with
the result that she is invited off the stand
as soon as possible.
Judge Clark told you to go out into
the world and get at facts: when you
have a case, to get right down to the
actual conditions surrounding those facts.
I rather think it depends upon the per-
son. I don't think a lawyer needs to be
advised. An office without clients is not
likely to be conducive to keep him there;
he Is likely to get out on his own initia-
tive and keep in touch with people and

ton and ] was made aware of my fail
ings early If there are defects in ones
early training it is difficult to overcome
them.
"You young men are learning the
science of the law. which many of those
who have preceded you found it hard to
acquire. I urge you not to give up study
of that science Of the law. Follow the
discussion of law reviews, read the de-
cisions of the courts and the DEGREES OF

knowledge in thorough way. The days
