so that we may not regret the lack OF
opportunity to try what stuff We're
made Of. Most OF us must live and
die unknown but we can at least avoid
the grosser forms of unhappiness
originating in false ambition and
material greed-by thinking Of the old
French proverb of happiness in
obscurity and the enjoyment of the
simple pleasures of nature. The pro-
verb runs like this and it's meaning is
wisely remembered and lived: MY
glass is not large but ! drink from my
glass" Not the less, however, because
of our insignificance does our Alma
Mater expect us to make and keep our
vow to her-so simple, so elemental.
and yet so enormously difficult.
We came here with difference in
creed, principles, aspirations, potent
alities and we go out often with those
differences accumulated. A common
vow would seem impossible and yet
we come with one common end-to
clear and strengthen our mental
vision-and We can go out with a
silent vow to keep that vision bright
and follow it's commands. Our futures
will be as diverse as our numbers but
we can all. determine them by our
will and thought rather than by easy
agreement with chance. Whatever
our course let it be ours because we
think it best and consciously choose
is and then let us follow it with as
much of energy as we possess. The
objectionable crime for a college man
is to be thoughtless-to excuse him
self with Il didn't think" Our en-
deavor shall be to keep thinking and
it will be no easy task as the years
wind us about with the meshes OF
easy habit. In return for all our happy
college days now past; in return for
all the intangible gifts of Bowdoin-
in learning, in discipline and in
friends-our Alma Mater asks us only
to remain that most wonderous crea-

AN OPEN AIR CONCERT.
Class Of 1909 inaugurates New Gus
tom at Bates College.

Lewiston, Me, June 22.-(SpeciaD
The Class OF 1909 of Bates College
started a new custom this evening by
substituting an open air concert on
the campus with grand illumination
for the usual Commencement concert.
The Senior class usually hires talent
from away and gives a concert in
Empire theatre or one of the city
churches. The expense of the campus
illumination was estimated to be no
greater than the loss from one of the
concerts. hence the change in plans
Fully 500 people were on the campus.
The illumination presented one OF
the prettiest sights ever seen in this
city. All the trees on the campus
were connected by wires on thc
wires were hung several hundred
Japanese lanterns. When the time
came to light these, the campus sud-
denly took on the appearance Of a
hugh Japanese garden. Little groups
of chairs here and there filled with
people and the great steps of Cbram
library Illuminated in the background,
made an attractive picture.
The steps of the library were trans
formed into stage and here an
hours program was given by the Col
lege Mandolin and Glee Clubs The
program:
