Prof. Bivens' address was a
. gem al # is cause for regret
that space will not permit a full
report. Every word, aptly ex-
, pressed, fitted into d structure
that was rare combination of
thought and expression. Follow
ing a line of thought suggested
by a recent bright and interest
ing book, he divided mankind in
to two classes, Bromides and Sui
phitss. Your Bromide is one
who never by any chance gets
out of the beaten path, who does
always the conventional thing and
who always says the stale and
uninteresting and conventional
thing;while the chief characteris-
tic of yourSuphite is restless Gu
, riosity, a keen desire to know, and
he is always saying the bright
and interesting and unexpected
: thing. The all-important thing,
t said the Speakers is to be intense
ly interested about something.
{ Curiosity has played a leading
roll in the development of our
: civilization; there is ever a direct
: connection between curiosity and
achievement. He warned against
: the danger of forgetting how to
live in the mad rush for material
achievement, impressing forcibly
: upon his hearers the tact that
there are things in life more i'm
portant than the acquiring OF
mere material wealth.
