Sides of Question.

Cambridge, Dec. 15.-CoL Roosevelt
talked some mere 10 Harvard students
this morning. The students OF the gov
eminent course were the ones who heard
him. President Lowell took the colonel

You fellows need sound basis OF the
oretical and literary knowledge to give
satisfactory public service. Don't fall
into either of the two pits-that of dis
believing in academic training. or that OF
believing in the all-suficient uses of aca-
demie training. There is nothing falser
than the sheer al book learning BY the
professional politician.
When you leave Harvard. you
must all get into practical politics. / do
not think you will all do good to the
nation, but l do think the nation win do
good 10 all OF you. Get the political
habit-handling men in a mass and
learning what you can and what you
cannot do. Be wise in your criticism of
men in public life.
BE sure and understand both sides
Of what YOU cTiticise. If you find that
you cannot work with your fellow men,
it nay be because you are too virtuous.
but presumably because you are TOO
foolish. ] do not care 10 be associated

on the ground. as well as his eyes on the
