Last night in the Craven Men,
orial hal was held the annual
Senior orations. For years this
has been one of the main features
of the commencement program
and has always attracted a great
deal of interest. These men are
selected by mems Of prelimi-
nary contest and this fact is but
another indication Of the growth
Of Trinity. There used to be
time, when with small graduating
classes, the entire class was re-
quircd to deliver an Grafton at
commencement time. The growth
has been such that this would
now be impossible and four are
selected as representatives.
To add zest to the contest
there is annually given a medal
known as the Wiley-Gray medal.
This medal last night was award
ed to Mr.. c. S. Warren. While
the judges were out deciding Mr..
X. c. Goldstein, of the law school,
and last years winner of the
medal, came in and presented

The subject Of DR.. Kileo's ad-
dress, which was one Of his most
thoughtful and dec, Of reasoning,
that he has ever delivered. may
be called "The Paradoxes Of
life..'
Life is full Of paradoxes. Day
is Offset BY night. Strength is
opposed by weakness. Joy by
grief. Life by death. Every
way you look is one Of contradic-
ton. One cannot grew rich
without tome one growing poor
The foundations Of things are in
sorrow. Back Of honest endcav
or and being is a multitude Of
suffering. The worlds success is
founded on pain and grief. Music,
sculpture and poetry are oftimes
the responses Of a despairing
spirit. How far viii we take adj
vantage Of the sorrows Of nature7
The comforts aud luxury Of q
pullman car Is at the anxiety 81
the hand Of the man at the
throttle. The warmth of your
cosy home is by the poor fellow
who dug out your heat hundreds
Of feet in the grounds. All civil
lization Is between the things
that build up and the things that
tear down. II is battle Of cou-
quests. Every endeavor IS but
the chamber Of conqucsts. Nor.
atty is a matter Of paradoxes in
civilization. We must take on
the bonds Of master. Liberty is
bondage. You arc free to do as
you please so long as no one else
is on the island. When another
comes on you are no longer free.
The ethics is not Of ruling, but Of
ministering. Death should be-
come the throne Of power and
the birth-chamtcr Of success.
The law Of the natural order Of
things Is deeper than the appear
ance Of things. The great task
Of every age IS to conquer its
conquests. Master the mystery.
Every victory is turned round to
be new conquest. Every
achievement Is new opposition.
