Farewell Address.

The Farewell Address was given by
Delbert ElVin Andrews. Mr.. Andrews
said. 1T would be a thoughtless breast
indeed into which there would not
come feeling of sadness at moment
like this. Life is real. time is pass
ing opportunities are waiting. We as
classmates are thinking now as we
have never thought before. Our minds
are not centered on the present mo-
| r,ent, neither are our thoughts con-
fined to this place. We are-thinking
of tomorrow and the large world out
side as well as here and now.
Continuing he spoke OF the privilege
which had been that of the class to
dwell apart here a little while and
study the thoughts of some of the
gre cater minds or time, to think out
some problems of life, to examine,
Improve and master ourselves. Now
tie cail of the busy world bids us
to IT'S activenass. We must away.
And a feeling of sadness comes to us
as we say. We must leave old Bates
behind" The philosophy of Tenny-
sons old warrior Ulysses is good for
| this occasion. We are part of all
that we have met.
Bates will, in a sense, go with us.
Tho bounds Of time and space con-
not confine the spiritual Bates, the
| friendships, every struggle, every as
sociation, every sight and every
sound that has come.to us in our ex-
perence here These will always be
with us and a part of us however far
we roam. After we have separated
to take onr respective places in the
world, there will come to us across
whatever space, the sights amt SOUNDS
| familiar to old Bates.
We shall hear the chattings Of our
social circles and the youthful cheer
of our glea songs as groups have been
accustomed to assemble in Parker
Hall or Rand Hall: the thrilling cheers
that so often risen from the athietic
field; shall see the glorious gieam OF
the bon fire from Mt. David; the rooms
in which we have been instructed. We
shall hear the old chapel bell which
has SO faithfully warned us of passing
time, calling us now to social pleas
ures. now to study and now to devo-
tion.
Yes, all the aspects of Bates VIII
go with us as part of u.s. we sHaii
wear her on our faces, we shaH ex-
| prcss her in our manner, we snail
think her in our thoughts. speak her
in our messages and love her in our
dreams.

To YOU much has been given and
from you much shall be required. In
what measure you meet these de-
mands ard rise TO success depends in
no small degree on your choosing OF
right ideals, and the faithfulness with
which you pursue them.
| We are living in an age OF strong
naterialistic tendencies and all too
| frequently wrong ideals are accepted,
false standards are set up, and ac-
QUESTION of wealth comes to constl-
tute the more considerable elements of
success Too often results are ad-
mired regardless of methods, and men
are justified ip Whatsoever paths they
may choose on the condition that they
get there Yet there has ever been in
| the life of our nation certain tenden-
cies that have given us ground for
alarm, there has been certain others
that have given us ground for hope
| So at the present time in the rush at
ter strange gods men are slowly but
surely coming to realize that success
| in life, as viewedf from materialistc
standpoint, is not the be all and end

If you would find true success you

The Pipe Grafton.
After III class ode had been sung. Roy
Emerson Cole gave the pipe grafton:
''To5ay'' he said. 'as we are assembled
10 en,oy one of the last exercises which
we as Undergraduates of the class OF
1910 shall have the privilege of partici-
pating in, we are reminded of that an
cienI custom instituted by the red man.
He has left a heritage too great and COM
mendable TO be passed by unnOticed and
so as one of the last rites. the time-hon-
ored custom of smoking the pipe of
peace will he celebrated
Taking a retrospective view of our four
years Of college life. we cannot fail to
understand how true the old adage is
that absolute harmony is impossible,
thus, this part has for us a special sig
nificance at this time when we are about
TO sever our class relations and come
face TO face with the problems of an ac-
tive life
a As this pipe shall pass from hand to
hand. may il gather every particle of
enmity that may exist, and may we
pledge ourselves to forget the little mis-
understandings that have arisen to make
an absolute harmony possible But the
meaning of this custom does not end here
for We are told that it meant not only
the ceasing of i'll feeling but the birth
of a new relation, essential to us as flu
ture men and wOmen-the relation of
friendship. None of us fail to appreciate
gone by, how often we have relied upon
each oth.~ for help and how welcome
has been The kind sympathy extended to
us by our associates.
And now as these wreaths of smoke
shall linger above us, may we begin the
broad expanse of life in such a way that
In the years to come we may not feel
that cur college course was marred by
some instance which should have been
rectified and forgiven"
AS soon as the pipe Grafton was over,
President Quimby lit the peace pipe and
for ten minutes soft blue smoke how
cred over the platform as each member
of the class took a few puffs from the
pipe. When this was over, the class
was marshalled out of the chanel by
Jackson. Outside they formed in an
open order march and. led by drummer,
marched to every hall on the campus
and the athletic field and gave three
cheers for each Of them.

PLAYS AS
He DOES HARD WORK
Shows More Dash in His Work
outs and Kids with Box
ing Partners

BEN LOMOND, May 1.-THE Jeffries train
ing camp is in high spirits tonight because
in his workout today the champion showed
all the vim his trainers could expect. He
was to have resumed the gymnasium grind
in the afternoon but changed his mind after
lunch and with several of the attaches of the
camp went by automobile to Santa Cruz for
a dip in the surf.
Besides working well with the gloves, jeff
was in a jocular mood and playfully CURED
his seconds around during the brief periods
Of rest In boxing the fighter rushed both
pace stepping after them furiously in good
Imitation OF his real prize ring aggressive
ness
After the boxing the big fellow tried the
violent abdominal exercise which he used TO
reduce his waist line while he was travelling
with his show. He sat on a backless chair
with his feet the rungs OF another and
leaned back until his head touched the floor,
then rose rapidly to a sitting posture.
Jeffries claims the practice of this exercise
for the first time since he left the road
counted for his poor boxing last Monday. He
said that just before putting on the gloves
last Monday he worked at the exercise for
ten minutes in his dressing room, and when
he was ready to box his stomach was SO
sore that he could not move without suffering
pain.
Before Jeffries left for Santa Cruz he and
Berger engaged in a conference which caused
some speculation. Later Berger admitted that
the list of eastern elgibles for referee had
ben cut down considerably Aside from the
list of Californians in the fight for the posi-
tion, Berger is strong for three eastern
ers: Buck Cornelius of Plttsburg, Charlie
White and Otto Floto of Denver.
Mrs JefFies Is recovering rapidly. She
paid her second visit to the gymnasium to-
day.
