| DR.. Willett of Chicago delivered the
baccalaureate address last Sunday.
He took as his subject Now 1 Know
in Part" The main idea through the
! lecture was that no man knows 1t all
and many examples were given to
show that this was true. He cited
Newton, Agassiz, Mendelssohn and
Edison as men who were deeply
versed in their lines Of work, yet that
! they had not begun to see into the
science that they were engaged in.
This being the case there is need Of
hard work on the part Of all in order
that they may get a "look-in" to the
science Of the work that they are to
| follow. DR.. Willett also stated that
all who were going to act as mission
aries ought to have an agricultural
education as in that way they would
have greater ability in reaching those
| they were trying to work for.
