HONOR DR.. J. G. HIBBEN
Princeton President Guest at
Dinner of Lotos Club.

The Lotos Club gave a dinner last night
In honor of DR.. John Grier Hbben, presi-
dent of Princeton University. Frank r.
Lawrence acted as POSTMASTER
Dr. HIbben said 1t was one OF the I'M
written laws OF Princeton for a man not to
take himself seriously. However, although
he would not break this rule, he took the
Lotos Club and the dinner in his honor
very seriously. The problem OF making a
man, he said. was one of the most serious
OF the present time. In reality, he said
adaptation to environment was the lowest
standard of success The truly great and
successful man was the one who moulded
his environment to himself and commanded
his surroundings In this age, he con-
tinued, man did not consider how TO adopt
himself to nature, but how to employ nat
ure for his own uses.
Speaking Of the struggle for existence,
DR.. Hibben said:
Life after all, IT is often said, Is only a
struggle for existence. Indeed thls formu-
la applies to plant life and all the ranges
of animal life until you come to man. But
this selfish impulse has over against 1t
another impulse TO balance 1t and temper
It, the social instinct. The Lotos Club
gives the lie to the saying that the strug-
gle for existence is the final philosophy Of
life"
Other speakers were Chancellor Z. Els
worth Brown, OF New York University; A.
B. Hepburn, president OF the Chamber OF
Commerce; Franklin Murphy, Of New Jer-
ser; Rollo ogden. Charles Price, Chester
S. Lord and Professor Weber of Princeton.
The annual election Of officers. held yes
terday, resulted in the election of the Of
ficial ticket Frank X. Lawrence was re-
elected president. Chester s. Lord, vice.
president; Charles w. Price. secretary, and
John Harsen Rhoades. treasurer. William
Il. Evans, Samuel Untermyer and James
II. Mckinley were elected directors to hold
office for three years.
