speaker said that graduates were in
clined to be In rather a serious frame
of mind at commencement time. for It,
meant answering OF all OF the associa-
tons and friends which have been so
dear, and that from the time OF gradu-
alton the fact was realized h a the
young men and women have their own
fortunes to make and are on their WI
responsibility and out from under the
guidance of their teachers.
He dwelt seriously upon an aim in
life, showing that the lack of an aim
has been the cause Of failure In many
cases. He urged the exercise of per-
sonal power, emphasizing the fact that
nothing is worth while that does not
require a personal effort which brings
reward. Success honestly earned
through individual effort is the real
mead of satisfaction. There are many
labor and time-savins helps, but one
must do ones own thinking to gain the
fullest life.
Rev, MI. Dewey denounced the fact
that many covet the ready-made hon
orS which r brought by influence and
wealth and wait for a windfall. He
brought u the idea that the pioneers
are still in the west, while in the east
they have been dead 200 years. It re-
mains for the second generation to
keep UP the record of development
made by their fathers, who worked
from necessity, and not to drift with
the tide of what has already been
accomplished. -Self-respect is built on
independent endeayor. One must learn
to be alert and make use OF the small
opportunities. Time is one Of the
~scarcest of natural commodities and
one who succeeds must conserve every
minute. Do the thing just before you.
Mr.. Roosevelt says: The art of sue
cess is the art OF doing the simple,
Insignificant and oftimes irksome task
which the other fellow neglects."
Rev. Mr.. Dewey's address was one
full of rich thoughts and which made
q profound impression upon his audi
ence, for he possesses a strong person
atty, and i~nterspersed his message
with striking lessons from life. The
commencement address was followed
by a solo, Gloria, by Buzzi-Peccia, by
Prof. b. A. Orr.
Class Day.
Another class day has gone down
in history at Fargo college. The
chapel was crowded to its limit yes
terday afternoon when the departing
senior class left their heritage to the
other classes of old r. c.
Never In the annals of Fargo college
has there been more regret at the
losing of It's graduates. The class as
a whole and as individuals has en-
deared itself In the hearts OF the whole
school. The different members are al
decided on their future work, and viii
leave Fargo college for the true com
mencement of life's labors,
In spite of the prevailing tsbiues" al
f. G. the seniors left of their dignity
and presented their different friends
with various tokens OF their esteem
and affection.
Miss Helen Smith, acting as a be-
witching fortune teller extracted th'
fortunes of the seniors from her seeth-
ing cauldron.
After the facetious presentation o
gifts, the class presented a short farce
entitled, The Teeth of the Gift Horse
which was greatly enjoyed by the au'
dienee. Great credit is due those wht
made the play such a success. Misses
Hubert Hildur Dorf and Messrs
Monson and Pollock participated.
AT the conclusion the audience DE
parted happy in the success of senio
achievements, but sad in the loss o
its most beloved graduates.
