They have been prosecuted with sim eerity and energy but too often with out vision Their tone and quality have been marred by a. scattering and uncertain preliminary schooling, by medIocrity Of mind, by the worship of degrees as a means of securing posi- itiona by the isolation of students due to an enhancement of special rom general Knowledge
 .sIn some degree the obstacle will probably always exist and they cannot be removed merely by opposing them. They can be removed only by replac- ing them with something better. What we are seeking is to be found in the daily fellowship of kindred minds of rare promise. generous rivalry and high aSpfration-y

 ..ro the people of this country Mir Cleveland stood as the embodiment of sound judgment, rugged strength and common honesty.
