ANNUAL CHARTER DAY ADDRESS IS FINE
!. AND IS HEARD BY A LARGE AUDIENCE
Eighteenth Birthday Anniversary Of the State University
Attracts Many People to Whom the Exercises Afford
Genuine Pleasure and Who Learn Much of the Work
at the Institution.

The 1918 observance of Charter day
at the state university was a pleasant
incident. The attendance at the morn
Ing exercises was large; there were
many visitors at the afternoon inspec-
ton; interest at all times was keen.
The formal anniversary exercises,
held in University hall in the morn
ing, brought out an unusually good
audience. The occasional address was
delivered by Rev. H. S. Galley of Mis-
soula. President Craighead presided;
music was by Mrs. Norquist, the
FISCHER trio and the university or
chestra. The invocation and benedic-
ton were by Rev. e. E. BURNER of
the Congregational church.
Introducing the speaker of the day,
President Craighead referred to the
glorious past of the university, which,
he said, was sure. He mentioned the
hope entertained by all for a more
glorious future and added that this is
largely in the hands of the friends of
the university. He paid fitting tribute
to the work which has been done by
the faculty in the past and bespoke
the cooperation of all friends in the
work of the future.
Mr.. Gatley's subject was "Visions
and Tasks" He spoke as follows:
"Visions and Tasks"
There are two kinds of men who
since the beginnings of civilization,
have had to do with all progress and
the development of our institutions.
They are the men of thought and the
men of action.
These two qualities, thought and
action, have often been combined in
one person n then the world has
seen a genius who lowered far above
III ordinary man, a leader who has
moved men to mighty deeds of valor,
but as a rule the two qualities have
been separated. The mar of thought
has dreamed dreams and had visions
which he never lived to see fulfilled.
They nave lain dormant for years
until somebody in a later generation
has caught his vision and woven 1t
into the fabric of society. The man
of action has come to the front and
made possible the dreams of the man
of thought.
ION the other hand the man of &C
ton has often sought to accomplish
some great purpose, which he has
never clearly thought out, and wasted
his time n energy in fruitless en-
deavors. One day he meets the man
of thought who unfolds to him a
vision which has come to him after
years Of patient study. He somehow
lacked the initiative to put his dream
into practical application, but he in
spires the man of action, whose life
has been a failure, and, 10, the dream
becomes a charter of liberty, the
ground work of a constitution, or d
new democracy.
Hand in Hand.
"The two have come down through
the centuries, hand in hand, one
supplementing the other, mutually
helpful and mutually dependent. The
man of thought nave laid the plans,
and the men Of action have performed
the tasks which have drawn the clans
together and made the tribe; they
have welded the tribes together and
made a nation; they have drafted con-
situations and built up the institu-
tions of civilizations; they have played
