address to the graduates. He told
they that they should get a grip on
the thought that there is special
work in life allotted to them. and if
they did not do it, it would not be
done. He said he was glad TO be
present because of the fact that there
were so many young women gradu-

many of the great men of this coun-
try who had made history, includ-
ing Thomas f. Bayard, whom he
greatly loved. and all had labored TO
retain the good opinion of some good
