Napoleon! This name itself at one
time suggested fear throughout Europe.
He was the greatest man of modern
times, and | think / might easily say
ne was one of the greatest men the
world has ever known.
There are many questions which we
have to debate in our minds before
coming to n decision. He was a great
soldier and statesman, because he was
naturally made TO command and be-
cause he had that spirit that carries
men to success. When Napoleon made
up his mind to do n thing he did it.
] think determination Is a very good
habit for men who have to lead others.
He. like other great men, had many
faults, the greatest of which was vanity.
The loss of the battle of Waterloo was
due to his vanity, for not until the las,
few days of the battle did he appear
upon the field in person. Don't you
think this was great fault?
one of his greatest achievements was
to gain the love of his soldiers. This
helped him in many n hard fought
battle. When his soldiers thought all
was lost Napoleon stood up in his

He saved France. lie had snatched her
away from the jaws of a most terrible
monster, anarchy. This noble work by
itself would be enough TO proclaim him
one of the greatest men that have ever
lived.
We are indeed fortunate enough that
his work was not only confined to wars.
He also directed his efforts toward other
important matters. He recognized the
fallen kingdom into the strongest en-
pire OF modern times in less than two
years He extended his dominions from
Lisbon to Moscow, from Copenhagen to
Tunis. When has the world seen a
greater and more remarkable change?

Men are usually judged by their acts
and by the benefits or wrongs derived
from those acts. In history the great
ness or renown of man depends en-
tirely upon the effect that their actions
or deeds have had or still have on our
civilization. Napoleon's actions have
been most beneficial to mankind and
human progress.
