Revolution PrOphesied.
There has been n grea, industrial
revolution and now We have going on to- /
day great agricultural revolution. But
the agricultural revolution is going to
give much more to the tOilers Of the 7
fields than the Industrial revolution gave
to the wOrkmen in the shops The agri- ,
cultural revolution will raise the toiler I
of the fields to a place near his proper
able share of his toll than ever has gone
to the man with the hoe.
Il have learned that there are three /
kind Of men in this world. There are
men who want to grab everything and
keep out of the penitentiary There are
men who do not want to give to society
the equivalent of what they got from So .
cietN. Then there are the men who want
to give to society much more than socie-
fhaTo
These are the men with
the true Harvard spirit, the spirit OF
social service. 1t is these men now down
In the Department of Agriculture who
are doing their utmost in the agricultural
revolution to lift the burden of the toiler
and give him more OF fair share
Justice Mccoy, OF the District Su-
preme Court, said: ~ have been out of
college a long time and since l have been
in Washington I have observed lot.
One of the things l have discovered is
that Harvard men do not trade on the
fact that they are Harvard men 1t is a
fact that it is an asset to be a Harvard
man. but instead of trading on that as
set the Harvard men here in Washing
ton have shown that they recognize the
obligations that goes with the title 'Har-
yard man and conduct themselves in
life accordingly" Il

ext, Representative Gardner lauded

You can't blame US for being Con-
