Dr. rhwing'S Address.
In the course of his address Dr.
Thwing considered the scholar under
five relations. First. as a student;
second. as thinker; third as an
interpreter; fourth. as an apostle;
and hfth, as a priest.
President Thwlng said that the
scholar as student is to continue
his studies after his formal STUDENT
ship. America makes too abrupt and
fun division between the school and
life. Education is not finished at
graduation. Every day should bring
Quickening of the faculties. A now
poem. a new picture, some new vision
should be given 10 one each morniig.
The thinker Is more important than
the scholar. he continued. Scholar
ship should lead TO thinking. Think
ing should represent comparison,
Judgment and sense Of relationship.
OF men of such character the COM
munity has dire need. Thinking should
lead TO the mood Of thoughtiulness.
Thinking IS both the cause and re-
suit Of Interpretation. Interpretation
of all life should be conducted under
three classes or forms, personal suf-
iciency, social efficiency and the
world vision.
Such studies. thinking and inter-
probation equip one TO be an apostle,
said Dr. Thwing One is sent
forth to serve. The personal
: and private service finally be-
comes public. and public SER
I. vice onriches the personal. But with
the great elements OF the scholar
should be joined the fifth element OF
religion. The scholar should be a
= priest. He represents the one who
Z prays and he also stands for the vi
T carious element in life.
