Ina Wright-Herbst.
The address to the graduating
class was given by DR.. Ira Landrith,
president of Ward-Belmont college
of Nashville, Tenn, and was so
earnest, forceful and eloquent that
1t created profound impression.
DR.. Landrith began by congratuIat-
ing the graduates ON the fact that
they we're not their grandparents,
because of the far greater advant-
ages and opportunities of the pres
ent age, which he characterized as
the age of youth, in which there is
demand for the young for peace
as we'll as for war.
The secret of success he defined
as being ready for opportunity, and
hen drew a beautiful word picture
of opportunity standing on the
mountain top and inviting those
who have the courage and strength
to climb to positions where they can
render service to the human race.
Some will decline to make the at
tempt on the ground OF poor health;
others on the ground of lack of edu-
cation, and still others on the
ground that they have lived in such
way that their past lives will not
bear inspection. He scored the sell

beginning to realize the need of
economy for the present and for the
future. Industries are trying to use
materials and power and labor more
economically. New materials are
produced; how do their qualities
meet specific requirements? Where
and how may they be tested? Cor
rect information may lead to eco
nomical and successful results
wrong assumptions may end in fail
ure and disaster.
Science is making new discoveries
and invention renders present prac-
tees obsolete. Under what condi-
lions can the industries of the state
apply the advances to their specific
requirements?
The eastern part of this state is
agricultural. You have here a per-
petual supply of water power. You
have mineral wealth. But the prime
problem is how can the mechanic
arts aid agriculture! How can the
power of the rivers aid agriculture?
Some day this power will produce
fertilizer. Some day it will aid in
utilizing what are now waste pro-
ducts. These are the problems which
are before you.
To the young man who is now
leaving the engineering school there
is a fine field of service. Engin-
eering has transformed the condi-
tions of life and the opportunities
for engineering. Service has been
widely extended. Win you render
the service and measure up to the
opportunity.
