the two years work and graduating. He

or of graduating from the institution.
The age of to-day is much changed
from the ages of years ago. Now an
open door and glad hand awaits those
that step out into life and apply for
work. Those that labor not have no
reward" said the speaker
IN stepping into life, one has to choose
his or her work" he continued, "and
people are willing to help anyone that
helps himself and people that do work
for themselves are the ones that rise
TO the higher standard. Not only work
for yourself alone, but work for the adj
vantages of others and advantages will
come to you for so doing. Choose an
obligation that will build up your life
more than in a common way.
Things you take in are what make
YOU. Re the kind OF man or woman
that will make you a worthy citizen
wherever YOU are in the world. Be able
to stand up under anything that may
fall upon your shoulders. No matter
what the burden may be, stand mp I'M
der it and keep ahead"
Work, and hard work, is what makes
a successful man or woman, according to
Congressman Plemley. Forget yourself,
and be persistent in any undertaking
you attempt. Make your work succeed
in this way for it surely viii If you are
persistent.

Pile have said that Vermont Is decadent
but it is not so. Vermont is not deead
emit" He strongly advised the students

have sincere regard for it. If opportun

forget to be loyal TO Vermont. Ii was
on this point that his address ended.
