The other is the partially educated man, of narrow views, with attitudes. which in boyhod days we used to des- cribe as Smart Aleck." He is the eX ponent of doctrine which he hugs to his heart as the truth, but which in it's essence is the blackest sham. This smart Aleck" is one of the most daE gerous menaces to American inst;tu tions. He is found not only in depart mental organizations but not infre- quently in the students chair. There is danger, I tell you, lurking in what in these days we term Bolshevisn;. Be altruistic. Let not the strife ot the times hurl you back into the dark ages of individualism. As you seek to serve the group or mass see to it that doctrines of destruction take neither your time nor your adherence.
 You are away from home. Home, outside of Heaven is the dear est thing on earth q speak advisedly for 1 am one of those simple-minded folk who believe that Heaven exists on earth) and yet it is not an uncommon thing to see great masses of. students in America, after they have left home, begin to feel that the things for which home stood are, after all, a bit old fashioned and hardly be incorporated in the new life. But the things for which father st9od-humble tho his life may have been or conspicuously as he may have served his fellowmen if he were a good and true man (and he was both or you would not be here) the things for which father stood are the most valuable things in all human experience. The things for which mother stood are Voiced in the things which she expects of you. Rather than break with home, rather than forget home, you should endeav- or to tie yourselves more closely with home than you have ever done before. The frequent letter which you write home on Sunday afternoon and on Wednesday evening should express not only the good things which are coming to you thru college life, but also your appreciation of the good things which have come to you from the home. When you come to college you should associate yourself with the religious organizations of the community. Among with Heaven and the home, another of the good things is your church. The church stands for an ex- pression of the religious instinct, and stands for the best things in life. We have in our community the full range of church denominations. If you belong to the great body of Cath olics, see that your coming to this campus makes you not careless of the blessings that may come to you with the relationship that is yours thru church membership. If you belong to any of the Protestant denominations, seek your church home at once. If you belong to any organizations which have as their aim ennobling of self and helping humanity tie up again with them and give "your bit" to make their work successful and effective. You will find many opportunities on the campus for new friendships. The influence of these friendships may be inspiring and may bring to you what you cannot get from any other source. I urge you to take hold upon all in fluences for good which can come to you in your college life. Make friends among both faculty and students, close, lifelong friends.
 If you are here for fun I hope you get it. It is a worthy ambition. Have all the fun you can, all the fun
