more interesting speaker than ID

dress before The Chamber of Com
f mcrce at the Armory talked upon the
r subject OF dreaming and Doing.

on community service md commune
ty ideals, emphasizing through his
entire speech the fundamental p1i1-
ciplas upon which all Chambers OF
Commerce operate that of visionine
in our minds what we would have
i Cambridge to be, and drawing dis
tinctiun between wishing and deSlr-
ing. TU wish for anything will not
necessarily brig about d, tulfillment
but to desire in the right way invaI-
iably carries with it successful con-
clusion But to desire alone is not
all that is niece ssary, for it must then
have a medium to brin& it to this
conclusion, which is the purpose OF
the Cambridge Chamber of Com
merce This age may De character
lied as the age Of science, and the
age of efficiency. The German ma
ton dealt iii science, but only the
kind that could be measured by the

which could be given tie acid test.
