DR.. Aked,s Address 81
pr. Aked'sj commsneemsnt address
today was In part az follows: Ss 55g.
;AboIt twenty years ago William
James wrote book which Won him
praise from all over the land. the
idea that he brought out was q new
.ofie, ana 40 effective that later he .de-
duced u into chapterin xnother 6e
HIS books, the chapter being one. s0k
the most treasurer -of the volume.
The thing that ne brought out val the
moral equivalent Of war. Az In the
study OF science one hears much OF
the mechanical equivalent of, heat. %
there might, well be made known Z
moral equivalent OF war. III.
THE phrase Ii stronger and greater
today after the WorlG war than when
James invented IT, AftAr the hpFEpr
Of seeing stretches Of fields golden

things to look upon II rough the de-
structions OF war--after all. this, the
fact Of the existence OF 1 moral equiv
alent Of. war stands out greater than
ever before.
Storm Ccntezs san.
. All this destruetion. the poisoninf
Of millions OF men by gas. the shat
tering .of, milnona OF, limbs and lives
the youth OF the world achieved
nothing. The storm 6enters before
the war are even more SO now. In
Europe, in Asia even more, and in
Africa. too, people stand ready TO
spill blood. at any mofieiit. II war
were declared, all the heroic, the
chivairous, the gallant, the best Of
our country's and the worlds youth
would so out again to mutilate one
another, to struggle..in bloody con-
flict, just because of deviltsh schem-
ing on. the part of some wicked old
men. ae 4
James asked for a moral equiva-
lent OF war, something compatible
with the highest ideals Of our life,
something doing away with the aw-
fulness Of the battle field:
Learn when to Die. ).
Members Of the. graduating class.
shall you be. surprised II I say, to you
in the words of Rubkin, that YOU will
not d. what you are capable Of doing
unless you make, up your mind now as
to the due oScasion OF death. Allows
know. the due occAstop of death. The
soldier, II he, put beh..,ds him dis
obedience. tfeactlery, deceit, wppng.
and in front Of him disease and dan
ger and DEATH. he will go forward,
for he knows the due occasion and
will meet It.
..But is the soldier the only one who
meets the occasion? The physician
does. He goes to his patients IN pes
thence and in the face, Of. all con-
tagion to the, risk of his health and
life rather than desert ,therna He
knows the due occasion Of death. And -

than preach what he knows is false;
he knows. And the lawyer who
would rather give his life than see att
injustice done-he knows. So adoeS
the merchant who would choose death
rather than sell adulterated ana pQis-
oned goods. SO must we know the oc-
casion and meet it.
Work for Works sake. /. !.
Another. thing, ladies and gentle
men of the graduating class. you must
work and the pay for work that YOU
do. You must know the. di6efence
between work and its reward. Come
of you have won honors and prizes
while in school You 60 put INTO life
looking for more and greater, h6nors,
for success. And with all my heart
I hope that you win them, hoii6rs and
rewards, material hon6ra.ar and re-
wards. q iissis e, -.
But there is something more worth
having than reward Tor your. work.
It lies in the work itself. You should
like good pay for what you: do, but II
is more important that YOU like the
work better than. the pay 1t may Il
to haYe a good salary, But, ne, should
like preaching better than the. pay
ne gets for it.. He should ike rather
to pKeach without getting paid than
to get paid without preaching. SO TIT
doctor ought to choose to- lose Ills. pa
tient rather than do that which, would
endanEer the. life sof l. person. And
the lawyer should choose rather t
lose his fees than to get them, and
lose sight of Justice. 81
You must choose to serve your work
or pay for your work. Ifs:you plac.
pay first, you are On the devils side
If you place work first, you are OF
Gods side. And in the accomplish
ment of a thing. you have the l&tis
faction of work: well done, the salts
faction of an artist in his work. Th,
best work Is never done for pay.
| Let me say another word to- you
entering upon. your work ia tn,
world. If a/thing is worth doing, i
is worth doing badly. Now. don
misunderstand me. didn't sAyssi
was worth doing well. That III to,
old a statement The real tragedy Ii
