The baccalaureate sermon was
from Romans 1874. 1t, in substance,
reminded the graduates of the vast
store of literature within easy reach;
that they were fortunate in having
teachers scientifically trained to show
them the art, not only of acquiring
anything within the range Of possi-
bility but also the equally valuable
faculty of wasting no time searching
after the impossible. They were as
sured that acting on the class motto:
work and VIM" success in the
broad sense of the word was guaran-
teed; and therefore they should feel
bound to hand down to others liberal
ly from what they themselves had re-
ceived.
