The texts chosen by President Dwight for ‘his baccalaureate sermon on Sunday were as follows: I Corinthians, 4:18; Phillipians, 2:4, and 3:13 31 Corinthians, 3:22. The President said that the day was in itself a reminder of the passing of an epoch in life and was full of sugges- tion of the maturer activity that lay be- fore each educated man as he went forth into the world. The day must therefore be one of retrospect as well as prospect. The call to the university student is the same as that which comes to other men. It has its source in the experience through which he has passed and that is alone peculiar, and has become a part of his own individual possession and personality. The life of the coming years has thus a larger significance. TO THE CLASS. In conclusion, the President, speak- ing to the Class, said: “I have spoken thus to you, my young friends of the University, all of you younger than myself yet of the same brotherhood. These things I believe to be the Christian message of love. The college years with all their joys and happy experiences have come to their end for you and memory alone can deal with them or keep them. I trust that the remembrance of them may be as delightful as the experiences themselves were in their season, and that your rec- ollections may have for you as much inspiring power as those which came to the best among the men who have moved onward before you here. The manly years are opening before you and you are looking upon them rev- erently yet hopefully. My wish is that when hope changes into reality your realization may answer fully to the hope, and that the blessings of the yet distant day may be but the measure of your present thought. The hour which divides the college years from the manly years is an hour for holy pur- pose and grand resolve. The prayer ' which I would offer for you is that your purpose may be to live the life of the soul, the life that is unseen, the life of service for others and that forever “presses onward to that which is better and to the realization of the better. May this be your experience as you imitate the Lord Jesus Christ and grow into His likeness, and may the peace of God which passeth all understanding be ever present with you.” > 0, a Cee Erratum in Honorary Degree Address, The date 1894 in the eleventh line of the address of Professor Fisher in the presentation of Mr. Wadsworth for an honorary degree should, of course, read 1864.
