The Baccalaureate Sermon.
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.”

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

typographical error was discovered.
