fc : ' • r?- ;: 7 ' ' ' frf ' il» i ' i ' ffiWv v ' WAgtnhu ®l|trty-fiu If ars uittl| iliittkn U ' I the close of the current school ear, 1 will lia e completed thirty- five years of teaching Psychology and Ethics in Bucknell. I made my first introduction to Ethics in the spring of 1864, in the study of jMexander ' s Moral Science, and to Psychology while waiting for discharge from the Army in 1865, through Haven ' s Mental Philoso- phv. I taught these subjects in Ke ' stone Academy for twenty years, ni}- work being accepted as of College grade by Bucknell and other schools. Vnv thirt -five years, I have lectured and taught along these lines in Bucknell, hav- ing read while so doing more than a thousand volumes. But my chief study has been, not books, but life. 1 tried to .stimulate my pu|iils to igorous and independent thinking, and to energetic and righteous doing. During lifl - years I had always with me the perplexities of scholastic and financial nianagenicnt. as head successively of the two institutions. My recreation and refuge was in stud ' and teaching. My major study was the broad field of Philosophy: my minors the fields, no less broad, of Political History ;md Literature. These nuUually illuminated each other. In these thirt --five vears, I ha e had a great and steadily increasing respect for the x ' oung men and women who ])ursue ctjurses of study, a res])ect liased both on what they are and o n what so many of them come to be. ( )f the nine or ten thousand students I have had, very few have failed to ]ilay an honorable and useful part in the world, and many of them haxe liecome tlistinguisbed. Thev have usually good heredity. They came, nine tenths of them, from Chris- tian homes and Christian nurture. Man lives the life his ]iarents ha e from his childhood trained him for. If he has energy and dri e. he will at times go oS on a tangent, Intt soon he will zigzag back to mirnial. This 1 ha e found to be true. If anv one is disposed to be despondent as to the future let him mingle and work with iung men. There he will find respect and gratitude, and learn the secret of perpetual youth. W hen Simon Cameron visiting Lewisbvu ' g was .asked how he though far past eighty, he still retained control of his part}-, he replied, By always working with ycjung men, and ne er telling old jokes.
