tions, for which our theories have proved inadequate. So we do not go out into the world believing that the comparatively small amount of knowledge which we have gained here will be sufficient to overcome every obstacle that may confront us. But if We take With us the appreciation that we must deal with conditions as we find them, if we bring to that task faculties of judgment and sympathy which have been heightened by our association with books and with men, if moreover, We go about our duties with courage and fidelity, then we have learned the lesson which the university would teach. I have referred to the practical affairs of collegiate life. Perhaps a word of explanation is necessary. For doubtless the phrase would force an incredulous gasp from the graduate of the more Spartan days of fifty years or so ago, the practical aifairs of whose collegiate life consisted largely in the hewing of wood at the. college wood-pile, and the drawing of water from the col- lege pump. Or perhaps my phrase might be greeted with the tolerant smile of the man of the worldj' to whom the term 4' practical aiairsv can only mean the earning of a livelihood, and for whom the measure of practicability is the yearly income, stated in dollars and cents. Such is not my meaning. Most of us have been under no necessity to earn our living. But our aifairs have been not less practical because their performance has involved no pecuniary reward. Indeed, it would seem that the college of to-day oifers to young men wider opportunities for development along the so-called practical lines than the busi- ness or professional worlds. It would seem that there are heavier duties and responsibilities resting upon the college man during his undergraduate days than would be entrusted to him in any other sphere of activity. We challenge those who decry the college course on the ground thatuit gives no opportunity for training along practical lines to show us where else young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two are publishing daily newspapers, and magazines of real literary merit, where else men of such years produce comic operas which would do credit to many a playwright, and put to shame many a play on Broad- way, where else young men may be found in entire control of such societies as our Halls, and of .clubs which are metropolitan in character. Or if the scoifers should remain unconvinced, we ' 21
