QI ' S TKZJZZIQILZ-072 S COlXllXlONl',Y used, the word graduation is misleading-conr mencement is better. You have been graduatedg this means that you have been admitted to, or advanced a degreeg you have taken a step, a long one, a step in the right direction, but om' step nevertheless. Conwell says of Garfield, He conducted himself as if his graduation was to make no break in his pursuit of knowledge. Consider your lives from the earliest school days up to this time. You will appreciate your present position more fully when you have given careful considera- tion to what was said by Hypatia: Life is an unfoldment and the further we travel the more truth we comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond. ln other words, step by step, with the help and guidance of your teachers, you have learned how to learn. You now commence to learn for yourself from the things that are at your own door in each day's experience. From now on your progress becomes an extremely personal affair, depending upon one element: work. You will do well to appreciate this fact at once, for many times in our lives we are compelled to recognize the truth of the saying, Foresight is better than hindsight. At times hindsight compels us to appreciate the value of foresight. l mention work for the reason that it is remarkable how often suc- cessful and worthwhile men and women agree regarding the requirements for a well rounded and successful life. If the things these men and women say are true, and we have every reason to believe they are, adoption of their secret formula of work at this time will come under the heading of foresight Here is what has been said concerning the formula for a worthwhile life: Let our schools teach the nobility of labor and the beauty of lizfman .s'v1'-zfit'r.- Peter Cooper. I congratulate poor young men upon being born to that ancient and honorable degree which renders it necessary that they shall devote themselves to lmrrl work.- Andrew Carnegie. The 1nan who makes it the habit of his life to go to bed at nine o'clock usually gets rich, and is always reliable. Of course, going to bed does not make him rich, l merely mean that such a man will in all probability be up early in the morning and do a big dc1y's work, so his weary bones put him to bed early. Rogues do their work at nightg honest men work by day: it is all a matter of habit.--lohn -lacob Astor. I do not value fortune, the low of Iulmr is my sheet anchor.-Stephen Girard.

07Z716f In sud lone lanes at close of afternoon VV hen coming shadows creep from tree to tree, And cuddling song of some far-journeyed hee Drones in the heart of gentle, drooping bloom, And down the mountain side a first festoon Of dreamy darkness falls alone and free- I walk, and rounding rocks upon the lea Stand hreathless ut the heuuty of the moon. Hen so, in ways of slowly saddening thought I wonder if there isn't some strange purpose And' strive in vain, self-arguing, to rend The deepening shades with which my life is fraught But what at sudden hrightness fills the place- My friend-it is the memory of your face.
