The University Student;. BROOKS ADAMS says: ' The Oriental trade has enriched every community that has controlled it. Constantinople, then the Italian cities, then Holland, then Lon- don, rose td world-centers of wraith and power by this trade. When the Panama Canal is open for ships, the- Oriental trade- will pass along the Southern Coast. Some city in the South will be the center of this business. This city, following the law. will spring into large wealth and power. This city in the South will then become the point of world interest, wealth, and power. Such a city always lifts the community into large things. Such is the law of destiny. The great era in the life of the South is just ahead of us It is a large and noble life that opens to the young man to-day. How shall he fit himself to take advantage of the opening? The old method, good as it was, evidently can not meet the demands. Then the Leader in our public life was the politician; the Ler in our social life was the landlord. The South produced thus two types of men. The politician was the center of power; the landlord was the center of culture. ' Idle South is now confronted with a complex condition and a deeper problem. Our d stiny demands a new type of great man. It is all right to defend the local attachment, bu1 we must understand that the deeper attachments are the larger relations. It is right to nourish the local interest, but we must understand that the universal interest is supreme. Tlie next great man in the South will reveal these virtues: He will know power, the power of industrialism, and will be vitally associated with it. He will have the ability to face the facts, to look the conditions of the hour squarely in the face, and to get his rule of aetion from these eonditions. He will, also, be able to look far along the line- a thousand years in the past and a hundred years in the future. These stern virtues — power, intellectual honesty, culture — will be the marks that differentiate the next type of great man. Business, science, and philosophy are the sources of these virtues. Business gives us power; science teaches us to be honest; philosophy trains us to look far and deep. Where do we find these three fused into living spirit? Talk with the strongest student in the University and he will reveal to you this living spirit. This ideal is the very bread of life to him. It is an inspiring privilege and a fearful responsibility to teach the Uni- versitv student of to-dav. H. H. W. 13
