PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS HENRY Gr. TEIGAN. ELLOW-CLASSICS, Ladies and Gentlemen: There are certain days L that standpre-eminent in the lives of individuals, and certain days !L that stand pre-eminent in the history of nations. They mark the turning-point for better or worse in the life of the individual or a ' nation.- While the approach of 110 near day may be looked upon , pg the destinyof nations,yetwe do believe that it shall be a land- lives of a score of individuals. These individuals constitute the gem of Valparaiso University of 1908. .Vave met here this evening to review the past, enjoy the present, and ' the future. ' future outlook is bright indeed, and we look forward with great ;0 the work before us. This is a delightful age in which to live cam purpose to make it still more delightful. The present has many over the past; and the chief reason for this lies in the fact that ad man is developed. 'If we look back at ancient Sparta, we find 13km Lene-sided, the physical man alone being developed. At Athens :was developed, but the moral side of man was largely ignored. gh priding herself on having duplicated both these phases of Greek 1a, was even more degenerate than the former cities in respect to Thus we are truly fortunate to live in an agethat affords like oppor- Qr developing the three essentials of the perfect man. Men and i needed to help revolutionize the systems that have preyed upon rationality crept into him. They are needed to help man divorce ,Lm superstition and ignorance and to help him investigate, think erstand. For this work of helping humanity different talents have , 11 us. Paul says: itHe gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; ,g, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachersfl It was necessary in of Paul for the Almightylto do this, and we find it just as necessary A man who wins laurels as well as souls while doing evangelistic work takes a good pastor. But we are all the more thankful for that fact; rwise there would be too much waste energy in making no division , LAnother feature of todayls possibilities is that in advancing new all can work unhampered by so-ealled superiors of church and state.
