The Governor of New York made an address: "Only hard work and hard study can carry the children of the sidewalks of New York, and"-the presidential candidate added-"the children of the country-to success and high honor."

But one can regret that in this great number of graduates from these many American universities and colleges there will be so few who will strive, not as a moth for a star, because the moth never does see the star, but as vigorous, vital human beings toward the high hills of existence which neither a contented faculty or a contented public will ever dream of. In such struggle there is little comfort and little pay--but in June when the future...
