...make valuable contributions to every department of literature. We feel that whatever man has done, we can do, forgetting that we are not yet full grown men. We incline to the mistaken view that all the critical reviews, essays, stories, plays, poems, and what not, we write, must be worth printing. To be sure, it may be very good training to attempt a poem which proves to be anything but poetry; but to publish such a failure is foolish...

He takes for his subject, "The Case of the Educated Un-employed," It is impossible to give here any of his ideas. But the address is worth reading to any man who feels, in trying to choose his profession, as if he were about to embark on an unknown sea. The language is simple. The ideas are easy of comprehension. If they could be read and digested by all college men, the next generation will find fewer...
