...applied science, or education. A man who thinks he wants to be a doctor may well hear what Dean Christian has said about a medical career but also what President King will say tonight about "The Claims of the Ministry on Strong Men." The Union lectures are meant to teach that all the professions are equally worthy, and that all make equal demands on men who are attracted by the call to hard work leading to positions of influence and serviceableness.

...movement in education. There is undoubtedly a movement toward making all instruction objective and practical. Mr. von Kaltenborn's plan looks in that direction. There is also a movement toward restricting a school or a college to those parts of any subject which a school or college can teach. Mr. von Kaltenborn's plan does not look in that direction.

...Smith then declared that his purpose was to teach the men in the University to reverence their brother Americans, because they are true men. We admire courage, and yet accord it but small protection against the "mud" thrown by the unscrupulous newspapers. It is our duty to praise the good and to take little notice of the bad; and it will eventually disappear. Then we can obey the commandment "Love thy brother as thyself" or, in the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "Give every man a square deal...
