ADVICE TO STUDENTS President Eliot of Harvard Addresses Incoming Freshman Class. Cambridge, Mas Oct. 4. President Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, addressed the incoming frehman class at the fac ulty reception yesterday evening. He said in part! "The foundation of all durable satis faction in life is that each man be a clean, wholesome, vigorous animal. This means that drunkenness, licentiousneoa, and dirt of all kind must be avoided. "But this is not enough. It I the intellectual life that gives the educated man the real satisfaction that endures. Tho cultivation of vigorous, intense, mental work each day is bound to fur nish one of the greatest and most last ing satisfactions that come in life. Don't take three minute to do what might just as well lie done in two minute. Don't faka four year in college to do what might be done just as well in three jears. " "The third great source of satisfac tion is a decent reputation. In order to secure this, be a man of honor. Yet act toward all women as thought you were going to marry some pure woman imjde a month. Be honest to all, and more than this, be generous, especially to those poorer than yourself."
