MA HSU HALL! Contimud fiom Pirt I'ayr. pant au'l present ausii, does not briojj new tlutifn, new responsibili ties, and even new dangers, to thote into whin) hands ha been entrusted the welfare of Pacific University, and If any there are, to point how, In my feeble judgment, they might be met and overcome. "I'atiflc University was founded and nurtured under difficulties. It was not the child of wealth. It was not lxrn in luxury. The men who laid its foundations, deep and strong, endured toil, hard-drip, privation ami wlf-sacriflce. Their contribu tions were not from great wealth, the overt! w of redundant riches, but the labor of hand and brain and the de votion of heroic lives. They relin quished the opportunities to accumu late wealth, that they might perforin a cherished duty. They Imbued others; the entire community, with their enthusiastic devotion to the oIiJim t of their affection and to the cause of education. They end u ml und risked poverty for themselves and their children, that they might enrich the institution they no loved This enthusiastic devotion to the Institution and to education was of far greater value than any mere H nancial endowment could be. "The earlier teachers were well Huited to the community and existing conditions. They did not work merely for wages, or fame, or riches, but to erfonn well a sacred duty; to lay broad and deep and true the foundation of an institution that in generations to come should bring untold blessings to the children of a great commonwealth. "The earlier students, themselves, suited to the times and surroundings, could no more refuse to Imbibe some what of this spirit, than (lowers can refuse to bloom in spring, or grain refuse to ripen under summer suns, "In tho main, they, themselves, were the children of people of small means, and in some cases, of extreme poverty. They came from farms and workshops. Vacations were HjH'nt In the labor necessary to supply funds for the next school year. To acquire education, they must strive. Without wealth, then, or in prospect, they looked forward only to a life of labor. They sought education to enable them to do better and more labor. They had no thought but to be the architects of their own for tunes. With them, education was the serious preparation for the bus iness of life. They fought trained faculties, as a necessary equipment in a business or professional career. With them, mental training was a means to an end, and the end was to do bent and most successfully their life work, doing through college meant work and privation, not a pleasnnt pastime. Among the stu dents, young men largely predom inated, and the refining Influences of the gen tier sex were absent. It was inevitable that their sur roundings should deeply Influence the earlier students. The natural tendency of their environment was to develop men of rude, practical strength, lacking in refinement, but forceful, strong In will, earnest of purpose, determined In character, and able and willing to work. Were he not present, I could point out this, the first graduate of 1'aciflc Univer sity, in the strength and vigor of his Intellectual faculties, and the manli ness and frankness of his character Is typical of the best products of those times and surroundings. Home, un doubtedly, resisted the influences surrounding them, but the tendency was to develop students of that class. How well, how faithfully and with what benefit to the state and to the northwest Pacific University has done its work under past conditions, I leave to others. 1 believe, how ever, I can add that there are few graduates of Pacific University of whom the Alma Mater is ashamed. None have erlslud usm the gal lows; none are in the penitentiary, and few, very few, have disgraced their Alma Mater by becoming niemlsTs of the Oregon legislature. "Hut enough of the past. That we know. Its work and product we have with us, and can Inspect at will. Hut what of the future? The sur roundings to which I have alluded are fast uisHpHaring, and all i change. There is no greater contrast iH'twccn the magnificent hall we meet to-day to dedicate, and the in significant Utile wooden building wherein Scott received his first col lege bf so ns, than between the influ ences and conditions that surrounded his student lire, and those under which future students will lie devel oped. The incentive of need to toil is fast disapHaring. Physical labor Is pitied, not honored. The plain food and clothing, uncarpeted room, deiiendenee upon one's self, have given place to more comfortable, even luxurious surroundings, pur chased by the labor of others. Up holstered cushions iiMn swift mov ing cars 'has displaced the invlgorat ing ride to and from school in stage coach and upon horseback. As our state and the Northwest increases In wealth and prosperity, the proHrtion of students to whom labor Is not necessary for their sup port, will increase. They will dom inate the school and the community They, will Impress their own ideas and Judgments upon the tastes, the customs, the fashions in work, in recreation and in swlal life. Pew now, and fewer In the years to come, Weklng admission to your halls, will Mr trrlfloes to Qme. The sacrl privation, the -lf-denll, fj&U going of coveted pleasures, or needed recreations, will be the lot of those who send them here. The tendency in future will he to require that the student must have clothing, rooms, furniture, living and all of his surroundings in keeping with the elegance and splendor of the build' lng we dedicate to-day. He must toil not, neither must he spin. lie must have no part or lot with manu al labor. If he labors at all, it must be called sport. His toll must not be useful. It must not be fur com pensation. In oneway, be may do physical work, even violently, and to such an excess as to lower rather than increase vitality; to drain the vital forces needed for Intellectual growth, but It must not be for com' pensatlon ; it must not be called work, and must be called "athletic sport." Moderate work, in manner and amount, sufficient for manly health and development, without unnecessary strain upon the vital force, for a compensation that would relieve his own wants, or lessen the strain upon those at home will be discouraged. Perhaps somcono is saying that the methods of the past are still ojien, and education can be acquired In the same old way. In the first place, it is not necessary to my pur pose to deny this. I am only iH.int ing out the tendency of the future collegiate environments, and depict lug what will be done in a majority of cases. Put I must combat the suggestien. Old methods cannot be adopted under present and future conditions. Things that were ap plauded then would be pitied now, and a young man who long endures pity is lost. Methods admired in the father would be sneered at in the son. A young man, who in the fu ture should ierform the manual la bor necessary to pay his way through college, such as was honored In the past, would be admired by a few, pitied by others and neglected by tho majority. "Under these changes of condi tions, what will be the result? What must be the new duties and responsi bilitles of Pacific University? "Where the student life Is made one or ease and comfort; where education is Imparted, rather than acquired; when culture and knowl edge are hung about the student like garment, instead of being woven inte every fiber of his being; it re quires no prophetic girt to foresee and foretell the result. Unless counteracted, the tendencies will be to produce a cultured idler, an ele gant fritter, a sort of summer butter fly, a refined Imbecile, one, who, if without income will endeavor to live by his wibi, rather than by his labor. "Hefore discussing the means necessary to counteract the Influences that produce such results, let us in- piire for a moment, as to what are some of the chief requisites of the education of youth. They are two fold. First: Such as are requisite for the welfare of the student himself. "Second: Much as are demanded by the welfare of society and the interests of the state. "As to the first, there is no one thing more absolutely essential to Intellectual strength and culture than sound body, physical vigor and health. Without these there can be no intellectual growth worthy the name. In perfect manhood or womanhood there must be both mental and physical development. (Jreat mental growth can come only from great mental work and struggle. These cannot be where the body Is weak and the vital forces are low. "To attempt to force education upon Invalids, is to invite disaster. It is to Increase the ills that imbittcr life and paralyze effort. "(Sod has given us physical, as well as mental swers. The com plete and harmonious development of the one cannot be attained without the full development of the other, lie who craves mental strength and intellectual ower must see to it that every physical faculty is instinct with vigor and vital force. Put Ixslily strength can come only with bodily labor. The swers of the body, like those of the mind, are developed only by ls-ing used. The physically lazy student will ilot long succeed. If there is temporary suc cess, he draws Un vital capital and the mind consumes the body. ICase is Incompatible with good scholar ship. If, then, college fashionjs In coming too fastidious to permit, much less encourage manual labor in students, what must be done to pro cure needed physical powers, strengthen the will and develop a manly virility of character? I shall not attempt to answer the question. I am pointing out the need. I leave to our educators to find the remedy. Hut I want .merely to suggest that tiefore our college professors close the doors of the gymnasiums, or condemn too severely the rude, but manly and invigorating sports, as brutal and barbarian, and seek to stamp them out, and drive Hercules from the laciiliy, lliey should tie vise some means to supply their place, without their excesses and dangers, and inject manly force and. virility into student life. "In a vigorous, closely contested and prorly regulated game of f(st ball, a keen, manly player will fre quently acquire more self-reliance, quickness of perception, decision of character, uncomplaining endurance, force of will, physical courage, un conquerable determination in the face of opposition, and niaotcry of self, how to Imr defeat gracefully and victory with nxxlcration, than is Imparted by the most searching col lege examination. Yet all these qualities are as essential as intellect ual culture to round out and com 0 0 plete his cquipmeut for li A. Helter a few broken shins and bruised noses, now and then, than too much maud lin sentimentality, masquerading In dyspeptic, hollow-chested imbecility "Put there Is another essential re quisite for the student's permanent success. It is to have a clear, de fined, settled purpose in life. I do not mean that it is essential, or even desirable, that al the beginning of his studies, a student should select his future occupation. Put he should have a determined urone to do something, and to do ii with all his might. A determination to use his faculties and swers to some practic al end, to make his life one of achievement. His ideal must not be a life of cultured ease, and a continu ance of pleasurable sensation. He must not be content merely to be, he must strive to do. He should deter mine that when student days are over, he will take up his life-work with earnestness and power. "And here again, the difficulties will be greater lu the future than in the past. In the pioneer days ot the institution when none hud wealth, tho needs of the studeut forced him to action. With the increase i,f wealth, the proportion of students whose necessities comsl to a life of labor, will grow constantly let-". There will be an increase of thote who attend school as a fashionable way to send youthful time, and who hope that in some undefined way the possession of an education will enable them to drink deeper of the pleasures of life, ot those who regard education us an ornament, not an equipment for use. This class of men encumber tho earth. They are like the mechanic, who burnishes and sharpens and puis in srfect order every implement in his workshop, not for use, but to repose in idleness upon the shelf. 'I ho in tellectual faculties tihould be trained and sharetied and perfected, not for show, but for actual use. They should be the implements by which valiant service is done in the active duties of life. "There will be others seeking edu cation in the hope that iu some way thereby, success in life will come without toil. Vain delusion ! To those, I would merely say, when seeking a subsistence from the lalKir of others, rather than your own, have a care that prison burs do not lose around you; that the walls of the penitentiary do not encompass you, and that the gallows does not laim jou for its own. Work, in cessant, well directed work is the ouly condition upon which an edu cated man can keep his faculties in order, can attain the zenith of his powers, can discharge the'duties he owes to himself, his family, his country and his Ood. "Again, in directing the educatiou of youth, the rights, the needs and welfare of the general public, of the state and nation, are to be considered. The education of the citizen should be directed along those lines that will best promote tho general wel fare. This is not merely the duty of the citizen; it is the right of the state. This is especially true in our day and generation, and within our own young state. Here, und now, no parent liears alone the burden of the education of his children. The most complete, self-made man is not wholly self-made. The locality in Oregon where the public school is not cupported by public funds Is a rare exception. There is not a col lege in our state but would close Its doors to-morrow, if compelled to de pend upon tuition for one-half of Its expenses. And these contributions, coming from all over our land, are not levied upon culture, or refine ment, or piety. WhYther derived from taxation, or from the gifts of successful business men. the funds from which schools and academies, colleges and universities are main tained, come from the material and industrial interests. In determining the education of youth, It is, there fore, tilting and right that the public welfare should Ik considered. It is also fitting that the material and industrial interests, from which edu cational institutions are supported, should be given careful consideration. And this Is well for the cause of edu cation itself. Without a fair share of Industrial prosjierity, and some leisure, there can be little intellectual advancement. Where that is Hltxrut, the time of youth cannot !e spared for educational purposes. Children crying for bread, and the home in the bands of the sheriir, are not ele ments peculiarly titled for elevated thoughts, or for Intclhvtunl growth and refinement. What ate the material needs of our own state? We have a fertile soil, a Iteautiful and healthful climate, nia,' nillceut forests, great mineral wealth, unlimited water power, a population that from a pioneer ancestry has de rived strength, w ith vigorous health, marked individuality mid keen intel lects. Hut our forests are not occu pied, our mines are not worked, and their w width lies dormant. Manufac turing enterprises are undeveloped; our farms and flocks are mortgaged to non-residents, while the simplest articles, almost our entire needs, are supplied from outside the state at enormous cost. The twaddling clothes of our infants, the covering uixn our IsnIs, the wares and, large ly, the food upon our tables, the clothing upon our Inula s, the insur ance, both uixin our lives find prop. erty, the tools of our trade, the ma chinery and implements of farm nnd nop, uie wagons, me imggies hivI saddles and wheels uin w hich we ride, the books we readall these and much more are supplied from abroad, causing a drain un our ti nanrial re-ourees, that n plaee in the world but Oregon could endure and live. "The one item of Insurance aloue takes from our state annually many millions of dollars. The yearly ex enditures for manufactured articles Is startling. And could the amounts sent out of the state each year to pay the interest on private, public, inu nicipal and cororate indebtedness be added together, and the sum total placed before you, It would startle the most conservative person present, "All this should and must be changed. There can be no great general prosjx'rity uuder these condl tions. Ho long as we undertake to support ourselves, and contribute in addition such enormous sums to other ieople, we shall have all too little time to educate ourselves or our children. These things must cease, Oregonians must own and develop Oregon. Our debts must be paid uot repudiated. Our mines must be develoiied, forests converted luto wealth, factories established, and w must supply our own needs. To do this, there must Is work, physical la' bor, tersisteutly carried on and Intel ligently directed "Will our schools Hid colleges aid in the accomplishment or this, or w ill they detract from it? Will they give labor, greater capacity, better methods, more skill, nobler aims? Or will they destroy physical jiower and spoil good workmen to turn out mental dudes to prey upon the indus trial community? The very essence ot education is to have tho faculties for use, prepare them to do, fit them for actual work. Education should not be sought for its own sake, but for what it can aid us to accomplish It should uot be coveted to enable us to pass through life without work but that we may do more and better work. The upbuilding of our state must be the work of industrial forces. manual and ipechanlcal latsjr, direct ed with vigor, skill and intelligence, Our iustitut ons of learning will not contribute to this result by turning out only doctors, lawyers, ministers, teachers and writers. These are well enough in their way, and when their numliers are limited to the needs of the public, but the excess beyoud this becomes au unmitigated evil, and a burden to the community. A bad teacher, a consciousless preacher, blackmailing writer, a pettifogging luwyer and a quack doctor are the most useless and despicable people on earth. What a community it would be, composed only of these? "The question Is frequently asked whether American colleges are exert ing the full influences they are capa ble of upon the dally life of the great muss of the people. Whether they are in touch and sympathy and con tact with the every-day social and business life of the citizen. Whether the educational classes, iu the main, do not hold themselves aloof, like oil upon water, unmixed with the great mass of their countrymen. "Trained minds should lead every where. When we consider the vast number graduated from our institu tions of learning every year; when we reflect that Ills the picked minds, the favorite sons, the ones who have shown most mental capacities, that are educated in the largest numbers, we feel that educated men should be everywhere foremost. They should be the first in both public and private life. They should lead, not only as statesmen and in the profession, but in agriculture, manufacture, trade, commerce, and in every industrial pursuit. Yet it is a lamentable fact that they do uot lead in industrial pursuits. Why is this? Is not thought and mental power valuable ukii the farm, in the factory, In commerce and in great business un dertakings? Yet, who has not seen the man of fine Intellect, splendid ed ucation, a clear thinker, of refined character, fail Igiiomiuiously in his business career; while his neighbor, scant of education, With less Intellect ual power, but w ith firm will, deter mined, self-reliant, strong and force ful, push on and win success-? Why is this? Hccause the faculties of the latter were all concentrated and wielded and directed, without waste of energy, to the accomplishment of a purpose. While, with the former, intellectual faculties had been trained at the expense of his forcefulniMs. It is not necessary that the development of intellect should beat the expeuse of will power, determination of char acter and other essential qualities of manhood. All should be developed together. And yet, the strong, force ful men of America are rarely from our colleges. Prilliant intellect, splendid power of thought, without a forceful character to drive it to a purMse, a steam engine to impel It forward ujK.n the road to success, is useless to Its owner nnd to the world. There Is an Impalpable something in human character as essential to cue cess as mere intellect. When colleges learn to develop, rather than reprr it, education will have made a Ire mendunus forward movement. "Let it not Is? said of this institu tion that it is training the intellect at the expense of force and power. It Is not sufficient that religion and morals are added. Heaut and good lies, sweetness and light in the lan guage of Mather Arnold are well enough, but to Is? available there must I) la-hind them strong foice to drive theni on the road to usefulness. "If, then, educational Institutions Hre to upbuild the state, thry must educate the industrial classes more; they mu-t turn fewer men into pro fessloii.. They must teach more how to woik, and less how to scaie from it. 1K not misunderstand me. J am not contending that college and universities must teach trades or practical occuitations. I am not con- tending that they must enntraei their studies, or content themselves with teaching only those studies too often called practical. Any study that makes mental brawn, that enlarges. strengthens and refines the faculties is practical. I would iu nowise narrow or contract the foundation upon which the intellectual character is to be built. Put I believe our educa tioual Institutions, morning, noon and night, from the beginning to the end of the year, In season and out of season, should Instill the spirit and the will to work, should impress up on the minds of students, until the conviction Is woven into their being, that faculties are to be trained for use, not ornament; for work, not holiday display. That life is earnest and should be of value. That any human being, but more esp-cially an edu cated man of health, who des-s not enrich the world by living in it, is criminal in his neglect of duty. They should be taught that lulnir is honor able, that Idleness, even If disguised under the name of 'the refined repose of geutleuieu of leisure' Is neglect of duty, and dishonorable. "We are the heirs of all the ages, Every drop of blood ever shed for the advancement of Justice, right or lib- erty, was for us. of every buttle ever won against oppression and wrong, iu the world's history, the fruits of the victory are ours. Men of science have toiled, martyrs have su tiered, heroes have conquered, ar. lists have created, all humanity dur ing all times has struggled and pro gressed, that we might be free, enlightened, prosperous and happy. Civilization, with all that it means the difference between ourselves and (he cannibals of the South Sea is lands has been Is-queathed from a generous, but laborious ancestry. The vast achievements of science, and art, and literature, and religion and ethics, this vast civiliz si world, with all it contains its treasures of art. he marvelous achievements of science its splendor of wealth is ours, not by achievement, but by inheritance. .Shall we, and especially those who have enjoyed the blessings of educa tion, receive all this, and, like a base, ungrateful, spendthrift son, dissipate our inheritance, and bestow nothing upon either our contemporaries or pos terity, and then consider our lives honorable? "It Is not necessary that all work should be manual. The hardest work is mental. Put those who are train ed for mental occupation should be both able and willing to perform mental work needed by tiie commu nity, and should render to the world, u faithful and efficient service, a full equivalent for all it bestows upon them. Put industrial and mechan ical pursuits should not be slighted or discouraged. Men, fitted to excel in these, should not be spoiled to make poor professionals. No nation can be really great, intelligent or happy, without industrial prosperity. The present business depression cur tails the attendance upon our col leges. Put industrial success is best attained when intelligently sought. There must be manual labor, intelli gently directed. Why should all the labor be the lot of one, and the intel ligence the lot of another? Why hould force aud skill be separated nto two classes and distinct individ uals, where one class wholly direct, and another is wholly directed? The highest ideal of education is where all the faculties of our being, physical and mental and moral ,the taste, feei ng and will are all developed to the highest perfection and in crfect har mony. We must cease to teach that there are degrees of honor in honest labor. That one occupation is more honorable than another. "Home years ago, at au educational institution in this county, a college rofewsor, in addressing the teachers present, alluded to the public the esti mation in which the different profes sions were held, claiming that the public placed one first, another sec ond, another third, and the profession of teaching, fourth; placing law, medicine aud thu ministry above It. Complaining that this was not a proper estimate of these various pro fessions. He stated that if he could have the disposition of them, he would entirely reverse tho order, placing teaching first above all others, iu honor aud public esteem. At the close of his remarks, as 1 had been one of the speakers during the evening, the state siisrintendent of public Instruction requested to know how I would place, these various pro fessions. Arising iu my place and repeating those well-known lines: Honor ami illume, from no coniliiimi rise, ct wtl iliy ptrt, ilium Mil the h.mor lied. stated that if I had the placing of these various occupations, I would place them, not perpendicular, one over another, but horizontally, ami all on a level. Had this list lieen so extended as to includ-- manufacturers, merchants, mechanics, fanners, la borers, I would place them all on one common level, and hold all in equal esteem aud honor who iicrloruied ell their parts. I would bestow greater honor upon the hod carri r, who did well his rt in the erection of a magnificent build ing like this, than uisin the abhst law yer w ho betrayed his client, tho most eloquent minister who mislead his congregations, or that stiues- man, no matter how able, who should neglect the welfare of his country. "We must dignify ami elevate all labor, it is said the education of a cation is known by the men it crowns.
