Dr. Marvin's Address.
Instead of the regular chapel exercises last Friday Dr. Marvin, by request, delivered a short address on "Minor Morals." Dr. Marvin is well known among the students as one who, during his connection with the University, devoted his whole energy to the building up of the school and since his resignation of the chancellorship, has always watched the growth and development of the institution with a more than friendly interest. The students venerate him and regard his words as wisdom. The announcement that he would speak brought nearly the entire student body to chapel. His address dealt with the amenities of life and he said in brief as follows:
Everyone here I take it desires to be successful in life. In order to to be successful each of us must have an objective point, an ideal in view. In order to be successful we must seek to secure the most friends possible; not political friends but true friends. In order to do this we need those elements of character which mark the true lady and gentleman. These characteristics can not be taken on and off as one may a garment. They must be a part of ourselves.
In striving for success we are apt to pay too much attention to the big things and omit the minor ones. Perhaps one of the finest of ideals to be mentioned is a proper regard and esteem for others which should find expression in our every day student life. In considering our department towards others we naturally think of the deportment of others towards us. We should learn to do unto others as we would have others do unto us.
We should avoid that good natured jolity and hilarity which sometimes find expression. It may pass at a ball game but should not find its way into our usual conduct. We should treat our professors and fellow students with due deference. If a stranger comes to the University to deliver a lecture or if a minister is invited to conduct chapel exercises we should not be lacking in showing proper interest.
But how, you ask, shall we acquire these traits of character? Put yourself in training. You are your own best trainer. Do not agree with your roommate to tell each other of your faults for a term and then leave him. Be your own master. As through constant practice the hand is trained to execute difficult music at the will of the performer so through continued effort you may form the habit of right conduct.
Do not be unmindful that in all things you have the honor of the institution in your hands.
Remember there are acquirements which can not be obtained from books. There should be a contact of mind with mind. The highest attainments are those which enable you to fill your place in life with proper relations toward your associates and to the pleasure of God.
