that study alone or the greatest possible accumulation of learning alone

The man who is universally mourned to-day achieved the highest
distinction which his great country can confer on any man, and he lived

retained unimpaired, the qualities of heart which I fear university
students sometimes feel like keeping in the background or abandoning.

There is a most serious lesson for all of us in the tragedy of our late
president's death. The shock of it is so great that it is hard at this
