Money-making can not compare with man-making.

There is something infinitely better than to be a millionaire of money, and that is to be a millionaire of brains, of culture, of helpfulness to one's fellows, a millionaire of character--a gentleman.
Whatever degrees you carry from school or college, whatever distinction you may acquire in your career, no title will ever mean quite so much, will ever be quite so noble, as that of gentleman.
"A keen and sure sense of honor," says Ex-President Eliot, of Harvard University, "is the finest result of college life." The graduate who has not acquired this keen and sure sense of honor, this thing that stamps the gentleman, misses the best thing that a college education can impart.
Your future, fortunate graduate, like a great block of pure white marble, stands untouched before you.

You hold the chisel and mallet--your ability, your education--in your hands.

There is something in the block for you, and it lives in your ideal.

Shall it be angel or devil?
What are your ideals, as you stand tiptoe on the threshold of active life?
Will you smite the block and shatter it into an unshapely or hideous piece; or will you call out a statue of usefulness, of grace and beauty, a statue which will tell the unborn generations the story of a noble life?
Great advantages bring great responsibilities.
