Constantly we hear the com- offers a test for the value of devoting to a college plaint that a man always votes a straight party ticket or that he is a mugwump. But neither of these lines of conduct is wrong. The man who supports the candidates of one party or the man who supports those candidates whom he thinks best, irre- spective of party, has the sanction of great example he is following in the footsteps of men whom history has judged great. But how can these two opposite modes of procedure be both good? If a man votes a straight party ticket because he believes that he is serving best his country, he is doing well, or if a man is an independent voter because he believes that as such he can best serve his country, he also is doing well. But the man who supports one party because he wants that party to win or to attain his own ends is doing ill and the man who is independent because it is easier than assuming the responsibility of shaping party policy is also doing ill. The selfish political boss, the corrupt voter, and the man who chooses his candidates independently rather than take the trouble of entering into the work of party nominations are all making political mistakes. Often these mistakes are due to an inability to deal with large concepts. The State, the Nation, J. C. Wliite, Orator Society, mean little to men whose minds have not been trained to think in such terms. We cannot education these four of a man's best years.

All of them are Freshman year seems to have been the most thinking of this day and wishing, as we do, that they eventful of the four, perhaps because of the large were with us. number in the class then, but more probably because What has 191 1 done for Bowdoin? We do not boast, but say simply that we have tried to do our best. In athletics, altho we have not attained such remarkable success as 1910, our record is good. In scholarship and undergraduate activities we have done our share. We leave our Alma Mater feehng that she is none the worse for our stay in her halls. There is better interfraternity feeling than when we entered, college politics are cleaner, and college morals higher now than then. Whatever we have done to bring this about, whatever services of ours have benefited Bowdoin, have been done gladly. We

claim no credit for them ; to have done less would have been to shirk our duty. We entrust the undergraduate life of the college to succeeding classes, knowing that they, too, will prove themselves worthy of the responsibility and that old Bowdoin will continue to prosper. And we hereby pledge that when the years have passed and we are doing our part in the world's work, when this season of the year comes round, our thoughts and our footsteps will often turn hither. And we vow that in the fullness of time: "We'll send our sons to Bowdoin in the fall."

But a deeper standards by which we measure our motives and mission stimulates the college and keeps it alive, actions, the concept to which we may endeavor to and a richer gain than facts and muscle comes to make the "muddy particulars" attain. As the scientist from time to time must return to the standard of measures of length and capacity that he may keep his own measures as nearly exact as possible, so we must revert at times to those ideals, plotted when we were outside the complexities and entanglements of the world, that we may hold our lives as true to our best purposes as we can. Class after class reaches its senior year and goes forth, and Bowdoin remains. But each class before it parts might well look back and question itself, "Have we added anything to Bowdoin's high ideals? If so, what?" We today are looking back on our course, and what do we find? Every class can boast of a virility in athletic pursuits and con-

sciousness in scholastic endeavors ; but we need not chronicle these. 191 1 has lived out a higher ideal. When she gathered together nearly four years ago, she was composed of individuals who stood apart from one another, but now she is one whole. And why? Because the class has lived out, each

member by himself, that ideal, sincerity : which, being translated into men's relationships, means frankness and honesty, true considerateness. If the undergraduates can find little in our lives here to emulate, we beg of them to catch this spirit and A. H. Cole. Closing Address hold it clear of taint.
