T1TE BUKTjINQTON FREE PRESS AND TIMES: THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1912. FOSS IS HONORED By ALMA MATER One of Eight to Receive Oompli mentary Degrees at Univer sity Commoncement. (Continued from page one.) theories of creation wna fundamental. Udmund Gosso lias recently given jialnfully clear account of the parting of the ways between hlmsolf and his fnthor, caused by Darwin's bookB. The farther, a naturalist by prafcsslon, wna a lltcrailsl with (ho book of Genesis. He was horrified to discover that his .on accepted the new doctrine that Ood made things make themselves. That breach between fathei nnd son was only ono of a thousand similar tragedies. To reverent minds of . one generation, the doctrine of evolution seemed little less than atheistic; to the p-qually reverent minds of 'the next generation It has becomo a hypothesis which explains, re lates, coordinates, brings coherency out of lncohcrelicy and Justifies the patient woys of God to man. Youth Is ln.lood forever Incoherent because uncurtain of Its aim; yet It Is also Incoherent because It Is alive. J'art of the charm and promise of youth lies In Its vory Inconsistency. Thoro Is something winning In the half-boy, 'iinlf-man, nil In a ferment of fooling, of bodily activity and possibly of thought. That uncertain fellow, who does nt yet know exactly what ho wniits to do or enn do, may go surpris ingly fa.r. The undergraduate with a formal, lgeon-holod mind, with a place fo'1 everything and everything in its pin Is llkoly to lead his class at twenl . At forty he oftnn finds himself a 'lork for life; no ono knows Just w'i, except that what seemed a methodical mind In the hoy Is now re vealed as a wooden mlna in tho man. And, on the other hand, every college teacher romembers pupils whoso un dergraduate heads were like a girl's upper bureau drawer, but who by gift of eomo ultimate sorting ability, somo co-ordinating energy, are now leading their professions. Tho young men and young women of to-dny aro full of uniiiissllled ideas, of unassorted Impulses. They have done their scnool work during a dec ade of lntollectunl chaos. Leaders In tho educational world have boon i bating theories, experimenting with programs, wondorlng what studies are best, or adopting tho cheerful salt denying ordinance that any study may be best. Meanwhile tho graduates are only hnlf-educatoi. Your salvation lies In the fact that you realize it. Your choice at tho long educational bargain counter whloh now stretches from tho klndorjrarten to the univer sity nave been necessarily random nnd inconsiderate. Hut after all they have been yours. AVhenevor you havo loft your Inco herent studies long enough to observe the world of business and politics, you have found there, llkewlso, a decade of chaos. Old party lines have largely disappeared; tho new groupings havo been formed nround men, rather than around theories nnd prlnclploe of gov ernment. It has been a deende of ex cited and voclfernnt denunciation and "exposure." Advertisers, and partic ularly self-advertisers, havo profltod by It, and legitimate enterprises have suffered because of reckless abuse. Methods of city and State govommont, principles of national legislation and control, hnve been attacked In new ways, strained at novel points of pres sure. Old codes of procedure seem In adequate, for tho facts and conditions of our dally life are rapidly changing. Now what Is the practlcnl lesson of this contemporary Incoherence? Is It not that the undefeated Idealism of the American peoplo Is quite willing to turn and over turn until a better basis for social Justice shall be found? Paradoxically enough, our business and politics are Just now In coherent precisely because wo are search Ing for moro homogeneous standards. Thero is contradiction and discord because the common man suspects that tho old or der of things is Inadequate. Tho neces sity for mutual understanding, for .settle ment of disputes, for respect for law, Is dictated by actxtal lawless situations. If thero Is reason for porploxlty, thcre Jorc, as you face the confused Issues of the present hour, there Is also reason for rejoicing. Beneath tho surface of pas .Ionatc and selfish and cynical discussion, there are streams of. right tendency, cur rents of humanized thoughts and feeling. You must penetrate to thpm, put your selves into wholesomo relations with them. If you are shocked at tho contra dictions, the grotosque Inequalities of tho human lot, then do something to level ind adjust those inequalities. We comeback thus toour starting point: a lonely scholar In his study, heartening himself In his perplexity by tho thought of the universality of the struggle between disorder nnd order. "What Is life, except the knitting up of incoherences Into coher ence? Couragel" I should bo untrue to the central teaching of Carlyle if I did not remind you that It Is action which brings the only solution of tho mysteries and contradictions of tho human spectacle. Seen objectively, whether by philosopher, satirist or saint, the world of man Is, in deed, In Newman's words, "a vision to dizzy nnd appal." Hut very few of us have either tho mental power or the moral detachment thus to hold tho world off at arm's length and look at It. Pigmies though wo are, we must take our own part In It; nnd Just as the complicated movement? of n danco may )-eom bewild ering to those who are watching It, but pimple to the dancers, so meditation upon the llfo of man may drlvn a sensitive per son Into poetry or insanity, while your day's work and mine may be plain enough. We find our Job, ordinarily, by working at It, and we simplify It as wo go along. We have first to pull ourselves together Into physical nnd mental coherence, and then to pull all together like a good crow, Coherence ts the law of life. With bod ily tissues momently breaking down and as momently renewod, with minds dally distracted, but also daily concentrated upon somo task, with spiritual energies forever withering but forever refreshed from tho deep springs, the generations go forth to their work and to their labor until tho evening, Hero and there In tho endless procession you will see a man rich In Intellectual interests and abound ing in practical servlco who has so or (eied his activities that he font n right to jay with proud simplicity; "This ono thing I do," That man Is to bo envied, for he has found tho secret of tho coher ent llfo. I daughter was aroused by the spoaker'H Wemark that tho condition of the mind ipf youth Is like a girl's upper bureau When You Go Out To Tish do you ever stop to think of the women folks at home toil ing away for your comfort? They would probably like -n opportunity to go along, too, sometimes. "But there's the fire to be kept going, oil or coal stove to be cleaned and attended to, lamps to be filled and many other disogreeable but necessary chores to be done. You have often regretted this condition of affairs, think ing that there was no way out of it. With BLAU-GAS you would ov&rcomc these troubles. You could have your meals prepared on a gos range, even better than by coal or oil. There would be no refilling or cleaning, no disagreeable odors about the house and less trouble by far than your present methods now entail. With BLAU-GAS you would have the best obtainable, light in your camp. You could use a water heater or any gas appliance. The women folks work just as hard as you do often harder. It is no more than fair that they be given an opportunity to enjoy the same pleasures which you enjoy. We'd be glad to show you how this can be arranged ef fectively and at moderate expense. 92 Church Street 'Burlington, Vt. drawer, and also when he said, "There was a peace society formed In Vermont the other day I wonder how many of those here are members of It." Hearty applause followed the closo of tho address, anil after music from "The Fortune Teller," by Herbert, tho award of prizes was made, Dean Votey of tho college of engineering presenting the Phelps prize, and Deun Tlnkham of the college of medicine milking tho presenta tions for his department. APPLAUSE VOW OUTTERSON. The conferring of degrees In course fol io-wed next. The name of Albert lovejoy Outterson, who received the degree of bachelor of science In nhsentl.i, was the signal for enthusiastic applause. Tho president explained briefly th.it Gutter- on was at Stockholm to tako port In tho Olympic games. "May ho bring added glory to the Green nun Gold," said Dr. Penton, "nnd to tin- Stnrs and Stripes." In sharp contrnst to the demonstration over Outterson was the silent token of respect accordod the name of Frederic Itoy liranscombe, the fourth In the list of doctors of medicine. While the 45 black- robed graduates stood with bared heads. the president announced thnt nlthough the untimely death of their classmate had removed him from their midst but two days before, yet his work had been completed with high credit, and he would be considered a graduate of the college of medicine. "His nnme," concluded the president, "will stand Inscribed forever on the alumni roll of this university." Those receiving degrees In course were tho following: BACHELORS OP ATITS.
