Unfortunately, we will fail if we try to solve everything using a stereotypical form. We will need not only strength of character to dive into the sea of difficulties, but a reserve force that will carry us with a full, powerful thrust to the final victory. Rockefeller causes a combination of restricting trade, driving his competitors out of the field, raising the price of oil, endowing the University of Chicago; and the whole world rings with his praise.
Louis tracks down the city's plunderers, brings them to justice regardless of their wealth and position, and a small world resounds with his praise; yet it rings true.
And now, as we pass into the field of new activities, we hand over to you, the Class of 1905, our place as seniors, with the wish that you may derive as much happiness from your senior year as we have from ours. .

We entrust you with these symbols of honor and dignity and the staff handed down as an inheritance from our ancestors. They bow daily before their source of contentment with hearts turned only to shouts of praise. And from the business world, how often we hear the echo that fonew loves the "almighty dollar".
Classmates, let us rejoice that it has been our privilege to draw from a nobler Source. Let us rejoice that .from the Source of Education have come in 11 the full streams of strength and life; that these university days have become rich for us from the association of close minds and from the sacrifices of many who wanted to work for our University. The path may never be so easy again, and there may never be so many strong leaders around to kindly help us, but others, in turn, may ask us to lead them to the Source.
So let's always keep in mind the help we've had and don't forget where the strength for our ideals comes from. From this day forward, must we be exiled from our coexistence, from the lessons she taught us, from the loving associations she brought us. Shall we not remember with grateful thoughts those in our homes and in our school beginnings who have given us the incentives and opportunities to begin our search for the Source.
Shall we not thank them for their encouragement and for the ideals which they have planted in our minds. And what appreciation should be ours to those who have guided us these four years - our college years.
Salutatory
This character of self-abasement is common in the East and among the Slavic nations. In the Society and the Friendly Islands, in Lapland and among some other peoples, friends rub their noses as a sign of their friendship. In Burmah, to kiss, they place the mouth and nose close to the person's cheek, and inhale strongly, as if smelling a lovely perfume; therefore instead of saying, "Give n1e a kiss," they say.
The custom has continued and has been transmitted by civilized nations to every nation and almost every tribe now in existence. In the army and navy, many conventional ways of saluting are in vogue, such as manipulations with arms and flags. In this great country of ours we are not restricted in speech or manners by hereditary rank or caste, but every one, no matter on what path of life he walks, is greeted with a hearty "Good morning," or "How do you do ?" Iu it must be seen as the characteristic frankness, kindness, cordiality of the American people.
The reward of those who worked for her success can be seen in the lives of those who took advantage of the opportunities she provided. You, who return to its Halls after years of absence, bear witness to this truth, and today, as you honor us by your presence, we not only extend a warm welcome to you, but we salute with reverence the memory of those who lived in the past efforts for Alfred, and would like to extend a warm welcome to the students, professors and sympathizers who will preserve our Alma Mater in the future. Today we plant a root in the dark earth, in which lies the power of life.
And believe that in the years to come, the power to serve and triumph over strife will arise. May it keep fresh our memories of the past and illuminate the future - who knows.
Economic Ualu~ of Birds
Ninety percent of the common 'Chicken Hawk's' diet consists of insects and small mammals; and yet, instead of being protected, there is actually a price on his head. The state of Pennsylvania offered a bounty on hawks and owls, which resulted in the killing of more than one hundred thousand of these birds and a loss to its agricultural interests of nearly four million dollars in a year and a half. Many of our native sparrows subsist entirely on them during the winter months, and they form an insignificant part of the diet of other species.
An estimate of the quantity of weed seed annually destroyed by the tree sparrows in the State of Iowa, assuming each bird eats a quarter of an ounce per day, during the two hundred days of its winter range. It is estimated that bob-o-links cause an annual loss of $2 million to the rice growers of the southern coastal states during their fall growth. Birds are also accused of causing serious damage to fruit crops, but as a rule they prefer wild fruits to cultivated ones. Usually it is only the early cultivated fruit that is disturbed, and this can be protected in most cases. - by making trees with wild fruits near the orchard available for use by the birds.
It is true that in the case of species which are unusually abundant, or which usually obtain part of their food from the crops of the farmers, the character of their food may become a very practical question. For this reason it is usually only the question of the injury done to birds that is considered, the good being overlooked. Birds should not be condemned until a thorough investigation of their eating habits has been made and it has been found whether they are truly harmful.
Such studies would undoubtedly lead to a greater understanding of the true value of many species. In addition to being unfamiliar with the importance of birds for nature's economy, we are far from recognizing the possibilities of their influence on our lives.
