The twenty-third year o f Cedarville College opened Wednesday with a large number of new students and under the •most favorable circumstances. The exercises were presided over by Dr. McChesney, president, while the address o f the occasion was deliv ered by. Dr- J. L. Chesnut. Scripture was read by Rev. Ful ton! and prayer by Dr. Foster. There were piano solos by Miss Helen Og- lesbee and Mrs. Russell. Mrs. J.' W, Johnson sang, "Somewhere a Voice is Calling." Mr. Hugh Turnbull sang "Out Where the Billows Roll." Dr. Chesnut chose for his subject “ The Mediocre Man.” He said the scarcity of really great men and women was frequently deplored by some and cited instances to show that in their opinion the world's heroes and heroines were all dead. The au dience was assured that no real greatness past or present is likely to suffer from the depreciation and ne glect but there was danger lest we should not esteem the honest, faith ful, do-his-best man. There was danger lest we fail to appreciate the might of faithful mediocrisy. A small part well done is just as essen tial and difficult as larger and the former requires greater patience and faith. In human society sanctified average talent adds more to the gen eral strength and riches than does the' occasional genius which is her alded to'-sthe ends of the earth. The finest cleverness is uprightness and no strategy could' compare with: straightforwardness. The speaker urged the students not to-worry themselves about becoming great, but to give their chief atten tion to the doing, of their work in the best possible fashion': and they would discover-that patience wag genius and that presistence was a mighty force. Dr. McChesney at the close of the ad dress thanked the faculty and the community for the support, given him during the first year o f his ^resi dency and .urged the pupils to make the year a successful one for them selves.
