Mr. Adams lectures this evening on railroad management as a profession. Railroading is a means of livelihood which is not generally reckoned among the "professions." But it none the less deserves the attention of college graduates as offering an opportunity for a useful career. The growth of the railroad interests is simply enormous and the business connected with these interests each year assumes more and more the air of a profession. Here a liberal education is just as necessary for success as in any other form of trade and few forms of trade necessitate such a multiplicity of considerations. Many things may be said about a college education and many strange things are said, but the fact remains that a college bred man is by his education better fitted for success, irrespective of the business he enters. Let it be the lowest or the highest means of livelihood, and in each case the work to be done will be done better by an educated than by an uneducated man. For this very reason education ought not to be restricted to any set of "professions" but extended to every branch of trade. It ought to be a necessity that the merchant of the future should be an educated man. Mr. Adams will advance the claims of railroad management to education.
