Three hundred men gathered in Sever 11 last evening to hear Rev. Edward Everett Hale speak on the choice of a profession.

He said that the difficulty men find in choosing a profession wisely, is owing to the fact that while in college they have only a very superficial idea of how the world's business is transacted. Therefore be would advise every undergraduate to take up some work during this summer recess. A man who followed his advice would choose the profession by which he could most help his fellows. If a man is in doubt between two vocations, let him choose that which will bring him most in contact with his fellow men. Dr. Hale believes that journalism is an unworthy field for any man's abilities.

The speaker then requested his audience to question him in regard to what he had said, and quite a number of men availed themselves of the opportunity and were answered in a bright and entertaining manner.
