Dean Brown Addresses 200 Freshmen

"Life is a tool, to handle as we will," declared Dean C. R. Brown, D. D., of Yale, in a talk to 200 Freshmen in Smith Halls Common Room last night. "Here is a knife of keenest tempered steel. In the hands of the surgeon it is a means of saving life; in the hands of the assassin it becomes a fatal weapon. The tool itself is useless, it is the guiding intelligence behind it that counts. So it is with our lives."

Dr. A. T. Davison '06 led the singing.
