THE ALUMNI JOURNAL, 



he draws the conclusion. How good it 

 was to hear of the young man carrying 

 the hod, beating stones on the country 

 road and doing anything (the best thing 

 that was offered), in order to make an 

 honest living for his family. This might 

 well serve to inspire the drug clerk as he 

 engages in his drudgery, or the student 

 who in these days attends the furnaces 

 of private houses and are endeavoring to 

 pay their way through college. This is the 

 lesson we all can take to ourselves even 

 if we have not been either well-born or 

 well -raised, and that is that all those who 

 pass through the door to success will 

 find it labelled "push." Our own ex- 

 perience leads us to conclude that we can 

 never tell what are the requisites to suc- 

 cess. In irreproachable character and in- 

 defatigable energy seems to lie true suc- 

 cess. And yet, as we go on in life and 

 consider the past in the light of the pres- 

 ent, we see all around us that some are 

 called to be masters ot men and others are 

 to serve men, and true success evidently 

 lies in the faithfulness of duty. Being 

 faithful in whatsoever sphere we may be 

 placed, is indeed a success. No one can 

 •do more — no man can do less. In this 

 faithfulness to duty according to the light 

 we receive, each one is successful no mat- 

 ter how men may consider our lives. 



*' 'Tis not in mortals to command success; 



But we'll do more Sempronius -we'll deserve it. ' ' 



Minutes of the regular meeting of the 

 Alumni Association held Nov. 14, 1894. 



The meeting was preceded by a lec- 

 ture, delivered by the Rev. Robert Coll- 

 yer; entitled " From Anvil to Pulpit " — 

 a lecture which proved very instructive, 

 especially to the younger members of the 

 audience. Some of the moral principles 

 brought forward in his lecture could not 



help but be be beneficial, and I sincerely 

 hope that they were thoroughly digested 

 by the audience. Many thanks to the 

 reverend doctor. 



The meeting was called to order at 

 about 9.30 P.M. by the President. There 

 were present Miss K. C. Mahegin, Mrs. 

 R. S. Brunner, and Messrs. A. Henning, 

 A. C. Searles, Thos. F. Main, Julius 

 Tannenbaum, L. J- Meighan, E- W. 

 Runyon, C. T. Wolff, H. Kreuder, J. H. 

 Wurthmann and N. S. Kirk. 



It was regularly moved and seconded 

 that the reading of the minutes of the 

 last meeting be dispensed wdth. Carried. 



Nominations were then made for a 

 Secretary in place of Harry Heller, re- 

 signed. 



William A. Hoburg, Jr.. Secretary pro 

 tern., was nominated for the office, but 

 declined to accept, because of not having 

 sufficient time at his disposal to attend 

 properly to business. There were sev- 

 eral other nominations made, which were 

 however, not confirmed, whereupon Mr. 

 Hoburg withdrew his former objection 

 and accepted the nomination, condition- 

 ally. It was regularly moved and sec- 

 onded that the President cast one affirm- 

 ative ballot for the Secretary, electing 

 him to office. Carried ; which being 

 done, Mr. Hoburg became Secretary 

 (still on conditions). 



Two new members were then to be 

 elected, Mr. Walter Arthur Bastedo and 



Mr. Johnson. Both having duly 



qualified, it was regularly moved and 

 seconded that the Secretary cast one af- 

 firmative ballot, electing them to mem- 

 bership. Carried. Whereupon Messrs. 

 Bastedo and Johnson became members of 

 the Alumni Association. 



There being no further business before 

 the house, the meeting adjourned. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

 WiLUAM A. Hoburg, Jr., 



Secretary.
