THE PURSUIT OF LEARNING. 
Major Henry L. Higginson Addresses . 
Harvard Undergraduates. 
Major. Henry L. Higginson of Man- 
chester and Boston gave a very inter- 
esting talk before the Harvard stu- 
dents recently on the pursuit of study 
and learning, saying that this was the 
best means toward efficiency for life’s 
work and for happiness or, at least, 
contentment of spirit. Mr. Higginson 
said in part : 
‘‘ Here is a sentence which struck 
me: ‘Life has nothing good or high 
in store for one who does not resolute- 
ly aim at something high and good. 
A purpose is the eternal condition of 
success, Nothing will take its place.’ 
“Most men have but small means 
and must live without the costly luxu- 
ries of modern life— but is not a 
volume of Thackeray or Tennyson or 
Dickens or Kipling or Stevenson, to 
mention only modern authors, a fair 
substitute for a good horse ora clipping 
yacht? The one does not preclude 
the other,—but books are open to all. 
c Many of you,—and I hope all of 
you,— must earn your living, and cer- 
tainly all of you must justify your 
right to exist and the wisdom of your 
parents in sending you here,— by your 
future efficiency in the world’s work. 
But I would also ‘offer to you the 
prizes of life which all men crave, for 
I would paint the picture in true, warm 
colors and thus win you to the true 
faith — I mean the conviction that life 
is happiest for the man whose every , 
faculty is well developed. 
‘Every field is open if you will seek 
the gate, and that once opened, you 
can win power at will. You have 
found in your books,— which are faith- 
ful, delightful companions,— your 
remedy for loneliness, your solace for 
grief or pain, your freedom from tor- 
menting cares, your subject for stimu- 
lating intercourse with your friends. 
‘Of course, your training here is 
but the beginning of your education, 
which will end only with your life ; for 
how should a man stop his education 
any more than his efforts toward any 
object of human wishes? Many of 
you will not be rich in dollars, but all 
can be rich in the means for a useful, 
contented existence. The home may 
be small, but it will be beautiful. 
“Tt is not enough that men act with 
intelligence and energy and honesty, 
but they must carefully study their 
relations with one another in order to 
conduct themselves in a high-minded 
fashion. Anaction may be honest and 
yet not honorable, for the laws of the 
land and even of morality fix limits 
for us but are not a measure of our 
conduct. 
«Several things you may not say. 
You may not say that our public 
affairs are in a desperate state and that 
you cannot, will not, try to mend 
them. Do you drop your brother be- 
cause he gets drunk now and then? 
Does your father give up his business" 
because a Customer has cheated him ? 
Rather say, as a true woman does of 
her children, ‘They are mine forever, 
and no matter what they do, I love 
them and will cleave to them.’ What 
are you without your country ? 
_ You may never say that you have 
done your share for others — until you 
stop breathing. 
‘The older you grow, the more you 
will see the woe which bears down 
poor mortal, and you will feel how 
terrible life is, if you can in no way re- 
lieve the woe. And so you will under- 
stand the words of the wise physician, 
who said, ‘The solid comfort in life 
lies in what we can do for others.’ ”
