That is op the side of student activities. I t us look forthe moment on th side of scholarship. For tha past right years we hav taken a count among the Vtli Khodes scholars, gathered from ' o the universities of the nation young men are elected each year for these splendid sohol arshiis for study abroad. The Sons OF millionaires are happy to be elected to this high honor, because It means thev are marked young , men, for their outstanding ability-BacIn 1929 we had 28 per cent each year for these splendid schol-o- f the Cecil Rhodes scholatvhlp groupt but in 191, the latest for which we have the feet compiled. we had T1 per cent of th Ocelli Rhodes scholarship group. Stand Out As lAler So you see that these lioy Scouts In the college are standing out a young men of leadership, Eet us assume that these boys coming up through high school life are is dominant force for good In their high school life, that they have the- - principle and of th Scout Oath and teachingswhich embodies their obligation to God and country and their fellow man, and to load a clean life, to kep themselves physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight, Inand that they brent he that fluence nlo the lifo of the student body of the high school of . the whole nation. Then let ua suppose that they go on Into the college life and thero they find themselves the majority of th college enrollment of this nation, and they carry th spirit of service, and tb aplrlt of Idealism over Into th college life of this nation, and Inatead .of breathing on th campus tha oplr-- It of agnosticism, atheism and doubt, they bring tha aplrlt of trust in God and faith In their fellow man, and high ethic and Ideal of leadership, to the college life, and become a dominant Influence In the hell of In the life of this nation, learning. 1 Influence Gipi On Then let u suppose they go out . from the colleges of learning, out from these institution off1 higher learning, into the business and otvlo Ilf of the nation, to fill positions of truef and honor among their fellow men, still to be leaders back In the homes In which they nlive, back In tho communities which they serve, or in public office. If .they are In public office, maintaining standards) of Integrity, and possessing th ltt- -i tegrlty of their own souls as they learned to do It bark years, before. Then let us suppose they go out to ths ends of the world, to mil positions of leadership, to dominate for good th life of their generation.
