The colonel advised all the members mem-bers of the class to go Into politics when they graduated. He defended his political position by saying he thoroughly believed in the iolitics which be personally advocated. Colonel Roosevelt spoke first of the necessity of combining book knowledge knowl-edge and practical experience and Instanced In-stanced "The Federalist" as an example ex-ample of the result ot working out that combination. "'The Federalist,'" he said "was indeed a campaign document. It was designed for that purpose and was used In that way." The second part of his uddress was more directly devoted to the students. Commenting on the fact that the I graduate is likely to be supercilious I and to sneer at politicians, ho said: "Do not only have a debit tilde in your public account with public men; have the credit side, too." Of the- participation of the college graduate in politics, he said: "Go Into politics not merely lo do the nation good, but that the nation may do you good. A man who cannot work with his fellows in politics may he too virtuous for them, but It is more probable that he Is too foolish and finicky." |
