The first two points I will not dwell on, but as regards the latter, I may say that ambition is a good quality in a man provided that it is governed. am sure that every scholar in this college wants to succeed in Hife, and his ambition is to do something. Before he can do that some- thing, he must lay the foundation of greatness by cultivating himself, and by ibibing useful knowledge that will, in the course of his exist- ence, anable him, by intelligence, virtue; and China's straight dealing, to attain his end.

rest sage Confusius may be here quoted, and what he said when alive in equally applicable to the present-day seeker after greatness. This great suge says:-

"What the great learning teachos is-to illustrato illustrious virtue, to renovate tho people, and to rest in the highest excellence.

The Ancients who wished to illustrate illus. trious virtue throughout the Empire frat ordered well their own States. Wishing to order well their own States, they first regulated their own families; wishing to regulate their own families, they first cultivated their persona; wishing to cultivate their persons, they first realified their hearts; wishing to rectify their hearts, they first songht to be sincere in their thoughts wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things. From the Emperor down to the mass of the people all must consider the cultivation of the person as the root of things.
