Baccalaureate Sermon.

Appleton chapel was opened yesterday for the last Sunday service for the class of '89. This annual Baccalaureate service is always well appreciated, but was made especially valuable yesterday by the rare treat of a sermon from Dr. A. P. Peabody. Taking as his text "Self-respect" the preacher urged every Harvard graduate to make self respect his aim in life. If exery man aim at and follows steadily a high ideal and repents thoroughly of his past sins, his moral character will be worthy of respect, Every man ought, after his exceptional facilities for work at college to respect himself as a scholar by having a genuine knowledge of all he has touched upon. In professional and business life, also, graduates ought to get so thorough a mastery of their callings as to have an honest selfrespect. In politics no man can respect himself who does not take an active and leading part in clearing away present corruption and bearing his share of public responsibility. Finally all Harvard men ought to respect themselves as Christians.

After the sermon, the Baccalaureate Hymn, by Mr. R. E. U. Dodge was sung.
