W. H. Trumbull '15, Addresses 1923

"Do a service for someone every day" was the first and most important of three maxims emphasized by W. R. Trumbull '13 in his talk to Freshmen in Smith Halls Common Room last night. The other two were "Learn something and see something beautiful every day."

Service, however as a builder of character was the point on which Mr. Trumbull laid most stress. He showed how a man gets out of college exactly what he put into it, in the way of service. And he pointed out the opportunity which Phillips Brooks House offer as an outlet for service.
