STUDENTS TOLD TO KEEP EYES OPEN FOR HEW OPPORTUNITIES Wriston Points Out Objectives in Making Choice of Life Work President H. M. Wriston addressed the Freshmen class on "The Choice of Your Vocation" in convocation Friday morning.

"Don't chain yourself to the vocation you have chosen today," he ad vised, "Larger, better and more worthy objectives will come and your education will open pathways so that opportunities will develop with your vision." Only those who are competitive in spirit and are sure that they can stand the strain should take up com petitive work. It is more advisable for those who have sharp tastes and prejudices against people to get positions which deal with things, There are about ten thousand gain ful occupations in the United States and each-' one requires different qualifications of mind, manner, background and training, President Wriston said. Objectives such as money, power, pleasure and social position must all be considered in choosing one's oc cupation. "If you wan't money don't be a teacher, if you want pleasure, don't be a missionary, and If you want social position, don't be a bootlegger." The individual's Intellectual hori zon widens with his education and thus it is impossible to predict one's final vocation. NEW FINANCE COMPANY IS ORGANIZED HERE V.

Reading the title of the measure which says it is to provide revenue, "commerce with foreign countries, encourage domestic indus tries and protect American labor, Harrison said if this were "truly expressed" it would read: "An act to destroy revenue, to jstifle commerce with foreign coun tries, to discourage industries of the United States, to flimflam American labor and to fleece the American farmer."
