activity. And in each, as the President

said, "you can tell the sportsman from the

sport."

"I think that this, the relation between

analogy that can be applied to human life.

Life as a sea, life as a battle, life as a river

own canoe upstream, life as a hill-climbing

contest--all these analogies have their

weaknesses. But life as a game is a true

analogy."

The President concluded with a glowing

tribute to our university.
