Excerpt from Addresses Concerning the Chancellorship, the University, Higher Education: Commencement: June, 1890, Lawrence, Kansas Mere ceremony is not tolerated as it once was. Formality is an outcast. Time has grown scarce, and those who wait begrudge-the moments of their detention. Pleadings at law are directed to be clear and concise, and inaugurations and graduations, if ostentatious and vain-glorious, are derided. A parade without good purpose is child's play or worse.
