address by prof richards good will in business was the theme of prof j w richard's talk before the christian associa tion on sunday evening there is prevalent among business men the idea that the application of principle of personal morality to business tends to detract rather than add to the success of the cor poration the good will of the patrons of the firm appears on the books as an important asset of an organization but in the larger monopolies of the present day the men at the head in their scramble for profits utterly ignore the senti ment of the people little do they appreciate that sympatl senti ment and moral law in business be long there from a mere standpoint of a successful business higher and better principles should regulate a business and rules followed in private life should enter more actively into a public business sentiment is against the man who will exploit the necessities of the people in common this condition exists in many corpora tions but monopolies cannot be prevented and it remains to curb their exploitation of public necessi ties the drift of modern legislation is to make illegal the things which the public regards immoral there fore with the enlightment of public opinion will come a corresponding change in the legislation it is in this work of properly molding pub lic opinion that a heavy responsi bility rests upon those who are de stined to be leaders the pioneers in this movement will be selected from the ranks of the college men of today and this should impress us with the profound necessity of a good moral training corresponding to our intellectual development «. recitations stop this coming thursday at 12.30 and examina tions commence the following day the last examinations are on fri day afternoon february 4th
