D. LL. D., the newly elected president of the university, and many men of na- tional distinction. The Alumnt assoctation ten- dered a reception to President Dwight in the par- lors at Chamberlin’s at gao’clock, and from the pariors the guests assemUM@@, repaired to the ban- quet room. The apartments devoted to the fest!- vities of the evening were handsomely and taste- fully decorated. The banquet in all its appoint- ments was fully inkeeping with the dignity of the occasion. Candlesticks, each holding five colored candles, stood at intervals on the table, while twined among the plates was green folfage and flowers. The menu, program of toasts and the songs were handsomely printed in dark blue, the colors of the college. The invited guests were the President and his cabinet, a number of newspa- per correspondents and editors, A glee club of younger members of the Alumni association with capital volees enlivened the occasion by singing at intervals college glees, which they rendered with much spirit. ‘The members of the association and their guests were seated at the tables in the following orde RAD OF TABLE.

PRESIDENT DWIGBT'S ADDRESS. ‘The guest of the evening, President Timothy Dwight, was introduced by Chief Justice Waite. President Dwight began ls remarks by saying he bad come to Washington with peculiar feelings, ‘that he could searcely describe, but which did not come from seeking an of (Laughter. He said when he looked around upon the br lant assembly he felt very much like the Senator from one of tne western states who could not understand how he ever got into the United StatesSenate, He said he understood he had the sympathy of at least one member of the cabinet, the Secretary of the Navy, who would have placed one of the United States ships at is command had it not been that he came here in an inclement season. [Laughter.) President Dwight continued : 1am reminded by my experience in connection with my coming to Washington, of an incident which occurred many years ago, when there was a debating society at Yale college and we were en- deavoring to furnish the room in the then new alumni building which was to be occupied by this society. The Hon. Mr. Evarts and some other hon- orable gentlemen were appointed as a committee on this subject, and I was an humble worker at the other end of the committee. We communi- cated with certain gentlemen in various parts of the country, asking if they would aid in this cause, ‘the promotion of which tended so much to the prosperity of the institution. Among others we Ce Le of 1818, who lived in the neighbor! ‘of Washington, asking him if he would make a contribution. Though I was entirely unknown to him, being at the lower end of the committee, he wrote to me and said: “tive for a debating society? By no means. The world is perishing. ‘of speech-making; we are dying of talk. you will only ask for a contribution ror a deat and dumb institution I will contribute with pleas- ure.” It has been a question in my mind for many years why he should have made such a resonse when his life had been passed in the neigh- borhood of Washington. (Laughter.) AsI have ‘Deen passing from one city to another for the last few weeks I have thought that if that gentleman, who ended bis earthly career some years since, could return to this world and could understand the state of mind of a man who had addressed eight alumni meetings and was expected to address a roe =e Ishould have his hearty sympathy. (Laughter. But these are only remarks in passing, to account formy being here. Pe.:a't me to say that itis With extreme aeeree i meet the graduates of Yale college in Washington; that I meet so many whom I have known in former years, so many be- tween whom and myself a kindly friendship was established years ago which has not been forgotten Coa . or by me. It is ae the greatest enter upon my office. I would not Wish to hold it were 1t not so. Were it known to me that the graduates of Yale college did not look with kindly feeling upon me as holding this once, or that they had any gloomy forebodings tor the future in connection with the fact that { had en- tered it, 1 should go home and lay it down to-mor- row. But with wonderful good feeling they have re- ceived me, and apparentiy there ts hope for tne ‘university on every side. {Applause.) We at New Haven are united as one inan, and so far as 1 am able to judge, the graduates in all of our cities are united as one mab, in the earnest desire that the university shall go forward. We are believers in a new era, and look for greater things in the future than we have had in tne past. I am in the hear- test sympathy with every movement which is forward, every movement from the past toward the future. In that respect I am a part of Young Yale, though I do not believe there is any division between Young Yale and Oid Yale when you come to look at the matter in the right light. We are all for Old Yale. It 15 Old Yaie that gained our affections, that made us what we are; it 1s Old Yaie that we rejoice in and love. But we are ail for Young Yale in that we look forward, that we delleve ih the future, that we believe Old Yale was never intended to be buried in the past, but was intended to reach out into and have a lorious life in the future. [Applause.} Accord- ing to the measure of ability which may be given to me, in the position in some respects of a leader in the movement forward, 1 propose in union with other gentlemen who have the administration of Yale college at the present time to press forward toward the future; to do all that we can. We shall have a grand institution at Yale if we have nO means beyond those which the present Bives us; Dut if we can have larger means and a larger opportunity 1s thereby afforded, I can see no limit ‘Wo the progress and development of Yale in the ine of the truest and highest education. {Applause.) And though I would not here or anywhere com. pare Yale university with the other universities of the country in a Way of dishonorable rivalry, 1 see no reason Why Yale university may not stand on an equality with any university in the country, and Uo us be better than any other, as we are the sons of Yale. It was with this feeling and this ‘hope that almost immediately after I assumed ihe duties of my office I proposed to the gentlemen of the tion Lo change the name [rom the old name Yale college to the new name Yale univer- sity; that is, that this name shoud be placed upon the “catalogues of the institution and upon all official documents of that institution, not affecting the corporate name, which remains as before, “the ‘nt and Fellows of Yale College im New Haven.” I made thts proposal and advo- cated this change not because we posed to have something we had not had before in New Haven, a different institution, but because we have already an institution which is a university in the true sense of that word, at least as we use it here in Amerwa’ = aene ieee ta the various facul- ‘Hes are fe wi ¢ Various departments of learning are 1h successtul pi and where there is @ union of all ines of study’ carried for. ‘rms of Keth « Goldschinid and Gutwillig Bros, and other New York creditors, fled a suit in equity ‘Wo carry out the trusts of an assignment e by J.

It 1s established now on Permanent foundations, with a full faculty, with Tespectable funds, and is larger in its numbers than many Of the colleges of the country. The other schools are moving on creditably in their arrangements for education and in their numbers, ‘They are in progress that should be gratify. ing to all the friends and graduates of Yale. The tine has certainly come when the new name should be taKen, When it is a false humility, and that only, to refrain from taking the new name. We have ‘assumed it not because we hope to be something, but because we are something which We hope will be more and which we believe will be more. [Applause.] Ido not measure the suc- cess of an institution by its numbers. Numbers are at best but one indication of ‘prosperity. Yet it 18 gratifying to me that the number the present year at Yale is greater than ever be- fore; considerably greater than last year. I may say it would have been a little ypolntment to ie if this had not been the case, or ff the number had been decidediy smaller, for f should have felt that the Chief Justice and my distinguished friends of the Senate and the House had perhaps made a mistake in thelr selection of president; but {t turned out that the numbers were greater’ and that the opening administration had this indica- tion of success, “Of course Ido not claim for my- self any credit; but it is pleasanter to be full than to be empty, as we know aiter theexcellent dinner we have had to-night. Laughter.) Gentlemen, this is 1ipt the place for us to discuss the theories of education, but let me for a moment call your attention to the new catalogue. I thought—and I am not the only one that thought 80, that the old catalogue had about survived its usefulness, and it seenied to me desirable that we should present before the readers of such i ature a better statement of what is done at Yale and so the new catalogue has appeared. I com- mend it to the reading of all the graduates of the college. I especially commend it to the reading of those Who may have thought there has been no growth or advancement’ at Yale within the last twenty-five years, If the same im- pression. 18 produced ‘upon you by reading it Which Was produced upon me J am sure you will find that Yale college is quite a different place in many respects from the Yale college you knew, and is far advanced beyond what it was when you knew it. We have entered to some degree upon the elective system at Yale, and I believe we have taken the right ground thére. [Applause.] I be- eve we have taken the best ground. We hold at Present to the required studies forthe first two years and tocertain required studies in the last two, but, mainly open the last two years to the choice of studies. ‘There are ninety-two courses among which students in the junior and senior years can choose. ‘There is an abundant opportu- nity for the tastes of all to be gatistied. { think you will be surprised to find flow much can be learned there it you will take pains to look over those ninety-two courses. (Laughter.] I believe in the required course for many reasons, prima- rily because I believe it 1s desirable that educated men should know something beyond the line in Which they propose to move forward through thelr lives. [Applause.] It has fallen to me to go for- Ward, for profession, in the line of theology, and as a Student in the line of Greek; but I should be very sorry if I could not say anything on any sub- Ject but theology or Greek; I should be exceedingly. sorry if the little I knew were confined to those two departments. I believe that educa- tion fs for the building up of the man, and that the greatest blessing of education is the blessing to the man himselt. Our education ts for the inan himself rather than for his effect upon other men, it we make a primary anda secondary diviston. { belfeve the great blessing of an education is what tt does for the man himself when he communes with his own thoughts, [Applause.) It fs for that rea- son I prize the education which Ihave, If I could only affect somebody else by my education should not prize it as Ido now; but Ivan be alone in the desert and yet have 1 joyous, happy and glorious iife because I am an educated man, and Ican be in that situation when my profession 1s laid aside, I rejoice above all things in my education for that reason, Tbelieve it 1s desirable that young men should’ be enlarged and rounded by a general course of study before they turn toward the par- ticular line to which. they may devote themselves for their life work. I belleve that lawyers, sclen- Urle men, Congressmen, ministers, merchants, and every class of men will’ be larger and better, hap- pler and more userul, too, If they kuow soméching yond their own profession. It inust be remem- dered that there are many studies now which were not open when some of us were in college, miany in which great progress has been made Where there was but ttle progress fity Years ago, and the human mind cannot take in everything. It must he remembered that there is a certain gain in the permission given toa man to choose according to his taste. Itmust be reinem- ered also that our students, when they enter col- lege, are further advanced than they used to be; certainly one year further advanced. A man when he has reached the freshman class ts perhaps a8 far advanced now as he was when he entered the Sophomore class at Yale college in 1845, It 1s wise that there should be, for these reasons, the introduction of the element of choice In the later years, I believe that we have the best system at Yale up to the present Ume. What the future may bring or may force upon us we do not know. Ail we can do in this world 1s to move according to the Might at hand, and I am sure we are on the best line of progress in this respect. I rejoice init. T rejoice that we have all we do have in the way of opportunities to meet tastes, wants and pecullart. ties of mind of all students. It has been a great blessing to Yale college, and one great source of its prosperity, that the gentlemen there have been united in sentiment. We are a company of friends working together. We have differences of views. We do not all think alike @m all subjects, but we respect. one another's views. We are’ large- minded in this regard and ready to work to- gether. One secret of the progress of Yale college and its success In Its past history 1s that its officers have worked together in a harmonious spirit, that they have moved out of the past into the future hand in hand. rejoice that that 1 the case so largely as it 1s now, and that we have this hopeful outiook for the futtire. Gentlemen, I might say very much more, 1 might go on and talk to you for an hour. But there are, as the chairman has kindly shown me—and I had no doubt he had an end. in view in so doing aughter)—a number of eminent speakers toc am here to give you a friendly greeting and to te ceive the friendly greeting that you so kindly give me. I represent inyself here in friendly feeling and I represent the good mother of usallin friendly feeling. [Applause.} How many gradi Yale college have come in greater or I into personal connection with me in the years ot thelr college Itfe?_ ‘There 1s no one of them whom I do not follow with deep interest. There 13 no one of them to Whom Ido not send forth a friendly feeling in all his life’s progress. ‘There 1s no. one of them in whose success I do not rejol many of them there are wi made life happler for me in the past years, and the contidence in Whose triendship makes life in Its outlook on the future happier than it other- wise would be. I have never known a student of Yale college in whom [did not feel a personal interest _and the strongest hope for his success and well being; and in this sense I am sure that I represent the 'spirit_of ‘the Old Mother. We are separated from Yale by Years, by our work, by our place of residence, bY many things, many of us, most of us; but the Old Mother remembers us all, and as we meet, our thoughts and affections go back to the Oid Mother.

Chief Justice Waite, in announcing the next toast, Our Country, sald: “It was our expectation that the President of the United States would be here to respond to this toast. His father was a graduate of Yale, and I know from the President's communications to me that he desired to be present upon this occasion. “Last evening I recelved from hin this kind note.” ‘The Chief Justice then read the following letter from the President: EXECUTIVE MANSION, ‘Wasuixorox, Jan. 11, 1887, My Dear Sir: 1 thank you for your remethbrance of me as evidenced by your kind invitation to be present at the reception and banquet tendered by the Yale Aluzoni Association of Washington to the newly-elected president of their alma mater, ‘Though entirely unwilting to acknowledge that Tstill claim a place upon the sick list, my ailment has not so completely left me as to’ permit me, ‘with prudence, to be present on this occasion, Hoping that it may be thoroughly enjoyed by those participating, and that the university, of Wien an American citizen may be proud, without ng uate, may long prosper, Yours, sincerely, es GROVER CLEVELAND, To Chiet Justice Watte, President Y.

Is that all that this nineteenth century can offer from her wisest men, and is there nothing to counteract it? It Yale’ college were a mere school, if it taught men the Greek that you know so well, if ft had no lessons other Sohne renee may tana ¥ may learn repeat, the case would not be hopeful for us. But 1s there no counteracting force in this land of ours ‘that shall meet the’ le confession that comes: from the heart of Europe to-day, that nothing but brute force can secure the civilization of all years? Gentlemen, can we not to-night, in our affectionate and social American meeting, learn something from the words and the counsel we have heard from the President of Yale university and from these two rulers of the Eu- ropean state? Can it be ible that Germany, armed to the teeth, ing under the weight of a terrible armny, 1s yet to be further wronged, and yet to be further oppressed by the di ful exac- Uons of arms? Is there nothing else that can vern mankind? Is this the free Ce ees his tie force that governs America to-day? Are we to travel upon such lines and are we to look for such a future? May Heaven forbid! What influ- ences shall we encourage, what forces shall we strengthen, to what shall we look to avert from us ‘the fate that seems to be the fate of civilized Eu- Tope to-day. if those who are her spokesmen speak the unhappy truth? It seems to me there are other fore (hey and moral for which may be well exemplified by the university of which this honored man is the president. [Applause.] It cannot be that the brute force of military power is to be the security of any people or the guardian. of any civilization that 18 meant to progess under the rule that was born 1887 years ago. ‘Therefore when you ask me, “At qui illam regit,” 1do not think I can answer better than by the single word, “Yale.” pplause.} Ido not mean the couere or the schools that are wisely collected into a univer- sity system in the town of New Haven, but I mean the American spirit of education, some- thing better than scholarship, better than professorship, greater and stronger, the de- velopment of the higher capacities of God's highest creation, Man. [Applause.) So I think if we compare our country with others, while we regret our imperfections, our rudeness, or our wrongs, We still may find in the heart of this republic something that shall protect human- ity from military force, something that shall make military force, as the only recourse for the settle- meant of human difficulties,looked upon ever ag but a temporary aid always subservient to the great end jn view, the. ‘moral advancement of the people. [Great applause.) ‘BX-JUSTICE STRONG. ‘The next toast, “Yale, the college,” was respond- ed to by ex-Justice Strong, of the U.S. Supreme Court, He related many of the pranks of the stu- dents, and referred, with a good deal of feeling, to the death of the old literary societies, the Lino- hian, the Brothers and the Cailiopean. “He closed by prophesying for Yale university a most brill- fant future, while promising that old Yale should not be forgotten. SISTER COLLEGES. “Sister Colleges: Let all the Number of the Stars give Light,” was responded to by Professor Cop- pee, of Lehigh university, who in the course of his remarks paid a glowing tribute to Asa Packer. Professor Coppee also referred to the Kind feeling existing between Lehigh and Yale. SENATOR EVARTS SPEAKS FOR A “CORPORATION.” ‘The next toast, “The Yale Corporation, dignum sapiente bona que est,” Was responded to by Sen- ator Evarts as follows: “A well established reputation, however un- comfortable to me, but which I have not been able to live down, ought to have protected me from selection to respond to this toast. What could have induced the folly of asking me to speak for a corporation? [Great laughter.) Think of the se- verlty of the trial to which I am exposed, which can only be likened to that of the last judgment when men are called upon to give an account of the deeds done in the “body.” [Laughter.] Ihad in college what I may fairly say wasa good repu- tation, although, perhaps, you may not think Near the close of my senior year my tutor told me that I had the reputation with the faculty of be- ing in every scrape and getting out of it before they ound me out. (Laughter.) My early expert. ence in that respect has been of service to me in my profession, as Ihave been enabled to get, my ellents out of the scrapes in which I found them before anybody knew it. [Laughter.] I was as- vonished when the president said that in the pres- ent curriculum of Yale university there are ninety-two courses, What a feast! How over- whelming! What can a man say ii ich a pres- ence more than Luther said at the Diet of Worms? [Great laughter.) “With courage but humility 1 can no more; I can take no other course.” There ‘was a time When I could say with truth as I did once at a convivial assembly at Yale college, that the president of Yale college and I together knew more Greek than any other two men; but now, although I am conscious that I have kept up my share of the partnership, Iam not sure the same remark can be made. [Laughter.} President, our new and great leader in improv ments has started with a beneficial change in the catalogue. I want to suggest another, Instead of waiting for the later issues, I propose that in the current catalogue be given the titles that the aduates are golng to have all through their fives. [Laughter.] It would save a great deal of trouble if this were done. If I had known who was going to be Chief Justice of the United States Tshould ave taken another profession; and it T had known that a gon of a graduate of Yale coll ‘was going to be President, and not a son of Yale college, I should not have'addicted myself to poli- lcs, It would have been of great assistance to all our classmates if we had known that at the time we were graduating, and we might then have at- tended to things we could succeed in. (es hter.) Look at the lamentable failures of my lite for the want of any instruction in advance. I was very much struck with Wnat our honored guest, said about the real object of education and the advan- tage a man has in commuring with his own thoughts. I have never attempted that. (Laugh. ter.] How I might have succeeded ff I had confined myself to it instead of experimenting in other directions, I do not know. But there 4s great wisdom In it. Forty years ago I head a very eminent and experient statesman and ora- tor, Judge Collamer, make a stump speech in Ver- mont. He told the crown that he had a man who did chores for him who was in the habit of talking aloud to himself, He asked him one day, Why do you talk so much to yourself?” “Well,”’said_ he, “Judge, I have got two reasons; one {is ‘that it 15 always'a pleasure to talk to a’sensible man, and the other is that it isa great pleasure to hear a sensible man talk.” [Laughter.] If that does not carry out the view expressed I do not know of any experience in life that can add to it. There 1s a good deal of doubt as to What all the misfortunes, discouragements and disappointments of life aré meant for, I always supposed they were meant in some way for the benefit of education; but some years ago I read in avery learned production in the German by a very eminent physician, the statement soberly laid down that the true expla- nation and justification of all the diseases and dis- asters that form so large a part of the experience of human life, 18 to develope the learning and skill of the profession of doctors. (Laughter.) I think thery ts great dealin that. What were ‘clients made for, I should like to Know, except for law- yers. The lawyers are the canvas-back ducks, ‘rhe clients are the courageous ducks that dive to the bottom and bring up the celery, and then the canvas-back ducks take tt away from them, eat it and thus make ther flesh tender and full of flavor; ‘while the clients exhaust their energy and thelr lives in this work, ]Laughter.) Well, Mr. President, the honest and serious ob- servations I was going to make have been pretty much exhausted, and I will change my tone. I believe In the decipline of Yale college as it was practiced upon young men when the Chief Justice and myself, and others of later years, and a few of earller years, were taught there. I have thought the discipline Was better than mere acquisition; and that being obliged to go through the studies selected ior us, that we did not wish to go through. was rather more valuable than to have the choice of ninety-two courses when all have the right to choose the easiest. The old societies in my Ume—the Linonians, the Brothers and the Calllopeans, which trained men for the important public functions of debate—were in eee a great part of the education of Yale coliege. [Ap- Plause.) | Having had an opportunity to coimpare he fruits of that cultivation with «the neglect that has persistently existed from the beginning at the great universities in age and in ‘credit then and in the later years, I may be permitted to say that if there was one thing that could not be spared from Yale It was these great debating societies, Tlook back with no greater satisfaction than the enjoyinent and the discipline ot those societies; and 1 Took back with no greater ci upén anytht that Thave Geen able. to “bommay gag the attention of any portion of my" fellow. citizens than when i was asked as long ago as thirty-four years to deliver an oration au New Haven On the centennial celebration of the Lino- nian society, then flourishing as it was, and the Brothers and the Calliopeans. I supposed that the next hundred years Yale was to count in the list of its benefits what it had counted in the pre- ceding. I hope at some time or other, by acon- current judginent and by 2 dominating those great debating societies Will be renewen, mad that somebody for the Linonian, somebody for the Brothers and somebody for thé Calliopean, if the ‘clrcuinstances of the country: shall enco ‘The next toast, “Yale in the administration!” “rerim ipsorum cognitio viva a rebus ipsis eat, was responded to by Secretary of the Navy Whit- ney, who said: Twill only delay you for a moment for the pur- ose of calling attention to one phase of the in- luence of Y: been made and whica. which [am to Yale to contribute ton, to not isolate a man, did not “Separate him from, Dut rather brought him into closer relation with the life of his country.

Nothing is of iter conse. om educational Remade ated e all always be springs from whic Streains of healthful influence shail 6e poured into and become @ part of the national spirit and the national life. I congratulate our new President upon taking the helm at this time, He looks upon itas a great opportunity, and 0 do all those who have the interests of Yale at ‘heart. From the acquaintance which long ago I had the pleasure of having with him, which X valued then and ever Since, I am happy to feel that the human influence so dominates him that the tendency of Yale college will be constantly towards a sympathy With the true American spirit and with true American national life. [Applause] * SENATOR DAWES UPON “YALE IN THE SENATE.” ‘The next toast, “Yale in the Senate,” was re- ‘sponded to by Senator Dawes, who said he had often responded to this toast at Yale banquets, and spoken of the Senate of the past; that as to the Senate of the future he had very little to say. {Laughter.} In conclusion he entered a humorous: protest against the free trade doctrines of Yale, ‘which was received with much merriment, YALE IN THE HOUSE. ‘The toast “The House of Representatives” was to have been responded to by Representative Scranton, who was unable to be present. The re- sponse was then assigned to Repoesentative Sey- mour, but that gentleman having been called away from the table the toast was omitted, SENATOR HAWLEY UPON “YALE IN CONNECTICUT.” “Yale in Connecticut; Domus amica, domus optima,” was responded to by Senator Hawley. He reviewed the connection of Yale college with Connecticut and paid a glowing tribute to the character of the people of that state. Although not in fact a son of Yale, he felt that he had a right to call himself a grandson of Yale, as in his own Alma Mater he was instructed by a son of Yale. Speaking of Connecticut, Senator Hawley sald: ‘Practically independent’ from 1034, she as por: Yerned herself, She never had a governor sent here from a but once, and she did not mind Aim. She hid the charter from him and brought: it out as soon as he went away. She never had an officer of her militia commissioned by. the king, and she never had an officer who took an oath obey the in howe his laws, but only to maintain the laws of the commonwealth, She never hada royal commission issued to a soldier of hers, but only a simple request from the prime minister to know how many men she would give to the French and other wars. She obtained from King Charles the Second @ charter so liberal that it was vir- tually a republican constitution until 1818. She isthe land of steady habits. There is not a gov- ernment, republic or monarchy, in the world that. has had so few changes as she has had in these two hundred and fifty years.” [Applause] Sena- tor Hawley referred to the fact that Yale college has had but four presidents in more than a hun- dred years, and that they had been Connecticut clergymen.’ He paid a high tribute to Yale with relation to ee proportion of prominent men there raduated, and also referred to a number of prom- frent. men now present who, although they had gone elsewhere, were born in Connecticut. SENATOR GIBSON UPON “YALE AND THE OLD AND NEW SOUTH.” Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, responded to the ‘toast, “Yale and the Old and New South. All the Clouds that Lowered upon our House in the Deep Bosom of the Ocean Buried.” He said the growin Spirit of Yale college was its freedom from local rejudice and from all artificial distinctions. “Re- Terring to the feeling between the north and the south, he saic “We who live in the remote south have always hailed with pleasure and thankful- ness changes which have taken place in the north, ‘Transformations have come, under the providence of God, in both sections; and while I would say nothing to disparage either the Old South or the Old North, I welcome that spirit of accord and brotherhood that springs from the union of the new south and the new north, happy altkein those principles of free government that are essential to the advancement of mankind and to the preserva- ‘tion and prosperity of our common country.” [Ap- plause.} HON. WM. WALTER PHELPS ON “YALE CHARACTER- IsTICs.”” ‘Mr. Phelps spoke to the toast of “Yale Charac- teristics,” alluding to the peculiar loyatty with which all Yale men cling to their college, spoke of the college feeling between class-mates which ex- anded and Included all alumni and dweit at most length on the variety in men, in their characters and. occupations which thé catalogue of Yale graduates exhibited and said: ‘Why this little gathering at Chamberlin’s is itself an illustration of Yale's variety and Yale’s ‘success in that variety. Is it a question of juris- prudence? There is Chief Justice of the Su- preme Source of American law, and by his side, savhite hatred colleague (Strong) about whom ‘an intelligent people has not yet made up its mind Whether his learning is the greater or his virtue, Ist. a question of statesmanship? Here is a Sena- tor so loved by democrats and republicans in his own state that he 1s called “Our Evarts.” And here he seems always to have been. He was here counsel for a President in, who did not want to be put out; here, counsel fora President, who was. ‘out and wanted to get in; here, Attorney General for one President; here, Secretary of State for another President, and now here, the only repre- sentative the imperial city of New York Sent to the United States Senate since the days of Alexander Hamilton. And now may his stay here be long and unbroken as his longest sentence, {Laughter and applause.) ‘Mr. Phelps continued, making humorous allu- sions to the various distinguished alumni of the Washington association. He thought Secretary Whitney looked very natty and clean for an old tar constantly engaged in scraping barnacles from the navy. He said the best illustration that Yale's training ‘applied at the same time would fit differ- p ent recipients for different fates was, that here was Prof. Marsh and Capt. Dutton and him. self in the same class. Marsh was now president of the national academy, a great scientist, Dutton ‘was a gallant soldier, who had conquered ‘the vol— canoes and Phelps was nothing Dut a poor Jersey liticlan, [Laughter.} Pofeterrig to President Coppe he sald, nothing was so much to his credit a8 that he wrote the logic, which enabled Mr. Phelps to make his speech this evening. In conclusion Mr. Phelps, turning to President Dwight, said: “Chis is only a glance at the glories of the trust so recently committed to you. As one who is directly responstbie for this transfer, I de. clare here the satisfaction and pride with which I review my actions. It has been ratified by the large constituency I represent with enthustastic unanimity, a unanimity as remarkable as that with which the hoard of fellows representing old Yale and young Yale and middl Yale, repre- senting New York which criticises everything Yalensian and New Haven which approves every- thing Yalensiam, at the first ballot, put upon yaur shoulders the gown once worn by Stiles and Clapp and Day and Woolsey and Porter. And by this action iustory shall repeat Itself; Or rather Provi- dence, in the Interest of pure’ Christianity and sound learning, shall force history to record that in the beginning of the nineteenth century Yale college aiid in the beginning of the twentieth cent ury Yale untversity Was under the efficient and uccessful_adininistration of Timothy Dwight. {Great applause.) ‘THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE. at Marsh responded to the toast “The Pro- gresyof Science.” He sald he thought under the cireulystances he might with great propriety, in view oX the lateness of the hour and of the tatel- lectual \reat ull present had received, ask “What matters science unto men?” He briefly reviewed the rapid progress of Yale in sclentific matters, “YALE AND THE THREE AMERICAS.” Tite toast “Yale and the Three Americas,” “Tria juncta in uno,” was responded to by Alex D. Anderson, of the class of 1866, as follows: ‘Mr. President and Gentlemen:—Now Yale has become a university in name as well as fact I re- spectfully suggest a3 the next departure the in- auguration of an American continental policy. ‘The university 1s_ already national in scope, influ- ence and popularity. It should now become the representative institution of learning of the three Americas, Present circumstances and public sen- {iment are most favorable for the consummation of a movement in this direction, It is a significant: fact that on the completion of the Mexican Cen- tral railroad, about three years ago, the first through train northward from the city of the Montezumas brought a party of students to be educated in one of our western universities. This was but the forerunner of a tidal wave of com- mercial, social, political and educational inter- change between the several sister nations of Span- ish and Saxon America, On the continent south Of the United States 1s a total population of forty. five million souls, tnree-fourths of whom or about thirty million speak the Spanishlanguage.

Permit here Mr. President to ‘a moment to call your attention to a remarkable paper on “The University Ideal,” also in that number of the Magazine, ~" since we are met, on this occasion, to emhasize thé fact that we are to know Yale in the future as the “University.” This paper was written by my late distil and widely lamented cl Elisha’ Mulford, author of the “Nation,” who, the time of its reception, was the youngest gradu- ate upon whom our Alma Mater had ever conferred the de; of LL.D.

Judge MacArthur delivered a lecture at AU evening on “Industrial Train. } The lecture room was crowded, the audience comprising many persons identified with the educational interests of the city and many mem- bers of the bar, accustomed tohear Judge Ma Arthur under other circumstances. Judge Mac- Arthur made a strong plea for maniual training tn the schools, and held that already such modes of teaching had secured favor to such an extent as toinsure industrial training asa feature of the schools of the future, He reterred wittily and sar- castically to parents who seemed to fear Unt the | Social standing of their children would suffer by | Jearning | lo Work.
