All druggists, THOUSANDS PRESENT President Whitman Addresses a Vast Audience. THE SCENE IN CONVENTION HALL New Head of Columbian University Formally Installed. NOTABLE ADDRESSES ee Rev. B. L. Whitman, the new president of Columbian University, was inaugurated last evening at Convention Hall, with exercises of the most appropriate and impressive character. The scene was a memorable one, and will long linger in the minds of the thousands of people who composed the vast audience. It requires a big crowd to fill Convention Hall, but last evening the immense audito- rium was literally crowded to the doors. Several hundred were compelled to stand throughout the exercises, so that It is a safe estimate to say that there were between 5,000 and 6,000 people present. In the vast assemblage were almost all of the local alumni of the university, while the students, of course, were there in a body, and their lusty college cries added a very noticeable feature to the program of entertainment. The platform was erected on the west side of the hall; on it were seated a couple of hundred well-known Washingtonians, not only graduates of Columbian, who were there to do honor to their alma mater and her newly elzcted president, but also includ- ing many others who are prominent in theological, educational, literary, artistic and business callings. It was altogether a celebration the like of which, for motive and impressiveness, has probably never before been seen in this city. The platform was made gay with a lavish display of gorgeous chrysanthemums, and just beneath it was the Marine Band, which, under the leader- ship of Prof. Fanciulli, rendered selections of suitable music during the exercises. The New President. The chief interest of the evening, of course, centered about the illustrious presi- dent of the famous institution of learning, which has long placed Washington in the front rank of cities which are known as university centers. His address was the principal one of the evening, and was in every way worthy of the occasion. His sub- ject was the broad one of culture and its true meaning to the human race. His talk was a long and carefully prepared discourse, a masterly effort viewed from either the literary or the oratorical standpoint. His magnificent voice filled the immense hall, so that all he said was easily heard in the farthest corner, and at the conclusion of his address the audience, led by the irrepressi- ble students, fairly went wild in its enthusi- asm, so that it was several minutes after be- fcre silence could be secured for the benedic- tion which brought the exercises to a close. Monday, June 17, the corporation of the university elected Rev. B. L. Whitman, D. D., to the presidency. Dr. Whitman was bern in Wilmot, Nova Scotia, November 21, 1962. After graduating from the Worcester Academy in 1883, he entered Brown Univer- sity, from which he graduated in 1887, with the degree of A..B., receiving his A. M. from the same institution three years later. In 1890 he graduated from the Newton Theo- logical Institution. The same year he be- came pastor of the Free Street Baptist Church in Portland. This tmportant pastor- ate he resigned in 1892 to accept the presi- dency of Colby University. He received the degree of D. D. from_Bowdoin College in 1894. As president of Colby University, Dr. Whitman attracted wide attention as an educator, public speaker and administrative officer. It was fitting that on the occasion of the inauguration of such a man representatives of two other famous institutions should be present to bid him welcome to his new field of wider usefulness. They were Rev. Au- gustus H. Strong, D. D., LL. D., the presi- dent of the Rochester Theological Seminary, the great school which has fitted so many men for the Baptist ministry, and Rev. Francis L. Patton, D. D., LL. D., the presi- dent of Princeton. Dr. Strong spoke on the subjeét of the relations existing between education and religion, while Dr. Patton’s theme was the true conception of the uni- versity. It would be hard to find two men who were better fitted to speak on two such important subjects. Both were listened to with closest attention, and received the ap- plause their efforts well deserved. The Scene in the Hall. The scene that spread out before the speakers as they stood at the front of the platform to address the audience was in every way a remarkable one. The south end of the hall had been reserved for the stu- dents of the different schools of the unt- versity, and a considerable number of young women were scattered through the crowd. The various schools all carried flags and banners, and these were waved in the air on every provocation. Two of the students of the medical school had provided them- selves with rather gruesome class emblems. One was a skull and crossbone fastened to the top of a long pole. The other was a skull likewise fastened to a pole. It was surmounted by a rusty high hat, and in- side the hollow cranium was a lighted can- dle, which gave a most ghastly appearance to the whole, while the lower jaw was fas- tened to a string and moved responsive to the pulling of a string, so that the poor relic of a dead and gone human being looked for all the world as though he were taking part in the cheering, which at times threatened to fairly raise the roof. According to the program, a brief recep- tion to Dr. Whitman and the other {llus- trious speakers of the evening was held In the reception room for a half hour‘prior to the beginning of formal exercises in the all. The reception committee consisted of Messrs.Gardiner G.Hubbard,chairman; Sam- vel H. Greene, William L. Wilson, Brainard H. Warner, Charles A. Stakely, Robert H. Martin, J. L. M. Curry, and Jesse H. Wil- son. The Students. The students of the university met at the ertrance to the building, and forming into line entered the hall in a body. The differ- ent schools kept to themselves, under the leadership of their class officers and mar- shals, and each school was headed by its faculty. As the long line filed around back of the seats and the students found their places in the part of the hall they made a most imposing array, a thousand or more, singing and cheering, waving their huge flags and the smaller banners that denoted the schools of which they are members. From then on through the evening, with in- termissions long enough only for the speak- ers to deliver their addresses, they kept up their share of the confusion, so that at times it was like bedlam broken loose. In fact, Dr. Patton was at one time compelled to stop in his discourse long enough to say that as he only expected to speak a few minutes longer he begged that he be not in- terrupted again. But it was all good-natur- ed fun after all, and the young men seemed ‘to realize that they were watching the dawn of a new era in the history of their alma mater, the result being that their feelings were a bit too much for them. Promptly at 8 o’clock the principal guests of the evening entered the hall through the main doorway and made their way through the crowded aisles to the platform. The Hine was headed by Dr. Whitman, leaning on the arm of Rev. Dr. 8. H. Greene, the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, who so ably presided over the destinies of Colum- bian University during the inter-regnum succeeding the death of President Welling. Their appearance was the subject of loud and continued applause and cheering, which lasted until long after they had taken their places at the front of the platform. It takes a@ good deal of noise to down the Marine Band, but there were times when not a note could be heard a hundred feet away, try hard as the musicians might. The exercises of the evening were opened by Dr. S. H. Greene, who made a brief but happy address of wel ie, and afterward introduced the different speakers. The in- vocation was delivered by Rev. R. H. Mc- Kim, the rector of the Church of the Epiphany. In eloquent words Dr. McKim expressed thanks for the great blessings of education and knowledge, and for the fact that diligence and earnestness on the part of students are crowned with success. He asked a blessing on the assembled multi- tude and upon the institution of learning they were there to honor. Dr. Greene’s Address ef Welcome. In his address of welcome Dr. Greene ex- tended a cordial greeting to all the great assemblage. For three-quarters of a cen- tury, he said, Columbian University has stood up for all théit ti best in the higher education. Her alumni have achieved note- worthy success, ang have earned fame and kenor for themsel And for their alma mater in many fieltis of opportunity. Her faculty has contained many of the most illustrious members af the community, while her presidents have formed one un- broken line of great and poble men. He was glad that the line h; jhown no signs of breaking, but gives Jpromise of keeping on as ft started and continued through all the years of the untversity’s life. “We welcome with fdll hearts,” sald Dr. Greene, “our new pi lent, young, brave. cultured and devout, under whose leader- ship Columbian will’ go on to new useful- ness and continued success.” Dr. Strong’s Addre: Rev. A. H. Strong, D. D., the president of the Rochester Theological Seminary, then delivered a beautiful address on the subject of the religious aspect of university train- irg. Dr. Strong began by paying a high tribute to the ability and character of the new presi- dent of Columbian University. He brought with him weleome and congratulations to Dr. Whitman, and expressed the confidence that, under his able leadership, the universi- ty would continue in its march of progress and be a still more potent factor in the edu- cation of the young men of the land. He then spoke at some length of the relation that ex- ists between religion and university educa- tion. Christ is the truth and the only truth of God, and there can be no truth isolated from God any more than an electric light could be isolated from the great central dynamo. As an inference from this, he said, it devolves upon us to strive to realize all we can of the great truths of the world, for God ig not only the head of the church, but also the Lord of the universe. A problem that confronts us today is to harmonize the teachings of science and religion, education and spiritual truth: This can only be real- ized through a knowledge of Christ. The Christian church has always been the true friend of learning, and is rightly called the mother of universities. Referring to the matter of higher and lower education, he said that the conception or belief that the higher depends upon the lower is a mistaken ore; the relation is just the reverse. Higher education is not to be compared to the apex of a pyramid, but to a great reservoir from which flow all the streams which run through the city. In conclusion, Dr. Strong sald: “I rejoice in the glorious future that opens before Columbian University.” This expression of confidence occasioned tre- mendous applause from the students, so that the selection of the Marine Band, ‘The Sun- ny South,” could scarcely be heard at all. President Patton’s Address. Dr. Patton's address was a very able dis- sertation on the subject of university train- ing, especially in this country. In begin- ning, he sald that he had reason to feel very much at home in Washington, and, looking at the hundreds of orange and blue flags from a little distance, it was very easy to imagine that he was surrounded by a crowd of his own students, waving their orange and black. It was curious, he said, that the colors of Columbian come nearer the orig- inal on which Princeton's colors were based than do the colors so intimately associated with the college of New Jersey. “I come,” said Dr. Patton, ‘‘to bring the salutations and the congratulations of the university over which I have the honor to preside. I am not altogether a stranger within this city, nor can I forget that the honored man who presided so successfully over Columbian was a graduate of Prince- ton, and, while loyal to Columbian, never forgot the erence and respect due to his alma mater. Dr. Patton then paid a beautiful and elo- quent tribute to the’ memory of Dr. Welling and the place he filled in the world of edu- cation. Reverting to his subject, he said that were Dr. Whitman a novice as a college president he would seek to give him some conception of the nature of the position to which he was called, and what he was ex- pected to do and to be. A college president in the general conception is a reconciliation of paradoxes, at once a saint and man of the world, a scholar and a successful man of business. Columbian, said Dr.» Patton, is a_uni- versity of co-ordinated faculties. There are various kinds ef universities and va- rious ideas of what a university should be. There is the college in the town and the college in the city. For those who regard a college career as four years spent among pleasant scenes, literary and educational environments, and blessed with the advan- tages that accrue from intimate associa- tions there is much to be said for the col- lege in the town. There is much to be sald also for the college in the city, especially in the line of post-graduate and scientific studies. But. there is only one capital of the nation, one Washington, and no one could question him when he said that this city should in the very nature of things be the seat of a great institution of learn- ing. In point of fact there are more than one here aud all he asked for either or all of them was that they should be amply, abundantly and adequately supported and endowed. Speaking of the true aims of university training, Dr. Patton said that the old-fashioned college with its four years of Latin, Greek, mathematics and kindred branches was a pretty good sort of col- lege, and is a pretty good sort of a college today, for it has sent into the world some of its finest and best men. America has developed about the best sort of college and university to answer her peculiar needs. ‘The most serious question before the edu- cational world today is not whether we can supply specialists in chemistry, engi- neering, lew or medicine, but whether we can meet the demand for high-toned, high- souled Christian men. The audience, at the conclusion of Dr. Pstton’s address, sang “America,” under the leadership of N. Dushane Cloward. Be- fore beginning the song, Dr. Whitman an- nounced that he held in his hand a manu- script autograph copy of the hymn, written but a few weeks ago by its eminent author, Dr. Smith, and dedicated to the new presi- dent of Columbian. At the conclusion of the singing Dr. Greene introduced Dr.Whit- man in a few appropriate and well-chosen remarks. President Whitman’s Address. President Whitman’s topic was “The Mis- sion of Culture.” He referred to the wide diffusion of knowledge as a feature of our generation. Still, as of old, we are com- pelled to speak of the educated class. We have an artstocracy of culture. No respon- sibility, he said, was larger than that of in- tellectual and moral leadership. “What,” he said, “is the mission of cul- ture? Manifestly no life of ease. Possession is power. Power fs obligation. Opportunity is an imperative to action. Culture is pos- session and power and opportunity. Its mission is a straightforward word to the world’s heart, recalling the history of its own development, recognizing the sphere within which it has a right to speak, and im- pressing itself upon the world’s life for the answering of hard questions and the relief of need.” Dr. Whitman then discussed at length the conditions of culture, the domain and the uses of culture. Speaking of the instruments and aids to culture he said: “The name of these 1s legion. All things ecntributing to enlightenment and strength call for enumeration here. Life is open on many sides, and every means of approach is an ald to culture. Sorge of these serve only indirectly; others are recognized as indis- persable. First, of ;course, stands educa- tional equipment—dormitories for homes, class rooms for conférence, lecture rooms for learning, laboratories for investigation, Wbraries for research, endowments for sup- pert—these are among the commonpiaces of educational need. Without them any insti- tution 1s crippled. Thijs equipment need not be showy, but it needs to be there. Add to this men and motives; and the list is com- plete. It takes the three to make a great inst itt oe eau ome pene motives and men. The volume and qu..lity of a river depend upon the springs which feed it, but its value as power depends upon the conformation of Jand through which it makes its way. Char- acter and motives of teachers determine the volume and quality of the stream of educa- tion, but equipment determines what it shall accomplish on its way. So great is the pre- Penderance of character and purpose that one is sometimes tempted to think material aids unimportant. In a little Maine town, miles away from any railroad, is an academy of the old-fashioned type. It is beautifully equipped now, but that ts no part of the story. For forty years its only building was structure which could not have been more than twenty feet square, even if measured outside the walls, containing two rooms, one above the other. There was plenty of room outside—all Oxford county—but inside, the only things of which there was plenty were students hungry to learn and teachers hun- gry to teach. There was no equipment worth speaking of, but from that school have gone out men Ifke Percival Bonney and Josiah H. Drummond and John D. Long and Hannibal Hamlin. All of which goes to show that the first condition is not equip- ree t, eects =~ men. None the less, le second condition is important. The t school will have both. = The Scholar in the World. “The main work of the scholar,” said Dr. Whitman, “lies without halls of learning. His conclusions are exhibited outside. Effi- ciency is always a test of value. Spiritual energy, no less than physical, is measured by what it can do. The scholar’s true title is a sch larly man. His attainment is not a thing to be kept apart, for his first voca- tion is as a man. There is no such thing as learning for its own sake. A philosophy always implies an art. ‘Social conduct is the art corresponding to our philosophy of life, and, therefore, is the sure test of its truth.’ The hard-handed are not the only workers. There is toil of mind as well as of muscle. The skilled workman of the brain may not be able to wield pick or shovel, but he devises the operations by which pick and shovel are kept going. There is a marketable element in learning. Knowledge is strength and deftness and coolness. Knowledge commands. The scholar is knowledge in the concrete. His Place 's in the world, for in the world is knowledge needed. There the character of his attainment is made known. If he has discovered the secret of truth, conscience will find him a mighty man, ready for truth’s sake to be crucified. This does not mean that to enter upon his work a man must know everything. We cannot wait to become omniscient. But some things are already settled. There are not two sides to every question. The presumption in favor of justice against injustice. of truth against falsehood, of good against evil, should never for a moment be in doubt. The background of many solutions is al- ready set. The question of the hour is not a separate question, but part of a great plexus, whose relations have already been determined. It is safe to assume that wise men have lived before us. Progress for our generation is not likely to run at right angles to the way of human progress hith- erto. To find this way is what men cry for. Only such as have walked out over it can reveal the way to others. If any such regards his light as for himself alone, his selfishness is sin. But history makes it pretty clear that there !s a compulsion in the possession of truth that makes the man who holds it share his gift with others. The leaders of the world in every age have been those who stood nearest to the way of truth. And year by year the number is incressed of those who go- forth among men fitted to answer their hard questions for them out of the knowledge that has made them acquainted with themselves. Redemption Through Personality. “The solution, therefore, is nearer than we think. It does not lie where most look for it. The confidence of our generation in external aids borders on the miraculous. It demands that our possession of material appliances shall be turned so as to solve all enigmas of today and at once, and make all men omniscient, happy and good. We talk as if some discovery in science or poli- tics was to Ifft up the masses and right the wrongs of the world. If the trouble were no deeper than that, the way to Utopia would be short. But even in these demands ve get glimpses of the way. The nations which know most about science and poll- ties are the nations which have discovered that renovation must work first within. The way to Utopia lies for no small dis- tance over the difficult road of moral im- provement. Only a scant portion of ths Kingdom of heaven comes by legislation. Trouble has always had one chief source. Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the ser- pent. The trouble really was in themselves. Until men are taught to look within them- selves there is no help. Realization of the facts is che first step in reformation. Char- ity will still be needed. The gospel of thrift should be preached no doubt. But what message has that gospel for a man who has had nothing to eat for three days? ‘When the sky falls we shall catch larks.’ No doubt. But while we are waiting for the sky to fall? When all the social re- demptions have been accomplished it will be well. But what are’ we to do with hungry men in the meantime? None the less, much of our charity is a curse to the recipient. Anything is a curse that weakens manhood. Pictures and books and bread may pauperize a man. Much of our phil- anthropy partakes of the kindness that would give the mole an electric light to work by. The utmost charity can do, or ought to do, 1s to help make a man master of himself. Better help a man feed himself than feed him. Better awaken a sense of responsibility than persuade a man that he is the victim of circumstan- ces. The pcewer that rules the world is not simply love, but law; no weak- lng or negation or dwarf divinity, but a divine righteousness that would make men righteous. The way upward is the way marked by Abraham and beaten hard by the feet of all the saints who have follow- ed him. Ignoring that way is the mistake of those who renounce the cure of souls for the cure of evils, and so miss both. What men most need is renewal, with im- pulse born of fresh hope. The secret of this les in personality. The crowning element of inspiration in every age has been con- tact with personality able to impart its own life and power. The masses must be lifted from above. Their problem will find solu- tion only as men who have wrestled through it on higher planes offer themselves as com- panions and pledges of safe leading. Words will not avail. Men need life. It is as em- bodied in personality that truth is life. “ ‘And so the word had breath and wrought ‘With human hands the creed of creeds, In loveliness of perfect deeds, More strong than all poetic thought.” Sacrifice the Law of Progress. “The mission of culture lies here. There 1s in it no promise of ease, but ease is neither the first nor the main condition of attain- ment. Sacrifice is the law of progress. The world lives through those who make their lives an offering for the good of others. It is an ancient proverb that in the foundation of a building that should abide must inno- cent life be inclosed. History has taken good care that that doctrine should not be forgotten. What the world has that is worth most, it has in accordance with the law of free will offering. Under that law we stand. Culture is stewardship. Its task 1s great, but so is its power. There is such a thing as reasonable optimism. The dark phases do not come all at once. ‘It is always day somewhere.’ We may be justified in feeling optimistic concerning man, while pessimistic concerning men. In man him- self is the deepest pledge that one day the equities and the expediencies will be brought tegether. And so, upheld by the sense of the greatness of our calling, we may press on for our fellows’ sake, making the way of life straight and the mystery of death plain. Our place 1s with men. The old prophet was a voice in the wilderness. The new prophet must take his stand in the world. There, in the busy marts, where men are struggling upward, must his voice be heard. Our duty is our privilege. And both are close at hand. The golden age of fable is far away. Ro- mance sees it in the past. Faith expects it in the future. Neither view greatly con- cerns our task, for, whatever the golden age may be, the golden opportunity is in the present.” At the close of his address the benedic- tion was pronourced by Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith, rector of St. John’s Church. The big crowd slowly dispersed amid the sing- ing and cheering of the students, who had marked the evening for their own and made the best of it. ‘The arrangements for the occasion, made by Mr. Robert H. Martin, the secretary and treasurer of the university, who served as chief marshal at the inauguration, were in all respects admirable. The vast throng was handled with the greatest ease by the corps of assistant marshals that assisted Mr. Martin. On the Platform. Among those who had been invited to oc- cupy seats on the platform were the follow- ing well-known gentlemen, members of the faculties of Columbian and others: Rev. Franklin Wilson, Hiram Woods, Henry Taylor, Eugene Levering, George O. Manning, James Pollard, Postmaster Gen- ETO.
