Edison, in his seventy-fifth year, officiated In his first baseball game yesterday. The occasion was a Pall game between members made up from his West Orange plant, the boratory team versus the Disc Record partment.

She is unique. There is only one thing rarer than genius and that is radium. She illus- trates the combination of both." In presenting Dr. Angell, the pro- fessor said: “S8on of a great college president and ideally prepared to be one him- selt. . . . He has a thorough un- derstanding of America’'s needs iIn higher education and profound sym- pathy with Yale sentiment. . . . In choosing Dr. Angell as president Yale has gone back to her earliest traditions, and as was the case with her first five presidents, has taken a graduate of another institution. It was not until 1766 that a Yale grad- uate became president. Imstead of having been a Yale man he has spent his life preparing to be one.” Honorary Degrees. The honorary degrees are as follows: Master of Arts: Willam Rose Benet, Yale 1907, poet at the recent sommemorative exercises for Yale men who lost their lives in the war, associate editor of the Literary Re- view and the New York Evening Post; Isalah Bowman, director of the American Geographical society; Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the children’s bureau of the United States Depart- ment of Labor; James Gamble Ro- gers, architect of the Harkness Me- morial quadrangle at Yale. Doctor of Divinity: William James Hutchins, president of Berea col- lege. Doctor of Letters: George Bird Grinnell, author; Archibald Marshal, English novelist. Doctor of Science: Hideyo Nogu- chi, of Rockefeller Institute for Med- ical Research; Mme. Curie, co-dis- coverer of radium. Holcomb Gets Degree Doctor of laws—Marcus H. Hol- comb, war governor of Connecticut; Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, judge of the court of appeals of New York; Sir Robert Jones lecturer at the University of Liverpool; John Wil- liam Davis, recently U. S. Ambassa- dor to Great Britain; Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale university for 22 years; James Rowland Angell, fourteenth president of Yale. The symbols of university author- tly were next presented to Dr. Angell by the retiring president, Dr. Hadley. The new president was welcomed conferred tremely grave crisis by reason of dearth of properly qualified teach- ers. The cure for the conditions he mentioned, he said, was found in better academic salaries, in more congenial conditions of work and a more generous recognition of the im- portance of the scholar’'s function by the general public. He said that imbued with the true Yale spirit of loyalty to country and to God he took up the task manfully and un- afraid. The closing hymn was sung, the benediction pronounced and the guests, officers and then the newly graduated men filed out, and the ex- ercises were over. The alumni luncheon followed im- mediately thereafter. SIMS RETURNS; IS SILENT AT PRESENT (Continued From First Page). handful of persons who had gathered there came neither cheers nor taunts. Among those who met the admiral was his brother. On the trip from quarantine, the admiral maintained strict silence de- clining to make any statement before reporting to Secretary Denby. The admiral was in mufti. Indeed, during the voyage he wore his uni- form only at dinner. Mrs. Sims ac- companied him home. He chatted with newspaper men on the way up from quarantine and seemed in the best of humor. On her way to the pier, the Olympic passed a Sound steamer whose pas- sengers lined the rail. Across the stretch came the sound of cheers for Sims. The admiral told newspapermen the cable from Secretary Denby or- dering him to return had been great- ly delayed. Shown cartoons of him- self he smiled and said he might have something to say later. There was no demonstration out- side the pier, nor on the way to the ‘Pennsylvania station. At the station, however, there were a few boos and cheers and one wom- an was seen parading with a banner bearing the picture of a jackass— apropos of the reference to jackasses reported to have been made by Ad- miral Sims in his London speech. The woman was not troubled by the po- lice. Col. M. A. Kelly of the Veteran's Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic, said a copy of resolutions adopted by the organiza- tion denouncing the admiral for his with a fanfare of trumpets, and the audience which had maintained silence during the ceremony broke in- to the heartiest of applause. Dr. Hadley addressing his successor said, in part: Dr. Hadley Speaks. “Never did the office of president bring with it greater burdens and re- sponsibiiities than it does today. The whole system of education is chang- ing. New and vastly multiplied de- mands are made upon our teaching forces, We must do our part in so educating the nation as a whole that its members may be efficient in their several callings, and may at the same time be animated by those ideals which make for unselfish conduct. He who would take the lead in this work must himself be efficient and must himself be animated by spiritual ideals.” Turning directly to Dr. Angell, the president said: “May God give you strength so to discharge the trust which you now receive, that when (it comes your turn to transfer the office to your successor you will leave Yale more honored by the world for what you have taught her to do and more loved by her children for what you have helped her to be. Confident in this hope we salute you as our president.” “To you sir, we look for this leadership with a feeling of assurance and confidence, strong in the belief that in you the university will have an executive mindful of the tradi- tions ofthe past and at the same time ready to meet the obligations of the present and possible complications of the future.” Dr, Chittenden Speaks The welcome in behalf of the facul- ties was by Dr. Russell H. Chittenden of the Scientific school.| He said in part: No miracles mark the transition rom the old to the new, vet it is clear- ly apparent that the education, the sclences and the arts of the civilized world have gradually undergone pro- found changes. The function and scope o fa university today are vastly more complex than even a generation ago. It must be saturated with the vigor of youth seasofed by age: it must be pre- pared to deal with a diverstly of problems undreamed of even by our immediate predecsors, its president must be a leader to whom faculties and students alike can look for in- spiration and guldance. President Lowell Also The welcome for other institutions of learning was by President Abbott Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard univer- sity. He said, in part: “Daughter of learning and mother of men; Yale two hundred and twenty years enlarged the circle of her in- fluence, until it became national in its scope. Her sisters have gathered here for the inauguration of her president, but first we want to speak of the great scholar who to our regret, has laid the office down. we are proud to tell him of our affection and respect. We welcome his successor, who with un- faultering hand, take the Blue pen- nant, for an advance in the unending course of progress.” Here Persident Lowell spoke of other great univer- sities and of what they represented and said: “They work not for themselves alone. Theirs, like the vestal virgins, to keep alive the sacred firt lit long ago, to furnish it to all who seek it, and to add fresh fuel to the ever brightening flame. It is in this spirit that, on behalf of the sister institu- tion here assembled, I congratulate you sir, on the opportunities that lie before you and this great university speech were handed to him upon his arrival, together with a mock cer- tificate of thanks. Admiral declared he had not secen the documents. Sees Sims Tomorrow. Washington, June 22.—Secretary Denby plans to reccive Admiral Sims tomorrow.

An alleged feud over some ‘land at Mountain View will be ironed out” at the Plainville town court tonight. Constable John Conlon arrested J. Popelli and C. Dalton, residents at Mountain View, yesterday follawing complaint entered by Popelli. plaintiff claims that Dalton infr upon his right of way and trespa upon his property. The feud is s to have rted when land owned by the two men was surveyed. "It ap- pears that the result of the surveying did not appeal to Dalton who is al- legzed to have pulled ur the stakes set down by the surveyors which he claims to be his land. Popelli, how- ever, is confident that he owns the property, figuring the surveyors did not make a mistake. It is also alleged that the argument became so heated that Dalton pulled a pistol on Popelli. Justice Edward P. Prior will hear the case while Grand Juror William Foran will pros- secute. New Highway Proposed. It is possible that a new highway will be built by the town which iill adjoin the new factory of the Plain- ville Casting company, in order to give them a proper roadway to enter the center of the town. Engineer Jo- seph J. McKernan is making a survey of the proposed highway and maps will soon be ready for approval by the Town Plan commassion. The pro- posed road will start at Whiting street almost opposite the new plant, and will cut across the lots, over the rail- road tracks, past tlte factory and probably out onto South Washington street. There seems to be some ques- tion, however, regar&ing the right of way over the railroad tracks #s the statute laws forbid the making of a highway over a grade crossing. It is possible that the highway from Whiting street to the plant will have to be abandoned, but will be built from the plant to South Washington street. Another plan is to have the town accept the section econnecting Bank street mear the factory and improve this street. The place is now almost impassable after a rain and is knee deep with mud. This property wai owned by J. Silverstein, a real estate dealer, who later sold it for building lots. It will make a shorter route to the town if repaired so that vehicles may safely pass over it. The Town Plans commission has the proposition under consideration. Whist Tonight. The Martha Rebekah lodze will hold its public whist at the Odd Fel- lows' rooms tonight. The public has been extended a cordial invitation to attend. The affair will commence at 8 o'clock and continue until 10 o'clock. Herm garet Dorothea will act as Nellia L. Tce Cream Festival.
