New Haven, Conx., Sept. 30.—The, matriculation sermon by President Ar- thur T. Hadley today to Yale students dealt largely with the duties of col- lege faculties_and undergraduates to- ward the emergencies brought by the war. He devoleped the idea that the students should not be impatient be- cause the government would not ac- cept them for fighting before they reached their mafority but rather work the harder to be thoroughly fit- ted for work when they were celled. He took for his text this quotation from proverbs: ‘“Wisdom is the prin- cipal thing: therefore get wisdom; and with all thy gettiyz understanding.” He pointed out that in Fngland at the beginning of the war nearly every medical student at once enrolled for service and later most of thess had to be sent back for further study to make them real effectives. This, he maintained, was an example by which this country could avoid a similar mis- talce. Continuing, he said. “We are not certdin_that our case is parallel with to that of the medi, cal students. We are Impatfent with the war department for not leting us fight until we are twenty-one. We doubt the wisdom or patriotism of remaining in college when there are s0 many obvious things for which hands and heads are needed.
