STANFORD UNIVERSI.Y.May 25.— With the conferring of degrees to- day the exercises of commencement week came to a clor~. The degree of bachelor of arts was conferred on 161 students. Ten degrees of master of arts and two of dcet~~ of philosophy were given. The feature of the day was the an- nual addres; by President Jordan, in which he dwelt upon the war with | Spain and held that this nation should | not hold conquered territory.

What will be the reflex effect of great victories, suddenly realized trength, the patronizing applause, the ili-concealed envy of great nations, the conquest of strange territory, of our flag beyond the seas? s is new to u It is un-American; it is con- trary to our traditions; it is delicious; it is intoxicating. | of the war Dr. Jordan referred to the | retention of the territory which we | will capture and in answer to the ques- | tion: “Why shall we not hold €uba if she becomes ours by conquest?”’ he said: Because that would be a cowardly thing to do. The justification of her capture is that we do not want her. If we want Cuba, common decency says we must let ner alone. Ours i1s a war of mercy, not Pof conquest. This we have plainly de- clared to all nations, and we meant what we sald. If we retire with clean hands it must be because our hands are empty. To keep Cuba would be to do as nations have done in the past—perhaps, as England would do if she were in our place.

The prob- lems—educational as well | many of them, new. We have grown up ulus of conditions all our own. We have been bound by no distant past nor ham- pered by the traditions of the land from which our fathers came. Most of our short natlonal life has so far been an ex- periment.

One century has seen us suddenly transformed from 3,000,000 sub- ject colonists on the Atlantic seaboard into a nation of 60,000,000 sovereilgn citi- zens, whose dominion reaches from ocean to ocean. Similarly, our culture is full grown but immature, like a boy of sixteen six feet tall.

Our American college may be the outgrowth of the Oxford and Cambridge idea further devalo& ,_but the American university is not the English university nor the German university. It is a mixed product grown under new conditions on new soil. Professor Miller called our present system with its 481 colleges and uni- versities a development with the vari- ous additions and other changes that come with growth out of the education of past ages.

In reference to the former he said: The art of Greece has been the inspira- tion, the wonder and the despair of all ar- tists since the day when the lofty spirit of Hellenic greatness began to flag. 71rat age saw, in at least some stratum of so- ciety, man at his highest and best since his creation, both mentally and physical- ly. And so it is our right and duty to ask how that condition was realized, and why we, with the example of their succes: and their failures of the spirit that was Introduced by way of Bethichem and Calvary, cannot attain that, and better than that, by the addi- tion’of the moral and spiritual strength that is ours from on high, He said the _roblems that the young Athenians of brains and power had to face were not so ver- different from those which confront th~ :oung Ameri- can. Their polity, he asserted, was as ours is called. a democracy—a govern- ment of the people by the people. Their vouth must-therefore have been fitted (and so must ours) not only for good citizenship, but for the highest duties of citizens, who are also rulers. He presented the main features of the | Athenian education, emphasizing their | love of the beautiful and showing that a broad foundation was the only one on which one could build well. In con- clusion he remarked: You have your life problems to face— not alone these literary, intellectual and educational problems, the proper solution of which will raise us ahove the present hopeful level of Philistine vulgarity which we are accused of occupying, and make us leaders of the world in things of pure intellect as well as in lines of mechanical application of scientific principles. This is vours to bring about; but you have also just as serlous soclal, economic and polit- ical problems, and the world looks to you to solve them. The question of finance must be answered by college men; the re- lation of capital to labor, the question of trusts. of marriage and divorce, and of the reform of municipal government, the annihilation of that worst enemy of ‘edi- ation and morals, that legalized destrover of men and propérty—the saloon. These grave problems which call for the ap- ation of the best minds and strongest acters our colleges can develop. cl PRESIDENT JORDAN AND THE NEW CHARTER XASMIN HOUSE, Stanford University. 1 believe that the chief cause of the failure of mu- nicipal government in the United States lies in the | conversion of the public &ervice into patronage to be distributed among per- sonal favorites and parti=- san workers.

Gregg, an auc- tioneer of Sheep Camp came down to Dyea as a delegate from that town to the Dyea Chamber of Commerce to in- sist upon police protection. He boldly stated that three shell men and gamb- lers were having everything their own way and charged that a United States Commissioner and a United States Deputy Marshal had been standing in with them. For this he was waylaid here and mortally wounded and he will probably die before morning. Mr. Gregg has several times boldly spoken his mind about these gentlemen who toil not. On Tuesday he had a tent to move. Some men lounging about a saloon asked him what he would pay. He offered 50 cents an hour and they jeered at him.
