Some time ago o regent of the university sald to me, “Now that we have Wheeler we must change our notion of rivalry. Hence- forth it shall not be Berkeley against Stan- ford nor Stanford against Berkeicy, but fornia ageinst the world.” Now. in all cusness, why not? Why not Berkeley and Stanford, together and indivisible, against the world? It has been Dr. Wheeler's good fortune and mine to at the feet of the same great master—Andrew D. White. We can remem- ber President White's appeal to his alumni wherever we might go we should stand r State universities, for in them is the educaticnal hope of the South and West.” e of Stanford are not deaf to this appeal. Ws are citizens of California, loyal and true. We shall stand by our State unive for in its development Is the educational hope of our golden west, and we pl ge to President Wheeler our heip In fullest loyvaity, whenever and wherever and howsoever he may ask our ald. An orchestral selection, “The Palms, preceded the introduction of Danlel Coit Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins Uni- versity and president of the University of Califernia from 1872 to 1575, who had been invited the regents at the suggestion of President Wheeler, to deilver the ad- dress. The spontaneous burst of good feeling that greeted his appearance must have done his heart good. It brought smiles to his face and he bowed right and left to the great throng. As in the case of President Jordan, it was some moments before he thought prudent to wade into the surf of applause, and time and again throughout its delivery he was forced to vield to the vociferous manifestations of the effects his remarks had upon his hearers. Dr. Gilman's address was in three parts. First, in the warmest terms he congratu- lated the University of *California on the accession of President Wheeler; next, by request, he gave a brief summary of the recent progress of American universities, and, finally, he Indicated some points in which it seemed to him_ that the Univer- sity of California should surely excel. He cafd in par PRESIDENT GILMAN'S CON- GRATULATIONS, 1 congratulate you on the succession of great gifts waich have supplemented the appropria- fions of the State and have helped to attract to this place throngs of young men and maid- ens in the pursuit of a liberal education. With heartiness for which no tones can be too em- phatic, I congratulate you on the far-sighted munificence of that generous woman, whose hope it is that the buildings of this university ehail be worthy of its aims, and who desires that this shall not be constricted haphazard. Few persons know as I do what a persistent, sagacloue and successful search the regents made for a president. If they were eager to give an example of original investigation, Which tests alert until a finality fs_reache they could not have done better. But th difficulties did not end with their discovery persuasion was harder than research. The ieader of their choice had recelved many pre- vious calls, to which his ear remained deaf. The ties of intellectual and sound friendship, the assurance that & professor's chair is stable, while a president is usually offered a hich looks | ready to promote ‘the vigor, the industries, the really shaky, and the consciousness that in an old State the traditions of education are secure of recognition—all these considerations were of weight. He has wisely decided; greater oppor- tunities on a broader fleld, the generous sup- port of the authorities and’ that large minded- ness which has ever been an alluring charac- teristic of the Californians, have captured him; and now with one volce his old friends in the ast, his new friends in the West, bid him God speed. Bind him now with bands of steel; strengthen his hands; confirm his plans; listen to his counsel, and foon you will know what you now believe, that the right man is here— suggestive, strong, hopeful, wise and inspirin wealth, the literature, the politics State. It was appropriate that the wedding march from “Lohengrin” should signal | the appearance of the bridegroom about {to wed the fair young university, stand- | ing there blushing under the trees with | her brothers and sisters; and, when its last trlumphant strain had been drowned in a rousing welcome, greater, longer, | stronger than any of the numerous wel- the science, the arts, and the religion of this great SCENES AT PRESIDENT WHEELER'S INAUGURATION. comes PresiGent Wheeler has received | since he last came within the confines of California, President Wheeler arose to | deliver ais inaugural message to his people. ‘The applause died away and the | assembly, re faculty, student alumni and fri of the university settied back to k In every word.

Among the demands for the internal devel- opment of the university none rank in my | estimation with those of the library. Instead of 75,000 volumes there ought to be to-day 300,- 0.

The whole problem is not so much one | of legality, however, or of control, but one of thorough co-operation and of the prevention of duplication in academic work. The presidency of an American university is to-day the medium of communication between the two main elements which give a university life and being. The Incumbent of the office, a8 holding a dual relation, is not only subject to misunderstanding and ‘to the consequent and common charge of duplicity, but is placed In a | position that Is frankly untenable, except with the full confidence and loyal co-operation of faculty and regents alike.
