by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, and the de-
livery of the oration by Professor
Woodrow Wilson.

academic procession, led by President
Cleveland and Dr. Patton. Dr. Theo-

ferring of honorary degrees, several

dent Cleveland was introduced and de-
livered the address on ‘‘College Gradu-

The President to University Wen.
[From Mr. Cleyeland’s Speech at Princeton’s Sesqui-
centennial. |
When a design is apparent to lure
the people from their honest thoughts
and to blind their eyes to the sad
plight of national dishonor and bad
faith, I would have Princeton Uni-
versity, panoplied in her patriotic tra-
ditions and glorious memories, and
joined by all the other universities and
colleges of our land, cry out against
the infliction of this treacherous and
fatal wound.
I would have the influence of these
institutions on the side of religion and
morality, I would have those they
send out among the people not
ashamed to acknowledge God, and to
proclaim His interposition in the af-
fairs of men, enjoining such obedience
to His laws as makes manifest the
path of national perpetuity and pros-
perity.
I hasten to concede the good al-
ready accomplished by our educated
men in purifying and steadying po-
litical sentiment; but I hope I may be
allowed to intimate my belief that
their work in these directions would
be easier and more useful if it were
less spasmodic and occasional. The
disposition of our people is such that
while they may be inclined to dis-
trust those who only on rare occa-
sions come among them from an ex-
clusiveness savoring of assumed su-
periority, they readily listen to those
who exhibit a real fellowship and a
friendly and habitual interest in all
that concerns the common welfare.
Such a condition of intimacy would, I
believe, not only improve the general
political atmosphere, but would vast-
ly increase the influence of our univer-
sities and colleges in their efforts to
prevent popular delusions or correct
them before they reach an acute and
dangerous stage. I am certain, there-
fore, that a more constant and active
participation in political affairs on the
part of our men of education would be
of the greatest possible value to our
country.
Tt is exceedingly unfortunate that
politics should be regarded in any
quarter as an unclean thing, to be
avoided by those claiming to be edu-
cated or respectable. It would be
strange, indeed, if anything related to
the administration of our government
or the welfare of our nation should be
essentially degrading. I believe it is
not a superstitious sentiment that
leads to the conviction that God
has watched over our national life
from its beginning. Who will say
that the things worthy of God’s regard
and fostering care are unworthy of
the touch of the wisest and best of
men?
I would have those sent out by our
universities and colleges not only the
counsellors of their fellow country-
men, but the tribunes of the people—
fully appreciating every condition
that presses upon their daily life, sym-
pathetic in every untoward situation,
quick and earnest in every effort to
advance their happiness and welfare,
and prompt and sturdy in the de-
fense of all their rights.
IT have but imperfectly expressed the
thoughts to which I have not been
able to deny utterance on an occasion
so full of glad significance and so per-
vaded by the atmosphere of patriotic
aspiration. Born of these surround-
ings, the hope cannot be in vain that
the time is at hand when all our coun-
trymen will more deevly appreciate
the blessings of American citizenship,
when their disinterested love of their
government will be quickened, when
fanaticism and passion shall be ban-
ished from the field of politics, and
when all our people, discarding ev-
ery difference of condition or oppor-
tunity, will be seen under the hban-
ner of American brotherhood, march-
ing steadily and unfalteringly on to-
ward the bright heights of our na-
tional destiny.
