What a University Should be,
[Edward Wetmore at Harvard Dinner.]
The college has expanded into a
great university. It was her manifest
destiny that she should. But it is not
upon a past reputation, however great,
that her supremacy depends. It de-
pends upon preserving unchanged
through all changes, keeping pace with
all her growth, that traditional spirit
that puts deeds before words, that
seeks realities and not shams, that no
defeat can discourage and no success
intoxicate, that maintains an ideal of
courtesy and scholarship, of simplicity
and honor, of truthfulness and patri-
otism, that is ready, if the call comes,
to follow the right, even to martyrdom,
but is in ideal only to be felt and
striven for, not to be paraded and
talked about. (Cheers.) It is needed,
too, that a great university keep in
touch with the spirit of the nation.
The time is past for cloister education.
More and more in view of the require-
ments of the society in which we live
is the value of a university training
measured by what it does in the mak-
ing of the. citizen. Harvard was
brought forth and nourished by the
party of freedom.
She is no home for the breeding of
any creed that despairs of the republic:
that finds in our country no place for
a gentleman, and sees in our politics
only a field of activity for knaves; that
stifles the generous enthusiasm that
ever hopes and strives for the best,
and, for the faith that never falters,
would substitute that paresis of mind
and heart alike, whose victim con-
siders our society in decadence and our
Government a failure. (Cheers.)
Harvard can only keep the proud place
she has won by drawing her support
from the whole country, and she can
only receive that support because the
country believes that her teaching and
her influence develop true American
manhood. Let that belief be lost and
all the millions in our treasury, all our
departments equipped for instruction
in every branch of learning cannot save
our leadership.
But it never shall be lost. As has
been the Harvard of old, such is the
real Harvard to-day, and such will
be the Harvard of the future. She will
be judged by her children. Never
Shall she lack sons to make her glori-
ous by their lives and deeds. Wherever
the’ struggle of reason against jgnor-
ance, of right against wrong, of law
and peace against disorder and vio-
lence is going on, there shall you find
them in the front, and hear their voices
ring true on the right side. Come
peace or, which God forbid, come war,
whoever goes furthest, works hardest,
dares most for his fellows, his home,
his country, for humanity—will find be-
side him those who bear the crimson
badge for Harvard.

The Medical School Class Book.
The Symptom Record makes its ap-
pearance for the first time this week.
It is the Medical School class book,
and in addition to the individual his-
tories, half tones, and articles found in
all class books, it contains some pecu-
liar to its own sphere. A half tone of
the Medical Hall and Laboratory opens
the book, which is dedicated to the
Medical College. Scattered
through the publication are plates of
the Faculty, the Chittenden Library,
interiors of the Medical Department
and those of various wards at the New
Haven Hospital.
Of the Class of thirty-seven members
twenty of whom come from New Ha-
ven, Ernest Kilbourn Loveland is voted
most versatile, Richard Stayner Graves
brightest, most to be admired and most
likely to succeed as a doctor, and Har-
ry Little Welch most popular.
The constitution of the Alumni As-
sociation, a corrected list of living
graduates of that Department, and a
complete history of the School are
other features of the book.

The Ninety-seven Class Book.
The Academic Senior Class Book
which appears this week is the twenty-
seventh of its kind, the first one having
appeared in 1870. They have steadily
increased in size, and improved in gen-
eral appearance and interest to the
Class as well as to the public. A de-
parture from the conventional book has
been made this year in nearly every
portion of the volume. The cover is not
the somber blue or gray of former
years, but yellow with a black design.
A new introductory chapter giving a
history of the Class Book as an in-
stituion, has been inserted. A new
chapter on debating has been intro-
duced, and those chapters treating of
the four years have been written in a
personal manner, following an indi-
vidual through the course, rather than
in the abstract method of previous
years. The half-tones are the best yet
produced in a Similar publication at
Yale. The statistics have been care-
fully compiled, and the votes as given
here submitted only after several re-
countings.

been lost to the Class by death, the

$750.58; Sophomore year, $803.29; Junior
year, $891.03; Senior year, $970.40. At
least twenty-five per cent. of the Class
have helped to pay their way through
college.

and most disagreeable, and Senior year

fessor; Mr. A. L. Wheeler, the favorite
tutor; Prof. A. M. Wheeler, the most
