’24—A bust of the Hon. Benjamin D.
Silliman, Yale’s oldest living graduate,
was presented to the Yale Club of New
York, January. 27.
°30—The Hartford Courant of Tues-
day, Jan. 24 says: “Dr. Henry Barnard,
the eminent educator, was 88 years old
yesterday, and the event was celebrated
by a reception at his home in the after-
noon: Many friends braved the fierce
rain and called to pay their respects to
him and offer their congratulations on
his. long and useful life. The doctor
appeared in excellent health and spirits.
Many birthday gifts were sent in. In
the dining room a birthday cake, with
its eighty-eight candles all ablaze,
looked a good deal like a lively fire.
During the: day Dr. Barnard received
many telegrams and letters from edu-
cators through the country.”
°57—Dr. Cyrus Northrop, President
of the University of Minnesota, talked
recently before the Yale men of Min-
neapolis on “Expansion.” The follow-
ing is the conclusion of his address
as reported by the Minneapolis Tribune:
“Up to~the present time, certainly,
there has been no wild spirit of impe-
rialism manifested by our people. The
course of the President, thus: far, has
been eminently wise, and it remains for.
Congress to determine what the final
disposition of the acquired territory
shall be. In reaching a conclusion on
that subject, it is best to. go slowly.
We cannot outline the future by simply
looking at the past; we cannot deter-
mine our duties in the twentieth cen-
tury by studying the deeds of the fathers
a century ago. It is possible for us to
do a work for humanity that will not
only be mighty in its direct results, but
will stand as an example to the Chris-
fan nations of the world in coming
time, and determine, in a large measure,
the policy of the civilized world toward
the less. fortunate parts of the earth.
In the light of our example of what
we have done for Cuba, Europe will
hardly stand by in coming time and see,
unmoved , indiscriminate massacres in
Armenia, and the nation that thus does
something unselfish for humanity is
sre to receive a blessing. The man
who does something for another is
happier than he who thinks only of
himself, and I hold that that love which
is the. grandest thing in the world,
which ennobles men, and which is in
its essense the spirit of God, is some-
thing which may move, not merely in-
dividual men, but nations, and that the
nation which manifests most of this
unselfish. love in service for others is
most stire to become the favorite of
Heaven. An able writer in the East
has pointed out that there,are three
things which stand strongly in favor of
the maintaining of our hold upon the
territory we have taken, especially the
Philippine islands: The commercial
spirit of the Pacific coast, the intense
patriotism of the Central West; and
the conscience of the East, which will
not let its more conservative people
acquiesce in the surrender of the Philip-
pines, either to Spain or to anarchy.
The classification of influences is prob-
ably just, and I, for one, rejoice that it
is the intense patriotism of the people
among whom we live here in the West,
which will be largely responsible for
the maintenance of a policy which will
make this nation an example to other
Christian nations of the world, and a
benefactor to those who live in dark-
ness, and have never known the bless-
ings of freedom and justice.”

’85—Dr. Edwin F. Norton recently
accepted the position of principal of the
Haverling Union School of Bath, N. Y.
The Steuben County Advocate says of
the new principal: “The Board con-
sidered the qualifications of twenty-five
applicants, and were unanimous in the
selection of Dr. Norton, believing that
he was best fitted to maintain Haver-
ling’s high standing. Dr. Norton is a
native of Homer, Cortland Co., N. Y.,
and is thirty-six years of age. . He was
the principal of the Virgil graded school
from 1878 to 1880, graduated at Homer
Academy in 1881, and entered Yale
University. He graduated there in the
Class of Eighty-Five. He has been
three years principal of the Morrisville,
N. Y., Union Schools, which position
he left to become Professor of Lan-
guages in Olivet College, Michigan. In
1888 the University of Syracuse gave
him the degree of M.A. and six years
later Wooster University gave him the
degree of Ph.D. The past two years
he has been principal of the Middle-
burgh, N. Y., High School, and. had
been offered the position for a term
of years at an advanced salary. His
letters of recommendation were of the
highest order. The Board of Education
think-they have made no mistake in this
selection. Dr. Norton’s family consists
of his wife, and a daughter eight years
old.”
"86: T:S:—Rev. . Norman. Plass ° will

’°87—The Buffalo Express of January
13 has the following editorial: “The
community will be grateful to Gov.
Roosevelt for helping it to realize one
of its ideals. We are all idealists at
heart and when the ideals prove to be
the practical we all feel a secret glow
of satisfaction. The career of Thomas
Penney, yesterday appointed District
Attorney of Erie County, reads like a
chapter from American biography. A
poor emigrant boy, working with head
and hands to make his. way through
College and into a profession—how typi-
cal is this of our ‘self-made’ men! But
Thomas Penney is something better
than the rough-and-ready self-made
man. He was not satisfied with obtain-
ing enough education to enable him to
earn his living in a profession. He
worked for the more liberal culture,
too, and now he is the peer of the best
product of the schools. He had the
will, he found the way, and he has kept

his ideals bright. He has never been
satisfied to stop short and call thimself
complete. He made his way steadily
in the law, for which he develdped an
aptitude, but when he was appointed
Assistant District Attorney - he re-
nounced money-getting and -gave his
whole time to his public office: He
staked much on popular appreciation of
his devotion to duty, but he° was not
disappointed. He is District Attorney
of Erie County now, and, by all the
signs, he is destined to go higher. It
is an ideal appointment. It is the merit
system applied to a high office. It ap-
peals to one’s inherent sense of fitness.
No one but the law-breakers will be
aggrieved. The candidate of no fac-
tion of his party, District Attorney
Penney is the choice of the entire com-
munity. Everybody: recognizes his
ability and believes in- his fair-minded-
ness. He has the experience to make
a successful District Attorney and, more
valuable than all, he has the courage—
the backbone.” ae ee
