he must be a man consecrated to this
work. A Christian man whose heart
and soul and mind are bound up. in
the one idea of serving God by making
Yale University a place from whence
shall go out to the country and the
world, fine young men, with love of
knowledge in their minds and love of
God-and their fellow men in their
hearts.
“T don’t want a man who is great in
any particular line of research or
scholarships. And, fine as research
scholarships are, I don’t care to have
Yale particularly conspicuous in that
line. Let’s leave that to the other
universities for the present and get a
man who will make Yale the greatest
place for a young man to get a founda-
tion simply, or to start him in the line
of being useful and decent. I don’t
mean to cry down the P.G. courses.
But let’s be as far removed from
Chicago University as possible, where
the scholars are only an impediment to
the original research of the professors.
I think ina way that we are this already,
but I think we want to go on and be
more so. And I would like a man so
big and so liberal that he could draw to
him the best men for professors. By
the best men I mean not the best
scholars, but the best combinations of
man and teacher. If such a man could
reign long enough, Yale could be made
the ideal place for the boy to go to.
“But in this ideal we are losing sight
of the fact that we have got to have
money. So you have got to bother
the poor President about the ways and
means and he has got to be strong
enough to stand up under that too, and
not do things: that he would like to.
And he and the Treasurer have got to
put their heads together and do as well
as they can under the circumstances.
I think Abraham Lincoln would have
made a good President for Yale.. There
isn't very much “side” to my. ideal
President, but I suppose now and then
there is a man whose presence only can
and does create respect, almost rever-
ence, in the better sort of undergradu-
ate. Our President will be that sort of
a man. The sacred fire will burn so
bright that the light wl show. Well
it’s fine picture and I hope we may get
such a one.’’.

A Contribution to Yale Verse.
Health and wealth to good old Yale!
May your fortunes never fail,—
Still expand and ne’er curtail.
Prosperous may you onward sail
Spite of rock, or shoal, or gale!
Enemies can’t make you quail
Though “the heathen rage” and rail.
Ever may your Sons prevail,
Swift like deer—not slow like snail;
Bright like Edward Everett Hale,
Learn’d as. old Myles Coverdale;—
Folly reined with martingale!
Fighting forward “tooth and nail’—
Knowing “no such word as fail!’
Clad in honor’s coat of mail;
Truth and justice ne’er for sale,—
Guarded like the Holy Grail! :
Know ye that the human male
Still must strive, though ills assail,— .
Else, he’ll wed not Lily frail
(Weeping through her _ tear-stained
veil) .
Or his bouncing Abigail
(Gay in silks or farthingale)—
Missing her—like Glory Quayle,—
And her father’s rich entail!
While the farmer swings his flail,
(Plain and honest, stout and hale),
Milks the cow that fills the pail,
Hoes the corn, or splits the rail:—
While the whaler hunts the whale
(Far from telegraph and mail)
“Like a rat without a tail’’—
(That’s from Shakespeare;
pale.)
While the toper swills his ale,
Guzzling on a liberal scale: :
While the swindler “jumps his bail,”
Or the plotter of blackmail,
Shunning judgment, fleeing jail—
don’t turn
While the poet sighs his tale;
Spinning verses (fresh or stale)
To his friend the nightingale:—
Seeking rhymes that laugh or wail,—
Mostly—rhymes without avail!—
phe these “‘whiles” I’d cry “all
ait:
Ne’er may rivals countervail
May your fortunes never fail— |
Glorious, Kindly, Grand Old Yale .
Frederick Keppel.
