fortunes.” No doubt new circumstances,
such as the multiplying of instructors,
may call for important changes. But
it is a pleasure to rely upon it that you
are not likely to be indifferent to the
essential advantages in the traditional
customs.
We congratulate ourselves that the
Corporation has given us a President
who knows what, in the modern sense
of the word, a university is,—especially
when we remember how widely the idea
is diffused in this country that any man
of note, of exceptionally good parts, 1s
conversant enough with the science of
education to manage a great literary in-
stitution. The wide range of your own
studies will be a safeguard against put-
ting all branches of knowledge on a level
as instruments of intellectual discipline,
and against the temptation either to de-
preciate the modern sciences and ran-
guages, or to decry as means of train-
ing and culture the languages and litera-
ture of antiquity. Especially do we
find a happy augury in the fact of your
sympathy with the design of the founders
of Yale and of its long succession of
guardians. We recognize in common
that the intent has always been, not
alone to equip a body of specialists for
one or another particular vocation, but
to lay a broad foundation for good ser-
vice in Church and State. Hence the
importance attached to the forces con-
cerned in the moulding of character, and
consequently to the inculcation of moral
and religious truth and to the worship
of God. Times change; instruments
and methods may change with them.
But we need no assurance that you esti-
mate aright the end in view, in which
lies the worth of special agencies em-
ployed to secure it.
One other ground of satisfaction on
the part of your associates you will per-
mit me to mention. It lies in your lively
interest in whatever affects the honor
and welfare of the country. For under-
graduates the College may well serve
as a watch-tower of observation and a
school of reflection. The struggles of
the arena are for a later date. In the
case of universitv teachers, it may be,
in the long run, most conducive to their
influence to stand aloof from the every-
day contests of party. But when a con-
flict arises in which fundamental prin-
ciples are at stake, a timid silence is
ignoble. At such times, in this land,
fearless utterances on the part of edu-
cated men are imperatively ‘called for.
A spontaneous concurrence of the uni-
versities and colleges in resolute en-
deavors to shape public opinion, in any
crisis of the kind referred to, we are
sure that you would welcome. Har-
vard, our elder sister, is with us to-
day to remind us of examples of cour-
ageous leadership. This rally of higher .
institutions of learning on the present
occasion may suggest the power which,
at critical moments in the nation’s life,
might be called into action.
Now that we are nearing the dawn of
another century in the history of Yale,
‘may the early years of your administra-
tion prove the harbinger of an extended
era to match and even to outdo the pros-
perous period now drawing to its close! ©
Almost immediately after the cere-
monies, the President’s reception in the
Art School began. The attendance
promised to include a very large num-
ber of the graduates who began to be
heard from in the last day or two of
preparation.
The parade in the evening had been
attended to with the utmost detail by
the committees and students, assisted
by members of the Faculty who had
been in charge of it. Dr. Boltwood of
the Scientific School has been partic-
ularly energetic, and some of the special
features of the parade are due to his
inventive genius.
Wale Courses for Teachers,
The courses for the benefit of the
school teachers of Connecticut, both
public and private, established in the

Coliege Golf Tournament.
The University Golf Tournament,
which was begun on Monday, October
9, has reached the final round as the
WEEKLY goes to press. E. M. Byers,
1901, and T. L. Cheney, 1901, are the
aspirants for final honors. The play
has been of an excellent quality through-
out the tournament, and T. M. Robert-
son’s, 1901, record of 78 strokes in the
qualifying round broke all previous rec-
ords. He was put out of the tourna-
ment in the semi-finals by T. L. Cheney,
with whom he played a 19-hole match.
