PRESIDENT AT CLEVELAND.

things, either not build or build for the
future. The plan of this building is to
have this large central nave, the expense
of which has been reduced by making it
extremely plain inside. The outside is
to be of Indiana sandstone, the inside
brick. It allows the development of
serving rooms on the north and will
leave over 20 feet on the north side
for the door lining of the dining room.
The south side is represented in a
general way by this colonnade here.
The north side will have high windows
with a series of kitchens and serving
rooms on the north, and it will, when
assured, be a building that will be
worthily commemorative of the end of
the century. It will be built not for the
moment but for the ages, and the detail
plans show it will be a thing with which
any graduate may be proud to have his
name associated.
THE COST,
Now you will ask what it will all cost.
The cost of these buildings, which are
intended as a real center for university
life,—the cost of this group of buildings
will be $750,000, of which $400,000 goes
for the auditorium and memorial vesti-
bule, and $300,000 for the dining room.
Whether we have it or not,—whether we
have this center for university life built
completely,—is for the alumni to decide.
The Princeton graduates, when they
completed a century and a half of Prince-
ton’s existence, raised a million and a
half of dollars. I do not believe it will
be probable that the Yale graduates,
when Yale has completed two centuries
of her existence, will raise less than two
million of dollars. :
$250,000 FOR REAL ESTATE.
Owing to the situation at New Haven
in the limits of the town, about $250,000
of this $400,000 contributed have been
spent for the. purchase of real estate.
That leaves $150,000 for beginning on
the building. We have in sight, without
having systematically begun the work of
developing the subscriptions—one hun-
dred thousand more, perhaps two hun-
dred and fifty thousand, toward the seven
hundred thousand needed.
Now Yale is not in the position of
begging money. Yale is strong in the
loyalty of her alumni, and hence she can
rely on them to do what is needed. As
far as we are concerned, we shall of
course not infringe on the University
funds, which are given for purposes of
instruction and maintenance. But if it
is desired that, in connection with the
development of Yale in the new century,
there shall be university buildings, we
look toward the alumni to see what can
be done. We do not stand in the posi-
tion of systematically asking money, and
yet we propose so to organize the matter
that one man who gives money will not
feel that the others are standing by to
see him do the work while they do not.
I suppose that a few weeks hence Mr.
Phillips, who is the only man whose
powers of addition we trust to compute
properly the sums that we hope to get,
will come out here and see about the
organization of committees and to see
just in what position we stand.
WHAT YALE MEN CAN DO.
Now our Yale men are of two kinds.
They either can give the money or they
can give the time to help us get it. I
hope that when he comes out, that the
men who have time to give rather than
money, will so codperate with him that
the money will come without the odium
of asking ourselves. For I think that
every one connected with the administra-
tion of Yale dislikes to ask a Yale gradu-
ate in such a way as would seem to be
compulsion upon him. I repeat it, we
trust in their loyalty. We do not want
money that is not given voluntarily and
enthusiastically; but I hope these com-
mittees will be formed of men who
know the ground, will give time to what
they deem at best to be disagreeable
work, will see that the ground is looked
over, and so that each man in giving
what he feels he fairly ought to will have
the knowledge that other people are
being asked to give the same thing and
not leave him to give alone.
And with regard to the plans for
these buildings already developed, for
the administration building which is to
be developed, and for the new buildings,
[I can assure you that they will be pretty -

systematic, wholly developed by archi-
tects whose hearts are in the work and
whose reputation is the best guarantee
of the character of their work,—build-
ings which will make a democratic meet-
ing place for Yale in the twentieth cen-
tury, and which will be a worthy home,
a place which will be to your descendents
what the old Yale has been to you.
Mr. Kerruish, 755, who followed
President Hadley, spoke of his interest
in the declaration of * Yale principles
made by the President. He said that
Cleveland sent more men to Yale than
any city outside of a radius of a hundred
miles of New Haven. He thought it
was bectuse New England had some-
thing to do with the founding of. the
city of Cleveland.
MR. MCBRIDE’S RESPONSE.
Mr. Ely then introduced Malcolm L.
McBride, 1900, in a very flattering sen-
tence. The Yale Captain said there was
a time when he looked upon a Senior
as about the biggest thing he could ever
hope to be and that now he would give
a good deal to be a Freshman. He
referred very feelingly to the support
the College had given to the football
team. particularly when it was defeated
in the middle of the season, and
described this as the thing that averted
a humiliating close of the season.
He then paid a tribute to the loyal
eraduates, of which Yale had a good
company. “Take Jim Rodgers,” he said,
“for example. He came down at the
first of the season and staid about a
week. He was a student at the time
at Cambridge, at the Harvard Law
School. A little later he came back
with all his law books. Someone asked
him how long he was going to. stay.
He replied that he had come to spend
the season. We needed him.” Mr. Mc-
Bride snoke of the other coaches, men-
tioning especially Mr. Rhodes of Cleve-
land, Mr: Hinkey and Mr. Bull. He
said that the team next year would have
an excellent leader in Gordon Brown,
and that the support of the College this
Fall would follow the team the entire
year. =
When Mr. McBride finished, Mr. A.
H. Harvey, ’93, jumped to his feet and
said that that section of the country had
produced three of Yale’s greatest foot-
ball cantains, Rhodes, Rodgers and Mc-
Bride. His call for a cheer for Malcolm
McBride was answered most enthusias-
tically, the song again following “For
He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.”
In introducing Mr. Abbott, the toast-
master, Mr. Ely, said it would hardly
do for a graduate to suggest to a Sopho-
more what to say. Mr. Abbott said that
Yale undergraduates were enthusias-
ically behind the new leader of Yale and
that as to athletics of Yale, the last Fall
had been one of the best of seasons,
because of the spirit which had been
shown.
MR. RODGERS SPEAKS.
The company insisted on hearing
something from Mr. Rodgers. He said
that some systematic training was neces-
sary and it was not sufficient simply to
bring up a team for the important games
of the close of the season. The Prince-
ton game showed there was plenty of
stuff that would not be discouraged, and
he regretted that anyone, looking back
at the game, tried to say that the result
would have been different if somebody
had acted differently at a given time.
Mr. Rodgers said that the cause of the
defeat was that a fine crowd of fighters
were not given the weapons to fight
with. No one can criticise a team that
had done what that team had accom-
plished. The favlt was with the
coaches. Some said the trouble was
that they had green material. He be-

did what it was told to do. He said
the football men understood what was
needed at Yale and must now work out
the problem of giving Yale players the
right kind of a Yale game. What Yale
had developed in the past, when she
led in the game of football, had all been
given to other colleges by men who had
gone out making a business of coaching.
Something new must be developed to
meet the present situation.
