CURRICULUM REFORM.
“To turn from that which is by some
regarded as the object of college work—
I have to say that the progress in matters
of instruction has not been what we
could wish. There is a lack of codrdina-
tion of studies and a lack of adaptation
of courses to the needs of American
life. I don’t know what the Faculty is
going to do any more than you knew
what it was going to do when you went
before it; but I believe you will be as
well satisfied with Wright and Chitten-
den as with McBride and Rodgers, and
we shall strive to put everything into
harmonious relations to the school life
that goes before and the world life that
comes after and to have this reform in
effect at the time of the bi-centennial.
I do not have great sympathy with
the view that the college course should
be a preparation of students for the pro-
fessional or business life. I hold rather
that it should codperate with the factory |
and office life that is to follow, and
teach those things which would not be
learned in the factory or office, so as to
make a man big enough to see things
outside his professional rut; and that it
should prepare him to understand and
use what he learns in factory and office,
so that when the chance for progress.
shall come, he shall be the man to take ©
the lead.
CARRYING OUT OF: THE PLANS.
“Now for the celebration of the first
year of Yale’s third century. It is to be
commemorated by great additions to our
plant. We are working for interior
quadrangles. Student life on the in-
terior is a good deal healthier and better
—and provokes less conflict with the
police—than student life on the exterior.
With reference to finances the President
gave the same figures as at Cleve-
land and added: “If we don’t get
all of the money needed we _ shall
build only in part, but build absolutely
well, so that the structures can stand
serviceable for ten centuries. I am glad
to say that Dr. Harper has consented to
serve on the Chicago bi-centennial com-
mittee, and that is worth at least $300,000
for us.
‘In the carrying out of our plans,
you may be sure of two things: first,
there will be no infringement upon the
funds set aside for studies, and second,
we shall build for the ages. No one
man can enter upon such a work with-
out the help of a body of men behind
him possessing a spirit commensurate
with the task. We have a hard but
glorious task and it is for you and me
together to enter upon this work of a
new century, hallowed by a devotion of
the past that ‘calls on us to make Yale
an institution for which we can live
and die and which, in the Providence
of God’s will, will be a great factor in
an elevation of America and all man-
ind.”
