Stanley Woodward, ’55, was the toastmaster of the evening and the following is the toast list: “The University,” 7 Dr. Edward B. Reed, ’94. “Old Nassati Maj. J.

Wheaton, ’77. Dr. Reed’s address was an enthusiastic forecast of Yale under its new leader- ship, touching on the remodeling of the curriculum with the intention to so adapt the courses that a young man may complete his education in every branch at Yale without necessitating his going to any other institution. , Mr. Long spoke at length on the part that the college-bred man is playing and is more and more to play, in the development of the commercial in- terests of the country and in holding up standards of the highest business honor. He closed as follows: : “Tf before the soldier the figure of a great general is to loom up to render him brave and true, and before the men of science, truth is to shine from afar as the inspiring guide, why should not before the merchant who embarks in trade stand forth in proud vision the prosperous man of commerce, hon- ored near and far for his spotless in- tegrity and veracity, loved by his em- ployes for the care with which he looks to their interests, to make them grow in independence as he grows, diffusing blessings to the community in which he lives, in support of all that is the em- bodiment of true enterprise. ? “Has not the fashioning of such men been the crowning achievement of a great institution like Yale? Surely it was the sagacity of the merchant who first saw the admirable adaptation of this locality to the purposes of com- merce, surely it was his public spirit that reserved for us the ample provision of this valley; surely it was his in- telligence that planted on the shores of the Susquehanna many noble insti- tutions. And in view of the national prosperity which promotes this broad land, let us rejoice. “We have every reason to congratulate ourselves that Yale College has fulfilled its noblest function in the rearing of wise and magnanimous public-spirited men, of men, not merely equipped for specific pursuits, but accustomed to the most generous recognition of the re- sponsibilities resting upon man as man.” After the fegular toasts. “Ir.
