assembled here to-night to do honor
to the head of this great institution ;
and I know that one and all will join
me in proposing and drinking, stand-
ing, the health of our new, young Presi-
dent, who starts in the year 1900 under
such glorious auspices, Arthur Twin-
ing Hadley, the President of Yale.”
PRESIDENT HADLEY’S SPEECH.
President Hadley followed in the main
the lines of his former speeches.
“You have referred. sir, to* the work
of Yale in the establishment of other
colleges; you have referred in particu-
lar to the work of those that we know
in founding universities in this part of
the country.
movements within us, the time will come
when Yale, instead of seeing in other
colleges rivals, will be the head of a
great movement in which the growth of
every other college will help the growth
of Yale and in which our relations to
colleges and schools alike will be such
that we can be leaders in the education
of the country in a sense which would
be impossible if we pursued a policy of
educational isolation and confined our
work to our own domains and our own
students.” ,
Of the Yale feeling he found, he said:
“T am happy and proud to say that in
my whole trip throughout the Central
West, the loyalty of Yale has been mant-
fested beyond my highest hopes (pro-
longed cheers). It is in this that we
have the greatest promise for our future;
in this that we have the greatest as-
surance that Yale shall be a leader in
education, a place to which our rivals
and friends may look for life and for
help and cooperation. No words can
express the responsibility which rests
upon you as Yale men, as an essential
part of the University in the third cen-
tury of her existence, and no words
can express the assurance which I feel,
and which all of us feel, that you will
rise to the level of these responsibilities,
and that you, the heart and center of the
life of Yale, will give us your support,
your sympathy, your loyalty, to make
the Yale of the Twentieth Century the
mother of American, democratic, Chris-
tian men.”
Mr. Lathrop: Gentlemen, before the
orchestra begins to play or the singers
begin to sing, I know the President will
forgive the seeming familiarity if we
propose to him that heartfelt western
toast—‘What’s the matter with Had-
ley?” (The regular responses were
given very heartily by the entire assem-
bly, standing. )
CHANCELLOR SNOW.
The toastmaster said he would take
the liberty of making a little deviation
from the program and call upon Chan-
cellor Snow of the University of Kan-
sas, a graduate of Williams College,
a man who honor the occasion, being
the President of a great University him-
self, by coming here to do honor to the
President of Yale.
Chancellor Snow said that he felt h
had a kinship to Yale in that ten of his
ancestors had emigrated from England
and settled in Connecticut, nine of them
being of the first settlers of Norwich
and one of them being one of the first
settlets of the city of Harvard. Chan-
cellor Snow continued in part as fol-
lows: “I have been greatly interested
in hearing President Hadley unfold his
plans for the upbuilding of the greater
Yale, and I have been struck with the
contrast between the constituencies of

the two institutions over which we re-
spectively preside. President Hadley
comes to the alumni of the great Yale
University. All the men are friendly,
all men of wealth, and all respond with
loyal hearts and hands to the call for
aid in carrying out these plans for the
future enlargement of his University.
In our experience, a very different con-
stituency is presented. It is necessary
for us to go to the people, who must
be taxed to support the institution, and
in Kansas we have had to contend with
all sorts of opposition. I remember on
one occasion, when an appropriation of
$15,000 was asked for, it was cut to
$7,500. The citizens of Lawrence in-
vited the legislators immediately to visit
the city and gave them a banquet. They
went back to Topeka and restored the
full amount asked for.
“At a period somewhat later, after the
drought and the grasshoppers had de-
vastated the land, a member of the legis-
lature, who was himself a teacher, pro-
posed, seriously, to take the University
from the support of the State for the
sum of $1,500 per annum, and he would
find his own teachers. In a discussion
upon the annual appropriation for the
University, a member from Leaven-
worth, with an unpronounceable name,
objected to the first item in the bill—
‘for one Chancellor, $2.000.2 He arose
to state that he thought that item was
very extravagant; he thought that $500
was sufficient for a chandelier for that
University.
“But I will not dwell upon the theme
assigned me. I wish to join with you,
the alumni of the greater Yale, in ex-
tending my most cordial congratulations
that Yale has secured a President who
is broad enough to understand the need
of all classes of men for the highest
education, the first Yale President who
was not educated for the ministry, and
who is able to take a comprehensive
view of the intellectual demands of all
classes of our common country. I wish
him and the Yale University a develop-
ment in the Twentieth Century which
will surpass the fondest anticipations of
himself and his associates.”
A CLASSMATE OF THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. F. A: Leach, ’76, a classmate of
President Hadley, was next introduced,
and spoke with considerable feeling of
the qualities of the President as a young
man and of his deserved success. Mr.
Leach said that it was nearly thirty
years since first they met in the Hop-
kins Grammar School at New Haven.
He said that President Hadley had even
then started on that career as a writer
which had since made him so famous,
and that he treasured it as one of the
greatest honors of his student days that
he succeeded in being tied with him for
first place on graduation on composition
in the Hopkins Grammar School. But
that afterwards, in 1872, and in the Class
of Seventy-Six, ‘in the expressive but
somewhat paradoxical language of the
street,’ “I wasn’t in it; said’ Mr. Leach.
He said he was glad of President Had-
ley’s success for many reasons, among
them because their class would not now
have alone the honor of having pro-
duced Bob Cook, the famous oarsman,
but could claim also a President of Yale
and the mark of high scholarship and
great executive ability. Mr. Leach said
there was a good way, too, to account
for the President’s success, and it was
a rule of life that he wanted to impress
upon the young men, and that was, to
choose good ancestors.”
REASONS FOR CHOOSING YALE.
The toastmaster then introduced Mr.
W. B. Clarke, the father of one of
Yale’s seniors, who will graduate in
1900. Mr. Clarke spoke briefly of the
friends of Yale and said he knew not
where any of her enemies might be
found. The alumni were expected to
sing Yale’s praises, but people wondered
at the interest of men like himself, who
never attended Yale, but who were so
deeply interested in her best welfare.
President Hadley had a warm spot in
the hearts of these men, for, with all
his learning, he had also that much
prized gift, sound common sense and a
knowledge of practical affairs. “In de-
ciding to which Eastern college to send
our sons,” said Mr. Clarke, “we natur-
ally look about us for sample graduates.
In this city we have Yale men prominent
in every walk of life. The democratic
spirit of Yale has done much to endear
her to her friends, for there the sons
of rich and poor are closely associated,

Baseball President Resigns.
At a meeting of the University Base-
ball Association held last Wednesday
night, Jan. 17, Reuben C. Twichell,
President of the Association, handed in
his resignation to take effect at. once.
Mr. Twichell said it was necessary for
him to take the position of secretary to
his father, doing that work and _at-
tending College if possible. At Mr.
Twichell’s request the remaining officers
of the Association agreed to elect his
successor at their own discretion, and
after a short conference Frederick B.
Adams, 1900, Chairman of the Yale
News, was appointed. Mr. Adams ac-
cepted the Presidency.

Bethany Graduate Association
of Yale.
A number of the graduates of Bethany
College, Lindsborg, Kans., who are now
taking post-graduate courses at Yale,
were called together by Dr. Granville at
his house, Dec. 29, for the purpose of
organizing a Bethany College Graduate
Association of Yale University. Dr.
Granville appointed a committee with
Dr. Westlund as chairman, to prepare
all the preliminaries necessary for elect-
ing officers and completing the organiza-
tion. While it is the intention to take
good care of the social feature of the
Association, its main object will be to
encourage graduates of Bethany College
and other Western colleges to come to
Yale for post-graduate courses. It is
the intention to do this work in a syste-
matic manner, assigning to each member
some particular part of the work for
which he seems best suited. A great
deal of this kind of work has already
been done by instructors and graduates
at Yale, hailing from Bethany College,
with the result that of the Class of
Ninety-Nine, taking bachelors’ degrees
at Bethany College, thirty-three and one-
third per cent. are now at Yale pursuing
post-graduate courses, and none went to
any other university.
Of the Class of Ninety-Eight, twenty
per cent. are now here. As far as can
be learned, no other college sends any-
thing like as large a proportion of gradu-
ates to Yale. This association of gradu-
ates is certainly the first of its kind at
Yale, and probably the only one of its
kind in any American university.

Work on Hendrie Hall.
The work on Hendrie Hall, as the
“new front of the Yale Law School will
be known, has been recently taken up
after a delay of several months, caused
by the scarcity of iron for the girders
and supports; and will be pushed with
all possible speed to the end. The street
wall of grey granite has already risen
above the first story and the side walls
of red pressed brick are somewhat
higher. It is hoped to have the build-
ing about completed by Commencement
and ready for occupancy when College
opens next Fall.

Hawaiian Club Dinner.
The Hawaiian Club held its annual
dinner Wednesday evening, Jan 17, at
the Tontine Hotel. An invitation to
Hawaiian students now studying at
Harvard University and at Lawrence-
ville and Hotchkiss preparatory schools
brought 10 guests. The dinner was very
pleasant and profitable. The Yale
Hawaiian Club has at present six mem-
bers. Henry Pratt Judd, 1901, of Hono-
lulu, is President.
