College. Bot what was ncabt by power Read 1t

power God had given TO any, that wa the measure OF
respor.ibility to the country. aud humanity. lie
would ask every graduate u faic to orlng hs 20 hi,

biz hearted patriotism Men living at the present err
possessed an unsqualed power for exerunG an infu-

of the great switches Of human destiny; and what

ielt IL ,cmOte ages for evil or good lie concluded
with earnest appeal to all TO labor for the right aud
for God.
Senator TRuMBuLL of Illinois, being observed in the
ball, vas loudly called for.
lie rose amid long continued applause, and said thu
be responded TO the call with unaffected duidence.
He had not be en- permitted to drink of the fountains OF
knowledge nj Yale or any sina institution aud could
not ther, fore feel the inspiration which animated 9th
trs Oh turning to the spot hallowed by 80 many cher
shed r.colections. He had, however, some personal

and grandfather bud been educated and further in
te,est in il as located in his native State. But be-
You'd all this, be felt pride in the College for the
good which it is doing for the country and the world
The influence Of the institution was not con-
6,ed to the ncfrr"w limits OF Connecticut.
Her grad uatts nrc found scattered over the whole
country ard are engaged in the West In Holding
those institutions which will control the mllli'ns Tho
will soon occupy tn. Valley Of the Mississippi Mere
Of them were wanted there. Nor was her influence
confined TO this country The ires Of liberty which
had been kndled in Europe were lighted by sparks
fro American hearts. One OF the most distinguished
Of English commanders, upon the eve OF great battle
| animated his soldiers by saying that after~ard it
would be matter of pride for each to say that he be-
lcpged to the army OF England So might it be
ground Of boosting TO every graduate OF this institution

| The Rev. DIR. BUsusILL was called upon to speak.
lie responded with much apparent reluctance, aud
sud that he had often been called upon On occasions
like tLis but had generally run away for he disiked
| to speak merely 10 please other people. What had
been said of the dfusentss Of the influence OF an us
tuition like this altogether true But it was not es-
sci a that thu should be graduate OF ale in every
district Of country that her influence might be there
| felt This influence was more subtle than was com
monty suppost d; it like gravity force invisible
| yet everywhere efcacisus. He had great respect
| Tor what are termed "sefeducated men,
but they were literally educatedmen 10 another sense
They bad by their own efforts acquired some portion
Of that knowledge which emanates from the higher In
sttutons Of learning ard is by them dnused through
the community. These men cid not often rise above
| tie submits which had been gained by others. They
fell into molds already formed and received as they
deserved credit for having placed themselves by the
side Of those who had enjoyed superior advantages
Tie gre at value of institutions of this sort is that they
EDUCATE the entire community and form BODY OF cult
waited men who are linked together and labor con.
jointly The reverend speaker concluded by saying
that he would not speak again ON such an occasion for
| the next fifty years.
| Brief remarks were made by AIr. f. PIERREpoSr Of
the class of 1887, by the Rev. A. L. ANDREWS, by
Mr.. WRIGHT Of the class of 1917, and by Nr. JAMES
| {. RICE Of the class of 1854.
The exercises were concluded by the singing Of the
| following hymn:
Beneath these sacred shades
Long severed hearts unite:
The temp ing Future fades,
The Past alone seems bright
Ger sultry cline
And stormy
Rings clear the tone
VI Mem ~ cnlme'
We come to tread once
The paths Of earlier days,
TO count our blessings DER,
And minge prayer and praise
For Mercy hand,
From skes of blue,
Hath linked anew
Each broken bald
We come, ere life departs,
Ere winging Death appears,
To Thong our joyous hearts
With dreams Ut SUMMER yearx
To meet once more
Where Pleasure spfaD2,
And arches rang
With songs of yore.
BOT an, not all arc here:
Some sleep meath funeral aowers,
Where falls the mourner's tear,
And weep the evening showers.
Yet, thankfully
Let every heart
Its love impurt
To Him high.
