of Minnesota from his long residence in Mill

in the chapel Of the university on Monday
morning. The bishop was greeted with
hearty round of applause as he entered the
chapel with DR.. Bridgman, ana later, as his
smooth, ever weilroLnded tones flied the
auditorium, it was evident from the profound
silence ana attention OF the students that he
WAS q faVOriIe with them. He reverted TO
his connection with the university. having
been during his eight years of residence in
Minnesota president of the board of trustees,
and said that to il, the university. he had
given more time, thought attention and
money than to any other one thing outside
the official duties of his church Office. 1t

to Minnesota, to dedicate the first Hamline
university building upon its present site:
Two years laler this was burned, and he said
that as he stood watching the flames deyour
the result of SO many years labor, he had
thought that perhaps. " hat then seemed the
greatest calamity, might prove the greatest
blessing; and so IL mas proven. Hamline to-
day was i'll better condition in every way than
would have been possible had that seeming
misfortune never occurred. He spoke at
some length regarding his interest in educa-
tional matters. the influence of chris
tian education upon the high civ
ilization of the world, and said
that from the rank and Tile of our Christian
colleges came the recruits for the army
which should carry on the world warfare
between good and evil. The bishop regretted
his maUiliLy TO remain longer at Hamline.

possible. He closed his speech In a few we'll
chosen words ana took his leave, carrying
with him the love and good will of every Stu
dent of Hamline university.
