sincerity of the religious interest of the stu
dents and paid glowing tribute to Gen.
Thomas III. Hubbard. Hon. VIM. p. Frye was
the next speaker and received an old time ova-
tion His remarks throughout were frequently
interrupted with loud applause. In c0nclud-

er institutions of learning are turning out to
the world every year thousands and tens of
thousands and twenties of thousands of tho
roughly equipped men to go out into the bat
tie for the Republic-the greatest battle that
has ever been fought, requiring more
more faith than to go into battle of men
with muskets. And who can measure the
power of one thoroughly equipped young
men going out into Clife with the full,
fixed determination to achieve honor for
himself, for his country and his God? There
is no limit to his influence and his power and
if the young men who are educated in this
Republic of ours who are going out every
year into life, will remember that this
Republic is their mother that
this Republic is their father, the Republic
should be next to their God with them, for
the good it does to the American people and
the people who came to rest under it In
peace and quiet; If they only remember that
and to be brave and true and faithful and
earnest, under God, this Republic shall live
forever and forever" lApplause.]
