the next speaker. He said that his class, 90
all classes, come to light anew the torch of |
loyalty to Yale. This has been done in va |
rious ways. Yale has boon contributing to |
this great republic for century educated,
brilliant men, capable of grasping the great |

face MS in the future. These problems will !
always find men who can solve them in the |
educated men of Yale. -

Rev. George Il. Griffin go mentioned sew
eral members of his class who have gained
distinction, among them Professor Marsh,
e. L. Richards and DR.. Francis Deladeld of

Senator Wolcott of Colorado responded for
the class of 10. He said he was glad to be

educator had 1t not been for the selfssacri6ce
of her professors. A university nursed in
the atmosphere of politics does not offer the
greatest Inducements. It ia national insti-
learning. We live in an eminently CONNER
eial period. We have agitators by the hum
dreds, but what the people need is men
In sympathy with the people who
can deal with our great national problems
not as theorists or dsmagogues. but in the
light of learning and enlightenment. The
great question Of labor must be solved by the
characters and enlightenment of those who
employ labor. Yale men are at the front at
every vital issue. Yale, in all her thoughts
and aspirations, is forever young. Much

of the academic course to three years, he said
