The Drexel Institute Of Art Science and In
dastry was dedicated in Philadelphia yesterday
afternoon. The institute was built and en-
dowed by Anthony J. Drsxel, head Of the bank
ing firm Of Drexel Co., and it, scope and OBJ
jects a. outlined by him Il the extension and
| improvement of industrial education - means
| of opening better and wider avenues Of en-
| ployment to young men and women. The

The ceremonies were opened by an invoca-
ton BY Bishop Potter.
Mr.. Depew, who made the dedication ad.
dress, was in an aphoristic mood apparently.
| and here are some Of the thoughts he evolved:
Among the most enlightened people of Eu-
rope education il still privilege. In America
| 1t il q duty.
'Our time 10 full of hope for the optimist,
and also despair for the pessimist.
distinguished characters OF the past are pre-
sented through the lenses Of the years in heroic
proportions. 1t would not only be q sacrilege,
| Il would be . calamity, il modern criticism and
research stripped Warrington OF MS majesty,
Hamilton OF his genius. Jefferson OF his de-
mocracy, Jonathan Edwards Of his intellectual
superiority, or Daniel Webster OF his peerless
prominence, but for all practical uses of the
labyrinth and revolution through which we are
passing the worthies OF the past are az far from
Us as King Arthur and his knights OF the Round
Table, or William Tell with his arrow and his
apple.
The man who dies for a principle is a hero,
but he who starves rather than abandon the
metnods which fed his father Is fool.
Inc sTength OF our liberty has been that 1t
recognized individuals and not classes
Invention 10 the Frankenstein OF our indus
trial life. 1t is the soulless creation Of human
genins, and reentlessly pursues its purposes.
The tragedies OF the needle have filled the
ocean with tears and the land with sorrows.
IT Is SUI the reproach OF our times that
women receive less pay than men for the same
act -
