 One of the most interesting addresses was that of W. J. Moulton on "An Un- realized Ideal in Journalism."
 Of all the factors, he said, which enter into the formation of public opinion the newspaper was the most powerful. News itself is not mere passive reflection, but the most active of creative agencies. The way it is given is no less important. The newspaper reaches people who are not of the educated sort, a large class who never reach the high school or even grammar grade. Millions find their university sole ly in the newspaper.
 "Now, in view of this, recall how the newspapers utterly fail to represent the Christian citizen of our land. What is to be done-print Christian daily newsps- per? Yes. One not filled with scripture quotations and religious phraseology, how ever. l mean paper which should con tain much the same catalogue of events as is found in any daily paper. It should not fail to deal with the crimes of society, but would do this in way to rouse men to .ac- tion by the sense of their enormity, and not cause them to gloat over them.
 ''The editor of this ideal journal would always have ready at hand a measuring rod for all issues. He would then not at all resemble that Ishmselite of journalism, the SO called independent editor. Nor would he hold with MT. Dana that as a creature of the day the newspaper is bound by no chain of logical consistency to an other issue. No more would his senti- ments resemble those of Mr. Bowles, who said: The Springfield Republican Is one thing and Sam Bowles is another' Our ideal journal will have an editor whose whole heart and soul are in his work, and journalism should be 8 profession for which men are trained for the most sacred of life's callings."
 After the speaking was finished Pro. lessor Fisher of the divinity school spoke few parting words to the graduating class, after which the class sang thei1 parting ode by Bert Francis Case ot Granby, Conn.,, who has made quite g reputation for writing while in the school It is as follows:
 The day has come, the parting word, Unwelcome long, must now be said, We speak it and the heart is stirred,
 
 The oar that flashes in the sun, Formed it's new glory in the wave; And parting words were scarce begun | Ere joy has risen from his grave. For though we dwell in lands apart, And stand no longer face to face, Forever are we heart and heart Beyond all change of time and place. Then turn we toward the glorious bay, Whose rising sun no skies toretell, We work and sing as we may
 One is that doeth all things well. The ode was an innovation for the theo | logical school. Heretofore the academic | men have been the only ones at Yale tt have parting ode.
