Prof. Ii. X. Trask must have felt, as he
looked-very happy, when the large class
of twenty-nine graduates, who had sue
cessfully passed their examinations,
| marched upon the stage, keeping step to
| Sousa's march, Manhattan Beach," by
| the orchestra.
| Prayer was offered by Rev. S. w.
| Beach, and the regular program was then
formally begun.
| There were to be fourteen addresses,
| three of which are outside of the usual
cut and dried addresses OF college pres-
dents and sober D. DIS, and they We're
| by men who would entertain the atten-
| ton of the large audience with interest
| additional to that felt in the addresses of
the distinguished schoolmen whose
| names were ON the program.
, These We're the addresses of Prof.
Trask, which was expected to be histor
| ical of the school, and the addresses of
Judge Hoagland and Col. Potter.
DR.. +. Benjamin Andrews, of Brown
University, of Providence, r. |. made
| the first address.
President Andrews address was acare-
fully prepared manuscript, and contained
many slap at the evils plaguing society
as it exists to-day. The worship of mann
mon was held up as monstrous thing to
be stunned, by the student as well as
others, as being degrading to the true OBJ
jects of higher education
He did not insist that money getting
was an evil in itself, but the mercenary
greed was to be avoided; honest and hon
orable pursuit of fame was not to be con-
demned, but the education of usefulness
to humanity was that which was to be
sought after.
After the close of Dr. Andrews address
and albright waltz by the orchestra, the

Prot. Trask began his remarks with re-
ferring to what men had done to express
a just appreciation of education. In all
ages men had given the best years of their
lives and made great sacrifices to obtain
education. He would not dwell ON the
philosophy of this, nor ON the philosophy
of history. He said he would give some
statements of historical facts transplring
during the last twenty-five years.
When he came to Bridgeton twenty
five years ago, he found the South Jersey
Institute i'll course of erection, he did not
think then to make this his future home,
but he did SO.
Then he Went on to state what this in
stitution has grown to be, and referred to
where the students who have graduated
here may now be found, When the
school was started ii was with four teach
