 THE CLASS GRAFTON.
 The following is a brief synopsis of
 MT. c. G. Clarke's class oration deliv-
 cred In Battell chapel yesterday morn- ing:
 The world has need of us This is something We must believe It needs scholars, teachers and statesmen. We
 are laying aside our books, and it may
 seem strange to speak now of study;
 but I believe there is no greater need
 in this country to-day than of genuine
 students, men who know how to use
 books and love to do t. not because
 it will enable them to get q salary, but
 because they would knew the truth. There is genuine heroisn In those lives devoted to techinacl subjects, and if we are sincere we will recognize their ur- spoken claim to honor The earnest and heroic are needed everywhere.
 I was writing this oration on the day set apart for the decoration of our soldiers graves thought of the grad uating class of 1860 or '61, and then of the class of ,95 The fathers of some of us were no doubt in that earlier class. No appeal was needed to stir III llititl lhG 6RlIlL bl fAfeAlllOlFCtlA eilln summon them to deeds of heroism. There was no question where duty lay when the war was on and a nations honor could be purchased at the price of personal sacrifice. With us 1t Is different, but I would have you feel in some genuine way that our call is no less distinct and the nbtion's need no less imperative. We FHe rot asked to lay down our lives; we are asked to take them up. And, to live them in the fullness of positive conviction, amid the more subtle Inducements to cow ardice and sin, with q heart ever open to the larger appeals of country and of conscience, will require In us even more of the nobly heroic than was need ed to lead our fathers to Antietam, Get tysburg and Atlanta. We are the men, or ought to be, who are to say what our nation and state and city shall be. Nothing to do, nothing to aspire to, nothing to convince college men that the world Is in need of them, when evil 1 Is organized in our body polite, toler- | ated because of its power and fast be- ! coming tradition?
 To the Presidential attempting to ex- press my thoughts on enthusiasm have frequently been reminded of your own words to us on this same subject. 1 From the lectures which you gave to l Us in our freshman year to that ser mon of only a few weeks ago in which | you showed to us the power of heroic | In two other scholarly | lives which have been taken away | from Yale within the past year, you have continually made us feel your devotion to this quality. We have seen t also in the steadfast purpose of your 1wn life. It is my privilege, sir, in be- half of the class of 1895, to thank you for the kindness of your in- crest and the helpfulness of your ex- ample, We have not heard your earn ,st prayers without coming to believe n you, and to believe better in the Sod you prayed to- Once more thank 'ou.
 Classmates-In saying for you our inal farewell permit me to make use of tn illustration which some of you have .lready heard. A simple inscription on tablet of church in one of the larger stands of the New Hebrides reads, TO the memory of John Geddie. When he came here in 1S47 there were 10 Christians, when he left in 1871 there were no heathen." It is not to his work g a missionary to which I refer so 1uch as to the power of a single put- ose. Twenty-four years of service and his was it's tributel Not all of us will c given so many years We know 1t rom our own class history. Two of UT classmates have already passed 1 rithin the veil and as our secretary alls the roll from year to year there 1 ill be an increasing number whose ! pirit voices will answer Here" from | he beyond. Some of us will live them II and more, and I would have you arn from this simple inscription wha human life can do. Men of '95-250 of ,, B going out into the world! We must alieve in our ideals, must keep our 1thusiasm, and never betray the confi- ence that others are placing in us, q he old Greek meaning of enthusiasm tthe God in us" Keeping our hearts ,ft to all sorrow, loving with all loves wine capacity, let us be true to Yale | ue to ourselves, and true to that God i, ithin us.
 The class arose and remained stand T g while he addressed 1t.
