 said that he was the czar of Russia. 1 But, said the one to whom he was
 talking, you just said you were the | emperor of Germany oh, that was | by another mother was the reply" Professor Roland of Johns Hopkins l university, Baltimore, Mir, was the next speaker. He said that his great-grand- father, his father and many members
 of his family had been graduates of Yale. He said that he had studied chemistry at Yale for "a few months
 twenty-five years ago i'm the Sheffield Scientific school He remembered how l much superior the Latin and Greek men
 of the college were considered to the scientific men. Now when he came back he found the scientific men receiving their degrees with the academic men. He was glad to see the two undergrad uate departments more closely united.
 He thought that it denoted the progress
 of Yale college when such honors were
 paid to science, as well as to other sub
 jects.
 Clifford Pinchot of the class of 1889
 was then introduced by President
 Dwight as one who had given very es-
 pecial attention to forestry. He said
 that President Dwight in speaking of
 him as forester had given him an op-
 portunity to say a word that he had
 very much desired to say He said
 that there was a great future before
 young men who were willing to deyote
 their time and attention to this science.
 There are practically no foresters in the

 a number of young men should go into
 1t. He thought Yale men should go
 into 1t first, as then they will shape the
 policy to be pursued In this branch of
 science in the United States. In speak
 ing more especially of Yale he said that
 'S9 was the last of a long series of class
 es which had been governed by exactly
 the same conditions. When they had
 seen the great changes which had come
 about in the last six years they were at
 first afraid that it was going to affect
 the democratic spirit of Yale in Ia dis
 astrous manner. But they had been
 glad to find that 1t was still unimpair-
 ed.
 Thomas Thacher of the class of 1871,
 who has been one of the prime movers In the Yale alumni university fund, was them introduced by President Dwight. He said that $40O00 had been raised in four years, an average of S10,000 per year, and he did not mean that it should ever be any less. And only 900 out of 5000 living graduates had so far con- to the fund He suggested that if there really was going to be no game with Harvard next fall the graduates spend the money they would otherwise spend on the game to help this fund. He then read letter from a graduate of 'S9 in which 1t said that so long as the Yale faculty refused to do away with football brutalities he would rath- l CT give to excavations at Athens than | to the establishment of a Roman amphl- I theater. Mir. Thacher went on to say l that he considered this a mere excuse. | and he did not believe that the graduate 1 of '39 had ever given anything to exca- at Athens, and he hoped that | there would not be many who would | try to seek excuses for not giving to | Yale. He said that he thought the non | in athletics by the Yale | faculty in comparison with the perform ance of "a faculty of some college some where up near Boston met with the un- qualified approval of the majority of the alumni of Yale He then said that no man who comes to Yale pays over half If the expense of his education. Every cent which is given to the alumni fund n small sums goes to help the univer- ,ity at the time at which 1t is given.
 The next speech was made by the Honorable Henry c. Robinson, of Hart ord. "There are two words" he said, to which l can never fail to respond Connecticut and Yale do not agree with Mir Mason who wants to shut out he official heads of the state of Con lecticut from membership in the cor )oration" He then referred to the towns which the corporation and facul- V had worn Pretty as we may look n these gowns" he sald, "let us forget hat such men as Henry Ward Beech r and Wendell Phillips needed no owns to make their words forclbe" continuing he said: AS I was coming own here in the cars to-day I read an ccount of an anniversary of the Har- ard law school in a Boston paper, and l the editorial 1t said that not only II the great lawyers of the country ut of the world, were present at the This editorial reminded he f Boston young lady that I heard f once who was found sitting on iece of ice, and when asked why she yas doing 1t she replied, ITO keep the ,e from melting"
 Judge Henry E, Rowland of New ork was the next speaker. He thought ( lere was a possibility that he might I ne day be a D,D., but he feared that ( e never could get a degree of LID. nless he went down to Fisk university S ke Dr. Mason and got it from the ' 1lored brethren. Continuing, he said: I One word about our dearest foe and veetest friend. It is source of great ( ,gret that such an unpleasantness I lould have arisen. If 1t be true that C st Tuesday we for the last time met 1 | arvard on the baseball field and next I riday shall be the last contest in l. iendly rivalry on the water we can el sure to ourselves that the only ing that caused us to rise was an 1parent injustice. We can only say, Depart in peace, or as one great man s ice said to a lady who had formed un- ,ly alliances, Go and sin no more ldge Howland thought that the hall q ould be made larger so there could more ladies galleries and in his marks he made several very compli- entary allusions to "the fairer part
