Presence err. y. Gleason, Doctor or Peiitics.
For two hours last night Carnegie Hall was
Columbia University. Tho graduating class OF
1897 mustered In full force to got tho diplomas
which commission It In Latin, which IL doesn't
In the least understand, to go forth and con-
Quer the world, and besides the graduates there
were various older A. BIS. b. SIS, and Phi. BIS
who had come to got their post graduate de-
grocs. Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee Of Washing
ton was the recipient of the highest honor Of tho
occasion. the degree Of Ill. d. being conferred
upon him.
Tho exercises opened with the marching Of tho
faculty, trustees. and distinguished guests TO
their places on the stage, while tho graduating
class rose from their places in the front rows of
the orchestra seats. After music by the Ameri-
can Symphony Orchestra the Rev. Q. r. Dufie,
Chaplain Emeritus Of tho university. offered q
prayer. President Low then made the address
to the graduating class. He said In part:
Tho revolving seasons have brought us once
moro to one Of those commencement that arc at
once q beginning and an ending. For some Of
you It Is the end of the period Of preparation for
| your ifowork and the beginning Of tho respon-
sible activities Of life; for others 1t 10 the end of
one epoch Of study and tho introduction TO In
tcllectual work OF . different character. I I'M
reminded that II this occasion La q beginning and
an ending in the lives Of those who graduate to-
night, 30 It marks q similar epoch In tho history
Of the university. For forty years Columbia has
been merged In the city 10 completely that 1t has
had, in the mind of tho people, almost no iden-
tity. It's great educational functions have been
held In opera houses and in music halls. where
1t has taken Its turn with the thousand other
claimants for popular consideration. as they
have followed one another night after night In
the life of the great city.
1T cannot but BIO q cause Of rejoicing to us all
that after this year Columbia may hope to con-
duct its great functions at its own home, and in
an atmosphere born Of academic surroundings
and academic traditions. Happy are the classes
that are to receive tho coveted diploma under
such auspices. And yet. graduates Of OF, you and
I,who have received our degrees from alma mater
In opera houses and in music halls, are moro
fortunate than those who are to follow us,
unless these also shall learn what you and I
have learned, as I trust, from the necessities
OF our situation, that our college and univer-
sity is not a place apart where men are trained
for an imaginary life in an imaginary world. but
that 1t is q part of the actual everyday life Of
this cosmopolitan city. The great city can teach
something that no university by itself can alto
gether impart; q vivid sense of the largeness OF
human brotherhood. a vivid sense Of mans IN
creasing obligation to man, a vivid sense OF our
absolute dependence upon one another"
There was moro music, and then President
Low again rose and announced the awards of
the price and fellowships as follows;
