posed to the primary idea Of Christianity
and civilization. The adherents of Islam
have not only placed themselves beyond the
limits of true progress, but are the pro-
fessed enemy of Christian enlightenment"
The speaker then made an analysis of
the moral and social system of the Otto
man empire, and stated that the ethical
teachings of the Koran, the Mahommedan
Bible and constitution are not entirely
false, certain code existing, bearing very
much resemblance to the Ten Command
ments of the Christians. Several essential
parts are wanting, and are replaced by
promises of allurirg pleasures, ccuched in
the graceful and howery language of the
orient. That part of the Koran which was
written before the hegira, the speaker
stated, Is rather consistent with the die
tates of reason.
The speaker gave elaborate descr,p-
ton of the customs of the Moslems, and
commented on the difficulty to understand
how a belief SO contradictory, SO inhar-
montouS and so destitute of means can
maintain such firm and lasting grasp on
man.
President Mckinley C0nfcrs Degrees.
The comforting of the degrees followed

ing webers "Aufforderung Zum Tanz"
The rector of the university, Rev. ]. Ravens
Richards, made the opening address, intro
ducing President Mckinley. He spoke OF
the pleasures and drawbacks of occasions
of this sort, but comforting degrees is al
ways an Office of pleasure and qualification
to both giver and receiver. This morning
the office was to be performed with more
than ordinary qualification, said he, be-
cause of the aid of the chief ma gistrate of
the nation, and this ELECTED long-continued
applause. DR.. Richards spoke of the per-
sonal greatness and magnetism of the
President, and thanked him for his attend
ancc. in view of the immense amount of
other public work he has to perform This
statement brought forth additional an
plause. and when Mr.. Mckinley stood I'D
to confer the honorary degrees, he was
given an ovation. The President and
Father Richards stood side by side, while

Mr.. O'Donoghue's Address.

Mr.. O'DOnoEhue's Address.
Daniel w. O'Donoghue of the District of
Columbia delivered the first address, the
bachelors grafton, on 'Islannism, An His
torcal Study" He traced the full history
of the Moslems, and in the opening sem
tence stated that in all ages there has ex-
listed on the eastern hemisphere perse-
vering conflict between the north and the
south-the north ever aggressive, and the
south defensive; the south ever having the
gifts of nature to tempt the invader, the
north ever having the mutitudes TO be
tempted by them.
The speaker told of the influences that had
acted on the Turkish character and OF the
beginning of the Mosiem religion, and
tlen went on to trace the history
of the new creed, and its extension
through the medium of the sword. He
spoke of the fall of Damascus and Jeru-
SALEM the overthrow of Egypt and the
capture of Alexandria,, with the destruction
of the treasure of treasures, the A!eXan-
drian library, founded by Ptolemy Phila-
delphus and restored by Cleopatra.
AN obstacle to civilization and progress
Of the nineteenth century, continued the
speaker after tracing the history or the
empire to the present time; IAN obstacle 10
Russia, wishing to get into the Mediter-
ranean; an obstacle to England ana france
in their passage to the east: an obstacle 10
Austria Germany and Italy, because OF
their relations to the rest Of Europe, there
is the Turk today, tolerated, aye, even at
times upheld. by the scheming and unprin-
cipled princes of Europe, who are oniy
waiting the opportunity of accomplishing
their selfish Inns and ambitious desires
"M.,ster's Grafton"
John K Broderick. A. B., of st. Louis
Mo-, followed with the masters Grafton
Little more than two centuries ago." said
he, in the Introductory paragraph, the
world believed that it had freed itself from
that barbaric deluge which pushed before
it the crescent, and left behind 1t death and
desoation. We cannot but shudder at the
recital of the atrocities that marked the
path of the Ottoman and Saracen, and We
are justly flied with Indignation when we
hear of Turkeys revived triumphs, or
rather we are appalled, at the prospects
that religion, a government and social
order, such as those which have succeeded
the institution of the early Christian CEN
turtles in the east, should be upheld and
flourish anew. For what are we to ex
pect of a nation into whose heart have
been instlled principles so directly OPP
