thoughts of this day, when the unlver
slty goes from my care to that OF Pres
ident Hadley, is that the Sheffield Sci
entiflc school has been helped in som
measure by my efforts. | know as lit
tie about science as | do about law, blu
one Of the great privileges and blessing
of university life is that while we can
not know all we can have the pleasure
of association with those who are pos
Sessed of greater knowledge on various
subjects and we get grander and bet
ter view of life from such association
1 have learned to believe in science ant
law and to help them. | rejoice in the
prosperity of all departments and
think we have reason to rejoice in the
prosperity of the Scientific and Law
departments.
The divinity and medical departments
! marched up next in order and extin.
:, gushing their torches gave a rousine
| cheer for President Hadley, and Their
awaited in silence for the expected
speech.
He said: 81 am glad to see from
your banner that you accept a layman
| am also glad to see that the medica
contingent marks those very suspicious
looking bottles poison Your extin-
gushing your torches reminds me OF
what Prof. Fisher used to say to us
Turn off, but do not blow out the gas
| thank you very heartily for your well
come.'
Cheers We're given for Dwight, who
responded as follows: II am pleased to
be able to inform you gentlemen of the
! Divinity school that one of the most
| recent letters I received read, Timothy
Dwight, NJ d." Abiding to a large
paper book borne by several students
and labelled "Dwight's Theology" Pres
ident Dwight said: II will say in re-
never before have l seen 'Dwight's The
ology' as clearly as now"
President Hadley spoke as follows to
the New York alumni: ut is a great
pleasure to nset the alumni of Yale and
especially the alumni of New York.
am reminded Of the man who stammer-
ed who wanted to buy a New York
ticket. He was so slow in asking the
first time that he was brushed aside.
He came up again and asked for pas
sage to New York by freight because
he could not express himself. I feel
somewhat in that same position
Shortly after leaving President Had
ley's residence an unfortunate accident
happened in the ranks of the class of
1902 academic. A torch exploded,
throwing the blazing oil over William
A. Warner of that class, who comes
from Hartford. Mr.. Warner was badly
burned about the face and eyes, and
the New Haven hospital ambulance was
called and in it he was taken to that
hospital There it was found that his
eyes were badly injured. 1t was thought
possible, however, that his eyesight
could be saved. He is a son of Rev. G..
r. Warner, rector of st. Georges
church in Hartford
The line of march was from Trumbull
street to Whitney avenue, to Sachem
street, to Hillhouse avenue, to Grove
street, where Hon. Chauncey M. Depew,
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff of New
York and Judge William K. Townsend
stood upon the piazza of Judge Town
sends residence. The three gentlemen
were cheered by the students and Judge
Townsend was called upon by the law
school men to make speech. He, how
ever, introduced Mr.. Depew, who adj
dressed them briefly. Continuing, the
line marched to the campus, where a
big bonfire was built on the old gym
nasium lot at the corner of High and
Library streets.
During the parade posts surmounted
by balls of material soaked with kero-
sene had been set up all along the cam
pus driveway at intervals of about fif-
teen feet, These lit up the campus near
ly as light as day. The chemical engine
from No rs house, with force of fire
men, was stationed at the bonfire lot to
be ready in the event of sparks from
the bonfire igniting surrounding build
ings.
The police arrangements for the cele-
bration were very good. Captain
Brewer marched at the head of the
parade with sixteen men, three of them
mounted Two policemen were sta
toned in front of city hall and five
were on the campus ali during the |
evening There were stationed at |
President Hadley's residence a squad |
under command of Sergeant Doherty.
