 are gathered together from all parts 0
 the land; and during the years of stud
 spent together they have an opportuni ty to learn each others characteristics to compare views, to exchange ideas
 When they finally leave for their re
 spective homes they are not only bette
 educated but they are in every sens
 of the word broader men. They al
 bear that stamp of vigorous and en
 frightened manhood acquired at Olc Yale, and they impress it upon their re
 spective communities. In this way tn
 whole country is, being educated by on'
 standard and you can recognize th
 Yale influence wherever you go. Won derful progress has been made with tht affairs of Yale in the recent past under the wise guidance of ex-President Dwight, and the fondest hope of all if that equally great progress will be made in the future under President
 Hadley He has the best wishes not
 only of the students and graduates, but
 of the city and nation: and all have
 confidence in both his ability and wis
 dom.
 How much is expressed by that part
 OI Itly IOdSl ale dl I1OiilC. u iliCois,
 that all the advantages of the great uni
 versity are placed at the very doors of
 New Haven citizens for the benefits of their sons. While other young men are separated from their homes and parents by hundreds of miles, during the most critical period of youth, while pursuing their studies, the young men of New Haven can acquire university educa- ton without being deprived of home comforts and influances and the watch- full care of their parents. How many parents and students all over this broad land wish that they could have "Yale at Home!" As graduate of Yale and a citizen of New Haven, my earnest hope is that both may continue to pros per in the future as they have in the past, and that there will always be har- mony of action and the best of feeling between the city and the university
 When in the course of his talk Mayor Driscoll referred to ex-President Dwight that gentleman was heartily cheered.
 In responding to the toast ''The Uni versity and Life of the People, Rev. Dr. Edwin S Lines, rector of St. Paurs church, made most able address. His LcAh WiS ilttI pClSSti WIlll Nll, anu lIC was frequently applauded.
 Congressman Charles A. Russell spoke to the toast "Yale and the Nation" In the course of his talk he said that the time was when Yale and the govern ment were not agreed on policy, but no such difference exists now The differ ances which have existed, every one knows who knows anything of Yale and it's institutions and of the United States and it's existences, were not differences between Yale and the nation in the loy- atty of one to the other.
 Yale has been the loyal, government | institution of the United States. That makes the nation love | Yale and the nation does love her bet ,er than Harvard. The common people | 'eel that whatever Yale's opinion on my line of policy, once a system is en- ,cted Yale is loyal and that feeling of he loyalty of Yale has spread all over he country from New England, trough the middle states, the west and he south, and will extend itself wher- 'ver the country's flag goes.
 JUDGE RORABACK'S SPEECH.
 Judge Roraback was next intro luced to speak to the toast. "Yale's lawyers and Judges" He spoke as blows:
 fir. President, and Gentlemen of the
 Chamber of Commerce.:
 I take this opportunity to thank you or the courtesies extended to me in he past; to thank you for the privilege being present upon this occasion, for n opportunity to show my interest in he great educational institution locat ill this city and to manifest my re- pect-yes more, my admira tion, for the ighly distinguished and honored guest this evening; and last, but not least all, for the privilege of meeting and reeting so many of the good men of our organization.
 I hesitated a little before consenting ) respond to the toast assigned to me. he habits of my present position are lcb as to make platform oratory ex- difficult. Not being a gradu te of Yale university, I felt that I ould be somewhat embarrassed in the roper presentation of the sentiments my toast. And again, gentlemen, moving of the great oratorical ability
