Union THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
Eighty Eighth Session Was Begun
Yesterday-Dr. EngIisb's Address.

The eighty-eighta session of the Union
Theological Seminary. and the second
since its removal to this city, was for
mally begun yesterday. and the event
was marked with simple though i'm
pressive exercises, held in the chapel at
4 o'clock.
About eighty students have matricu-
lated. and the session bids fair TO be one
of the most successful since the organl-
cation of the seminary. y large proper
ton Of the matriculates. together with a
goodly crowd of Presbyterlans from this
city. were present yesterday when the
opening exercises were held.
Rev. Dr. English presided, and first
conducted devotional exercises. lie then
delivered an address TO the students,
which was full of useful hints ana SOUND
practical advice. In the outset Dr. Eng
lish expressed the hope that all OF the
matriculates would prove themselves 10
be model students. and defined the model
student, as he conceived him TO be, a
man Intellectually, morally, and physi-
cally. Continuing along this line the Pro-
fessOr said that one great essential or a
model student was gentility. He asserted
that Christ was a gentleman, ana eN-
pressed the hope that all of the young
men who were to study for the ministry
at Union Seminary would prove them
selves such.
The three great essentials for the min
istry, the speaker continued were edu-
cation. grace ana coUliupll-StNSe. II was
the purpose of the seminary TO give its
students education. and the professors
would point them to the way of grace,
but neither the sem mary nor the pro-
fessors could give them common-sense.
and without that they need not expect
success.
discussing the duties of a student Dr.
English told the young men before him
that they were not expected TO evange-
lie the neighborhood of the seminary
hut were expected TO study there and thus
prepare themselves for the work or evan
gelization i'm the future. He further told
the Young men that they We're not eX-
pected to white on the benches of the
Classroom, nor TO inscribe the names OF
their best birls on the walls OF the dor
mitory building II was expected or them
that they would devote themselves To
the studies mapped out for them, and
thus enrich their minds.
After the address, which was listened
TO with the most rapt attention, the stu
dents met DR. English in one of the class
rooms and were there enrolled The
scholastic term begins this morning.
