PRETTY MENU CARD.
The menu card of the evening was a
carefully designed affair bearing on its
title page syn:bolical representation of
the four years Of college life. The final
page bore half tone of the arch erected
to P. Miller, who died at San Juan: a.
cut of Teddy Roosevelt, a cut Of Justice
Brewer of the supreme bench, and
others who were Yale men. After the
yiands were thoroughly discussed, c. s..
Jelly, the POSTMASTER introduced Presi-
dent Hadley with a few graceful words,
in which he referred to the new head Of
the college as an old Yale man, a grad
uate of rs and type of the best kind
of patriotic American citizenship
AS President Hadley rose to his feet
every man in the room rose to his feet,
and with the old song of college wears,
5"Here's to Good Old Yale" made the
Iafters ring. The college yell and three
cheers and a tiger completed the ova-
= tion.
President Hadley testified his great
appreciation of the honors and called to
mind "reminiscences of the last occasion
when he met the Northwestern alumni
OF n hon 1ot foY, @I0
; president was greeted with topical
song, the effusion of some son of Eli
on hearing of his accession to the head
of affairs, and thirteen verses were in
ficted before he was allowed to speak
PRESIDENT EADLEY'S TALK.
President Hadley did not attempt to
make a set address, but confined him
self to a straightforward talk to his fell
low alumni, in which he unfolded the
Mans for the celebration of Yale's BIZ
centennial in 1901 The two hundredth
year of the university will open in 1eSss
and, according to the plans outlined by
the president the university intends to
commemorate the bi-centennial with the
: erection of a number of new buildings.
These will be constructed not for the
benefit of any one department, but for
the use of the university in general, and
will include several of marked utility
The total cost will range above 81, ,OCo 900,
of which a large part has been sub
Scribed.
President Hadley outlined the many
plans which are in course of preparation
and with chart furnished by the archi-
tects pointed out the location of the new
buildings A large part of the money for
the work he stated, is being given by the
men whom Yale made able to win COM
Portable fortunes. The buildings will be
constructed without regard to cost and
Will be an enduring monument to the
second century of university life, planned
in the highest type of nineteenth century
architecture. After speaking at length
of the bi-centennial plans and other mat
ters of special interest to the alumni.
President Hadley cast his remarks in q
q more general field and spoke of Yale's
plans for the educational interests of the
land.
NATIONAL, ALWAYS.
"Yale has been national always" said
he, and we hope to make her in the
next ten years the same to the whole
United States that Harvard is to Eastern
Massachusetts. Our plans are being
widened and rearranged and If this can
be done, 1t means unbounded greatness
to the university. The power of such an
institution is not measured by the length
of the lists of her students, but by the
extent OF the country which looks to her
for guidance in educational matters. If
I'VE can put Yale in such position that
tthe whole country will look to her as the
standard of advancement, it viii be bet-
ter than as if she had thousand ad-
