was a shake-up In New England col
 lege presidencies. He said: Some of
 us were new in the business. When 8
 man learns to ride wheel he usually
 does so after dark on side street,
 but when a man begins to ride college
 presidencies he must do so in the broad
 highways and in the glare of publicity"
 He spoke of the cooperation of col-
 leges nowadays and said that he
 thought that the motto on Harvard s
 seal "Chrsto ct Ecclesiae" would soon
 be translated ITO Heaven with Yale"
 In the course of his talk he intimated
 that Brown would drop Greek from the
 requirements for the A. B. course ! The next speaker was President
 Taylor of Vassar college, who was of-
 offered and refused the presidency of 1 Brown. pr. Taylor said that Vassar
 had done a good deal for Yale, not to
 mention President Hadey, and then
 the audience laughed. He said that | Vassar stood for the same ideals that Yale does. His remarks were most fe- 1 licitous, and were greeted with ap- 1 plause.
 Frederick H. Betts of New York, to whom Yale gave the degree of IL. D.. yesterday, was the next speaker. He spoke of the general progress of the world in the last thirty years, and thought that Yale had more than kept pace with this general trend. He thought that the progress of Yale de- manded the very best from all her sons. The last speaker was Dr. Walk er professor in the Hartford theologi ao1 e-a1n sor Fisher in the Yale divinity school. In introducing him President Hadley referred to the great service of Pro- lessor Fisher and said that the mantle of Elijah had fallen on Elisha. Dr. Walker when he arose to speak said that the mantle of Elijah was much too large for Elisha. He pledged his loyal ty to Yale and her president.
 President Hadley then said that he would offer for approval by the alumni cablegram which he proposed send ing to eXPresident Dwight who is in Europe. The cablegram is as follows: To Rev Timothy Dwight:
 The graduates of Yale assembled in Alumni hall send you their heartiest greetings and most affectionate re- membranes They regret you are not here to rejoice with us in announce ment of completion of fund necessary to construct memorial vestibule and au- ditorium. A. T. Hadley.
 The alumni after the cablegram was read cheered and applauded for several | minutes, and after the outburst had 1 subsided President Hadey said that he | took as the sense of the gathering that | his suggestion was approved,
 The cablegram was immediately dis patched.
 President Hadley then said that he intended to suggest to the corporation that the new building be called, not the auditorium but Woolsey hall from Theodore Dwight Woosey, "the great of the institution"
 James R. Sheffield 'S7, of New York, was then called upon to speak MT. Sheffield is chairmangof the graduates for the Bl-centennial cele- bration and gave full account of the plans for that affair."; He called upon all the alumni to co-operate in making 1t the success that it should be-
 The meeting closed by remarks by President Hadley who spoke of the gathering as the last one of the kind in Alumni hall He said we, havej been building for the future, and in I the new building there is the most glo- rious room in the new world This greater work means greater effort, hope that joy in the success oflthe en- terprise will not let grow lax interest In the endowment fund.
