guage, 1875, both of which have had
 great influence upon linguistic study,
 and the latter of which was translated
 into five languages. To these should
 be added his work as the reviser of
 Webster, and as editor-in-chief of the 1 Century Dictionary, his many articles and reviews, and such tours de force as
 the French, German and English gram
 mars with readers and dictionaries
 Though he was not above medium
 height his presence was most impress
 i've. His hair and beard were like
 snow. His face was gentle and Win
 ming, and bore no trace of vanity; and
 yet it so reflected the power and mys-
 tery of his learning that no one could
 approach him without reverence. Af-
 ter all it is the personal element in such men as Silliman, and Whitney and Dana, which makes them great, for it never suffers their science to become greater than they, but glorif1es their learning and renders 1t an inspiration to every student.
 There is no more illustrious instance of this transcendent power of person. ality in the history of Yale than Presi- dent Woolsey Before he had begun his special study of Greek, he had read both Law and Divinity. After the years of his Hellenic studies in Europe came the fifteen years of his professor ship. during which he taught such men as Whitney and Hadley There Is something especially appropriate in Woolsey's devotion in Hellenism, war ranted as it was by a mind so pre- else, adroit, and vigorous, temper so even, a nature so refined and pure and gentle. He was the man who could find and assimilate the strength of Greek culture and illustrate 1t in his own character for modern world. He was the man necessary to his country in those crude and uncertain decades of the forties and fifties. Yale men of that time have canonized him, and rightly, for to them he has been through all the years, a light shining in darkness. They often recall the face with the clear-cut lines, the ten der mouth the full, high brow, the dark penetrating eyes, more searching than mans own conscience, yet emil nently kind. In 1S46 he began his twenty-five years service as president, and much might be said of his suc- cess in managing the institutions ma terial interests; 1t was indeed great. But his success in the making of men was rarer and nobler.
 No simple monument of stone and ! mortar is an adequate memorial of these men. They have themselves reared better, not only in the making of Yale university, whose culture they have enriched and deepened but in the generation of teachers and men which | they have raised up to serve the world 1 both here at Yale and throughout the | land.

BICENTENN1AL DECORATIONS.
Brilliant display at the Hirsh Stores
 This Week.

Brilliant display at the Hirsh Stores This Week. <. The corner of Church and Crowr
 streets had a particular magnetism
 yesterday and in fact ever since last
 Friday. The decorations of the Hirsh
 stores were original in the extreme. A
 llfelike painting of President Roose-
 welt in rough rider costume looked
 down upon the multitude. The in-
 scription across the picture, "The Man of Deeds Not Words" elicited general 1 comment and enthusiasm among the army of admirers of the nations chief. The entire corner was literally covered with the national colors and illuminat- ed with strings of electric ligats. IT the corner window a splendid ctayon photo of President Hadley was shown, surrounded by the colors of Yale in various forms, noticeably a novelty in d Yale bicentennial scarf.
 The immense front windows on Church street were arranged in a man. ner both novel and artistic. Instead of t"O o9NdA AOAAArS oiiu A'AldhCS HoON -o' display, gilt furniture and Martin De Vernis tables served as supports for the very high class clothing shown.
 Apparently the Hirsh Brothers con sider no merchandise too good for their New Haven store, as they showed gar ments at $4750. $3S50 and even an overcoat at s72.50. This latter garment was designated as a "Montagnac" It has silky appearance and is finished with a velvet edge and of course silk lined throughout.
 But the magnet that drew general attention to the center of the display was the 'Bicentennial Fashion Plate" mounted on Yale blue back. On an other page of this mornings Courier a fac simile appears. It will be readily noticeable what attracted the peoples attention. The four gentlemen in the center of the picture are of course rec ognized at a glance as President Roose- welt. President Hadley. Governor Me Lean and Mayor studley. And the other seven gentlemen are just as cas- fly distinguished, as they are well known figures in New Haven, with the historical Green as a back ground, the picture is certainly interesting and timely and is a splendid souvenir of one O. the greatest events known in New Haven. An important feature of the fashion plate is that 1t is the first one of its kind published outside of London, Paris and New York by a re- tail firm, and designed, drawn and en- graved in New Haven under the Der sonal direction of Sig Hirsh.
 The Courier takes great pleasure in commenting in detail on this feature of the bicentennial, as 1t believes in encouraging all efforts of enterprise that bring credit to New Haven.

GRAND BONFIRE ON CAMPUS.
Freshmen Gather Wood-Sophomor
 Hat Stolen by Freshman

Freshmen Gather Wood-Sophomor s
 Hat Stolen by Freshman
 To the Editor of theAJournal and Courier:
 On Monday night after the parade had returned to, the campus the call was sounded: aGet some wood fresh- mem" The freshies we're nothing loath to comply with a request so fas- cinating and it was not long before barrels, boxes, fables, and big logs of wood began to make their appearance. The freshmen made burly appearance as they made their way through the crowd in the Rough Rider costumes and placed their contributions on the bonfire which soon assumed gigantic proportions.
 The flames rose higher and higher, and finally having melted an electric wire caused 1t to part and fall among the crowd The wire was alive. but fortunately no injury was done by 1t. It was not long before the police made their appearance. and endeavored to put an end to the proceedings but the freshies were too much for them, and while they were engaged in stopping the band from depositing its burden another would carry forward it's tribute and before the "cops" could get the bearers they were shielded by a cheer ing throng.
 After the interest of the fire had died down the parties separated to critieise the affair It was decided admiral ble. While a band of sophomores were thus engaged anj, two of them, to the amusement of the rest, were wrestling a husky freshman, making his way to their midst. seized the hat from the head of one and then with whoop broke through the encircling crowd of sophomores, and was away down the campus, as fleet as a deer. With shout of rage and summons for other sophomores to follow the entire band of twenty or more started in pursuit of the daring freshman. He was too good for them, and after a chase of a few blocks through the streets they gave it up. One freshman has a souvenir we'll worth having, and one sophomore is pretty sore about it.

YALE BICENTENNIAL.

Great Men of Yale in the Nineteenth

 & The two hundred years of Yale's his Etory naturally fell into two welldefined z periods of about equal length The Neighteenth century saw the beginning X and rise of Yale college; with the nine- z teenth century and the administration NDf President Dwight began the first definite movements which have in the last hundred years transformed the col elege into a university. A legion of men have had their part in this trans formation but it is especially distin- guished by the genius of small group whose splendid achievements are with out question the greatest glory of Yale. And yet not one of them sought prom fnence for their own sake. On the other hand each would have preferred sto do his work in seclusion. Such, among others, were President Dwight the elder, Benjamin Silliman, Theodore Dwight Woolsey, James Dwight Dana. and William Dwight Whitney, and Through these men the traditions of SaIearning in science and literature at 3Ya1e have been founded, cherished, and Transmitted to his present generation. One who reads Silliman's journal of the undergraduate days becomes ac- Squainted with a sweet sympathetic young fellow, inclined to take himself rather seriously, yet full of high spirits, and able to enjoy himself in many ways.

PRESIDENT STEALS A MARCH.

Left Town at 11:30 O'Clock Last Night
 as Unexpectedly as He Came.
 About half an hour before the time announced President Roosevelt left New Haven last night for Washington palace cars Lueania and Princeton.
 It was officially stated that the two cars would be attached to the Wash ington express leaving at 11:50 D. m. but for obvious reasons this informa- tion was given out to mislead the pub lie.
 There was a good sized crowd at the depot, but no demonstration took place other than a hearty cheer from the as- sembled sightseers,
 Chief Wrinn detailed Sergeant Will Hams and Patrolmen Egan. Flynn, Dip pold, and Turbert as a body guard to the president previous to his departure from the city. The police fulfilled their duty in a manner that has character izsd the work Of the New Haven po- lice during the entire celebration. and just before the train drew out of the yards President Roosevelt appeared on the platform of his car. He called Ser Reant Williams and the patrolmen to him and shaking the hand of each said that he wished to express his gratiflca- tion at the way the police had handled the great crowds during the time he was in New Haven. He said that he never saw the police In any city do better and he wished that Sergeant Williams would carry his congratula- tions to the chief
 It is fact that the crowds have been admirably taken care of during the three days of the celebration, and many people have spoken of it. Chief Wrinn has shown great ability in the way he has distributed and instructed his men. There have been no serious accidents, and everything was carried along in manner that should reflect great credit to the police department in New Ha- ven.
