 Rev. Dr. T.. T. Munger offered prayer after the singing of patriotic hymns, and President Hadley followed with a short extemporaneous address He re- called the days at the beginning of the civil war, referring reminiscently to the conditions at Yale forty years ago, when, he said, instead of. spring games we saw squads drilling and instead of college songs we heard infantry com hands of men preparing for conflict. | Men were thinking as never before what their duty was. The nation was ] IS a unit Your fathers faced this | The war came and the men vent"
 President Hadley referred to the re- | ,eipt of the news of the first battle of | he war; the struggle at Great Bethel, | md paid tribute to Major Winthrop. | he distinguished Yale graduate and 1 writer, who fell early in the struggle. He drew from the civil war the lesson | hat the conflict showed that govern nent was no mere tissue of compromise md that government means devotion to Of the Yale men in the civil var Dr. Hadley said:
 '"The true spirit of true patriotism s the true spirit of Christianity. The % Yale men who went into the civil var and the 100 men who died in it roved their Christian training and heir willingness to follow in the foot teps of their fathers.
 After the civil war it seemed as if ,e could not rally from it. John Rus in said few years after it's close hat the American people were peo- le corrupt in business and politics, be- ause the war had washed all the salt ut of them But Rusllin was mis- aken. "The spirit which these men left has lstified the loss of their lives. Of na- ions it Is as with individuals, that rhosover shall lose his life for hrists sake and for the gospels shall nd it.
