 form the assembled graduates cheeret ! him generously, most of them seeing him then for the first time since he was inaugurated president of Yale President Hadley's address was as 1 follows:
 | Of all the pleasures and the duties which birthday brings with it, the most welcome duty and the most exal-
 ted pleasure Is found in the opportunity which it affords for seeing, united un- der one roof, the fellow members of a family who are often so far separated,
 On this two hundredth birthday of Yale
 university it Is our chief pride to have
 with us the representatives of that
 brotherhood of learning which knows
 no bounds of time or place, of profess
 sion or creed.
 It knows no bound of age, either
 among the hosts or among the guests.
 The Yale that welcomes you here in
 cludes in it's membership all parts of
 the collegiate body from the youngest
 student to the oldest professor. It in
 cludes all those who, coming here with
 out officially recognized connection
 with the university itself, bear to 1t
 such relationship that they partake in
 it's spirit and feel themselves sharers
 of its glories and its duties. Nor is 1t
 the living alone that welcomes you.
 Present with us in spirit are men who
 have recently gone from us, like Phelps
 and Dana and Whitney. Present is a
 long line of great dead who have devo-
 ted their services to Yale. and who,
 being dead, yet speak. Present are those givers of books who, two hun dred years ago, out of their poverty founded that college in the colony of Connecticut which to-day welcomes brothers younger and older to its anni- versary, Representatives of colleges whose birth we have watched and in whose growth we can claim an almost paternal interest stand here side by side with delegates from those institu- tions whether in the new world or in the old, which can point to longer past than ours, and with whose achievements the centuries have rung.
 Our brotherhood knows no bounds of place, no limits natural or artificial of university learning from the very first was it's cosmopoli- tan spirit. Whilestates and cities dwelt in self-centered isolation, the un- iversities of the middle ages estab- lished the first post office by which in- telligence could be interchanged and nations grow by one another's intellec- tual work. That community of thought which the members of the brotherhood of learning have thus pur- sued from the outset has been in recent lays helped beyond anticipation by hose modern inventions which have space, and have made it possible to have with us representa- ives not only from the north and the l south, from the St. Petersburg, from | Japan and from Australasia
 Our brotherhood knows no bounds of | The day is past when peo- | ,le thought of the learned professions |
 IS something set apart from all others, | he property of privileged few l Opinions may differ as to the achieve { nents of democracy; but none can fail l o value that growing democracy of | atters which makes of every calling earned and noble profession, when it | 5 pursued with the clearness of vision which is furnished by science or by his ory, and with the disinterested devo- ion to the public welfare which true earning inspires. We are proud to ave with us not only the theologian, | he jurist or the physician; not merely he historical Investigator or the scien- fife dlscoverer; but the men of every anne who by arms or by arts, in let CTS or in commerce, have contributed } bring all callings equally within the cope of university life.
 Nor does our brotherhood know any ound of creed. Even those institu- ons of learning which at some period I their history have had more or less sctarian character tend to grow as the -orld grows-making their tehology no ,nger a trammel but an inspiration nd welcoming as friends all who con 'ibute to that inspiration, whether un- CT the same forms or under others UT common religion, so fundamental nat we can all unite therein, teaches s broad lessons of reverence, of toler- nee, and of earnestness. Ours be the | ,verence of those who have learned | fence from the stars above and the raves beneath; ours the tolerance hich can "see a good in evil and a ,pe in ill-success;" ours the earnest ,ss which would waste no time In the scussion of differences of standpoint, 1t would unite us as leaders in the orld's great movement toward higher andards in science and in business, in fought and in life.
 At the close of his address Dr. Had , V introduced Professor Fisher dean ,
 the Divinity school, as the master of T remonies Large numbers of the old present remembered Profess f r Fisher from the time when they f ere in college and cheered and ap- auded him.
