rest contest. And Mother Yale, az she
calls the roll of her sons who are worthy
of her love, will not omit a single one
however humble, if only he has done
what he could.
The second and last address of the day
was delivered by Daniel Colt Gilman
LII. D., Yale so, president Of Johns Hop
kins university. He was ntroduced by
Thomas Maynesford Lounsbury, Phi. L.,
LII. D., professor of English of the Shelf
field scientific school He treated OH the
relation of Yale university to letters and
science
Yale's relationships with science and
literature were deliberately reviewed by
President Gilman. The address carried
long list of namss of Yale men (omit-
ting, however, praise of any living), who
have been more or less prominently ident-
flied with both these spheres of effort.
Prof; Gilnan's endeavor, as stated by
him, was to set forth the relations of
Yale to science and letters in such a
way that with historic insight you may
discover the tendency and the Influence
of the school in which we have been
trained and may thus appreciate its bene-
fits more fully than ever before.
The process said Prof. Gilman, ''has
been that of evolution not revolution;
unfolding, not cataclysmic; growth, not
manufacture; heredity and environment
the controlling factors"
Of Yale's wise and liberal intellectual
heredity, Prof. Gilman said:
New England brought from old Eng
land the customs, the studies the grad
yates of Oxford and Cambridge, not
those of Scotland or France or Germany.
The exotic germs were nurtured by HaT-
ward for more than sixty years before
the times We're ripe for second college
in this region. Yale has never ceased
to be grateful for this noble ancestry,
nor broken the chain of historic continu-
ity. Yale does not forget that an honor
able pedigree is its priceless possession.
Prof Gilman divided his description Of
the life of Yale into two periods, CORE
spending with the eighteenth and nine
teenth centuries of the present calendar.
I'm the first century, he said, "reli-
gion and law were the dominating con-
Germs of patriotic sages, and such words
as sciences and letters were not in use
in their vocabulary. Thus the use of the
college in the first period was to train
two sets of leaders, those to develop
and administer republican government
under new conditions and those who
would be ministers of the Word of God
among a Christian people, separated
from the rest of the world"
The connection of the various geniuses
WHO Claimed 4dlS as their anna LldIeT
with literary and scientific thought and
achievement and progress was interesting
ly traced by making comparisons between
literary achievements of the graduates of
Harvard and Yale, and the fact that a
long and brilliant list of historians and
poets of Cambridge had been contrasted
with the shorter and less famous list of
New Haven
Prof. Gilman said that the yale train
ing has tended to the development of
strength rather than grace"
THE spirit of Yale said the speaker,
in conclusion, "a mysterious and subtle
influence, is the spirit of the hive, intelli-
gence order, industry, obedience, commu-
nifty, living for others, not for ones self,
the greatest happiness in the utmost
service
IMPOSING SPECTACLE.
In a great amphitheater, bedecked blue
and illumined by long strings of orange
hued lanterns and Greek fire flaming and
smoking skyward from poles erected
about the campus, the sons of Yale wit

The campus celebration was part of

oval of seats occupied by the Yale men
was filed with a throng, of which ladies
formed the chief part.
The amphitheater was erected in the
center of the old campus, facing south

temporary stage for The amateur per-

the historic Yale fence by day and night;
the interior of students room; scenes
typical of things familiar to every grad
uate, and the finale, showing the stu
dents in chapel.
Between each of the scenes there were
familiar college songs by the student cho-
rus, in which all the thousands of grad
yates ranged about the amphitheater
heartily participated. Several bands
were stationed at the campus and at in
tervals added to the musical demonstra-
ton of the evening.
The "Boolo" song was given with JUNCTION

composer, of the class of 1901, known

baseball team for two years, rose from
his seat in response to numerous calls
from the amphitheater and personally led
the great chorus.
An even more impressive feature of an
impromptu nature was the reception ac-

closing chapel scene. Thousands of
