Rev Haven. Conn.,. Oct. 24.-Repre-
sentatives of many peoples and creeds.
OF the learned professions and of the
industries and literatures were HON
ored by Yale university Wednesday and
in turn paid homage to the great nsti-
tuition of learning, which is celebrat-
ing the completion of the second CEN
fury of it's existence, as they marched
behind Yale's colors, delegates to the
great festival, and participated in the
closing functions of the celebration.
AS for New Haven, fairly bristling with
pride in its possession of Yale, the
city was literally Yale-mad. Schools,
factories and stores were closed,
while the townspeople thronged the
streets to do honor to the president of
the United States, the guest of the
university.
A finer October day could not well be
imagined, and all remarked the fact
that scarcely cloud had hidden the
sun by day and the moon by night dur
ing the four days which have been Civ
en- over to the stupendous celebration.
{ The closing exercises of the bicen-
tennial were officially commemorative.
They were held in the Hyperion thea
20, N1occioo1
tive poem and a Greek festival hymn,
both composed for the occasion, a COM
memorative address by David J. Brew
er, associate justice of the United
States supreme court, and finally the
clothing with the hoods of the honor
ary degrees of great men, list of whom
affords roster of monumental fame,
these constituted the days exercises.
With the dedication of another hall,
and farewell reception by the presi-
dent of the unworthy, the bicentenni-
al of Yale closed.
President Roosevelt Arrives.
1. President Roosevelt and party ar
rived on time at $3.50 after an hours
run from Pennington, where con-
siderable number of people had gath
cred to bid him good-by.
Many people were at the stations
along the way to NewHaven and great
deal of cheering was heard as the pres
ident's train rushed through.
In addition to the regular party the
president was accompanied on the
trip by Gov. Mclean, Commander and
Mrs. Cowles, Miss Alice Roosevelt, his
daughter, Miss Helen Roosevelt, his
niece, and Mrs. w. Bayard Cutting, of
New York.
Upon arrival at the campus, the
president was conducted to the Battell
chapel and after brief rest there was
escorted to his place in the academic
procession of learned doctors, mas
tiers of arts, distinguished guests of
the university and graduates. There
were thousands in the line, all dressed
in academic gowns, many of which
were faced with colors indicative of
their wearer's degrees. Way for the
procession through the crowds which
filed the street near the campus was
made by the military escort.
At 1890 the parade moved slowly to-
ward the Hyperion theater, where the
commemoration exercises were to be
held.
