proudeSt Don Oh OxIord. IL is q sTea
thing to be a real thinker. 1t is
great thing to plant your principle
which have made character into heart
where they will be cherished. IN Thu
thought the teachers of all grades car
rest content. And mother Yale as sh'
calls the roll of her sons who are
worthy OF her love, will not omit
single one, however humble, If only d
has done what he could"
The second and last address OF the
day was delivered by Daniel Colt Gil
man, LII. D., Yale so, president oil
Johns Hopkins University. He was in
troduced by Thomas Maynesford
Lounsbury. Lid. Ii. D., professor OIL
English in the Sheffield Scientific
School. He treated of the relation OF
Yale University to letters and science.
The address carried a long list OF
names of Yale men (omitting, however,
praise of any living mem who have
been more or less prominently identl-
fed with both these spheres or enort.
Prof. G.lmans endeavor, as stated by
himself, 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 IN
fluence of the school in which we nave
been trained, and may thus appreciate
it's benefits more fully than ever be-
fore"
"The process" said Prof Gilman,
"has been that OF evolution, not reVo-
luton; unfolding, not cataclysmie;
growth. not manufacture; heredity and
environment the controlling factors"
OF Yale's wise and liberal intellec-
tual heredity, Prof. Gilman said:
New England brought from old
England the customs, the studies, the
graduates of Oxford and Cambridge,
not those of Scotland, or France, or
Germany. The exotic germs were nur-
tured by Harvard for more than sixty
years before the times were ripe for
a second college in this region. Yale
has never ceased to be grateful for this
noble ancestry, nor broken the chain
of historic continuity. Yale does not
forget that an honorable pedigree is its
priceless possession"
Prof. Gilman divided his description
of the life of Yale into two periods,
corresponding with the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries of the calendar.
In the first he said religion and law
were the dominant concerns Of patriot
and sage; and such words as science
and letters were not in use in their yo-
cabulary The business of the college
in the first period was to train two sets
of leaders. those who world develop
and administer republican government
under new conditions; and those who
would be ministers of the word OF God
among Christian people, separated
from the establishment. The connec-
ton of the various geniuses who claim
ed Yale as their Alma Mater and with
literary and science and thought
achievement progressgwas Interestingly
traced.
Speaking of comparisons having been
made between the literary achieve
ments of the graduates of Harvard and
of Yale, and in fact that the long and
10 - btcto .of
had been contrasted with
the shorter and less famous list of New
Haven" Prof Gilman said that the
yale training has tended to the de-
velopment Of strength rather than
grace
THE spirit of Yale" said the speak
er. in conclusion, "a mysterious and
subtle influence, is the spirit of the
hive, intelligence, order, industry obed-
fence, community. living for others not
for ones self, the greatest happiness
in the utmost service
