 '1 congratulate you upon receiving to- day the honorary degree of Harvard Uni versity. the highest honor which America can bestow May the copies of the ex- amples of German art and German civil ization which transmit through you, be to the professors as well as to the young academians, an incentive throughout their lives and an inspiring example in the pursuit of German ideals, and in the striving for all that exalts and Is lasting.
 "WILLIAM."
 Major Higginson then personally led in cheer for Emperor William, and the meeting was over
 Prince Henry then visited the new arr chitectural building and the Hemenway gymnasium.
 The carriages were driven to the home of Professor Hugo Munsterberg. where Henry Putnam, chairman of the board of directors of the Germanic Museum. addressed the prince. In response Prince Henry said:
 Allow me in a few words to thank you for the consideration which you have shown me here, and to tell you that the United States have been closely watched from the other side during the last year We are aware of the mar velous industry which has brought your country to its position, and we ore alsa aware of the existence of the Germanic Museum Association, and his maJesl5', the German Emperor, my brother and sovereign, whom I have the honor to represent here, kept his eye on you He has ordered me to hand over to you these photographs of reproductions of monuments which are going to be re- produced in casts. The work, if I may say 1t, Is just in It's first stages The casts are now being made and 1t will be about four months before the Ger man Emperor is able to send them and put them in your N2nds. I now offer these to you, President Eliot, and he handed to President Eliot a large port folio of reproductions of German monu- ments and other German architecture. He then added: 'It is meant for the welfare of course of the nation as well as of the university" and this remark brought forth generous applause.
 President Eliot returned the university's thanks for the gift, and Prince Henry said:
 "I hope 1t will promote good feeling between the two nations"
 'It cannot do otherwise" replied Presi- dent Eliot, land the good feeling rests on common stock, on common motives and ideals and many of Nthe German ideals will doubtless be expressed in this collection in the works of art which your sovereign is going to exhibit here in Cambridge for centuries to come"
 After this, escorted by cavalry the prince was driven back to the Hotel Som erset.
 Banquet in Evening.
 Tho bpartiast arf oF ,-,aIoo,.. to Prince Henry was concentrated in the banquet at the Hotel Somerset this even- ing. After toasts to the President of the United States and to Emperor William of Germany, Prince Henry was introduced and spoke as follows:
 MT. Mayor and Gentlemen: In giving expression to my thanks for the cordiality Of the reception rendered me, beg to say that l shall endeavor to realize that am the guest of city, the predominant pride Of whose inhabitants I am informed makes them look upon 1t as the hub of the universe. Seriously speaking I should have considered my tour through this country incomplete without visit to the principal city in the common wealth which has played so important a part in the history of the United States and whose Influence is so great and far reaching A state which gave to literature Emerson, Hawthorne and Longfellow; to science such men as Agasassi and Tho reau, and to historical researches the ser vices of Bancroft, Motley and Prescott, must certainly be reckoned with an i'm portant factor in the progress and deyel- opment of the whole lana.
 It was in and about your state that was produced an era which witnessed the growth of nation and a standard of universal patriotism very rarely equalled. In some respects my visit is of particular interest to me. I seem to stand here at the cradle, as 1t were, of American civilization Let it be hoped also that the bonds of friendship which for so many years have united our two peoples may still further be strengthened by mutual rivalry in the fields of literature, art ana science. Should this be the result of my visit to your friendly and hospital shores. VIII nave gladly put up with having submitted to the simultaneous interviews of over one thousand American press men, as we'll as having, and frankly ao init It. been inconvenienced by the ever ready click of the numberless photogra- phers. Believe me, enjoyed my trip, and should 1t be my good fortune to return to the United States. I know 1t will be no more as an entire stranger"
 Crane Extended Welcome.
 The prince was followed by Governor Crane, who extended welcome in be- half of the commonwealth.
 Secretary John D. Long of the navy department, was introduced as represent ing the government at Washington. Sec- retary Long said:
 T must admit that if Prince Henry were to take up his abode with us as we should all be delighted to have him, he would make his way to popular favor as candidate for office as quickly as he has made 1t as an International guest. He has adapted himself so readily to our ways, he has been so democratic in his manner, he has had such kind word for everybody, as for instance for the boys at the naval academy, where, with exquisite tact he gave his hand, not to the victor, but to the vanquished in the wrestling bout, and he has been so ap- preciative of every courtesy and so in- telligent in studying every phase of our institutions, that if he were one of us am sure he would run you, sir, off the track for the mayoralty, or with his naval training and aptitude something higher"
 Secretary Long then discussed the ,n- debtedness of the United States to Ger many and the rest of Europe.
 There were several other toasts incIud ing those by President Eliot, representing Harvard University, and by Hon. Richard Olney, ex-secretary of state. The banouet came to an end with three hearty cheers for the prince
 The prince and his suite then left for the residence of J. Montgomery Sears.
