(Continued from First Page.)

dominatable will of the American peo pie, and as we look back we see the re moval of the power of France, Spail and Russia from this country. We ar, now one people, our land is bright an( prosperous and our ore supreme effor should be toward future progress, pros perity and happiness"
 Rev, William R. Huntington, of New
 York, was the next speaker. In open. | ing he told a story of reporter who
 came to him requesting that he furnish
 one thousand words for the Sunday edi-
 ton of "The New York Universe" or
 the topic How I desire to spend the
 evening of my day" Dr. Huntington could not accommodate the reporter
 but" the speaker continued, to-day I would use only thirteen words to de scribe such a condition and the words would be, I desire to spend the evening of my day as Yale man." Contin- uing, Dr. Huntington said:
 ''We have heard a great deal about the scholar in politics, but do not be- lieve that we have heard half enough about the scholar in conference. This country is threatened in its peace and
 
 the anarchist on one hand and the plu- tocrat on the other. How can cur coun- try be saved by other than the wide and noble influence of college and uni versity graduates? There are five men in our land who deserve the just odum of our people-the average man, the man in the streets, the economic man. the man with the hoe and the man be- hind the gun. I sometimes wish the man behind the gun would shoot the man with the hoe, the economic man. the man in the streets and the average man, and then commit suicide The ground would then be free and safe in the hands of the man with the sheep- skin.'
 President Butler of Columbia univer- sity said
 My first words must be of appre- citation of the honor of being enrolled among the sons of Yale. The pleasure and satisfaction are great, in that here after I shall be able and privileged to march with the army that wears the blue. From President Hadley's address at the morning exercises, I am con- vinced that the problem of relationship, profession and technical, of the college and universities to the affairs Of our land, Is one that will confront the American people for many years to come. Our colleges and universities are not private institutions We are held accountable to the great public opinion of our country and 1t is to the everlasting honor and glory of Yale that Yale has recognized this policy and has not been found wanting in public service or lacking in the education of a public democracy.
 ''We want our colleges and univer- of grappling with the social, political and economical problems of the day and then shall future generations real ize and appreciate what we are here to-day"
 James Whitcomb Riley thanked Yale for the honor conferred upon him. He stated that he had lately attended exer- ,ises at a college established seventy years ago He considered that that col ege was an old one but when he real zed that Yale was one thirty years old W with a touch of pathos in the thought hat Yale should have deliberated for TWO hunrded years before conferring lonors upon him. MT. Riley was greet d with a great outburst of applause. He then read a poem, written for the occasion, and entitled "No Boy Knows" each verse of the poem ending with the words, "No boy knows when he goes o slee2.''
 Dr. Lanman, an old Yale man, now professor in Harvard, spoke on Yale md Harvard rivalry. He believed that he purpose of the two universities is he same Their spirit is the same and throughout all future history Yale and l men will be found working for he good of the nation. The ovation of the afternoon was ten tered Robert Curtis Ogden, president of he board of trustees of Hampton In- titute and chairman of the neWly-ap- 1 ,ointed Southern Educational Board. 1 Ir. Ogden stated that he felt that de- l rec from Yale was more acceptable to 1 md more sincerely appreciated by a | nan who had never received a degree ] rom any college or university "I have ]! lever attended a college or university" | aid MT. Ogden, but I have always !, wanted an alma mater. My unfortu ate condition was discovered by the ! Tale corporation and q degree of adop- 1 ion and cGnsola ton has hpen conferred ! pon me. I sincerely trust that it may e followed by degree of complete onrtifica tiOn Men of the world arc laimed by some to be superior to the 1 man, but I believe that our reat economic question of the day, | yhich almost threaten to destroy us ,ill be solved by men whose minds ave been trained in academic and phil sophical departments of our universi- les. I am proud to be Yale man by doption and hope to be so through modification" Another very hearty reception was ccorded eX-President Dwight, who poke last. YaIe's former president
