DR.. BUTLER INSTALLED
AS COLUMBIA'S HEAD
President Roosevelt and Governor
Odell Attend Exercises-Presi-
dent Patton's Remarks.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
New York. April 2o.--In the presence
OF the president of the United States
and of an academic company such as
has seldom before gathered together in
this country, DR.. Nicholas Murray But
ler was yesterday afternoon formally
installed as the president of Columbia
university, to succeed Seth Low, who
resigned to become mayor of this city.
The occasion was pointed out as
unique in many respects. 1t was re-
markablc from the fact that it was
one of the few occasions in the his
tory OF the county upon which the
president of the nation has been the
guest OF honor and listened for nearly
three hours tc speechmakins, while he
himself was not called upon to utter
a word. President Roosevelt mani
Tested his thorough enjoyment of the
exercises, however, by his applause, his
attention, his laughter, and, upon one
occasion, his very decided gesture of
delight.
1t was While President Patton, Of
Princeton, was speaking, and the
Princeton man, with apparent uncon-
sciousress, said that the mission of the
university of today was to insist upon
the "more strenuous life." President
Roosevelt looked conscious. There was
a slight litter in the audience, and this
gradually grew into loud applause. The
president then laughed, bowed his head
and changed his position. 1t was one
Of the incidents of a day full of nota-
Bile ones.
The occasion was unique I'm the fact
that l. marked the coming together
upon the platform of a university of
the president of the United States, the
governor of this state, and the mayor
OF thiH city--and all of them former
students of that institution. President
Roosevelt Is a graduate of Harvard,
but he studied law at Columbia. 1t
was the first time, also, since the first
year of Washington's administration
that president OF the United States
has paid an official visit to Columbia
university.
The scene of The installation exercises
was the gymnasium of the university,
which had been entirely refitted and
decorated for the event. The gymna-

RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.
American Students, It Is Predicted,
Will Exert Potent Influence
on University Life.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Prcs
London, April 2O.-The Speaker de-
votes long article to the probable
effect of the Rhodes scholarships on
Oxford university. 1t thinks 1t safe to
ignore the influence of the Germans and
colonials, saying the former will natur-
ally gravitate toward IL Teutonic clique
but it will be too small to materially
affect the traditions of Oxford. The
colonials, of whom there are many al
ready at oxford, show no tendency to
impress themselves on the life OF the
college. 1t is through the American
invasion that The Speaker anticipates
the greatest changes. The writer of
the article remarks:
"There are now two distinct classes
of Americans at Oxford. one is the
sons of rich men affected by a more
or less acute form Of Anglomania, who
are often more English than the Eng
lish themselves. These may also be is-
nored, for they will not want to parti-
cipate i'm the Rhodes scheme. The
second class consists of sons of English
born parents who have settled I'm Amer
lea, but who wish 10 maintain English
traditions. believe that nearly all the
new scholarships will so to Americans
of this class. l have never heard or
any pure-bred American coming either
to Oxford or Cambridge. The result,
however, will be the same, for, what
ever their fathers may be, the Ameri-
cans who are sons of English parents
are as American as anybody, and are
not likely to forget their nationality
when they find themselves at Oxford"
Arguing on these premises, the writer
concludes that 100 young American stu

In breath Dapple was at her side.
The girl stood and looked at the gem

around his neck.
"oh. Dapple, pretty Dapple." she
sobbed, at breaks my heart to part

In the next breadth she stood erect,
her eyes flashing through most of

"Come, sir" she said, "allow me to
help you to mount Dapple, take this
gentleman down the river road and

Dapple uttered a sagacious whinny,
but the soldier hesitated.
why don't you mount, sir?" cried
the girl impatiently. "Will you remain
her and ruin both yourself and me?"
He vaulted into the saddle without
word.
Away, Dapple, like the wind!' cried
Irene, and the little mountain pony
shot off like an arrow.
The war was over, and once more
over the blasted and desolate homes of

Captain Rutherford made it his bus-

homestead stood he found nothing but
a mass of ruins, and Of Dapple's mis-
tress not the slightest tidings could he
