 l said the year had been marked by two unusual events; one of which was the accession of MT. Weller to the rec
 torship He is the ninety-ninth in the
 long line of succession but only the
 eighth during the past sixty-three
 years, for in 1889 began the present pol icy of securing teaching force which
 should be permanent, of men who had taken up that profession as their life
 work.
 And what life work Is there which of
 fers more? The main duty of every generation of mankind must always be to rear the next. What a maP does in life is measured by the way he has i'm pressed himself on other men. The teacher of boys impresses himself on the minds of others when they are in the most impressonable stage. They 1 will live after him and he will live in them. No English scholar of his gener- 1 ation did the work of Arnold. and none to-day Is as well remembered by the llnglish-speaking race. The impulses for good that went out from one strong man at Rugby perpetuated by grateful boys trained up by Arnod's fostering care to become leaders of men; by Stanley and Hughes in literature; and by thousands in the life of English homes-these have outrun the sea- and helped also to build up here that sturdy manliness and faith in God without which all education is feeble and incom- plete
 A word as to the other unusual event
 In 1S47 appeared the earliest printed catalogue of the Hopkins Grammar School It told the story of the year, 1 and of that only. From that time on | the annual catalogues have been contin- | ued, and have often contained some thing as to the previous history and of- | ficers of the school.
 This year the trustees, through the | generosity of one of our New York | alumni, Walter Jennings of the Hopkins | Grammar School Class of 1876, and of | the college class at Yale of 1880, have been enabled to undertake the work of | publishing a catalogue of all the trus tees, rectors, instructors and alumni of | the school from it's foundation to the present hour. It has been no small task Trustees, teachers boys now in the school and many of the alumni have shared in the labor and the result will be what is really a volume and one of not little true historical value.
 The Hopkins Grammar School has been from the first a steady feeder of Yale; but her sons have also gone out to many other colleges and universities, both here and abroad. They have scat tered widely over the country and the world South Africa, India, Australia, is no continent to-day whose inhabitants you will not find some alumnus of the Hopkins Grammar School.
 They have made their mark in every business and profession.
 Among the thousands in this alumni catalogue there are many who have made for themselves names to live after them.
 Time allows me to mention but few of them.
