The president turned to Yale naturally and selected a man with a great big heart and a broad understanding. I mean Judge William H. Taft. (Ap- plause.) With him was sent Governor Hunt to Porto Dico. Their commenda- ble work is too well known to mention here.
 T do not get chance to come up here often. I get lost when do some here, because the place grows so fast. have to have guide. I am reminded of the man who went to the station. The train, through train, did not stop. The man turned to the old negro DOT ter, the sole onlooker, and said rather dazed: Why. the train didn't stop". No, sah, replied the porter; she ain't even hesitate
 That's the way I feel about Yale to- day. She doesn't even hesitate. am profoundly grateful for the honor con- ferred upon me to-day. Should I win 8 major-generalship on the field of bat tie would not exchange it for the hon. or received today"
 Judge H. E. Rowland, '5S, was next introduced. He spoke as follows:
 They have spoken of my cOmmenda- ble work with President Dwight. had work, but Dwight had the credit. Gaughter).
 This institution celebrates no birth day. It's like the two little children, one of which was founding. The other had birthday and told the founding, who answered: I don't have any, birthday. I wasn't born; l was founded
 ''So it is with Yale. It moves fast, too. have difficulty in even keeping up with the curriculum. I couldn't se- lect course to get in or get out of the university to save my life. This insti- tuition has much to do. It's harder now to succeed in business. The man must make the opportunity. It takes long, CT time now than in my time to suc- ceed. A lawyer, for instance, could succeed in three years instead of ten or fifteen to-day The old days were diff ferent The son who had determined to practice law entered his fathers office in country town. At the end of the day he said to his father when ques- toned: It's not what it's cracked up to be. I'm sorry learned it.
 '"The medical profession on whose successes the sun shines. and whose failures the earth covers takes many years to bring success. The clergy, too, have their troubles. remember an in cident in the life Of George Sterns. An up country minister came to the little town where Sterns used to go Sundays forrest and refreshment. He was a per- feet type of hard working asceticism. He went up, snto the pulpit with black glove and pale and half-starved feat ures. He hammered the indignant dust out of the poor old pulpit cushions and he lifted his voice and preached from the text We are worms of the dust George Stern sat and heard him and determined to invite him to dinner and put a little enjoyment into his parched soul. So he invited him to din- ner. He knew he would drink cider So he went down cellar and brought up two quarts of champagne with the labels washed off. The man of God thought it was cider and drank his bottle with much relish, and remarking on the perfect fiavoring of the liquod. That afternoon he strode up the aisle of the church, hammered the dust out of the cushions some more and preached from the text "We are made in the image of God" (Much laughter). But, I must get. as did the Lady Godiva in her celebrated ride toward my close. thank you"
 a. Judge Gray, of United States circuit 4I,o so+, He alluded to the labor troubles : throughout the country. He said there was every reason for new hope and greater assurance It was the duty of such a body of men as Yale sends out to dis serninate security and hope to doubt CTS. He concluded as follows: There cannot be danger when such body, united with other similar bodies, exists all through the country. You are the custodians of the liberty and happiness of the republic. Yale democracy is the key to the success of the future. It is incumbent upon you to perform this duty which is part of you. I despise the word ''class" There are no "class B barriers" Let it, be your duty to see that there never be any. Never let your brother lack in sympathy and help from you. The country has learned an excel lent lesson from the late proceedings in regard to the coal strike. It has seen that no menace or danger can be too great not to be settled by the common sense of the American people. (Ap- plause). The key note is hopefulness for the future. The world has been and will be governed by public opinion. Rus sia already feels its force and power. . At the end of the speaking the first and last verses of Bright College Years were sung with rousing vim and enthusiasm.
