day looking for an honest man to wash his stocks. In ending he said that the thing for Yale men to seek is character. He concluded with the quotation from LoweIPg lode to Happiness" :" ending: But, "No," she answers, T am she Whom the gods love, Tranquility;
 
 He wins me late, but keeps me long, Who, dowered with every gift of pas
 sion, ...t..: In that fierce flame can forge and
 fashion Of sin and self the anchor strong" The next speaker was Bishop Keator. also good story teller, He said he was impressed by the report of Presi- dent Hadley contrasting the entrance requirements of Harvard, where they were what a boy knows. and of Yale, where they inquire what lie will do when in college. It reminded him of boy up for examination when Yale re-. quired also number of primary sub jects. In answer as to how to ket from Malaga to Manila he write: Sail from lldld3d -lIlc AlC01ltIIduSfl1l3 IAAS Suez canal, through the Red sea, out into the Indian ocean and inquire. The boy thus showed what he could do and ! was admitted. So Yale has the inquir- ing spirit which reaches the point at last. This is the spirit which he is trying to introduce in his state and winch he will carry back, for it is sue cess.
 The last speaker was President Alder man, who declared himself a. confirm ed optimist. He declared that different as the founders of the two colleges were they had the same idea. At both places honor is the keynote. Referring to President Hadley's invitation to south ern men to come to Yale, and thus unite the country, he said he about-faced and invited the northern boys to come to Virginia. They could teach them and also learn of a race which has suf- fered for its ideals. He wants to see an academic congress every year to discuss the momentous questions of the day. For youths are confirmed ideal- ists, as are all Americans at heart. Why" he said, T can even read Everybody's each month and still be ain optimist .' "The south also is a cen ter of optimism, and the country may turn to her yet for a leader as it's did for George Washington. It was good that this was the end of President Al derman's speech, as he could not have continued for the long applause.
 In the remarks on the alumni fund President Hadley announced the re- election of the directors whose terms expire this year, as follows: Payson Merrill 65 Thomas Thacher Fl, w. M. Barnum ", William A. Brown '86, and w. B. Davenport '67. He also referred to the distinguished service of Dr. Nun ger as a member of the Yale corpora ton, and of his successor, Payson Mer- Till, true Christian gentleman.
 The speeches of the day ended here, and the alumni broke up into groups to discuss the gifts and if any one spoke of ''tainted'' money he was assured that it would soon be cleansed. There was mot a more popular man among Yale a'utnni last night than John D. Rocke- felleT
