INAUGURAL PARADE.
Chancellor MacCrackcn says It's
Foolish To Have College In II.

New York. Feb. 9.-ln an address
to the undergraduates Chancellor
MacCracken of the New York Uni
versity. expressed himself as oppos-
ed to the plan to have college men
in the inaugural parade at Washing
ton. After saying that he in common
with other college presidents had re-
ceived a letter from the inaugural
committeerequesting his aid in the
matter. the chancellor continued:
IL have declined to take up this
matter because think that this in
auguration committee Is doing a
very foolish thing. They are attempt

ton to perform no higher mission
than march an hour or two along
the avenue and stand for an hour or
two about the capitol building.
my first objection is that the
whole plan would convey to students
a weak and false notion regarding
the best way of evidencing patriot
ism. II asks nothing from the brains
of students. 1t asks for their legs
and feet, This call to prove our pa
triotism by marching is like de-
mand that we. prove our religion by
ceremony and genuflection. Another
objection is that the plan is break

with demand for a recess"
