 pr. HadIey Speaks. The most interesting feature of the din- ner was the address made by pr. Hadley. As a public speaker the president of Yale is an admirable type of the gentleman eonversing." He spoke first of his appre- clation of the courtesies shown him since he had come to Birmingham. and of the pleasure it gave him to be here, and to meet here, Yale men and the people of the south. Proceeding he pointed out the value of Yale alumni associations and of their influence for good to the uni- versity and to the communities where they existed. Yale was a national insti- tution-her sons come from all sections of the union, and indeed from all quarters of the earth. The university was made better by reason of the fact that 1t had attracted to It's halls so many men Of southern birth and of southern traditions, and he was satisfied that the section from
 
 proved by reason of the fact that so many of its men of light and leading had been sons of Yale. 1t was well that the people of all sections should intermingle with one another and by intermingling should come to know one another the bet ter and to love one another the more. In this way the social and political life of the whole country would become homo- geneous.

 An Incident. A little incident in connection with the arrival of President and Mrs. Hadley yesterday was disconcerting to members os the Yale Alumni association who were at the station to receive the distinguish ed guests, Dr. and Mrs. Hadley. who were expected on the train from Atlanta. When the train rolled into the station, the reception committee felt keenly dis appointed when they failed to see Presi- dent Hadey. They were at a loss to ac- count for his failure to arrive, and had visions for the public reception arranged at the Hillman in his honor and the dinner at the club without the presence O. the guest of honor. Tn despair, Yale alumnus suggested that probably Presi- dent Hadey had come direct from Sa- | vannah to Birmingham, leaving Atlanta out of his itinery. Acting upon this sug- | gestion, the alumni filed through the | gates and greeted President Hadley, and Mrs. Hadley, who had quietly entered l the Hillman bus.
