tribution and thick placing of these

"And if I may express a wish Mr.
President, may l wish for Yale that, the
friendships formed here to-day may
ever be dear to US. May I wish that
what our predecessors have done may
be an inspiration to US and bring honor
to Yale ever evermore. May the bless
ing of Almighty God rest on dear OLD
Yale"
The next speaker, President Hadley
said, was man who had done llttle
of everything, who had brought the
east and the west nearer together, who
had been successfully lawyer,
statesman and diplomat, and intro
duced Sir Chentung iang-Cheng the
Chinese ambassador at Washington.
As he arose to speak every person in
the hall jumped to his feet and gave
him an ovation which lasted several
moments. The ambassador was deeply
aHecled by the gfeellnS'
After thanking and showing his ap-
probation to President Hadley for the
| honor conferred on him, he said he had
heard Yale was called national because
her students came from all parts of the
country, but from his stay in Washing
ton he was led to believe 1t might well
i be called national because Yale men at

| al government. What harm, said he,
"can come to this government when
Taft is holding down the lid, and When
| he is busy escorting pleasure parties IN
the Philippines or Panama, there is
Metcalf to take his place
He spoke also of the influence of Dom
| nell in the House, who was one Of the
few men able to push legislation
through that body of Depew in the
Senate; of Chief Justice Brewer on the
supreme bench, who would interpret
the law in accordance with the Yale
spirit.
Quoting from Bishop Berkeley that
westward the course of empire takes
its way" he spoke of the influence of
Yale in China, lately eliminated by the
establishment there of a branch of Yale.
Continuing, he detailed the growth of
western education in China, and espe-
cially the part played by Yale, begin
ming over fifty years ago, when the
first Chinese student graduated from
Yale and strengthened in the early
seventies, when over one hundred Chi
nese students were sent to America by
the government to be educated, of
which party he was himself a member
| Turning to the work in China of those
among this number who went to Yale,
he said one was engaged in railway
construction; another was the head Of
one of the principal railroads Of the
country, and another was at the head
of the customs department Of the port
| Of Tien-Tsin. In. concluding he said it
would be fortunate day for China
! when this hold of Yale men was ex-
! tended as well over the other important
offairs of the Chinese empire.
