 mark too low. One often hears Of Yale democracy; there is always a democ- racy where scholars are, and there is always democracy in the Yale faculty. As an instance, at the recent funeral of a man for many years a carpenter at Yale there were present ex-President Dwight, President Hadley and many of the faculty to pay nim honor. For president of a great university Dr. HadIey has every qualification but one -dullness; hence he is eminently un- suited to the office. However hearty reception he may receive tonight we can rest assured that as President Hadley he will receive just as enthusi- astic greeting thirty years from now.
 President Hadley modestly inquired If he would need thirty years to get over his dullness, and so out of office. Turning to his toast, University Ideals," he said that it was an old sub ject, but he hoped to make it attain a Phi Beta Kappa rank In his treatment. The ideal university is place which teaces men to use their brains for the public service. The university brings brains into association, and has an att mosphere of unity, where men can work better together. It takes the brains, and as it were, winds them up, and directs their activity in the public service. That is to say, when 8 man works with others his work is not his own private property, but is pant of something much larger and better The older colleges give a sense of debts to the past, and so inpart similar feeling toward the future, and it's members have desire to make the future indebted to them. The ideal employments are not those having a personal advantage to the individual as their object, but those in which he can do his utmost for others. Hrre the tangible rewards are small, but thein- tangible ones are infinitely great; and it is the service of ones fellows and the future which is the inspiration of the world.
 Then Professor Phelps characterized this as the greatest gathering at any Yale dinner. It was Dean Wnght's on- 1 ly appearance at an undergraduate dinner and his presence is benedic- tion. Of the society, he said it was the only one with no influence but for good, and in which pull and influence have no effect. Introducing Professor Lounsbury, 59, he spoke of him as a soldier and scholar, saying that the 1 scholar needs the same courage as the soldier, to resist the pleasures of life, | and stick to his work. Professor Dounsbury has made himself, Yale and the scholar honored the world over As soldier, said Professor Louns- bury, he was famous now as one of the fifteen veterans not yet pensioned His toast was Phi Beta Kappa" The undergraduate, said he, is often de- | spondent as his college years end ! when he compares himself with the 1 famous athletes. say nothing against | athletics, I believe in them-but not when exalted above the intellect; and | they are never preferred in the req 1 world. It is strange, too, that grinding in athletics is praised, while in schol, l e'i SAiiR Ab lS liuANdAC0t put lliC ld lLGl teaches self-denial, and gives an ex, altation and an ideal.

 Professor Tracy Peck, '61, made tn, annual Latin address, the final cere mony of initiation. First he addressed the speakers, telling Secretary Taft amidst the greatest applause, that h, must accept the highest office of hi
 country If called to it by the people Then he addressed the new members who listened standing to his "Saluete Initiati." The peculiar aspect of thl speech was that nearly all understood it.
 Professor Barrett Wendell, of liar ward TT, responded to the toast French Universities" comparing then with our own. As ideas that we migh
