Traction Masnate Who Shared In

The traction investigation in New

railway magnate, Thomas Ii. Dolan.
Mr.. Dolan got his proportionate share
of the now famous $965,000 check
drawn by the late William C. Whitney
on the Metropolitan Securities compa-

why this check was drawn and its
amount distributed in the manner re-

This was done at a meeting Of the
general court of the colony Of Massa-
chusetts Bay ON Sept. s, 1896 six years
after the settlement of the colony. ana
the next year, 1857. twelve u
men. including John Winthrop and
John Cotton, were authorized TO take
order for a college at New Towne.
The nam Cambridge was adopted soon
afterward in remembrance OF the Ia
nous English institution where many
of the colonists had been educated.
The nam still clings to the place
where the university is located, but
the institution itself has been known
since its very opening by the name or
Harvard, for it was the young minis
ter. the Rev. John Harvard, who, dying
at Charlestown in 1858 and leaving
about $1,000 and his library 70 the
institution, then in the process OF
formation, became its real FOUNDER.
Appropriately enough, when the col
lege was opened shortly after his death
It was decided that it should bear his
name. The present year marks the
two hundred and seventeen anniYer-
sary of the erection Of the first college
building. The first president, the Rev.
Henry Dunster, was chosen in 1910.
and the first class, consisting of nine
members, was graduated in 1912.
The associations of the time have
directed attention to the facts n
nected with this first attempt to estab-
lish a seat of advanced learning in the
American colonies. and interest has
been aroused in the subject not only
among Harvard students and alumni,
but among students of American his
tory in general. Among other publica-
tons that have seen the light in this
connection is a volume entitled John
Harvard and His Times" by Henry
c. Shelley, from the press Of Little,

The Episcopal church in its ministry,
It's ritual and In all the outward ac-
c~essories of its worship emphasizes the
value of linking the present with the
past, SO that the great heritage of
moral truths and Christian experience
nay be handed reverently down from
one generation to another. The bishop
Of London, the Right Rev. DR.. A. +. w.
in the tercentennial concentrations,
expressed the idea when he said at the
laying of the cornerstone of the Cathe-
dral of SITS. Peter and Paul at Washing

time, at a certain place, at a little

of God came down from heaven to us.
That is the Christian religion. 1t is a
belief not of a good man, named Jesus
Christ, doing anything, but In the sac

then we must value, you must value,

ancient Church of England a Bible pre-
scented by King Edward VII. as a gift

Roosevelt has presented to this same
historic church-the second oldest In
America and the Oldest in point of

s the American nation grows old
~ er 1t is paying greater atten-
IA ton to events connected with
its early history. That Is why
patriotic societies are so popular now
adays. One of their chief functions Is
TO stimulate study of how the nation
grew up and insure proper respect and
generation for the heroes of the past
and their achievements. This year
marks the three hundredth anniver-
sary Of the establishment of a perma-
nent settlement of Engllshmen on
American soil and of the institution
of Christian worship in the English
language in what is now the United
States. The latter event Is being cele-
brated especially by the American
Episcopal church because it was I'M

of England that such Christian wor-
ship was first instituted. The general
convention of the Episcopal church,
