ment. There was a time when scien-
lists used glasses to see the moon, and
this for a long time was considered
the only service to which they could
be properly put, but to-day there is
not a port in the United States where
glasses are not used on every gallon
of molasses that lands at the port, to
ascertain. to the exact ounce, the
amount of sugar in every gallon"
when | was in Florida" continued
Prof. Talley, speaking of science by
way of illustration, 81 was making
some Investigations because l had
heard that a butterfly, if fed on a GER
tain leaf, would change it's color, so l
determined to make the experiment.
Therefore, l got two caterpillars.
Their names are not very significant,
yet | will give them: one was papilio-
asterias, the other papilio-cresaphontes
These two were put up to feed upon
a certain leaf. One ate and thrived,
the other persisted. In other words,
one accepted the conditions. The 9TH
er could not, which taught me that no
people can live and thrive unless they
are in harmony with their surround
ings. This is true with our people,"
Continuing, he said, 81 rejoice in this
movement which has been launched
here. There is a large place in our
racial circles for colleges of applied
science. The nan or woman who is
not in harmony with his surroundings
must pass away, be lost to sight.
There is a great industrial awaken
ing in the South and the Negro will
soon be called upon to take RESPONSE
BILE positions in the industrial world.
AS the call for skilled men increases
we must be ready to meet the de-
mand."
The Jubilee Club, under the able
management of Prof. John w. Work,
who is recognized as one of the best
composers of Jubilee songs, sang Ills
ten to the Lambs all Crying" a new
song which has never before been
sung by a club. Following a selection
of the Glee Club, the meeting was ad
journed to meet in Chase Hall for the
dedicatory prayer.
At Chase Hall.
Every room in this beautiful build
ing was closely inspected by visitors
and students, all of whom had come
over from the exercises at Memorial
Chapel. Rev. DR.. Llewellyn Pratt, D..
D., of Norwich, Conn. offered a most
~fe-vent prayer dedicating the building
to the cause of Christ as a Christian
educational institution. DR.. Pratt has
been a member of the executive board
Of the American Missionary Associa-
tion for about twenty years. He is
~pastoring a large congregation in Con-
necticut, and came South in response
to the invitation extended.

ment of the guests. Supper was
served at the dormitory at $3.50 o'clock
