ELIOT TO RADCLIFFE WOMEN
SUGGESTS A FUND TO PAY
TEACHERS SALARIES.

With II, He Says. Harvard Instructiou
Could BE Really Adapted to the
Girls Needs--Cheerful Estimate OF
woman's Zeal in . Farewell Talk
President Charles Eliot Of Harvard
made a farewell talk to the graduates OF
Radcliffe College yesterday afternoon
at Delmonioo's. DR.. Eliot was the guest
Of honor Of the girls Of Radcliffe al
luncheon. They also entertained Richard
Watson Glider and President Briggs OF
the college. .
Before the luncheon the alumn@ club
he'd reception for President Eliot and
deluged him with good wishes.
Tho sifls Of Radcliffe do not wish their
alma mater considered In any sense as an
annex Of Harvard. since it is quite inde-
pendent Of the mems school. but they
wanted President Eliot to understand
yesterday afternoon. that they owed him
large debt of gratitude for the counsels
he had given to Radcliffe and for the help
he had been to undergraduates. There
were $50 present at the luncheon.
President Eliot offered a suggestion,
which he hoped would be carried out in
the next few years, that fund be estab-
lished at Radcliffe to provide for salaries
for teachers
This is an occasion for rejoicing
said President Eliot, but as this is the
last opportunity | shall ever have Of ad-
dressing you it occurs to me that should
say something about the needs Of Rad
oliffe. There Is a great need-not for
lands or chairs or houses--but for a large
fund to provide salaries for teachers.
With such q fund Radcliffe could enjoy
Harvard's teachers independently In
courses specifically adapted to the needs
OF Radclihe's students Specific adapta-
ton is most important.
1T has been a weakness OF colleges
for women that they have merely copied
mems colleges That was considered
q good plan at the start when there was q
feeling that young woman was not as
capable as young man. and that what
was good for a young man would be all
the better for young woman II she were
able to absorb IT, We have got by that
to demonstrate any longer that you can
do all Of the things that young man can
do. lApplause. In fact, experience of
many years has taught me to believe
that young women display a greater
devotion to their tasks than do young
men. lGreat applause.
IF this fund Is established IL will tend
to broaden Radcliffe in many ways. All
grades Of America society VIII be repre-
sented there, believe, the rich and the
poor. We want them all at Radcliffe as
we have them at Harvard"
President Eliot talked a little while
about teachers and their work. He be-
lieved that the best time Of life for a
TEACHER was between the ages of rs and
40. Long observation had led him to
conclude that q teachers best and most
work was done in that period.
President Rebecca Hooper Of the Rad
cliffe Club introduced Richard Watson

DIR. HILL on u. s. EXPANSION.
Also Word on the Square Deal At Berlin
American Dinner.

Special Cable Dsspateh 10 THE SUN.
BERLIN. Jan 1o.-Dr. David Jayne Hill.
the American Ambassador. was the prin-
cipal guest at the annual dinner of the
American Association OF Commerce and
Trade here this evening. In a speech
in reply to a toast the Ambassador de-
scrbed the last decades of American
history as an era OF expansion, though
not in any attribute OF geographical
extent or increased resources.
It is true. the Ambassador said, that
the new domains have come under the
authority Of the United States, but they
were not appropriated for the purpose
Of increasing territory 1t was true
also that a powerful navy had been built
and feet Of this navy would soon oom-
plete a marvellous voyage around the
world, but, the Ambassador declared,
it had been welcomed by every nation
visited as a messenger Of peace and not
one that was menacing any Power.
These, the Ambassador said. we're out
ward indications Of an expansion Of the
inner life. but the central fact of all these
movements was the growth Of the Ameri-
can mind and character. A great trait
OF this character was its delight in de-
manding and defending fair play and
uniform opportunities for all.
DR.. Hill compared the commerce Of
other countries with that Of the Gin
derella Of nations. which in future, led
by the fairy wand Of international friend
ship based on justice. will become
the arbiter Of peace and war.
Great applause greeted the Ambas-
sadors statement that America and Ger
many had maintained peaceful relations
for more than 100 years.
The dinner tonight was the largest
since the establishment of the associa-
ton seven years ago. The humor Of the
occasion was supplied by Exchange Pro-
fessor Davis Of Harvard.
BERLIN. Jan. le.-Ambassador Hill
has engaged temporarily as secretary

Oxford. He will return to Oxford in the

DR.. Hill will open his house next Monday

and their families and will give a recep-
ton to court functlonaries on January 23.
The invitations TO the latter will be no

THE Music OF A SATURDAY,
Three Verdi Operas and One by Mozart
Heard by Large Audiences.

Every seat In both opera houses was
sold yesterday afternoon and the stand
ing room was crowded At the Man
haitian the public manifested its interest
in Verdis La Traviata.' with Nine
Tetrazzini as Violettn. The prima donna
was in good voice and her singing was
marked by it's fullest freedom and facility
She decorated -Semper liberia with a
choice assortment of imported laoes and
graces and the audience expressed its
pleasure at the display in most demon
strative fashion. Nine. Tetrazzini's chief
assistant was Mr.. Taccani as Alfredo. and
he proved himself tenor up to date by
singing the much respected high G on
-Croce."
At the Metropolitan Opera House
Mozart's 1Le Nozze di Figaro" had its
second performance. As before noted,
the house was sold out, and 1t is also sold
out for tomorrow night. when the opera
will be sung again. The performances
moved yesterday. as it did at the previous
representation. with beautiful smooth
ness and spirit. All the chief singers
acquitted themselves with high credit,
and the audience unquestionably enjoyed
the charming comedy and lovely music.
The opera at the Manhattan in the eve
ming was Verdi -Otello. in which Nine.
Labia assumed the role OF DeSdemona.
Her impersonation was most commenda-
bic. The other members OF the cast
were the same as before. Again it was
Verdi at the Metropolitan in the evening,
this time I'll Trovatore. Nine. Felicie
Kascho wska sang Leonord for the first
time here with good voice and excellent
style. Mr.. Martin repeated his admirable
Mdnrico and Nine. Homer. quite recovered
from her illness. sang Asudnd in her Gus
tomary effective manner.
Albert Spalding, the violinist, gave
a concert at Carnegie Hall yesterday
afternoon He was heard with Alfred
Oswald in Beethoven's Kreuzer sonata.
He played among other things Bachs
sChaconne' and in a style so commendable
as to give greater ground for hope for his
future than anything else he has done
here.

Prof. Lombroso also gives some re-
markable instances in which the instinct
Of self f-preservation showed itself strongly
Women and children remained for two
days sitting on window sills on third and
fourth floors with great drop on either
side, and yet they refused to fall a prey
TO sleep or fatigue. This reminds Prof.
Lombroso Of a remark often made by
Alpine climbers that the instinct OF self
preservation always dominates any ten
dency TO dizziness.
Prof Lombroso goes on to show that
children resisted terror and pain better
than adults. This, he says, was due not
only to their remarkable power OF re-
sisting suffocaton, but also to their
unconsoiousness Of danger and the sensa-
ton OF fear which must certainly have
killed majority Of those who died after
being extrioated.
