senger Pigeon. This bird is now
practically extinct and has COM
mercial value of SIS. This specimen
was taken in Delaware county years
ago and on account of it's rarity
their are several eastern institutions
that have kept close tract of it and
try to purchase it.
The Wild or Passenger Pigeon,
once so abundant in this county,
was found in flocks throughout the
year. Alexander Wilson, the father
of American Ornitho.ogy' writing
about 1903. estimated that flock Of
Wild Pigeons seen by him near
Frankfort, Kentucky, contained at
least 2,2SO,272,0O0 individuals. Addu.
bon writes that in 1905 he saw
schooners at the wharves in New
York city loaded in bulk with Wild
Pigeons caught UP the Hudson Riv.
er, which were sold at one cent each.
As late as 1876 or 1877 there was
colony of nesting Wild Pigeons in
Michigan, which was twenty-eight
miles long and averaged, three or
four miles in width, and in 1881 the
birds were still SO abundant in parts
of the Mississippi Valley that thou;
sands of the birds were trapped in
that region to be used in Pigeon
match near New York City.
The mystery is, what became of
the Wild Pigeon. The Audubon So
cieties and students or Ornithology
have made every effort to locate it
but with out success

pleased at the marked respect show

emony of his succession to the of
flee of president of Wesleyan uni

able success as president of Uppe,
Iowa University and his abilities
were recognized by all with whom he
came in contact. President Taft

iates, as we'll as many eminent edu-
Gators attended the installation.
The ceremonies were held in Mid
dlesex theater and President Tafts
address, which he delivered extern
poraneously, came next to the last
on the long program. Eminent edu-
Gators, university and college presi-
dents from all sections of the coun-
try attended. The fact DR.. Shanklin
came from the west to take charge
of an old eastern university had a
great deal to do with calling out a
large representation from eastern
colleges as evidence of hospitable wei
come.
President Hadley of Yale, DR.. Alb

Senator Root Speaks.
Senator Root spoke briefly and con-
fined his remarks were almost wholly
to an appreciation and tribute to DIR
Shanklin. He declared it augured well
for Wesleyan that the president OF
the United States should be present
at the installation of the new head
of the old institution to give his
countenance, to extend his felicita-
ton and to share with the univers-
ity it's hopes for the future.
President Taft paid a tribute tc
the teacher as the college president
and declared the idea the proper
man to head an institution of learn
ing was one who "Knew the value
of dollar and how to get it."
Taft's High Praise.
The president said that after the
many words of congratulation ant
felicitation which had come from
Representatives of so many colleges
| and universities and from men who
had known DR.. Shanklin grea'
many years, he felt as though he
were uttering an alien note. The
president mentioned having met DIR
Shanklin during the presidential cam
paign a year ago and addressing hin
today spoke Of the great influence
college president has in shaping thu
careers of young men who are to ex
ercise such important influence upol
the future life of their country. HI
