 r Prassmsor Jeremiah ". Jenks, pro- lessor of political economy at Cornell University:-'Tt is never safe to pre- diet mans place in history, but there can De little question that President
 Roosevelt's place among American statesmen will be a high one. He came to the Presidency at a time ripe for a leader of the people. He has under stood thefr feelings. their aspirations. their pre1udices even better than others and in consequence. he has been able, to advance reform movements He has contributed more than any other man to the moral awakening of the Aneri- can people in methods of business and of politics.

To my mind he will be given In posterity something about the same plane as Andrew Jackson. Jackson and Roose- what I have said do not thIak could make any further prophecy"
 Professor H. J. Ford of the Politics Department of Princeton:-"Rooseve did great deal to facilitate the de- velopment of the Presidential office as the chief representative of the people. He did not initiate the conception of the Presidency as a representative in- stitution. That was a question at issue between the whigs and the de- mocrats. and President Polk was the first executive. to distinctly announce the doctrine that the President repre- scented the nation as a whole and is the only branch of the government that does. Congress represents localities and special interests.

His administration SwilI un- doubtedly be accredited with great con-. stitutional importance and will shine in history as the most powerful move- ment ever made up to his time to infuse a democratic character into the conduct Of government and Go bring the course of legislation under the control Of public opinion. Although 1t Is hard to predict what place post eritY will assign him, there is no doubt in my mind that the President is great man in every sense of the word. Ills rudeness of speech and action are characteristic of great men and one might almost say that they are necessary contingent upon great ness in the field of politics. The petty, spiteful actions of the Congress, whose successors have already been elected and which is in reality no longer en- titled to oface. are more than repre- and merely the mean, narrow revenge of a body whose corruption has been revealed"

 James Walter Crook, Professor Of Political Economy, Amherst College:- 'I am inclined to think that Roose- velts place in history Is that of being one of the reconstruCtors of our Amer icRn democracy.
 ''In the system of competition in business the Anglo Saxons are allowed more freedom than Is best, and Roose- velt's functtpn has been to call at tention to the social interests. It sometimes has been forgotten.
 'Posterity will forget his weak negSes which perhaps are connected with impulsiveness.

Professor Irving Fisher, of YaIe:-"I believe that President Roosevelt will go down in history as one of our great Presidents. Undoubtedly he has his faults, and they are uppermoBt in the minds of a great many people, and undoubtedly he has made mistakes which he probably will be the first to recognize But one of the very req sons admire him is because he is not deterred from going ahead be- cause of the mistakes he may makes This is a time when rapid action fs needed and a policy of oNercautious dealing Is apt to do more permanent damage than the Rooseveltian policy, which has been more or less justly accused of being nasty.
 Tt seems to me that the harm Presi- dent Roosevelt may have done is very much less than that which he has been. accused of doing. For instance, the panic of last year was fastened. on Mir. Roosevelt by many persons who do not understand the financial and monetary causes which made it in- evitable sooner or later,
 We all ought to admire President Roosevelt for the possession of whose simple and yet rare qualities of coua- age and integrity of purpose. These alone atone for @ multitude of sins. The ordinary politician is timid and in- clined to be more or less warped and controlled by selfish and underground influences"

'The reason MT. Roosevelt appeals so to the average American is his im- mense vitality end his willingness and his desire to do his work in plain sight. He has grasped and has utilized per- haps more than any previous President the immense power of an aroused public opinion.

The demonstration commenced at 8

winding up with war dance around
a huge bonfire in the middle Of the
campus. Excitement was at a high
pitch around the college during the
demonstration and a large number of
spectators gathered to see the fun.
The celebration commenced with the
ringing Of the college bell to summon
the warriors to the dance. The stu
dents who rang the bell had secured
long rope and tied 1t TO the bell, the
other end reaching to the top of Zion
hill. In this way they succeeded in
ringing the bell without being de-
tected.
Appear In Night Clothes.
In answer to the summons, students
began to appear behind the dormitory
dressed In night shirts, sheets and
pillow cases. Led by a drummer and
bugler the procession moved around
the building few times gathering
new recruits and then the line Of
march led down the boulevard After
considerable maneuvering, accompani-
