Dr. AadIey On
 Life's Battle
President Tells Yale Students They Must Have Friends
 and Ideals

New Haven. June 19-In his bacca- laureate sermon to the graduating class of Yale University yesterday President Hadley took for his text, Flight the good fight of faith; lay hold on eternal life.'' pr. Hadley said:
 There are very few men who are strong enough to play their own game to the bitter end in defiance of fate. Very few who have striven to live their own lives without identifying themselves with some cause which will last after they are gone have main- tained their purpose unbroken through diversity. The man who believes in himself alone Is usually putting his trust on fragile support.
 Sure and permanent achievement belongs to him who lives for something outside of himself whether it be his friends or his country; his principles or his faith. The heroes who have been able to assert their personality alone in the face of gods and men have been for the most part heroes of fiction rather than heroes of his- tory.
 ''The more a man knows of life, the more he feels the need of having things outside of himself to live for. He needs friends, he needs traditions; he needs ideals. These he must have in order to give him stability of pur- pose and clearness of vision to steady him in the hour of defeat; and to sup ply the hope of added strength for the contests that are yet to come These he must have in order to make the end itself seem worth while"

c Hartford. June 19-Burton Mans Aeid ofsfrew Haven. the new insurance commissioner. was visitor to the of fosF of the department Saturday. The object of his visit was to set at rest vague rurnors to the effect that he intended upon taking the oath of of- fioe to maipe sweeping removals of the employees Of the department so far as Republicans were concerned.
