1t was to the strains of Mendels-

distinguished company finally filed in
to the inclosure around Nassau Hall
at IL o'clock and then the Inaugural

"Veni Creator Spiritus" that was sung
when President Patton was inaugural
ed In 1888 and when Woodrow Wilson
took the oath of office in 1902.
After the reading of Scripture and
the prayer led by Henry van Dyke,
Justice Pitney administered the oath
of office.
Then the charter and the keys we're
delivered by Senior Trustee Stewart,
and the new President of Princeton
made his inaugural address-an hours 8

Then came the comforting of the

Tafts Praise for the cievelands.
There was no one at the Inaugural
tion toward whom more eyes turned
with greater interest than Mrs. Cleve-
land. Gowned in black, with band
of white in her hat, she seemed in per-
feet health, and she had her part to
play in the celebration. At Westland,
she was hostess to Justice White. She
attended the inauguration, and she sat
in the gallery of the gymnasium dur
ing the luncheon which followed.
The name of Grover Cleveland was
the first name to stir the assembly to
applause. 1t was mentioned many
times by many speakers. President
Taft paid his tribute to the memory
of Grover Cleveland, and he paid his
tribute to Mrs Cleveland.

Conservatism the Dominant Nots.
About the Inauguration of President
Hibben the forces of conservatism
played-the forces of the conservative
in education and of the conservative
in politics. The day, serene and unin-
terrnpted, was the day of the conser-
vative in Princeton, and the conserva-
tive in the affairs of the Nation.
Throughout all the ceremonies and
functions of the day, radicalism did
not show its head.
Chief Justice White, who with Presi-
dent Taft received the degree of Ii.

few words in acceptance of the degree
constituted the first public speech he
has made since his elevation TO the
