George Carter. editor OF The Evening
Journal and an alumnus OF Goldey Col
iege, presided at the graduation eXer-
cises. In his opening address he fe-
liotated the members Of the gradual
ing class upon having won diplomas
from such an admirable institution. He
warned them, however, that their bus
mess education was not yet complete (;
that they would discover, when they
got out in the business world, that It
just cleyerly had begun.
Commenting upon the history and the
work Of Goldey College, Mr.. Carter said
in part:
at was founded by Prof II. s. Goldey
In 1886 for educational experiment; il
has developed into a national and even
an international educational reality. It
began in one room in the Institute
Library building. II has occupied since
1914, the bulk Of big Goldey College
building, at Ninth and Tatnall streets.
Since 1t was founded more than 20
600 students from 30 different fStates
and several foreign countries have
passed from its portals out into the
business world. In the last school year,
students were received from iA cities
and towns, 10 States and from Cuba
and Porto Rico.
Founded by Prof Goldey, the cell
lege wss taken over and expanded by
rfessrs. j. r. Fuller, w. z. Douglas and
Julian z. Phillips, and they have done
splendid work in conserving what
Prof. Goldey created, Mr. Carter said.
ut was the pioneer business college
in Delaware and blazed the way here
especially in the matter OF shorthand
and typewriting. There was only one
typewritlng machine in Wilmington
when Mr.. Goldey came here In 1886, and
opened his college.

ents have gone out from this college. |
Think what it meansi II 1t could be
possible 10 hold here reunion Of all
those GOldey College graduates, 1t
would require an auditorium fourteen

house auditorium to hold them. II they
could be placed in Market street in reg
imental formation, they would occupy
the space OF fourteen regiments Of in
fantry. And IL, after being placed in
such formation, they were marched up
Market street, they would be from three
to four hours passing a given point.
Talk about putting Wilmington on
the map" Mr. Carter added, why, all
the civic organizations we. have had
In our city since 1886 have not sur
passed this one college In putting our
CITY on the map. All OF them combined
have not sent out 10000 GOd-fearing,
animated. bright-eyed, ambitious and
accomplished advertisements for our

sf,1dent IL has graduated has been
good advertisement, not only FOR the
college but also for the city in which
mat college exists. Goldey College has
wood cause to be proud OF its alumni,

In introducing DR.. Cadman. Mr.. Car
Ter said:
.England has made to America many
valuable gifts. She has given to us her
language. her law. her literature, trial
hy Jury. the habeas corpus, the broad
lines of her political system, representa-
live government, equality before the
lav her general standards of thought
ind living. her love Of honesty and fair
blav and that do-or-die spirit which,
With other attributes, has given TO
Anglo-Saxon nations like the United
states and Great Britain that position
Of pre-eminence which they occupy in
she world today.
Not the least Of those contributions d
has been the sending Of English men to y
America. They and their immediate I
descendants have played potential parts n
n shaping the educational, religious, 4
the industrial, commercial, professional,
country :

Is one OF those valuable contributions a
ne mas won distinction and honor in the :,

him today as one Of its spiritual civic /.
and patriotic leaders. wv
in 1864, when the Civil War woe
/, closing and guaranteeing the future I,s
erty Of mankind and the perpetuitv y,
our Union, there was born, in Weliinv-
ton, Shropshire, England to Mr. and
Mrs.. Samuel Cadman, son. For his
Christian name they gave him the
Christian name of his father; for his
middle name, the family name Of his
mother.
TT was an event in that English home
n that obscure English town. just as it
would have been an event in any Ameri-
can Home. None Of these who called to
fcllcltate the Cadmans upon the advent
Of that boy dreamed for an instant that
he was destined to become one of the |
worlds greatest preachers. one OF the
worlds greatest spiritual and civic
leaders, and one OF the worlds most
thoughtful and forceful writers along
no3eeted lines.
