be hoped she will not be a woman killed by kindness. She is unique. There is only one thing rarer than genius and that is radium. She illus trates the combination of both."
 Tn presenting pr. Angell. the pro- lessor said:
 Son of a great college president and ideally prepared to be one him. self. He has a thorough un- derstanding of Americas needs in higher education and profound sym pathy with Yale sentiment. In choosing pr. Angell as president Yale has gone back to her earliest traditions, and as was the case with her first five presidents, has taken a graduate of another institution. It was not until 1766 that a. Yale grad uate became president. Instead of having been a Yale man he has spent his life preparing to be one."

 pr. Hadley Speaks.
 Never did the office of president bring with it greater burdens and re- responsibilities than it does today. The whole system of education is chang ing. New and vastly multiplied de- mands are made upon our teaching forces. We must do our part in so educating the nation as a whole that it's members may be efficient in their several callings. and may at the same time be animated by those ideals which make for unselfish conduct. He who would take the lead in this work must himself be efficient and must himself be animated by spiritual ideals"
 Turning directly to pr. Angell. the president said:
 May God give you strength so to discharge the trust which you now receive, that when it comes your turn to transfer the office to your successor you will leave Yale more honored by the world for what you have taught her to do and more loved by her children for what you have helped her to be. Confident in this hope we salute you as our president"
 ITO you sir. we look for this leadership with a feeling of assurance and confidence, strong in the belief that in you the university will have an executive mindful of the tradi- tions ofthe past and at the same time ready to meet the obligations of the present and possible complications of the future

 No miracles mark the transition rom the old to the new, yet 1t is clear ly apparent that the education, the sciences and the arts of the civilized world have gradually undergone pro- found changes. The function and scope O ia university today are vastly more complex than even generation ago. It must be saturated with the vigor of youth seasohed by age: it must be pre- pared to deal with a diversity of problems undreamed of even by our immediate predecessors, it's president | must be a leader to whom faculties and students alike can look for in- spiration and guidance. President Lowell Also The welcome for other institutions of learning was by President Abbott Lawrence Lowell. of Harvard univer- | sity. He said. in part:
