II fear he said "that the community
is not vet aroused To the danger that
the career of the productive teacher,
scholar and scientist shall go fall away
in its attractiveness to men sof high
quality that our universities may pres
emily be largely stated by inferior in
dividuals. Certainly the war taught
the public the value of university men
and university training with n thor
oughness which nothing else ccod have
done, and they have shown their an
probation somewhat paradoxically by
drafting for business and indus+rinl
service many of our leading university
teachers, while at the same time thev
have sent their children into the col
leges in numbers never before known
AS consequence the unprec edented
growth Of our institutions Of higher
education has created demand for
teachers with which our present facili-
ties are wholly inadequate to cone"
Dr. Angel declared the day had long
SINCE passed when any educational in
stieuIlon could hope to monopolize the
junction of national representation
How many more students than are
now enrolled Yale can properly serve

put IN any event ] am sure that in
proposing to augment the number of
young men from distant states quality
and not quantity should be the domi-
nant consideration"
Speaking of the undergraduate col
lege of to-day, President Angel said it
was under a vigorous crossfre from
those who, on the one hand, fear that
1T is deserving the ideals of liberal cul-
ture, and from those, on the other
hand, who desire that it should become
an institution of more definitely voca-
tional character, Another instance, he
said, of the necessity for thoughtful
! adjustment to new conditions was
found in the attempt wisely to control
student attendance.
Cherishes Ideals of Sacrifice
He urged the graduating class to hold
high the ideals for which men gave
their lives in the World War.
The summons to-day is no longer
the bugle call to war" he said, "but
the relentless command to enter upon
the hard task of bringing back a dis
tracted world to ways of sanity and
peace"
In his induction address DR. Hadley
declared that the great universities of
the future must be made wise through
the example both of Berlin and of Ok
ford, and learn to combine what was
good in each. Berlin had pursued eff
ticiency to the point of neglecting
ideals, he said, while Oxford had pur-
sued spiritual ideals to the point of
undertaking efficiency.
