reasonable, moderate, just and in
f1nitely considerable, never to the
dwellings Of the great came a nobler
guest.
I'VE pledge the university, whose
chief glory he was, our best and our
best to the country whose greatest
private citizen he had been for more
than a generation: we pledge to
what he loved best and most"
DR.. Gordon opened the service
with a prayer "in behalf Of students
and teachers everywhere, for all
Harvard men throughout the coun-
try and the world, as they turn at
this time in reverence and grateful
memory"
The casket was covered with
greenery from the Mount Desert Is
land hills, where DR.. Eliot found his
greatest happiness. interviewer were
crimson roses, the color Of Harvard.
Behind were ranged thousands of the
same shade sent by Harvard Clubs
throughout the country. From the
organ loft hung a Crimson banner
with its motto "Veritas."
All nations, creeds and colors and
men Of all stations were in the
gathering. Predominating were the
Fellows and members of the board
of overseers of the university, facul-
ty members-emeritus who were CO.
workers under the 40-year presiden-
cy Of DR.. Eliot, and scores Of young
er professors, now leaders in their
fields but many of whom were his
students in the college.
U. S. Senator William M. Butler,
George r. Nutter, president on the
Boston Bar Association, Adjutant
General Jesse H. Stevens, represent
ing the commonwealth, Judge Fred
erick Cabot and Herbert Parker,
former attorney general of Massa-
chusetts, were few Of the men of
public affairs present.
The congregation sang again the
old hymn most loved by DR.. Eliot,
How Happy Is He Born or Taught"
and another, 1.-THE King of Love My
Shepherd Is" Professor A. T.
Dawson played the organ recital be-
fore and at the end of the service.
Harvard had then completed its
tribute, as his neighbors did yester-
day at Northeast Harbor. The fam
lily followed the body to Mount Au-
burn cemetery, where private COM
initial services were held before
burial in the family lot. AS the
cortege left the chapel and followed
the winding paths of the yard, lined
with people with barred heads, the
new bell installed in Harvard Hall
was sounded for the first time.
1t marks a new chapter in Har-
ward llfe," passerby remarked.
