J., October 25—Decorations of orange and black were displayed every where her© to-day In honor of t h e inaugura tion of W'oodrow Wilson, a s thirteenth pres ident of Princeton University, Hundreds of graduatec of the university arrived last n i g h f and this morning and there were many , greetings between old alumni, some ) of whom had n o t met for years. There were many distinguished guests of the university. The procession formed in the University Li brary at. 10:30 and marched to Alexander Hall, w h e r e the exercises were held. B x - P r e s i d e n t Grover Cleveland, who spoke for th e trustees, said: . Mr. Cleveland’s Discourse on Higher Education. 'T fear I shall but little grace the cause of m y associates on the hoard of trustees of Princeton' University by speaking in t h e i r behalf on this occasion. I undertake the task because my plea- for exemption, and for a more promising assignm e n t of the duty, has been' denied. “ I hope I m a y be allowed to refer at the outset to the manner in which I am mov«^d , hy the sta t e l y dignity of p r e s e n t surrouncl- v:..-,Ings, and thus give a hin t of the impreseivo effect which such exercises as these are apt to produce on those who l a c k personal in t i macy with university experiences and inci dents. This thought leads me to suggest the great im p o r t a n c e and desirability of influ encing in every possible v/ay the plain peo ple of our land in favor of higher education I II .is largely from their ra n k s th a t recruits \ are to be -enlisted for studentship in our I universities and colleges: and surely neither g a t t e n u a t e d refinement in educated circles, f. nor a self satisfied aristo c r a c y among edu- ^ cated men. should m i n i s t e r p r e t to the un- 11 ^^' l e a r n e d the mission of these institutions. \M a n i f e s t l y they cannot, and even if they could, they should not live for themselves, \ nor f o r their professors and. t e a c h e r s , nor for their graduates, nor y e t for the educated, whoever, and wherever they may be. On t h e contrary,' it should never be forgotten th a t our colleges and universities cannot, with out loss of th e i r most useful opportunities, disregard any means of commending the sub sta n t i a l advantages they are able to offer to those le^s f o r t u n a t e in educational condi tion. T h i s conception of close interest and reciprocal benefit- which should exist be tween the agencies of higher education and the unlearned masses of our people, is not new a t Princeton University, in 1748, when as the College of New J e r s e y her first com m e n c e m e n t was held and h e r second presl- ,d e n t w a s inaugurated, and when as part of the exercises h e r graduating students dis puted in Latin and debated questions of theology and philosophy, the record of the occasion contained the following statement: VThus t h e first appearance of a college in New Jersey, having given general satisfac tion—even the unlearned being pleased with the ex t e r n a l solemnity and decorum which they saw —It Is hoped t h a t t h i s i n f a n t college will m e e t with duo encouragem e n t from all public spirited, generous minds, and that t h e lovers of m a n k i n d will wish Its prosperity and contribute to its s u p p o r t. G row th of College Sketched. \G r e a t changes have m a r k e d the' life of t h e College of New Jersey since h e r second pres ident was inaugurated one hundred and fifty-four years ago. The in f a n t college has grown to strong and beautiful maturity. Her roll of graduates...is resplendent r w i t h ’great nam e s ; her .trophies are bright and count less; while- t h e hosts of h e r alumni hedge h e r about with love and devotion tirelessly generous and with a defending care con stan t and vigilant. And yet to-day she still holds fast to her democratic tendencies, as und e r a new and g r e a t e r name she inaug u r a t e s her thirteenth president—again with exercises whose external solem n i t y and de corum tend to please even the unlearned, again with the hope th a t in her university advancement she will meet with due encour agem e n t from all public spirited and gener ous minds, and again hoping th a t the lovers of m a n k i n d will- wish h e r prosperity and contribute to her support. \These inauguration cerem o n i e s can hardly fail to especially im p r e s s by their sober Bigniflcance, t h o s e who as t r u s t e e s of P r i n c e ton University are charged with th e control and m a n a g e m e n t of her affairs. To-day is revived the regretful m e m o r y of severed ties, w h i c h with genuine affection and ad m i r a t i o n bound them to th e President who h a s j u s t retired after long and distinguished service; and to-day the com f o r t they have found in the hopeful prom i s e of continued u n i v e r s i t y usefulness and prosperity under a new adm i n i s t r a t i o n , is renewed. They realize in the atm o s p h e r e of this occasion, m o r e acutely than on o t h e r days, th a t It is a serious thing to be a trustee of Princeton University; and they are not unmindful of the adm o n i t i o n here given them , to seek with sincere endeavor the path th a t leads to duty and to a Just and happy acquittance from th e obligations of th e i r trust. If In this endeavor they rem e m b e r th a t their tru s t e e s h i p cannot rise above the source of its creation, they will tu r n for guidance to the m a n d a t e s of the deed or gran t under which they hold. \T h e charter of the College of New Je r sey, which still survives a s the charter of Princeton University, after reciting In the name of King George t h e Second, the action of certain of his ‘loving subjects well dis posed and public spirited citizens’ moving him thereto, declared t h a t the King did thereby ‘will, ordain, g r a n t and constitute th a t there be a college erected In our said province of New Jersey, for the education of youth in the learned languages and In the liberal arts and sciences.* This Is a complete statement, and th e only state ment contained in the charter, which defines the purposes and objects of the Incorpora tion; and ever .lince t h is c h a r t e r was gran t ed its identical descriptive words have been used whenever In any law', proclamation or proceeding those purposes and objects have been mentioned* There h a s positively been no extension or modification of these char tered powers; but an act of the Legislature passed in 1864, which should be regarded Es i n t e r p r e t i n g t h e ch a r t e r i n s t e a d of a mend ing it. contains the following provision: ‘That the design and object of the said cor poration is hereby declared to be the pro motion of religion and th e advancement of learplng by the instruction of youth In re- ligloiis tru t h as well as in the learned lan guages and in liberal a r t s and sciences; asd that the said corporation shall 'always be an Institutior for the purposes specified I in this act.’ U seful A g e n c y in Service of God an d H u m a n ity. \If with this enactment, and the words of the ch a r t e r already granted, we read the fu r t h e r provision of that in s t r u m e n t against excluding any person of a n y religious denom i n a t i o n whatsoever, from free and equal liberty and advantage of education, or from any of the liberties, privileges or immunities of said college, on account of his or th e i r being of a religious profession different from the trustees of said college, we s h a l l easily discover the chartered liniita- n o n s of Princeton University and the funda m e n t a l obligations she now owes to the law of her existence. It t h u s appears th a t those responsible for our university’s m a n a g e r a e u t , either as trustees or' t e a c h e r s , are not only charged with the duty of bestowing without discrimination upon the youth committed to their . k e e p i n g instruction in the learned languages and in the liberal a r t s and sciences, but t h a t t h e y are not less distinctly charged with the further duty of teaching them such lessons of piety and religion, as shall prom o te their moral welfare, and con stitu t e their education a thoroughly useful agency In the service of God and hum a n i t y . Every detail of our university’s ad m i n i s t r a tion, every effort and duty required of her teachers, and every task or exaction placed upon her students, should be e.xplicitly in aid of t h e s e great ends. \T h e proud distinction which Princeton has earned by im p a r ti n g thorough schol arship, by leading her students in the way of Christian faith, and by t e a c h i n g t h e m les sons of true manliness and genuine con scientious honor, amply dem o n s t r a t e s th a t she has not been recreant to her mission. 2>lor has she wavered in the conviction th a t her duty to those within her care dem a n d s not only class room instruction, and not onlj’ religious precepts and teachings, but th a t to the utmost possible exten t there should exist between Instructors and s t u dents the personal touch and confidence, the m u t u a l attach m e n t and the in t e r e s t and solicitude on t h e part of t e a c h e r s concerning ! all th a t pertains to the welfare of the stu- j dent, which by wholesome influence and ex- j ample form student character, stren g t h e n | good intentions, and in all the days a f t e r 1 graduation remain a grateful recollection, ! an inspiration to useful endeavor, and an | earnest of* good citizenship. I \T h u s the past, at least, of Princeton is | safe. Is there not, however, a j u s t i f i c a t i o n ! for the suggestion th a t if we arc to aiiticl- i pate a full measure of f u t u r e success, of s u c h | a quality as we now happily recall, there j may be tem p t a t i o n s to be resisted and sc- | ductlvo influences to be avoided? • Chief V irtue of P rinceton Is C o n serva tism . \W e have fallen upon days of ru s h and change—when old ideas and processes- are deemed too slow to meet the dem a n d s of v h a t is called modern progress, and when novel and accelerated notions have invaded the business,-the politics, t h e social life, and even the religion of our people. How can we be certain th a t old and heretofore ap proved theories of higher education are in no danger of being caught in this flurry? A l ready there seems to be an inclination abroad to adjust the mcthod.s of university and college i n s t r u c t i o n to t h e ap p a r e n t needs of advanced conditions and new exigencies. We h e a r much said in f avor of b u t slight r e striction upon the election by stu d e n t s ot the branches of study they will pursue; it is often asserted th a t the old course of col lege study is too long, and th a t stu d e n t s arc thus belated in t h e i r entrance upon life’s ac tivities and considerable discussion prevails in university and college circles concerning the exten t and quality of instruction th a t should be afforded in p r e p a r a t o r y schools. \P r i n c e t o n ' s conservatism is one of her chief virtues; but it is n o t . o f the stubborn so r t th a t refuses consideration of changes which prom ise through t h e i r i n h e r e n t and in dependent m e r i t b e t t e r educational results and b e t t e r prospects in life for those in t r u s t ed to her care. It should not, however, be expected th a t she will so far disregard the law of her origin, and become so unm i n d f u l of her revered traditions and splendid achievem e n t s as to dep a r t from her h a b i t u a l course for the sake of acting in sym p a t h y with im p o r t u n a t e restlessness and doubtful Innovation. \W e of Princeton are still w i l l i n g ' to de clare our belief, th a t we are b e t t e r able to determ i n e than those coming to us for education, w h a t is their most advantageous course of instruction; and surely every phase of our history justifies this belief* We are, however, by no m e a n s unwilling to so shape our curriculum, without surrender of clear conviction, as to expedite o u r g r a d u a t e ’s subsequent preparation for profes sional life. We a r e not yet convinced th a t the tim e required for our ordinary term of undergraduate study is too long, or th a t It unnecessarily and unprofitably retard s the useful service expected of a genuinely edu cated man. W e rem e m b e r th a t of th e four graduates of Princeton who have heretofore been called to her presidency, and have worthily and honorably filled the office, one graduated a t the age of 20, and another when still younger. Nor are we g r e a t l y dis turbed by the course of study pursued a t preparatory schools. Although in the in- : terest of higher education, we are solicitous th a t p r e p a r a t o r y study should be wisely di rected, and are willing to adm i t to advanced m a t r i c u l a t i o n when justified by advanced preparation, we are still ready, as we have always been, to receive for our college course all who come to us from any q u a r t e r and satisfy the test of our entrance exam i nation. E fforts for H ig h e s t U n iv e rsity W o rk. \While therefore, as has been already intim a t e d , Princeton will not be l e f t behind in any real and effective educational a d vance th a t falls within the lim i t a t i o n s of her mission, and while she will prom p t l y avail herself of opportunities which more completely fill the scope and area of her in structional responsibilities, all will be done .'.solely-to the end th a t she may. with the best effect. J.each the learned languages, the liberal a r t s and sciences and religious tru t h . Wc do n o t give to these words a narrow and too literal m e a n i n g ; but we hold th a t when broadly and fairly interpreted, they not' only fix the direction and quality of P r i n c e t o n ’s chartered endeavor, but also de fine a service serious enough and com p r e hensive enough to engage always, and in all circum s t a n c e s , the highest and best univer sity work. \If new born impatience should ever d e mand a sw i f t e r educational current, and be content with its shaHower depth, and if the solid and substantial acquirem e n t we offer should ever be discredited as unnecessarily irksome, Princeton will remember th a t men educated long ago In accordance w i t h her methods, are still teachers of the present generation; and th a t the lives they led, the students they fitted for instructors, and the records they l e f t of t h e i r wisdom, are to this day dutifully acknowledged as undiminished forces in higher education, wherever i t has a standing place. \W e will not be convinced th a t the hum a n mind has in - t h e s e latter days become so fundam e n t a l l y enlarged th a t a broad and useful education can by some p l e a s a n t process be easily-gained, nor t h a t t h e a c u t e ness of the human intellect has so kept pace with the eager hurry of the tim e th a t with no toil or patient wooing an educa tion w o r t h having can be bought or seized and forced to do service In a vain-glorious and trifling pretense of erudition. If false educational notions should prevail. P r i n c e ton will bide her time until they are spent and until saner judgm e n t shall recognize her conscientious obedience to the dem a n d s of her c h a r t e r compact and gratefully a p preciate h e r devotion to the bright standard which for m o r e th a n a century and a half she has held aloft on the field where higher education has been courageous and tri umphant. Princeton In v ites Increased Kesponsi- bilities. \She has greater university effort and op portunity awaiting her; and without fear or misgiving she invites her increased respon- sibilltici?. In a l a r g e r sphere of educational duly her ideals wjll not change. Enlarged obligations will not lead her away from practical and useful obedience to the law of her birth, nor cause her to forget the way marked out by her cherished traditions. Still teaching the learned languages, the liberal ari.s and sciences and religious truth, she will continue to illu s t r a t e her devotion to the cause of higher education by fitting those who come to her for instruction to live useful lives and by preparing them for the highest and best service in the ad vancem e n t of Christian civilization and the cultivation of conscientious American citizenship. \T h u s will our university fullfill her m i s sion; and thus will she always shed far abroad t h e steady light of her beneficence. \It m u s t uot bo suspected that those for whom I speak overlook for a moment the fact t h a t the word “tru s t e e \ imports a rela tionship to business affairs. On the con trary. they have this so fully in mind, that they are willing to rely very largely for the realization of what they hope and desire for Princeton upon the application of correct business principles and methods to her m a n agement. They believe th a t her instructors should exhibit in th e i r work the same assi duity and interest as are found necessary in the world of business: and they believe it Is one -'f t h e duties of t h e i r trusteeship to cx- Includo w i t h i n their scope, when complete, | schools of law, of medicine, of theology, and | of those m o r e recondite mechanic arts, such • as the use of electricity, upon which the : skilled industry of t h e modern world is built ■ up: and. though in dwelling upon such an j association of schools as of (he gist of the m a t t e r in o u r definitions of a university, we ' are relying upon historical accidents rather than upon essc:Uial principles for our con ceptions. they arc accidents which show the happy order and system with which things often come to pass. Though the university may dispense with profe.ssional schools, pro- fes.slonal schools m a y not di.spen.se with the university. Professional .schools have no where t h e i r r i g h t atm o s p h e r e and association except where they a r c p a n s of a university and share its spirit and method. They m u s t love learning as well as professional success in order to have tholr perfect usefulness. This is not the verdict of ilm universities merely, but of the professional men th e m selves. spoken out of hard experience of the facts of business. “ T h e managing m i n d s of the world, even the ofiicient working minds of the world, m u s t be equipped for a mastery whoso chief ch a r a c t e r i s t i c is adaptability, play, an initi ative which transcends the bounds of more technical training. Technical schools whose training is not built up on the foundations of a broad and general discipline cannot im part this. T h e stuff they work upon must, be prepared for them by processe.s which produce fiber and elasticity, and their own methods m u s t be shot through with the im pulses of the university. \ I t Is thl.s that m a k e s our age and our task so interesting; this complex interde pendence and intorrelatic-nship of all the : I I ^ I PE E S ID E N T WOODBOW W ILSON Of Princeton University.

They also believe th a t the student body should m a k e a business of study; and that the discipline of t h e university should u n r e lentingly require this—to th e end that the reasonable expectations of those who have Intrusted them to our care and tuition m a y not be defeated. “ While they concede t h a t a liberal am o u n t of recreation should be allowed and that athletics to a reasonable degree should be encouraged, they believe t h e s e things should be kept in strict subordination to the busi ness of education, which both teachers and students have, ill hand; and th a t when c.x- tonslve dem e r i t or a large percentage of absolute failure in exam i n a t i o n s prevail among those devoting much tim e and atten tion to athletics, a suspicion should be aroused th a t the business of study has been thus interrupted. Cleveland C o n g ratulates New President. “ My concluding words shall bo those ot congratulation and assurance. How can Princeton’s trustees do otherwise than to heartily congratulate them s e lves and the university upon the i n a u g u r a t i o n as her pres ident ot one of her sons, whose career has ■ c o n s t a n t ly reflected honor upon his alm a mater, and whoso notable successes and achievements have all been won under the inspiration of the true Princeton spirit.

His s u c cess as president will be our joy as trustees, and neither he nor we can desire, a wider op- nortunitv for pride and satisfaction than the consciousness that we are sincerely and faithfully laboring together to accomplish Princeton’s mission, and h a v e , appreciated the high-duty and impressive sip i f i c a n c e of instructing the youth of our land in the iGa^ned ifasuageB, in the liberal arts and sciences and in religious t r u t h . Woodrow Wilson in his inaugural address said: President W ilson’s Inaugural Address. \Six ysars ago I hud the honor of stand- inc in this place to speak of the memories with which Princeton men heartened themselves as they looked back a century and a half to the founding of their col- lece To-day my task is more delicate, more difficult. Standing here in the light of t h o s e older days, we m u s t now assess our nresent purposes and powers and sketch the c ? L d by which wo shall be willing to live i ^ t h e days to come We are but men n «?inelo eencration in the long life of fn in s t U u t l o f which shall still be young A e n we are dead, but while we live her life is in us. W h a t we conceive she con ceives In planning for Princeton, m o r e over we are planning for t h e country. The service of institutions of learning is not nrivate but public. It is plain w h a t the na- Uon n e i d s as i t s affairs grow more and more complex and Us interests begin to touch the ends of the earth. It needs efficient and fnUgluened men. The universities of the country m u s t take p a r t in supplj ing them. \Am e r i c a n universities serve a tree n a tion whose progress, whose power, whose prospcrltv. whose happiness, whose integrity depend upon individual initiative and the sound ^ n s e and equipment of t h e rank and file Their history, moreover, has set them apart to a character and service of t h e i r own. They arc not mere sem inaries of scholars. They never can be. Most of t h e m , t h e g r e a t est of t h e m and the most distinguished, were first of all great colleges before they be came universities; and t h e i r t a s k is ttvofold: the production of a great body of informed and thoughtful men and the production of a small body of trained scholars and investi gators. These two functions are not to bo performed separately, but side by side, and arc to be informed with one s p i r i t , t h e spirit of enliglucnraent. a spirit of l e a r n i n g which is neither superficial nor pedantic, which values life more t h a n it values the mere a c quisitions of the mind. W h a t th e U n iversity R e a lly Is. \Universities we have learned to think, processes which prepare the mind for effec tual service: this necessity that the m e r chant and the financier should have traveled minds, the engineer a knowledge of books and men, the lawyer a wide view of affairs, Uie physician a fam i li a r acquaintance with the abstract d a t a . of science, ai^d th a t the closeted scholar him s e l f should throw his windows open to the four quarters of the world. Every considerable undertaking has come to be based on knowledge, on thought fulness. on the m a s t e r f u l handling of men and facts. The university must stand in the midst, where the r o a d s of thought and knowl edge interlace and cross, and. building upon some coign of vantage, command them all. G ained in Knowledge, b u t Lost in S y s tem . \ I t has happened t h a t throughout two long generations—long because filled with iho in dustrial and social transform a t i o n of the world—the thought of studious men has been bent upon devising methods by which special aptitudes could be developed, de tailed i n v estigations carried forward, inquiry at once broadened and deepened to meet the scientific needs of the age. knowledge ex tended and made various and yet exact by the m i n u t e and p a r t i c u l a r re»oarches of men who devoted all the energies of their minds to a single task. And so we have gained much, though we have also l o st mucli th a t m u s t be recovered. We have gained immensely in knowledge, but we have lost system. The world ot learning has been transformed. No study has stood still. Scholars have won th e i r fame, n o t by e r u dition, but by exploration, the conquest of new territory, the addition of Infinite d e tail to the map of knowledge. And so wo have gairmd a splendid proficiency in in vestigation. We know the right methods of advanced study. \P r o b a b l y no one is to b lame f o r t h e n e g l e e t of the general into which wc have been led by our eager pursuit of t h e particular. Every age has lain under the reproach of doing but one thing at a time, of having some one signal object for the sake of which other things were slighted or ignored. But the plain fact is t h a t wc have so spread and d i versified t h e scheme of knowledge in our day that it has lost coherence. We have dropped the threads of system in our teaching. And system begins at the beginning. We m u s t find the common term for college and u n i versity. and those who have great colleges at the heart of the universities they are tr y ing to develop are under a special compulsion to find it. Learning is not divided. Its king dom and government are centered, u n i tary single. The processes of instruction which fit a large body of young men to servo their generation with powers released and fit for great tasks ought' also to serve as the initial processes by which scholars and in vestigators arc made. They ought to be but the first parts of the method by which the crude force of untrained men Is reduced to the expert uses of civilization. There may come a day when general study will be no part of the function of a university, when it shall have been handed over, as some now talk of handing it over, to the secondary schools after the German fashion; but th a t day will not be ours, and I, for one, do not wish to see it come. H u m a a Spirit N o t th e Pedantic. \T h e age has hurried us. has shouldered us out of the old ways, has bidden us be moving and look to the cares of a practical generation; and we have suffered ourselves to be a little disconcerted. No doubt we were once pedants. It is a happy thing t h a t the days have gone by wiien the texts wo studied loomed bigger to oiir view t h a n the hum a n ^spirit t h a t underlay them. But there are some principles of which wc m u s t not let go. We must not lose sight of th a t fine conception of a general training which led our fathers, in the days when men knew how to build great states, to build great colleges also to sustain them. The college Is not for the m a j o r it y who carry forward the common labor of t h e world, n o r oven for those who work a t the skilled handicrafts which m u l t i ply t h e conveniences and the luxuries of the complex modern life. It^is for t h e minority who plan, who conceive, who superintend, who mediate between group and group and m u s t see the wide stage as a whole. \Dem o c r a t i c nations m u s t be served in this wise no less t h a n those whose leaders are chosen by birth and privilege; and the college is no less democratic because it Is for those who play a special part. I know that there are men of genius who play t h e s e parts of captaincy and yet have never been in the class rooms of a college, whose only school has been the world itaeJf. “ T h e r e a r c two ways of preparing a young man for his life work. One is to give him the skill and special knowledge which shall make a good tool, an excellent bread-winning tool, of him; and for t h o u s a n d s of young men that, way m u s t be followed. It Is a good way. But it Is not for the college, and it never can be. The college should seek to make the men whom it receives something more than excellent serv a n t s of a trade or skilled practitioners of a profession. Itshould g ive them elasticity of faculty and breadth of vision, so that they shall have a .surplus of mind to expend, not upon their profession only, for i ts liberalization and enlargement, but also upon the b r o a d e r Interests which lie about them, in t h e spheres in which they a r e t o be, not bread w i n n e r s merely, but citi zens as well, and in th e i r own hoari.s, where they are to grow to the sta t u r e of real no bility. It Is this free capital of mind the world m o s t stands !n need of—this free cap ital th a t awaits in v e s t m e n t in undertakings, spiritual as well as m a t e r i a l , which advance the r a c e and help all m e n to a bettor life. \And are we t o do th i s great thing by tho old discipline of Greek, Latin, m a t h c m a i i c s and English? The day has gone by when th a t is possible. The circle of liberal studios is too much enlarged, the are a of general learning Is loo much extended, to m a k e It any l o n g e r possible t o m a k e t h e s e few t h i n g s stand for all. Science has opened a new world of learning, as g r e a t as the old. The influence of science has broadened and t r a n s formed old t h emes of study and created new, and all the boundaries of knowledge are altered. C lassical L a n g u a g e s as Good Discipline. \An age of science has transm u t e d specu lation into knowledge and doubled the dominion of the mind. Heavens and earth swing together in a new universe of knowledge. And so It is impossible th a t the old discipline should stand alone to serve us as an education. With it alone we should get no introduction into the modern world either of t h o u g h t or of affairs. The mind of the m o d e r n student m u s t be carried through a wide range of studies in which science .shall have a place not less distinguished th a n th a t accorded litera ture. philosophy or politics. \B u t wo must observe proportion and re m e m b e r w h a t it Is th a t we seek. We sock in our general education, not universal knowledge, but the opening up of the mind to a catholic appreciation of tho best achievem e n t s of men and the best pro cesses of t h o u g h t since days of thought sot in. We seek to apprise young men of what has been settled and made sure of. of the thinking th a t has been carried through and made an end of. Wo seek to set ihera se curely 'forward at th e point a t which the mind of the race has definitively arrived, and save them the trouble of attem p t i n g the journey over again. \The classical languages of antiquity af ford b e t t e r discipline and a r e a more indis pensable means of .cu l t u r e than any lan guage of our own day except the language, the Intim a t e language, of our own thought, which is for us universal coin of exchange in the intellectual world and must have its values determined to a'* nicety before we pay it out. No modern language is definite, classically made up. Modern tongues, moreover, carry the .. modern babel of voices. \The claslcal litera t u r e s give us, in tones and with an au t h e n t i c accent we can no where else hear, the thoughts of an age we cannot visit. They contain airs of a time not our own. unlike our own, and yet its foster parent. To these things was the modern thinking world first bred. We shall not anywhere else g e t a substitute for it. The modern mind has been built upon that culture and t h e r e is no authentic equivalent. \Drill in the inathemat!c« stands in the sam e category with fam i li a r knowledge of the thought and speech of classical antiqui ty. because in them also wo get the lifelong accepted discipline of the race, the processes of pure reasoning which lie at once at the basis of science and at the basis of phlloiijo- phy, grounded upon observation and physi cal fact and yet ab s t r a c t and of the very stuff of the essential processes of the mind, a bridge between reason and nature. U n d e rgraduate In s tr u c tio n N ecessary for H ig h e r Research. ‘T should dread to see those who guide special study and research altogether ex cused from undergraduate i n s t r u c t i o n , should dread to see them w i t h d r a w themselves al together from the broad and general survey of the subjects of which they have sought to make themselves masters. I should equal ly despair of seeing any student made a tru l y serviceable specialist who had not turned to his specialty in the spirit of a broad and catholic learning—unless, indeed, h e were one of t h o s e rare spirits who once and again appear am o n g us, whose peculiar, individual privilege U Is to have safe vision of but a little segm e n t of truth and yet keep their poise and reason. It is not the education that concentrates that is to he dreaded, but the education th a t narrows— th a t Is narrow from the first. I should wish to see every student made, not a man of his task, but a m a n of the world, w h a t ever his world may be. W h a t we seek in ed ucation is a full liberation of the faculties and the man who ha.s not some surplus of thought and energy to expend outside the narrow circle of his own task and interest is a dwarfed, uneducated man. \In our attempt to escape the pedantry and narrowness of the old fixed curriculum, we have, no doubt, gone so far as to be in danger of losing the old ideal.s. Our u t i l i tarianism has carried us so far afield that we are in a fair way to forget the real utilities of the mind. No doubt the old. purely literary train i n g made too much of the development of m e r e taste, mere delicacy of perception, but our modern training makes too little. \The problems t h a t call for sober t h o u g h t fulness nad mere devotion are as pressing as those which call for practical efficiency. Wc are here not merely to release t h e facul ties of men for th e i r own use, but also to quicken their social understanding, instruct their consciences and give t h e m the catholic vision of those who know' t h e i r j u s t relations to their fellow men. H e r e in America, for every man touched with nobility, for every man touched with tho spirit of our in s t i t u tions, social service Ls t h e high law of duly, and every American u n i v e r s U / m u s t square its .standards by th a t law or lack its na tional title. It is serving the nation to give men the enlightenm e n t s of a general tra i n ing; it i.s serving the nation to equip fit men for thorough scientific investigation and for the tasks of exact scholarship, for science and schoiar.ship c a r r y the truth forward from generation to generation and give the cer tain touch of knowledge to the processes of life. ' T inal Synthesis of L e a rn in g Is i n P h i l osophy. \The? final synthesis of learning is in phi losophy. You shall m o s t clearly judge tho spirit of a university if you judge it by the philosophy it teaches; and the philosophy of conduct is what every wise man should wish to derive from his knowledge of the t h o u g h ts and the affairs of the generations that have gone before him. We are not put into this world to sit still and know; wc are put into it to act. \It is true that In order to learn men must for a little while withdraw’ from action, must seek some quiet place of remove from the bustle of affairs, where their thoughts may run clear and tranquil, and the heats of business be for t h e tim e put off; but that cloistered refuge is no place to dream in. I do not see how any university can afford such an outlook if its teachings be not in formed with the sp i r i t of religion, and that the religion of Christ, and with the energy of a positive faith. The argum e n t for effi ciency In education can have no permanent validity if the efficiency sought bo not moral as weli a s intellectual. A merely literary ed ucation, got out of books and old literature, is a poor thing enough if the teacher stick ; at gram m a t i c a l and syntactical drill; but if it bo indeed an introduction into the t h o u g h t ful labors of men of all generations It may be made the prologue to the m i n d ’s em a n c i pation—Its emancipation from narrowness— from narrownc.ss of sym p a t h y , of perception, of motive, of purpo.se and of hope. And the deep fountains of Christian teaching arc Us most r e fr e s h i n g springs. I have studied the history of .America; I have seen her grow great in the pathe of lib erty and of progress by following after great ideals. Every concrete thing that she has done has seemed to r i s e out of some abstract principle, some vision of the mind. Her ■ greatest vict<yies have been the victories ' of peace and of humanity. And in dayM | quiet and troubled alike. Princeton has stood for the nation’s service, to produce men and patriots. \A new age is before us. in which, it would seem, we m u s t load the world.
