In the procession, which formed In the university library, and marched to Alexander hall, in Which was held the literary exercises, ex-President Cleveland and Governor Murphy, President-elect Wilson, and the retiring president, the Rev. F. J. Patton, the Rev. Henry Van Dyke, and Bishops Scarborough and Satterlee, formed the first division.

Ex-President Cleveland in his address, aid: The new president, Woodrow Wilson, said: of the College. Ex-President Cleveland's Views. "Surely neither attenuated'refinement In educated circles, nor a satisfied aristocracy among educated men, should misinterpret to the unlearned the-mission of these Institutions. It should never be forgotten that our colleges and universities cannot, without loss of their most useful opportunities, disregard any means, of commending the substantial advantages they are ahle to offer to those less fortunate in educational condition. "We have fallen upon days of rush and changewhen old Ideas and processes are deemed too slow to meet the demands of what is called modern progress and when novel and accelerated notions have invaded the business, the polities, the social life and even the religion of our people.

How can we be certain that old and heretofore approved theories of education are no danger of- being caught in this flurry? Already to bo an inclination to adjust the methods of university and college instruction to the apparent needs of advanced conditions and new exigencies. We hear much said In favor of but slight restriction upon the election by students of the branches of study they will pursue it is often asserted that the old course of college" study is too long and that students are thus belated in their entrance upon -life's activities. "We of Princeton are stlU willing to declare, our. belief, that we aire better able to determine than those coming to us for education, what their most advantageous course of instruction. We are, however, by no means unwilling to so shape our eirrriculum without fciirrend-et- of clear jqnvletfor our graduates" professional jife.

viheed that the ordinary term of undergraduate study? is too long, or that It unnecessarily profltably retards the useful service expected of a genuinely educated man. "We will not be convinced that the human mind has in these latter days become so fundamentally enlarged that a broad and useful education can by some pleasant process be easily gained, nor that the acuteness of the human intellect has so kept pace with the eager hurry of the time that with no toll or patient wooing an education worth having can be JJought or seized and forced to do service in a vainglorious and trifling pretense of erudition. If false educational" notions should prevail, Princeton will bide her time until they are spent and until saner Judgment shall recognize her conscientious obedience to the demands of her charter compact, and gratefully appreciate her devotion to the bright standard which for more than a century and a half she has held aloft on the field where higher education has been courageous and triumph- ant." Woodrow Wilson's Address. "The task of the universities Is twofold: the production of a great, body of informed and thoughtful men and a small body of trained scholars and investigators. Though the university may dispense with the professional the professional schools may not dispense with tine university.

Technical schools whose training is not built up on the foundations of a broad and general discipline cannot impart this. "The age has hurried us, but we must not lose sight of that fine conception of a geheral training which led our fathers to build great colleges. The college Is for the minority, -who plan, -who conceive, Who superintend, who mediate and must see the wide stage as a whole. There are men of genius who play these parts of captaincy and yet have never been in the classroom of a college, whose only school has been the world itself.

The world is an excellent school for those who have vision and self-discipline enough to use it. It is this sweep of life that we wish to bring to young men by the shorter processes of the college, for every man who plays a leading or conceiving part in any affair, must somehow get this schooling. In colleges we must deal with the spirits of men, not with their fortunes. Jn history, philosophy, science and literature, the experiences of the world are summed' up arid if we be not pedants, we extract from them the edification and enlightenment as of those who have gone the long Journey of experience with the race." Speaking--of the "disciplinary" studies through which a boy is put in his school days, President Wilson said the classical languages of antiquity offered better discipline than any language of the present day except the language of our own thought. Drill In mathematics stands in the same category, and the English Is also of the fundamental group of studies.

"But fundamental studies have widened in our day, chiefly because science has had its credentials accepted as of the true patriciate of learning, and it is as necessary that the lad should be inducted into the thinking of the modern time as it Is that he should be carefully grounded In the old. Undoubtedly the fundamental sciences are physics, chemistry and biology. Physics and chemistry afford a systematic body of knowledge as abundant for instruction, as definite almost, as mathematics Itself and biology, young as it is, has already supplied us with a scheme of physical life which lifts its study to the place of a distinctive discipline. And there stand alongside of these geology and astronomy, whose part in general culture, aside from their connection with physics, mechanics and chemistry, is to apply to the mina the stimulation which comes from being brought into the presence and in some sort int othe comprehension of stupendous, systematized physical fact. "No doubt we must make choice among them, and suffer the pupil himself to make choice.

But the choice that we make must be the chief choice, the choice the pupil makes the subordinate choice." The speaker said he would wish to ae every student made, not a man of hla task, but a man of a world, whatever his world may be. "So soon as generous friends have arranged their finances so as to enable them to release enough money for the purpose, it is the Intention to build a graduate college, which will be not only a body ot teachers and students, bur also a college of residence, where men shall Jive together in close, and wholesome comradeship ot learning a comradeship for the novice as well as the graduate." In conclusion, President Wilson said every concrete thing America has done has seemed to rise out of some abstract principle, some vision of the mind. Her greatest victories have been the victories of peace and of. humanity. And in days quiet and troubled alike, Princeton has stoood for, the nation's service, to produce men and patriots.

There is no doubt that Mr. Tarkington proved himself a decided, failure in his new line. He admits it himself, and during the balance of his campaign for the legislature, where he desires: to sent the republican party, he will let the other men do the talking. Tarkington's initial bow Into politics took place at a fire engine house, the crowd being people of his own ward. Tarkington had been much inquired for during the campaign, but had been out of the city most of the time.

The committee insisted that he appear. The failure of Tarkington in his effort make a speech was laughable not only to himself but to his friends.

I don't think they will ask me to repeat this effort." Asked at the after the meeting what he had said in his speech, Tarkington said to a friend: "I want to be perfectly frank with you I did not say a thing. I. knew I was going to when I got up. I had the stage fright and I knew just what was coming, but there was no getting out of it. I like this thing of being in politics, all but the speaking."
