EN RAL CATALOG n OF THE CENTRE COLLEGE OF KENTUCKY 1890. DANVILLE: THE KENTUCKY ADVOCATE PKIXTINCl COMPANY. 1890. Preface. In the preparation of this Catalogue great difficulty was met with in obtain- ing the requisite material, and such imperfections as occur are due to causes beyond the control of the compiler and not to want of effort on his part. Ina- bility to find persons having the desired information in some cases, and unwillingness or neglect to reply to inquiries on the part of persons addressed in others, are the chief reasons for any failures that may exist. The compiler takes this occasion to thank those persons who have asisted him in the work, and especially Dr. L. B. Todd, of Lexington, and Mrs. G. H. Rout, of Versailles, without whose assistance even the present attempt would have failed of realization. Any information in regard to " missing links," or any correction of mistakes will be thankfully received and acknowledged if sent to the Librarian of the College. Danville, Ky., June 1, 1890. Sketch of the College. Centre College was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky in 1819. Rev. Jeremiah Chamberlain, D. D., first President, went into office in 1823. In 1824, the Board of Trustees, according to an arrangement with the Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky, procured an Act of the Legislature, modifying its charter,, so as to secue to the Synod, on its payment of $20,000 to the funds of the Insti- tution, the right of appointing the Board of Trustees. This condition having been completely fulfilled on the part of the Synod in 1830, since that period all the members of the Board have been appointed by that Synod, as their terms of office, from time to time, have expired. One-third of the Board are appointed each year. Dr. Chamberlain resigned his office in 1826, and the Rev. Gideon Black- burn, D. D., succeeded him in 1828, the office having, in the meantime, been, temporarily filled by the Rev. David C. Proctor. On the resignation of Dr. Blackburn in 1830, Rev. John C. Young, D. D., was elected. Dr. Young died in office June 23, 1857, and on the 6th of August following. Rev. L. W. Green, D. D., was elected his successor, and entered upon his duties January 1, 1858. Dr. Green died in office May 26, 1863, and on the 16th of October following. Rev. William L. Breckinridge, D. D., was elected President. He accepted the 29th of the same month, and immediately entered upon the duties of his office. These he continued to discharge until his resignation, Avhich occurred October 16, 1868. Prof. 0. Beatty, LL. D., at that time Vice-President, was requested to discharge the duties of President until a successor to Dr. Breckinridge should be appointed. He continued to act in this capacity until the Board of Trustees elected him President, September 1, 1870. But by the laws of the Institution a permanent instructor could not be appointed by less than a two-thirds vote of the entire Board ; and less than this number were present at the meeting at which he was elected President. His election was unanimously confirmed on June 24, 1873. He had been discharging the duties of his office since the resig- nation of his predecessor. Dr. Beatty tendered his resignation of the office of President to the Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in Danville, June 15, 1886. But as the Board failed to secure a successor at this meeting, it requested Dr. B. to withdraw his resignation for the time. The tehder was renewed to the Board, which met, at the call of the Chairman, in Lexington, November 30,. 1886, and was accepted, " to take effect upon the qualification of his successor."' 4 ,SKETc;ir of the college. Unsuccessful efforts were made to secure a President, until Rev. W. C. Young, D. D., the son of the distinguished former President, Dr. John C. Young, was unanimously elected, June 19, 1888, and Dr. B. was formally released from his official duties. Dr. Young promptly accepted the ofRce, and entered upon his duties at the opening of the next term, September 5, 1888. Centre College is thus shown to be one of the oldest institutions of learn- ing in Kentucky, or in the South or West, having sent out its first graduating class in 1824. It has been prosecuting its work successfully, and without inter- ruption, from that day to this. Not a year has passed that it has not sent its graduates into the field. The last Triennial Catalogue shows the entire number of its Alumni to the present time to be nearly 1,000. Among these are more than 300 lawyers, nearly 200 ministers of the Gospel, and 80 physicians, and the remainder are found in various professions and callings. Among the Alumni are many, both of the living and the dead, who have greatly distin- guished themselves in their respective professions, and have attained the highest positions of honor and trust, especially throughout the South and West, where they chiefly reside, or where they did reside while they lived. Centre College has educated 19 College Presidents, 41 College Professois, 14 Representatives in Congress, 4 United States Senators, 5 Governors of States, 1 Vice-President of the United States, 1 Justice of the United States Supreme Court, 24 Circuit Judges, State and National, 37 Editors, etc. No institution in Kentucky sends out year by year a larger class of graduates. m MEMORIAM. JEREMIAH CHAMBERLAIN, D, D. Dr. Chamberlain was born in Adams county, Pa., January 5, 179i. He received a liberal education, graduating at Dickinson College, Pa., in 1814. After a three-year course at Princeton he was licensed to preach in 1817. He went South as a missionary this year, and the next accepted a call to the church at Bedford, Pa. In 1822 he accepted the Presidency of this College, and come to Danville with an enthusiasm which soon put it on a firm basis. While here he preached regularly, and a powerful revival in religion took place. in the winter of 1824-25 he resigned and went to Louisiana to become President of Jackson College. This office he gave up in 1828, and started a private school in the same place. In 1830 he was elected President of Oakland College, Mississippi, established through his influence. The great work of his life may be said to have been the foundation of Oak- land College, to which he devoted an untiring energy. On the fifth day of September, 1850, he died by the hand of an assassin. Dr. Chamberlain was a man of marked ability ; of strong intellectual power ; of great public spirit. The main aim of his preaching was to present the great cardinal truth that " Christ is all in all." As a presiding officer over the church courts and as the head of the college he showed fine executive capacity and excellent judgment in the many diffi- cult cases that called for firmness and decision. IN" MEMORIAM. GIDEON BLACKBURN, D. D. The birth of Dr. Blackburn occurred in Augusta county, Va., August 27, 1772. His literarj- tutor was Samuel Doak, E>. D., while he received his theo- logical training under Dr. Robert Henderson. In 1792 he was licensed to preach bj- Abingdon Presbj'tery, and soon after established the church at Maysville, and also took charge of one at Eusebia. His labors were not confined to these congregations, but in the region about he succeeded in establishing several new churches. In 1893 he undertook a mis- sion to the Cherokees with excellent results. In 1811 he settled in East Ten- nessee, and become Princiijal of Harpeth Academy, preaching at the same time, with his usual success in organizing several churches. In 1823 he moved to Louisville as pastor, and in 1827 became President of Centre College, holding the office until 1830. He then removed to Versailles, preaching to the church and acting as agent of the Kentucky State Temperance Society. In 1833 he went to Illinois, and in 1835 we find him in the East raising money for Illinois College, a work which finally resulted in establishing a theological school at Carlinsville. He died August 23, 18:58. "Dr. Blackburn was much above the ordinary stature. In his manner he was easy, gentle, mild, courteous, affable, but always dignified. Not only was he eloquent, but a laborious and successful preacher. He made many tours in the United States ; his vacations were uniforaily spent in traveling from place to place, often preaching night and day, and always followed by weeping, won- dering, admiring audiences whenever he went ; and even during the sessions of academy and college, often have I known him, mounted on horseback on Friday afternoon, to dash ten, twenty, and even thirty miles, preach four or five times, administer the communion on Sabbath, and return on Monday morn- ing in time to be in his chair in the lecture-room at 9 o'clock." I IX MEMOIUAM. 7 JOHN C, YOUN& D, D. John Clarke Young, D. D., was born in Greeucastle, Pa., August 12, 1803. He was the youngest son of Rev. John Young, pastor of the Associate Reformed Church of that place, and of Mary Clarke Young, both of Scotch-Irish descent. Dr. Young was for three years a student at Columbia College, New York, and in 1823 was graduated at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania. And having de- clined the most temping offers to enter the profession of law, under the auspices of his uncle, Matthew St. Clair Clarke, at that time Clerk of the House of Rep- resentatives at Washington, and an eminent lawyer and politician, he deter- mined to study for the ministr\^ For two years he occupied the position of tutor in Princeton College, and in 1824 entered the Theological Seminary there, in which he remained four years. While at Princeton he was the intimate friend of Drs. Hodge, Dod, and the Alexanders, all of whom were young men together. In the spring of 1827 he was licensed to preach; after visiting several Eastern cities, where he was strongly urged to make his home, he journeyed across the mountains, to what was then considered the West, and came into Kentucky. In 1828 was elected and installed pastor of the McChord Pres- byterian Church in Lexington. In the fall of 1830 the Presidency of Centi'e College became vacant by the resignation of Dr. Blackburn, and Dr. Young, then entering his twenty-eighth year, was unanimously elected to that office by the Board of Trustees. Although so young, and having been in the state but a short time, he had already attained to the first rank as an able and eloquent preacher, and a man of varied and elegant acquirements. " If your inquiries," says Dr. Archibald Alexander, in answer to a query as to Dr. Young's qualifications for the place, "relate to the Presidency of a col- lege, there is no man within my acquaintance better qualified for such a situa- tion than John C. Young, who is already among you. It is a mistake to look out for old men if you can get young men who are qualified ; the first must be going down, but the latter will be improving for a long time to come. You may depend upon it that Young is a first rate man, of extensive acquirements, and of a pleasant but decisive temper." For nearly twenty-seven years, and until his death, he amply fulfilled the expectation and promise of his early youth. He entered Centre College when it was at a low ebb, and left it at his death one of the most prominent institu- tions of learning in the South-west. The Presbyterian Church in Danville becoming vacant in 183-1, Dr. Young was elected to fill the pulpit. He entered upon this double duty as an experiment, and continued its performance with unparalleled ability, acceptance and success till his death, over twenty years after. In 1839 the degree of D. D^ was conferred on him by the College of New Jersey. In 1833 he was elected Moderator of the General Assembly in Phila- delphia, and presided over that boily with distinguished success. His ready and brilliant elocution was noticeable in the addresses which he made to the representatives of corresponding and foreign churches. His death, after a lin- gering illness, occurred June 23, 1857. As a divine. Dr. Young was able and sound ; as a metaphysician, remarka- ble for his discrimnating powers; as a teacher, faithful and successful; as a friend, ardent and constant. His loss to the Church and the cause of learning was deeply deplored, and his memory is still fondly cherished by all who knew him. IN MEJIORIAM. LEWIS WARNER GREEN. D. D. Dr. Green was the son of Willis and Sarah (Reed) Green, both of whom come from Virginia to Kentucky, and was born near Danville, January 28, 1806. His preparatory studies were pursued under D. F. Robinson, Joshua Fry and W. R. Thompson. He entered Transylvania University 1820, but at the close of junior year, came to Centre College, which was just organized, and graduated in the first class. On leaving college he desired to enter the Gospel ministry, but by the solicitation of friends he took up the study of the law with his brother, Judge Green. This soon proved distasteful, and he turned his attention to medicine. This, too, was given up. It was not God's w'ill that he should do other than His work. In 1831 he entered the Seminary at Princeton, N. J., having been some time previously at Yale studying Hebrew. During this year he was elected Professor of Greek in Centre College, which he declined, but the Chair of Rhetoric and Political Economy being oflered him the next year, he accepted. Mr. Green was licensed to preach October 4, 1833, by the Presbytery of Transylvania, and the next summer sailed for Europe for the purpose of study. He remained abroad two years, attending lectures at various German univer- sities. In 1838 he was elected to the Professorship of Oriental and Biblical Litera- ture in the new Seminary at Hanover, Ind. The next year he was recalled to Danville to take the Vice-Presidency of the College and to become co-pastor in the church. Having been offered the Chair of Oriental Literature and Bibli- cal Criticism in the Western Theological Seminary, Alleghany, Pa., he accepted, and held the position for seven years. In 1817 he took charge of the Second Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, and the ensuing year became President of Hampden Sidney College, Virginia. Here he remained until 1856, when he received the Presidency of the reorgan- ized Transylvania University. Dr. Young dying in 1857, Dr. Green was chosen to take his place at the head of Centre College. In 1827 Mr. Green married Miss Eliza J. Montgomery, of Lincoln county, who lived but a short time, and in 1834 he was united to Mrs. Mary Lawrence. He died May 6, 1863. "Dr. Green was eminent as a scholar, and equally so as a teacher. His intellect was vigorous and brilliant. To the business of communicating knowl- edge to students, he brought a wonderful knowledge of the human mind, and u somewhat unusual power of stimulating the youthful mind to enlarged desires after truth. He was a most agreeable companion, the united charms of his manner and conversation being unsurpassed. As a preacher he stood in the foremost rank, possessing in almost unlimited profusion the inherent qual- ities that lie at the basis of successful public speaking." tySean & Clayton rtiyi- From there he went to Mississippi as President of Oakland College, and in 1863 was called to the head of our college, which he served for five years. He died December 26, 1876, in Cass county, Mo. Says Dr. E. P. Humphrey: " As a preacher he was instructive, lucid and thoroughly evangelical. He had a clear conception, an intelligent and expe- rienced knowledge- of the gospel, and expounded the saving truths always with great simplicity, and often with an earnestness, a pathos, a persuasive power, that brought his hearers into captivity to the obedience of Christ. And then a certain propulsive power was imparted to his discourse by his manliness, his moral and physical courage, his profound conviction of the truth and glory of the gospel, and by the unspotted purity of his life. " Few men have been so diligent and useful in pastoral visitations. His fine social cjualities, his ready, even spontaneous, sympathy, his sense of pro- priety and delicacy made him welcome always to the families of his congrega- tion. The sick and the dying and the bereaved turned to him as at once a learner and a teacher in the school of Christ, the consoler. His labors as a I>astor were the most prominent, and, as he thought, the most fruitful branch of his ministry. " In the Presbyterian Church at large he was a wise and trusted counsellor. He loved the Church ; he consecrated himself, body and spirit, down to the end of his days, to its welfare. His brethren throughout the land committed to him the most sacred trusts and bestowed upon him the highest honors of the profession." 10 IN MEMORIAjr. ORMOND BEATTY, LL, D, Dr. Ormond Beatty, the fourth son of Judge Adam and Sarah (Green) Beatty, was born in Mason county, Ky., August 13, 1815, and died June 24, 1890. He entered Centre College in 1832, and was graduated in 1835. Previ- ous to his graduation he was elected to the Professorship of Natural and Phys- ical Science in the College, but before entering upon its duties he spent a year at Yale College in special preparation for his work. In 1847 he received the degree of A. M. from Centre College, and in 1868 the College of New Jersey conferred on him the degree of LL. D. In 1847 he was transferred to the Pro- fessorship of Mathematics, but in 1852 was restored to his original chair. In 1870 he was elected President of the College and Professor of Metaphysics. Owing to advancing years and failing health he tendered his resignation in 1886, but was prevailed upon by the Board of Trustees to withdraw it till the elec- tion of his successor, which took place June 19, 1888, when Rev. W. C. Young, D. D., was chosen. The Board then elected him Professor of Metaphysics. In 1886 Dr. Beatty completed the fiftieth year of his service as Professor and President To signalize this event tlie Alumni contributed f 1,000 to found the Ormond Beatty Senior Prize. In 183) Dr. Beatty united with the Presbyterian Church, and in 18 U was elected an elder. He was a commissioner to the General Assembly in 1855, 1866 and 1867. He was a delegate to the First General Council of the Presby- terian Alliance in Edinburgh in 1877, and also to the second meeting of that body in Philadelphia in 1880. Dr. Beatty was married three times: first to Miss Sallie Lewis Rochester, who left him one son, Charles R. Of his second marriage, to Miss Ann Bell, a daughter was born, now Mrs. Pattie Quisenberry. His last marriage was to Mrs. Elizabeth 0. Boyle, v/hom he survived five years. Dr. Beatty was a man of gr^^at natural ability and a scholar of profound and varied culture. A symmetrical, well-poised character, a mind singularly logical and practical, an equable temper, self-sacrificing devotion to duty, deep piety, unstinted benefi euce, rare unselfishness, a diffidence and humility that prevented the full recognition of his transcen lent merits by the world at large — ■ all these were characteristics of this great and good man. " Of manners gentle, of affections mild, In wit a man, simplicity a child." His judicial habit of thought, extensive knowledge, and unrivaled powers as a debater gave liim great influence in educational and ecclesiastical counsels. As a teacher he was distinguished for lucid thought, felicitous language, apt illustration, and dialectic skill, and was greatly venerated and beloved by his pupils. To his colleagues of the Faculty he was the wise and revered counselor, the sympathetic and considerate friend. He was a living illustration of " what- soever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever, things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report." ■45'- /-X-A---^t_y Officers of the Corporation.

The new home, while farther away, was yet in close proximity to the col- lege; and there for eight years more, through college and seminary courses, until full manhood was attained, breathing the stimulating literary atmosphere- generated by such an institution, in daily intimate communion and fellowship- with its teachers and students, I lived. During all the years which have passed since then, frequent communica- tions from, at least one annual visit to the old Danville home, have served to- create new, to make, if possible, warmer, stronger, more vital the old bonds of 10 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. love, gratitude and devotion which bind me to Centre College. Four of its six Presidents, more than a score of its Professors, I have been i)rivileged to call my friends. From among its students the most valued and lasting attachments of my life have been formed. To association with, to the instruction imparted by these, I am in large measure indebted for whatever in this world I have been enabled to accomplish. In view of all this I can not surely be charged with egotism or vanity when I say that, entering upon the responsible and arduous work so nobly prosecuted by the illustrious men who have preceded me, I claim equally with the ablest among them at least that element of fitness and preparation which is formed in fervent afi'ection, gratitude and consecration to the cause we serve. Do these remarks seem over personal ? Do they appear to trench upon the borders of delicacy and good taste ? An apology, or rather an explanation, is furnished by the old proverb, "Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth, will speak." Apart, however, from this, what I have said, personal though it may seem, is thus far, at least, directly apposite and pertinent to the occasion, in that the •circumstances and relations which have led me thus to speak have also deter- mined the subject of my address to-day. While anxiously pondering that most vexed of questions connected with all speech-making, where the subject has not been definitely assigned, "what theme shall I discuss ?" again and again a voice proceeding, as it were, from some other self has seemed to say : "Why not talk about the College itself? It has had a long, illustrious life; it has done a grand, beneficent work. A plain, simple story of its achievements in the past constitutes at once its best augury of its strongest claim for a prosperous and glorious future. You per- sonally are its debtor, beyond the possibility of payment. Why not make it the subject of your speech?" To all this, in thought at least, I have answered: " The theme is an old, old one. It has been, in the press and on the platform, presented over and over again. An inaugural address seems to call for something more scholastic, philosophic and impressive." Regardless of these strong objections my petitioner, with the iteration and reiteration of the fabled raven, persistently urged his plea, until, like the un- just judge in the parable, wearied out at length with his pressing importunity, I yielded to his solicitations, and so I am here this morning assuming the two- fold role of historian and prophet, or rather of annalist and projector, to talk to you in simple, unadorned language about Centre Cellege, its past and future. In delineating a life, embracing within itself hundreds, yea, thousands of other lives, and extending through more than a century, of course only the barest outline sketch can be attempted. In drawing this sketch we have freely availed ourselves of the labors and researches of those who have preceded us, using at times the very words. Claiming no mathematical accuracy, but studying simplicity and clearness of treatment, the past of Centre College may be contemj^lated as divided into three periods. INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 11 Fii'st — 1780-1830, fifty years, the period of preparation and planting. Second — 1830-1862, twenty-two years, the jieriod of enlargement and progress. Third — 1862-1889, twenty-seven years, the period of consolidation and conservation. I. Xow as to the first of these periods. It began far back in the last cen- tury, more than one hundred years ago. That this is a true historical state- ment, that the potential origin of Centre Cellege is to be sought and found at that early date, however startling and surprising it may sound to some, can be abundantly verified. Under its present institutional name, it is true the College came into exist- ence only in 1819 in virtue of a charter then granted by the Legislature of Kentucky. It can boast, therefore, as now constituted, of a corporate life of but seventy years. To discover, however, the germ out of which this life was developed, the acorn from which this educational oak grew, we must go back nearly forty years. In 1780 the Legislature of Virginia, with a wise prescience, granted a char- ter, and with it 10,000 acres of land, to a school or academy to be established in the then province of Kentucky. Men and events moved slowly in those early days. The trustees held their first meeting only in 1783, and it w^as not until 1785, five years after the charter had been granted, that the school, under the significant and euphonious name of Transylvania Academy, began its work. Its projectors — those who w^ere mainly instrumental in securing its charter and grant — were largely Presbyterians. Its first trustees belonged to or were in sympathy with that church. It was opened here in Danville, in the home of one Presbyterian minister and taught by another. Here, then, in this little back-woods elementary school, thus called into being, thus organized, controlled and put in operation, we find the real ger- minal beginning of Centre College. Its efficient cause was the wise, liberal, God-fearing, far-sighted Character and views of those noble, heroic Scotch-Irish and English Presbyterians who first settled this beautiful land. Its material cause was a rude wilderness cabin, a little group of bare-footed, home-spun clad children, a pioneer Presbyterian teacher, and a few elementary English books. Its final cause was the promotion of the glory of God and the increased usefulness and happiness of man by means of a liberal religious education. AVhat an object for inspiring, uplifting thought; for grateful, pleasing, pious reflection is furnished by that little educational seed, dropped upon the bosom of this virgin soil, ever memorable as the first planted throughout this whole territory. AVhen its charter was granted the country was in the midst of our great revolutionary struggle. The province of Kentucky, discovered only a few years before by Boone and Kenton, was still an almost unbroken wilderness, dotted here and there with block houses and settlements, to the dwellers in which the 12 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. low of the buffalo, the scream of the panther and the war whoop of the sav- age were familiar sounds. Could the most gifted painter or orator desire a more inspiring subject than is to be found in that small, humble school, opened in a rude log cabin, under such circumstances and amid such surroundings, the predecessor, if not the producer, of all the academies, seminaries and colleges through this great south-western land ? Fathers Rice and Mitchell, patron and teacher of this first academy, of which Centre College is lineal descendant, ye builded wiser, larger than ye- dreamed. The 3,000 of its students and Alumni, through the silences and darkness of a century past, hail, salute, bless ye as in a certain true sense the founders of that institution we love so dearly and to which we owe so much ! After a few years of struggling existence the infant academy was, in 1788, removed to Lexington, a large and flourishing town, by which step Lexington become and long continued the literary, even after it had ceased to be the polit- ical and commercial capital of the State. The larger town and more populous surrounding country gave at once to the school a greatly increased patronage, while the creation soon after of the district into a State, with the rapidly inflowing tide of population, opened before it a most promising and hopeful future. These bright prospects were, however, soon dissipated, and that in a way as unexpected as it was criminal and disastrous. In furtherance of the wild and universal propaganda inaugurated by the French revolutionists, its emissaries of the blood-born atheistic young republic had penetrated even to this distant wilderness land. Sympathy with their political views had prepared a large number of the prominent citizens of Lex- ington to accept their religious, or rather irreligious, sentiments and theories. A determined attempt was made by them to secure control of public instruc- tion. Their eff'orts, despite the most earnest resistance on the part of the Presbyterians, were crowned with success, and in 1794 the teacher of Transyl- vania Seminary, Rev. James Moore, a Presbyterian minister, was ejected by the Beard of Trustees,and the Rev. Henry Tomlin, a known disciple of Priestly, was placed at its head. They whose ancestors had fought, starved and died at Naseby, London- derry and Bothwell Bridge were not the men to submit supinely to such an outrage as this. Interests dearer to them than life were at stake. Having watched the gathering of the clouds, they were not found unprepared when the storm burst. The Presbytery of Transylvania at once inaugurated meas- ures to found an independent college under their own control, in which their sons might enjoy the advantages of an education without the contamination of their religious principles, and which might furnish the churches with an able and faithful ministry. At their spring meeting in 1794 it was resolved to establish at Pisgah, the seat of a strong Presbyterian Church, about nine miles from Lexington, a gram- mar school and seminary. An address was prepared and issued to the people of Kentucky, Cumberland and Miami. A large number of duly appointed INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 15 agents were sent to the churches to soHcit money and patronage. In Decem- ber the Legislature was appealed to and a charter was granted by it to a sem- inary under the title of the Kentucky Academy. The decided action taken by the Presbytery was heartily and unanimously indoi'sed by the churches. The ajjpeal for money wherewith to support the academy met with a generous response, both at home and abroad. Nearly $■1,000 was given in Kentucky; and in the East, where Rev. Drs. Blythe and Rice had been sent to present the cause, the large sum of $10,000 was collected. Among the donors, each giving $100, w^ere John Adams and Gen. Washington, the latter of whom received Dr. Blythe with great courtesy, and expressed his warm interest in the young institution. Away across the ocean from distant London, greatly encouraging the hearts of these Christian educators, subscrip- tions came, amounting to $400, for a library and philosophical apparatus. The grammar school and college were opened at Pisgah respectively in 1796 and 1797, and the Presbyterians, having now concentrated their patronage on them and having in their hands a supply of active funds, speedily outstrij^ped the seminary at Lexington. The leaders at Lexington seeing their own school dwindling while the Presbyterian institution was thus steadily growing, awoke to a realization of the fact that in driving away this large and influential body they had committed a blunder, if not a crime, and made overtures for a consolidation. Everything which the Presbyterians could reasonably demand, including a majority of the Board of Trustees, and thus substantial control of the new college, being oflFered, the overtures were accepted, the right of ecclesiastical oversight was surren- dered, and the tw'o institutions, under the imposing title of Transylvania Uni- versity, were in 1798 merged into one. The new university began its life under hopeful ausjDices. With varying but reasonable success it prosecuted its work under Presbyterian control for nearly twenty years. The first and second Presidents, Rev. Drs. Moore and Blythe, were ministers in that church. Gradually, however, the Presbyterians lost their ascendancy, until at last, out of twenty-one members of the Board of Trustees, they claimed but seven. In 1817 a second revolution almost as radical and sweeping as that of '94 occurred. The Legislature of the State, for what reasons we have been wholly unable to ascertain, displaced the old and appointed an entirely new^ Board of Trustees, in which there was not a single Presbyterian. Dr. Honore Holley, of New England, a scholarly, gifted, brilliant man, but whose religious opinions were most repugnant to Presbyterians, w-as now elected President. Wiser, more faithful in defeat than in victory, again the tocsin of alarm was sounded, their patronage was at once withdrawn from the university at Lexington, and the whole body of Presbyterians in the State united in a suc- cessful application to the Legislature for a charter for another institution. The new institution was chartered under the title of "The Centre College of Ken- tucky," to be located within one-half mile of the town of Danville. And thus, after a wandering absence, under various transformations of more than thirty years, wiser, hardier by its mingled experiences of prosperity and adversity, the 14 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. Presbyterian school, like Noah's dove returning to the ark, comes back to its first home. The Lord certainly directed, in love, this return. The permanent location of the college was of His own gracious ordination. Already a place of historic renown, the history of seventy years justifies the statement that no better location for a Presbyterian college could possibly have been chosen. Dear, cultured, hospitable Danville ! "Sweet Auburn, lovliest village of the plaiu," as pictured in glowing numbers by the poet, surpassed thee not in beauty and attractiveness. To fittingly sing thy praises and celebrate thy virtues, to tell what a kind, loving foster mother thou hast been to the thousands of youth who have been educated here, would task a more eloquent tongue than mine. Within thy borders are enshrined and contained the dust and homes of thof e dead and living, whom in heaven and on earth I love best. From thee I and mine have received only kindness, friendship and love. Do these remarks seem again to border on the over-personal — to be merely the expression of over-wrought enthusiasm and partiality? lam sure, could . the 3,000 teachers and students who have taught and studied here speak, they would in mighty chorus confirm all that I have said ; would testify that in all that goes to make an ideal location for a seat of learning, in liberality, culture and intelligence ; in a high standard of temperance, morality and religion ; in refined and hospitable Christian homes, this little city doth pre-eminently excel. Fellow- Alumni, doth not mention of the loving. Christian homes of Dan- ville touch a responsive chord in many of j'our hearts? Worn, scarred by the conflicts of life, as you sit here this morning, are not your thoughts busy with the memory of those olden days ? Do you not recall with irrepressible emo- tions of love, gratitude and tenderness — tears and smiles lying close together — that long ago time when, having first left the parental roof, lonely, heart-sore, home-sick, you were here received and treated not as boarders, but as beloved and trusted members of the household ? What valupd and lasting associations and friendships were then formed. From how many of these homes you car- ried in after years their choicest treasures to become the mothers of your chil- dren, your helpmeets and companions in the journey through life. That these lovely, attractive characteristics of the city and its inhabitants have been developed, produced in good measure, by the College and other insti- tutions which, because of the College, have been located here, is unquestionably true. The College is scarcely, if at all, more a debtor to the town than the town to it. The benefits received and imparted have been largely mutual. But to return directly to our subject. The charter of 1819 made the Col- lege a State institution. This was not what the Presbyterians desired, but it was the best which at that time they could obtain. And as thus chartered the College was organized and began its work. The original Board of Trustees was composed of men eminent in the pul- pit, on the bench, at the bar, on the field of battle, in the councils of State, men who, by their character and lives, would hav'e conferred honor on any INAUGURAL CEKEMOXIES. 15 cause. Tliey were mainly in symiiathy with or memliers of the Presbyterian Church. This body, through the State, had been, is we have stated, dissatis- tied from the first with the charter. They wished to have the college entirely under their own control, and in 1824 petitioned the Legislature to this effect, promising, if their petition was granted, to raise a permanent endowment for the institution of $20,000. After a fierce and prolonged struggle in the Legisla- ture the charter was amended in accordance with their wishes. And in 1830^ the conditions having been fully complied with, the College passed into the hands of the Synod of Kentucky, by which body it has ever since been gov- erned. The eleven years — 1819 to 1830— during which the College was either wholly or in part under State control, were characterized by frequent and rapid changes in the Presidency, no less than four persons, two, however, only tem^jorary supplies, filling that position. The two regularly elected, permanent Presidents were Rev. Drs. Jeremiah Chamberlain and Gideon Blackburn, both honored, scholarly, beloved ministers in the Presbyterian Church, the latter greatly dis- tinguished as a gifted and impressive pulpit orator. During these years six classes had been, graduated, the largest not exceeding four or five in number. With Dr. Blackburn's resignation in 1830 we come to the close of our first period, that of prepai-ation and planting. Two determined conflicts for princi- ple, four appeals to the Legislature for new or amended charters, persistent efibrt, untiring industry, great liberality and sacrifices to establish an institution of higher Christian learning, are among the marked characteristics of this long period of labor and conflict. At its close we find the college weak in resources,, small in numbers, but little known, and exercising but a slight influence through the State. II. The second period — and we shall move now more rapidly — that of enlargement and progress, opens with the election to the Presidency of Rev. John Clarke Young. This occurred in Octobei-, 1830, and the newly-chosen President at once qualified and entered upon his work. Just here I confess to a feeling of perplexity and embarrassment. To> describe this golden age of the hfe of the College with even comparative accu- racy and fidelity without emphasizing the character and work of its President, to whom, in the opinion of all qualified to judge, its signal prosperity was- mainly due, would be impossible. And yet, delicacy demands that a son be chary and modest in sounding a father's praise. Others, however, unhampered by the close relationship which embarrasses me, and thoroughly acquainted with the subject, have spoken earnestly and eloquently concerning the notable life work performed by Dr. Young in behalf of the College. Of him and his. services I shall speak, therefore, in language almost wholly borrowed from the- Avritiugs and speeches of two of his most distinguished pupils and one of his most eminent colleagues and successors. "The administration of Dr. Young," writes Dr. Ormond Beatty, "was by far the longest, and it may with propriety, perhaps, be said that it was the- most brilliant that the college has ever known. He was twenty-seven years old when he was elected, and for twenty-seven years more, until the day of his 16 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. death in 1857, he held the office. Thus one-half of his entire life and the whole of his active life was given to the college. Though very young when chosen to this high office, he already, with all who knew him, had a distinguished repu- tation for both learning and eloquence. The funds that had been subscribed had been expended ; the students were reduced to thirty. He found the col- lege without reputation, without endowment, without students, but he was young, hopeful and earnest. As soon as he entered upon his work, students began to come in, and the number steadily grew from year to year. Funds were provided for a meagre temporary support of a faculty. As his own repu- tation widened, that of the college expanded along with it. He had rare gifts as a teacher. His learning and eloquence were of a high order. His amiabil- ity and genial disposition attached his pupils and his brethren in the Synod warmly to him. The Synod took a new and livelier interest in the college. An organized and successful effort was made to endow it. Before his death, Dr. Young saw a permanent fund of more than $100,030 provided for the support of the school. The number of students had increased to nearly two hundred, and its reputation was probably equal to that of any institution in the whole South-west." "The dominant, controlling, moulding spirit" — I quote from an address delivered to the Alumni Association in 1885 by Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge— "The dominant, controlling, moulding spirit in the college for twenty-seven years was John C. Young. He pervaded every part of that life from the day the student matriculated until he graduated. He was the first of the faculty you met; he impressed you at once. He seemed to be ubiquitous,, and in spirit he was. The trustees gave him his own way; the faculty deferred to his wishes; the church implicitly believed in him. He was the friend, guide and counsellor of the family in which you lived, he was pastor of the church which you attended, and he was chief every week day. His influence was felt every day and everywhere. I can not overstate this, as with one voice those who were under him will testify. But he was a great teacher and a greater preacher. He was a prince among teachers and preachers, and he was singularly gifted in his power to adapt himself to young men. He secured their respect ; he won their confidence ; he awed them, if it became necessary so to do ; he dominated them by his will; he could, on occasion, overwhelm with his indignation or wither with his scorn. He had the precious gift of imparting knowledge. He had the rarer and higher gift of inspiring love for learning and strengthening the purpose of doing something. He turned out ready men, anxious to do something in life." Speaking on a similar occasion the following year, Hon. John C. Bullitt, of Philadelphia, after describing that perfection of character and life which results from self-control and patience, with rare intellectual gifts and graces, says : •' The best example of this in the course of my experience is to be found.in the life and character of Rev. John C. Young. He was guileless, yet wise ; he was gentle, yet full of manly earnestness of purpose, and if I may be permit- ted to yield to the enthusiasm enkindled by his name and memory, I should say that he was possessed of a sublime patience that pervaded his thoughts, his IXAUOTKAL CEREMONIES. 17 speech, his actions and bis conduct in all the varied relations of life. Call it judgment, discretion, tact, what you may, it was the working of an earnest, patient spirit, seeking to perform the duties of his life to the full measure of his powers. He did his duty, and his life moved on as a noble, jilacid and un- broken stream to the ocean of a boundless futurity." "Though gentle, yet not dull, strong without rage, without o'erflowing, full." ^' Laus laudari a laudato,''^ the Romans tell us. If this be true — who doubts it? — then such tributes from such men as Ormond Beatty, W. C. P. Breckinridge and John Bullitt constitute, indeed, a bright and blessed crown of distinction and glory. During all these years the college experienced a steady and rapidly increas- ing influence and prosperity. Money, friends, students, reputation and power were constantly being added to it. Its faculty was increased ; the curriculum of studies enlarged ; the standard of instruction elevated. All this tended directly to widen the sphere of its patronage. Not from Kentucky alone, but from the whole South-west and from States north of the Ohio, the best sons of many of the best families were now drawn to Danville. Returning home after their college courses were finished, many among them, as ministers, lawyers, judges, physicians, merchants, legislators and statesmen, took easily the first places, and thus become swift and eloquent witnesses in behalf of Centre College. Biographies of the graduates through this period could not be written without furnishing at the same a good history of almost every Southern State during the past forty years. That this marked and enlarged prosperitj^ was in good measure due to the fidelity and ability of those associated with him in the work of instruction, no one was more ready to acknowledge than Dr. Young. If the commanding General was wise, scholarly and gifted, the subordinate officers were most capable, industrious and efficient. In proof of this I need only vneniion " venerabiles, dares nomines," Li. W, Green, W. L. Breckinridge, Ormond Beatty, W. M. Scott, Alfred Ryors, Jacob Cooper, W. Dodd, James Mat- thews, Henry Snyder, S. B. Barton, and J. J. Bullock. And now when the halls of the College were filled with students and its fame had become well nigh national ; when a good past and a most prosperous present gave promise of even a more brilliant and useful future, in the full maturity of his powers, at the comparatively early age of fifty-four, John C. Young was called from the life work he loved so well and had prosecuted so faithfully and successfullj'' to a better service above. On the monument which marks his last resting place, erected by his friends and old students, the follow- ing epitaph, written by his beloved and honored friend, E. P. Humphrey, D. D., may be read : " To the servant of God, full of faith and the Holy Ghost ; to the associate and teacher ; to the pastor and friend, able, faithful and true, this monument is erected by his brethren and neighbors, by his colleagues and pupils, who trusted and loved him." Though the workmen die, the woik, if it be of God, goes on. This work was of God, and a worthy successor of Dr. Young was found in Rev. Dr. Lewis W. Green, whose name stands first on the list of graduates of the college, and 18 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. who many years before had filled the positions of Professor and Vice-President. Dr. Young's death occurred in June, 1857, and in August of the same year Dr. Green was called to the Presidency. He died in office in May, 1863. The last two years of my college life were passed under his Presidency, and I speak from personal knowledge and intimate association when I say that he was a true, noble, talented, gracious servant of God. To rare naiuial gifts, extensive and accurate learning, wide and varied culture, he added remarkable power as a public speaker. For about three years after his inauguration the College main- tained its high position. Then the great civil war began, and Mars proving more atttactive than Minerva, the students turned from the class room to the battle fields and military camps. Here in the midst of Dr. Green's brief term of service our second period ends. It may emphatically be called the golden age of Centre College, to be reproduced, if not surpassed, we trust, in the near future. III. Of the third and last period, which we have designated as that of consolidation and conservation, we shall attempt only the barest outline sketch. Five months after Dr. Green's death. Dr. Wm. L. Breckinridge, a distinguished member of a most distinguished family, was chosen as his successor. Many years before, like Dr. Green, he had filled the position of a professor in the Col- lege, but, after a brief term of service, had resigned to take charge of and build up one of th-^ largest and most efficient churches in all the land, with whose work his fame is indelibly associated. His administration fell in dark and troublous times. Our terrible civil war was at its height, and Centre College, like every other similar institution, felt fearfully its blighting effects. After serving the college for five years. Dr. Breckinindge resigned and returned to his loved work of preaching. Ormond Beatty, LL. D , was unanimously elected as Dr. Breckinridge's successor. There was a pre-eminent propriety and fitness in this choice. It was a splendid object lesson on the part of the Trustees of what is now called " civil service reform." Dr. Beatty was emphatically a child of, belonged to. Centre College. At the time of his elevation to the Presidency, for more than thirty years he had, as student and professor in three separate departments, been intimately identified with the college. His presence here to-day, an honor and a benediction to the institution, which for more than half a century he has served so well, shall not prevent my saying that in all the relations he has sus- tained to the College, his ability, zeal, devotion and fidelity have been of the highest possible order. Dr. Beatty, as chief executive officer of the college, was, soon after entering upon his work, confronted with the most vexed and perplexing questions. The civil war was over, but it had bequeathed to Presbyterians throughout the coun- try a terrible legacy in a divided church. A second Synod, at first independent, but soon connecting itself with the Southern Assembly, was formed in Ken- tucky. Each of the two Synods claimed rightful possession of the college. Earnest and prolonged negotiations and conferences were held looking to a division of the property or its joint control. These proving fi-^uitless, the South- ern Synod appealed to Ccezar, as represented by the civil courts. The decisions INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 19 of these tribunals, both State and National, having been rendered in favor of the party already in possession, i. e., the old Synod, in connection with what is popularly known as the Northern Assembly, our Southern brethren withdrew in large measure their patronage and inaugurated measures to establish an institution of their own. During all these years of litigation and strife the College, under the wise, conservative and efficient administration of its gifted head, moved steadily on in the prosecution of its work, conserving its resources, increasing its patronage and slowly but surely regaining its old position of influence and power. I question whether during any other period of its life more faithful and eificient teaching work was ever done. Two events of unusual interest and importance occurring within this period should at least be mentioned. In 1871, with funds subscribed before the war, additional grounds were purchased and a new and commodious building was erected, the old one being transformed into a College Home. Though poorly adapted to its present uses, it is filled, and a new stu- dents' hall, with all niiodern comforts and appliances, is greatly needed. The other event referred to as occurring about this time was the loss of nearly $100,000 of the endowment fund by the burglary of the Falls City Bank in Louisville, the depository of the College securities. This seemed at first an irreparable disaster. A portion of the bonds, however, was subsequently recov- ered, and the remaining loss was made good by liberal subscriptions, secured through the activity and efficiency of Eev. Dr. Lapsley JMcKee, who had recently left a large and flourishing church in Louisville to accept the position of Vice-President in the College. At their annual meeting in June, 1888, upon his own repeated and urgent requests, the Board of Trustees reluctantly accepted the resignation of Dr. Beatty as President. This action was immediately followed by the creation of a new Professorship — that of Metaphysics — to which he was unanimously elected. His acceptance of this special department, thus formed for him, has given profound gratification to every friend of the College. It preserves un- broken the one link which connects the present with the golden past of the Institution, and secures a continuance of his invaluable services in the instruc- tion and government of the College. Upon the acceptance by the Board of Dr. Beatty's resignation, I was elected his successor, and without waiting for a formal inauguration, in October last began my work. The immediate pressing need of the College was a large increase of its endowment, and to this work, by direction of the Board of Trus- tees and with the hearty indorsement of the Synod, I addressed myself. From member's of the Board, from the citizens of Danville, throughout the State, notably in the East, responses to the appeals made in behalf of this old, historic Institution, which, as we have seen, has for more than a century, through clouds and sunshine, in prosperity and adversity, stood steadfast and faithful for a high standard of education, a pure and uncorrupted Christianity, an unbroken and united country, have been most encouraging. The net results of a year's labor have been the addition of about $75,000 to the permanent endowment, the establishment by a number of representative men of twelve to 20 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. fifteen free scholarships in the gift of the faculty, and a marked increase in stu- dents, the number enrolled now being much greater than at any time for twenty-six years. An additional $75,000 is a pressing, immediate necessity. That during the present collegiate year it will be secured I am most hopeful From the long, honorable roll of the useful, eminent men who have filled the position of Trustees of the College it may seem at first view invidious to select any single name for special note and commendation. I am sure, how- ever, that I voice a very general sentiment in saying that among all those who have thus served the Institution, in length and value of service, the late Edward P. Humphrey stands ^'primus inter pares.^'' For more than a quarter of a century he was the Chairman of the Board, and through all those years, with his pen his tongue and his purse, on the platform, in the pulpit, in the press and in its business councils, he wrought for the College with a zeal and efficiency beyond all praise. And now, surveying with one comprehensive view the whole life lived and work done by the Institution as they have passed in review before us, are we not justified in saying, as Webster said of Massachusetts, "thank God the past at any rate is safe." Has it not been a good and useful past? Has not the old College lived and worked for the glory of God and the good of man ? The quiet, silent, unseen efiects of its work in the mental, moral and spiritual uplift and advancement of the whole South-west, eternity alone will disclose. Its visible fruitage has been about 3,000 students matriculated, nearly 1,000 gradu- ated, by whose services as ministers and teachers, as senators and congressmen, as lawyers, physicians and men of business, the church and the country have been unspeakably blessed. No race or nation, no institution or individual has lived long and wrought well upon earth without acquiring a fixed, definite character, developing certain marked, distinguishing features or characteristics. Centre College furnishes no exception to this general rule. Acquaintance with its life and work can not fail to impress you with the fact that all through its history it has exerted, in a pre-eminent degree, a deep, profound religious influ- ence upon its students. If, indeed, the child be father to the man ; if the tree grows as the twig is inclined ; if prayer and fidelity to God are real potencies, theh this is just what we might know must have been true. It was born, has been nurtured, developed, administered and governed in prayer, dependence upon and trust in God. Almost every confiict through which, in its germinal and full grown states, it has passed has been a struggle for Christian principle. Its Trustees have been almost wholly God-fearing, Christ-loving men. Its Presidents, with but one exception, and that one a preacher in all but name, and many of its Professors, have been eminenr, earnest ministers of the gospel, who craved and sought above all else the spiritual good of their pupils. What could result from all this but just what has resulted? The gracious, abiding benediction of God in the conversion of immortal souls. Moi'e than one-fifth of the Alumni of the College have become preachers, scores and hundreds of others seeking only secular, have here obtained that spiritual knowledge which maketh wise unto eternal life, and returning to their old homes have been and still are in mvriads of cases centers in the community where they live of sav- INArOURAL CEREMONIES. 21 ing influence and power. This, my hearers, we regard as Centre College's chiefest, brightest crown of glory in the past. A continuance, an enlargement, of this above all else yve covet and pray for in the future. One other distinguishing characteristic should be mentioned. Equally with the religious influence exerted, Centre College has developed among its students the power or art of public speaking. Into that vexed question, have not the invention and use of the printing press, telegraph, stenography and type-writing depreciated greatly the value of spoken in favor of written thought, we shall not enter. Be this as it may, so long as man's heart and brain remain what they are to-daj-- and have been for 6,000 years, it is absolutely certain that human eloquence will continue in the future, as it has in the past, one of the most potent forces in moulding and determining national and individual char- acter and action. Who ever heard the two Breckinridgi-s, John and William, Lewis Green, Presley Ewing, Joshua Bell, George Vest, Samuel Burchard, S. Muchmore, Joseph Blackburn, Thomas Crittenden, John Phillips, Alexander Humphrey, Gelon Rout, James McKenzie, John Simrall, John Browai, John Young, John Harlan, and Boyd Winchester — who ever heard these men in the pulpit, at the bar, on the platform, in the halls of Congress, when thoroughly aroused in the discussion of a great theme, and has not been stirred and thrilled down to the inmost depths of his being by the power of their matchless elo- quence? To them and many others equally gifted Centre College can point with grateful love and pride and say, " They are my sons." " If I did not create, I certainly nurtured, stimulated and developed their wondrous gift." And now what of the future of this Institution, over whose brilliant and useful past we have lingered so long? Our time and your patience are well nigh exhausted, but upon this second, and in some aspects most important subject, we must speak for a few minutes longer. What shall the future of Centre College be? It ought, it must, have a future corresponding with its glorious, beneficent past. Not only " nulla vestigia retwrsum," but side by side with that conservative motto we would also to-day inscribe " Excehior'" upon our banners. The perpetuation of all that has made the College renowned and useful in the past, this certainly must be secured. The old traditional college curriculum, embracing, with mathematics and natural and physical sciences, what the ancients termed " the humanities " — lan- guage, rhetoric, history and philosophy — has been approved and commended by the experience of ages. It has made Centre College for seventy years a fountain of blessing and power. To this we shall give our first, best thought and effort, aiming to advance it to the highest possible degree of perfection. In the judgment of the best educators, the chief end of a college, as distin- guished from a professional education, is not the acquisition of knowledge, valuable though that be, but learning how to think, the enlargement, invigora- tion and discipline of the mind. "You may make," said Dr. Young in his inaugural address, " you may make the mind a lumber-room, where vast stores of knowledge are packed away, and yet the possessor may be useless and mis- erable. But furnish him with good principles, cultivated, disciplined faculties and correct habits, soon his own observation and industry will, in large meas- 22 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. ure, compensate for his lack of information, and enable him, in every depart- ment of life, to excel." Take this boy, said the great Earl of Chatham to the tutor of his afterward even more eminent son, W. Pitt ; bring him back to me at the end of a year, not having acquired a single additional item of knowledge, but able to fix his mind for fifteen minutes upon the point of a needle, and I will consider mysel^ and the boy as greatly your debtors. And along the same hne that great master of philosophy, Sir W. Hamilton, goes so far as almost to identify genius with the power of concentrated attention. That for the accomplishment of this important object the original and adven- turous spirit of the age has made no improvement upon, discovered no substi- tute for, the old, regular classical course, I firmly believe. Nor while thus securing in the highest degree this supreme advantage, is such a course, in an enlarged view, which embraces the whole of life, one whit behind any other in imparting valuable knowledge. He who successfully prosecutes it will be able best to handle himself, will have learned " to observe, compare, combine and judge for himself," and a master at least of the most precious elements of knowledge will have laid a broad, strong foundation upon which any profes- sional or mechanical superstructure may be securely and easily built. Holding these views, I shall advise all students, where it is possible, to pur- sue the regular classical course. We know, however, that the spirit of the age moves in an opposite direction. Many young men can not, many others will not, take such a course. And so, while enlarging and perfecting it, we must provide such additional courses of instruction, such new subjects of investiga- tion and study as will meet both the needs and wishes of this impatient, hur- rying, expanding age. In the wide department of the natural sciences, embraciug astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and geology, one Professor is attempting to do the work, and, we may add, doing it with marvelous success, which, in justice both to the teacher and the subjects taught, should be divided among at least three instructors. With a separate, commodious building for this work, thus manned, we should certainly secure far larger and richer results. An entirely new department of mining and engineering, provided with a well-appointed and equipped home and efficiently officered, would meet a cry- ing need of this South-western country, and draw students from every part thereof. With Cornell, Troy and Lehigh, in extent of instruction, we could not hope for years, possibly ever, to compete, but hundreds and thousands to whom access to these, through distance and expense, is impossible, might easily, at a moderate cost, avail themselves of the priceless advantages of such a school located here. Enlarging yet further the scope of our horizon, but limiting it still to the practical and possible, why may we not hope to see established in connection with the College a complete school of technology? Our country will soon be overstocked with lawyers, politicians and physicians. The tide in that direc- tion must ere loug begin to ebb. A part ef those receding waters will certainly INAUGURAL CEREMOMES. 23 be directed toward mechanical pursuits. To many, also, because of the long and expensive training necesFary, a professional life is impossible, and yet they aspire to something above the lot of common, hand-working, day laborers. Here, then, at the gateway of the New South, let a good, thoroughly-appointed school be opened, in which all the mechanical branches of modern industrial life shall be taught, and it will ere long be crowded with eager students. "With these appointments, with our scholarships increased to 100, with a fund of $25,000 to $50,000, the interest on which can be used still further in assisting exceptionally deserving but poor young men, and with a few fellow- ships endowed, enabling our best graduates to prosecute here or abroad original, practical subjects of study, what might not be reasonably expected? Are we sketching on too large a canvas? Do these projections seem Utopian and chimerical? That they far exceed our present resources is most certain, but that they surpass not the pressing, immediate needs of our age and land is just as true. Freed from the dreadful incubus and curse of slavery, the country is one to-day as never before, and the South, with its marvelous material resources, has awakened from its industial slumber of centuries, and is girding itself as a strong man to run a race. The amazing progress of the past ten years has seemingly brought her to the threshold of an era of improvement and advance- ment unsurpassed in all history. Education, intellectual activity and ambition, will keep step with this material onward march. They have already caught the contagion. Our public schools are rapidly increasing in number and effi- ciency ; seminaries and academies of learning are springing up on every side. The choicest, the most ambitious of their students will seek an education higher and broader than these can give. Transform Centre College into such an institution as we have sketched ; builil around the olil historic College here in Danville these additional schools, and the salubrity of our climate, the beauty of the surrounding country, the intelligence, culture and hospitality of our people, the moderate cost of living, and the grand results achieved in the past will draw to it a patronage ; will ena- ble it to do a work for God and humanity beyond our power to depict. There are many things in the history and present condition of Centre Col- lege which qualify it pre-eminently for doing this work. It has always been, and is now, a religious institution. It belongs to and is controlled by a Church (in no narrow, sectarian way, however), which, from the days of Cahnn and Knox, has ever placed the spelhng book and reader side by side with the Word of God. In the Providence of God it is legally connected with one branch of that Church, while its home, old students and Alumni are wdthin the territory occupied in good part by the other. It has always stood for civil, national unity and fraternity. It stands now for an undivided country and a reunited Church. It knows no North, no South ; is connected with no dead past issues ; appeals to no sectional prejudices or sentiments for support or patronage, but, with aims and ambitions as high and broad as the entire Word of God and the whole country, seeks to train and send forth disciplined, educated Christian 24 IXAUGUEAL CEREMONIES.. men, prepared in all the departments of life to perform well the arduous and noble duties pertaining to American citizenship. To fill out the outline, to materialize the great plan thus sketched and por- trayed will require, I hear some one say, a large amount of money. Where can you hope to obtain it? That in overflowing measure it is in our country we all know. That in good part it is possessed hy large-souled, philanthropic. Chris- tian men, who wish to use their wealth for the betterment of man and the glory of God, I am equally sure. Scores, hundreds of individuals have, during the past quarter of a century, acquired fortunes ten, twenty times larger than would be needed to make all our desires and hopes a present reality, and with many oi them enlargement of heart has kept full pace with increase of wealth. They are earnestly, prayerfully seeking investments which shall yield the surest, best dividends in national prosperity and fraternity, human virtue and happiness, and the divine benediction and favor. What investment could possibly promise larger returns along these lines than building up here in Danville such an institution as we have described ? The immense fortune of the late Corneliu.s Vanderbilt has passed, I have every reason to believe, into the hands of wise, liberal. Christian men and women. But he and they, I am sure, would indorse the statement that no part of his vast estate was more wisely, beneficently invested than the million dollars given to establish that magnificent seat of Christian learning which bears his name. I have hope, yea, I have faith, to believe that in the not distant future one or more of our wealthy, Christian philanthropists will recognize in Centre College a good field for a similar investment. In the meantime, however, not waiting for this " Danean golden shower," a general movement among the old students of the College, a contribution according to their means from her 3,000 sons, would at once place the Institution upon a far higher and broader plane of ser- vice. Some of them have within the past year given most liberally ; others are now contemplating even larger gifts. A new Professorship endowed, one oi- two greatly needed buildings erected by her loving, grateful children, would prove just now of incalculable advantage to the College. Brief but emphatic mention must be made of the movement inaugurated during the past year by the resident Alumni to secure the co-operation of all their brethren in providing facilities in the College for the more thorough study of our own mother tongue. The specific form which this movement has taken is the endowment of a John C. Young Professorship of English History and Literature by a small contribution from as large a number as possible of the old students. A good beginning has already been made toward the accomplishment of this greatly needed and most laudable object. It can not too speedily be pressed to a successful consummation. And now in closing let me again emphasize the fact so conspicuous through all its history — Centre College has been a religious institution. The culture and education of the moral and spiritual has been earnestly, prayerfully sought^ side by side with the discipline and development of the intellectual. The men who planted, nurtured, endowed and controlled the College, its teachers and the instruction imparted have all and always been in hearty, thorough syni- INxVUGURAL CEREMONIES. 25 pathy and accord with the great fundamental truths of the Bible. Young men of every creed and of no creed have been received and welcomed to its halls of learning ; and, while nothing has been attempted in the way of inculcating sectarian or denominational tenets, yet every reasonable effort has been exerted to induce its students to embrace the cardinal doctrines of the Christian religion. May God keep it steadfast and true a;long this line through all the ages to come. I certainly shall do all in my power toward this end. As the distinguished President of Princeton said of that great institution, so I say of the one located here, " God helping me, during my administration. Centre College shall keep- faith w'ith the dead." Or adopting in substance the words of another eminent educator, speaking on an occasion like this concerning the college over w^hich he had been called to preside, " We avow that it is our aim to bring over and keep in the Institution the influence of the principles of the gospel of the Son of God." It is our design to mingle the waters of the Pierian spring with those of the well of Bethlehem and of Siloa's fount that flows fast by the oracle of God. It is our wish to graft the laurel of Parnassus into the vine that is planted upon the top of Zion's mount. It is our desire that the Minerva of our College may be baptized into Christ and be inspired by the Spirit of the Most High_ For the realization of our hopes and plans our dependence is first of all upon the Almighty. Our ancestors looked to Him, and the Institution was planted. Our fathers trusted in Him, and it was enlarged and prospered. His favor and' blessing we are sure will be upon us, their descendants and children, in our efforts still further to increase its usefulness and power. Under God, to the friends and patrons of liberal Christian education throughout our whole land; to you brethren of the Synod and the people whom yov. represent ; to the members of the Board of Trustees, the Alumni, Faculty ana Students of the College, and to the citizens of this lovely little city, for seventy years the home of the Institution, we hopefully and confidently look for sympathy, support and co-operation. With such allied forces, marshalled,. en?rgized and directed by the great Captain of our salvation, while fervently tlwnking God for the illustrious, useful past of Centre College, we take courage- aid hope as to an even more glorious and beneficent future.

Mr. Chairman : It is a pleasant duty, ladies and gentlemen, to assure you, on behalf of my brother resident Alumni, of our gratification attending your personal presence at the exercises of this glad, red-letter day, and our pleasure in having you as guests at this old-fashioned dinner. Many of you are children of this College, sons of " Old Centre," holders of her diplomas, and recipients of her hallowed benedictions — benedictions bestowed upon you, on happy com- mencement days, in the old church so dear to your hearts, by a sainted Young, Green or Breckinridge, or in the new church by ex-President Beatty, who, though he has passed the seventy-fourth mile-stone in the roadway of life and is seeking some rest as he enjoys the peaceful twilight of honored age, yet stays with and stands by the College. The pupil, the friend, the confidant of Presi- dent John C. Young, the teacher, the friend, the counsellor of President W. C. Young, Dr. Beatty is to-day the living, connecting link between the past glory and the present prosperity of the College. We welcome you, gentlemen Alumni, as brothers coming back for a brief gathering in the old home, a home beloved and sacred, in w^hich you have never parted with your portion of the heritage, but hold it in fee simple, with right of possession undisputed. We welcome you as men who, by the manliness, clean- ness, and fidelity of your lives, by the rank and station accorded you by your brother-men, have made more luminous the good name of " Old Centre," and adding to her renown, you have added to the value of our common inheritance. Our single complaint, during this family reunion, is that some of our Alumni seem to believe in the policy of absenteeism, and that there are only three hun- dred and fifty chairs drawn up to this board to-day when we hoped there would be five hundred. Whether or no "absentee landlordism " be the curse of Ire- land, absentee Alumniism is damaging, if not disastrous, to the prosperity of any institution. Dr. Holmes says he somewhere read that the lineal descendants of the for- ester who carted off" the body of William Rufus, with Sir Walter Tyrrel's fatal arrow yet undrawn, have driven a cart and labored in the New Forest from that memorable, historic day to this. Would that such loyalty and attachment to locality, to this locality, to this very spot, had all the fervor of a passion in our brotherhood. Then we resident Alumni would know our brothers by a face to 28 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. face acquaintance, rather than by a study of the familj^ record, kept in musty catalogues. Let me urge annual pilgrimages and yearly gatherings here each recurring commencement June. They will quicken your love for the College and give birth to the desire and purpose that son and grandson should tread the same walks, sport on the same campus, court in the same parlors, gather in the same halls, wear the same society badges, recite from the same benches, strive for the same prizes, earn the same diplomas, and be sons of the same College with sire and grandsire. Thus would the Alumni Association become a potent factor in the advance of the College. And if the grand old Synod of Kentucky, which founded this institution in prayers, in hope, in sacrifice, would commit to our Association some portion in the College government, as Yale and Har- vard have to their Alumni, this again would bring into living reality the con- nection between the College and her sons, and the responsibility following this representation in the council chambers of the College would be attended by and productive of a broader and stronger interest in her prosperity among her graduates. And now turning from the Alumni, none the less cordial is our greeting for our non-Alumni friends. Without the claims attendant upon sonship, you have been the loyal friends, cordial well-wishers and generous helpers of the College. Your friendship for her, your gifts to her, your presence to-day to witness the installation of Dr. Young into the official headship of the College, all bespeak for you a welcome well seasoned with old-time Kentucky hospi- tality. We believe the College is worthy of your friendship. You heard her history this morning, a history full of honor and usefulness. She hath done what she could. Her history is short compared with Harvard, founded in 1638, with Yale in 1716, with King's, now Columbia, pointing to Alexander Hamil- ton as her most illustrious pupil, or with Princeton, bearing on her rolls the revered name of James Madison. Considering her limitations of time, endow- ment and attendance, her work is cheerfully submitted by her officials for popular scrutiny and judgment. She may be a trifle "old fogy" according to the views of some, and not fully in sympathy and in line of advance with that supposed spirit of progress which demands for the student the widest personal liberty and the broadest election in the choice of his studies. She may believe that the College faculty should in some respects stand in loco parentis to the stu- dent, and thus prevent the transition of the pupil from well-regulated, Christian firesides to the College halls, from being "the saddest of orphanages." Direct- ing in some measure not only the intellectual, but also the moral and social progress of her boys, this College in the past, with God's blessing, has done the greatest possible personal good to her students. She has had her days of glad- ness and sunshine, such as this, and has also passed through periods of gloom and shadow. In 1830, at the termination of the Presidency of Dr. Blackburn, she seemed left without friends, without endowment, without students. During the dark days of the civil war, and the darker days immediately following, many, some even among her staunchest followers and upholders, feared lest her sun was a setting sun. To-day I am reminder! of the closing scene in the Constitutional Conven- IXAUGlTiAL CEREMONIES. 29 tion of this nation. You remember the fierce, protracted, partisan debates of that body, the well-grounded doubts of a successful issue. Finally patriotism was triumphant, the great work completed, the immortal pajoer signed. On the back of the President's quaint arm chair, says a recent historian, had been emblazoned a half sun, brilliant with its gilded rays. As General Washington, on final adjournment, left this chair, Benjamin Franklin, pointing to it, said: "As I have been sitting here all these weary weeks, I have often wondered whether yonder siin was a rising or a setting sun. Now', I know, it is a rising sun." So to-day, ladies and gentlemen, standing in the midst of this great gather- ing of her friends, with her halls filled with earnest students, wath her faculty enlarged, with her endowment increased, with a new President in the very- noontide of mental strength and physical vigor, wath his heart aflame with love for the College of his father, his brothers and himself, with his present success an inspiration for continued endeavors, I know, in the radiant light of all these facts, glorious in themselves, and also blessed propkecies and promises for the future, I know that the sun of this College is a rising sun. To you, your friendship, your liberality, your shoulder to shoulder support, this knowledge is in large part due, and your toorth is warrant for your ivelcome. RESPONSE OP Gov. S. B. BUCKNER. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : When I received an intimtation that it was expected that I would respond to a sentiment in honor of the Com- monwealth of Kentucky, I did not think that I would be called upon to reply to allusions so complisaentary to myself. While I am conscious of having brought to the discharge of the duties of the Executive office a high sense of the responsibilities of the position, and have sought to act with fidelity to the people, I have not had the vanity to think that my services would be associated with those of the distinguished statesmen who have preceded me in the Execu- tive chair. It will be a sufficient gratification to my ambition if my name should hereafter be regarded as second to any of those illustrious names which have heretofore adorned the pages of Kentucky history. For the compliment- ary terms, sir, in which you have so kindly presented me, and for the cordial greetings I have received, I can only return my sincere acknowledgments. Kentucky has in some respects occupied an anomalous position in the sis- terhood of States. During a long period, while the adventurous pioneers were winning the land for their descendants and for the country, it was the advanced guard of civilization, separated from the older civilizations of the continent by hundreds of miles of mountain-wilderness, a garden spot which could be reached only by descending the Ohio river iu the rude boats of the period or by threading the narrow and difficult trace through the Cumberland Gap, first marked out by Boone. In fact, the State contained a population of perhaps 200,000, with your beautiful locality as a central point, before there was a well- defined wagon road connecting it with the civilization beyond the mountains. It may be mentioned, too, as a curious fact, that the present year — more than a century after the first settlement of the State — witnesses the completion of rail- way lines along the identical routes followed by the first immigrants^a railway along the south bank of the Ohio river and another piercing the Cumberland Mountain at the famous Gap. The student of history is interested in noting the fact that while the col- onies along the Atlantic seaboard were contending with the mother country for independence, the hardy pioneers who were our progenitors were not only carving out for themselves a home in the unpeopled wilderness, but were ex- tending far beyond its former limits the territories of the older States. So INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. 31 marked au influence did this settlement exert, that a recent historical writer has demonstrated that but for the conquest of the AVest by George Eogers Clark^ Shelby, Boone, Sevier, and other pioneers, the United States would have been restricted to the comparatively narrow limits bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Allegheny Mountains. We can justly claim, with pride, that the eflforts of our ancestors made possible the greatness of the American Union. It is generally conceded that Keutuckians possess, in an eminent degree, the elements of individuality. It is charged, and perhaps justly, that the individu- al Kentuckian is more apt to rely upon himself than upon the laws of society for a redress of his personal grievances. We may readily trace a cause for this characteristic in the methods pursued by our ancestors. In winning the land from the assaults of a savage foe, each individual was compelled to rely more upon his own vigilance and courage than upon the concerted action of society^ and it was but natural that the memory of his individual prowess should be transmitted to his posterity as a virtue worthy of emulation. But even those who criticise us with severity are compelled to concede that while our viola- tions of the law may be frequent, they do not often descend to the perpetration of those meaner crimes which are a constant reproach to the civilization of so- cieties which boast their superiority to our own. But we may confidently rely upon such institutions as Centre College,, which has given so many illustrious names to our history, to correct the defects of our civilization and to infuse amongst our people respect for every virtue- and obedience to every law. Your honored predecessors, Mr. President, have done much to accomplish this end. We expect no less from your administra- tion of this venerable Institution. I would not be considered, in any sense, a representative Kentuckian, if I did not recognize the presence of the array of beauty which beams so- brightly upon us from yonder galleries. Whatever his faults, the Kentuckian claims to possess one redeeming virtue — his chivalrous admiration and rever- ence for woman. '• With Apollo scarce deigning to .share The empire of glorious day, She beams with a splendor so rare That he yields to her absolute sway ; She quickens the life of the young, She revives the dull spirit of age, And the charm of her musical tongue Will silence the words of the sage." To the guidance of two such monitors as woman and Centre College we may safely confide oiu' future. response: OF Gov. T. T. Crittendkn, It is no small honor to respond to one of the toasts on this occasion. Great changes have taken place at this College, in fact throughout the world, since the Class of 1855, of which I was a member, bade adieu to these old classic walls. Its then revered head, primus inter pares, has been gathered to his reward, as a shock of ripe corn, and now we are assembled to witness the installation of his son to the Presidency, upon whose stalwart young shoulders will rest as gracefully, and we hope as ably, the mantel so long worn by his great father. It is seldom a son can stand in and fill the shoes of his father, and it is less sel- dom that the son transcends the father. The j^ounger Pitt did it in England, the younger Adams did it in America. Comparisons often make such succes- sions less desirabU, but when even equality obtains, a higher appreciation is bestowed by a generous public, and the successor becomes, as Burke said of the younger Pitt, not only a chip of the old block, but the old block itself. I con- gratulate this young scion of a double stock on his elevation, believing he will not lower the standards of his eminent father; that the times have not yet drifted Kentucky, and the whilom friends of this once famous College, so far from the wisdom of the past, as well as the present, as to curtail its patronage because of its religious relations towards the old Assembly, because of a senti- ment determined and buried long years ago by the abitrament of the sword. Were I able to call the roll of its graduates from the Class of 1823 to 1860, together with its thousands of irregulars who graced its halls, and could have a response from the South as well as the North, and could, by some super-human power, make alive again its loved dead, of all trades, of all professions,- and assemble them in the auditorium of this College, from the quiet family ceme- teries, as well as from the historic battle-fields, where all sleep together as they died together, calmly awaiting the judgment day, me thinks but one voice, but one expression, would be heard from the living and the recalled, accentuating the hope and prayer, " in thoughts that breathe and words that burn," that old Centre College should again be revived, rebuilt and rehabilitated, as the whole country had been, and started on a newer and grander career, that its sons in the future as well as in the past "may be as plants grown up in their youth, and its daughters as corner-stones, polished after the similitude of a palace." Kentucky is full of the tenderest, boldest and grandest historic reminis- iNAUCii'KAi. ceremo.\ip:,s. 33 cences. Its very name is redolent of the past, recalling the most daring pioneers, the noblest builders of a commonwealth, the ablest orators, statesmen and sol- diers, the most elevated mothers, the fairest of daughters and the purest of legislators, " without unspotted, innocent within," who laid deep and strong the foundations of the State in law and equity, " ji:>ro ecclesia et patrla," on which rests to-day the greatness of its present name. It is a Pantheon of dead heroes and dead institutions, whose scholars have occupied every position in Church and State, from the Yice-Presidency to the magistracy of a township, from the judicial ermine to the Presidency of its foremost college, filling them to the fullest measure of honorable service, without a stain upon their character. Transylvania and Bacon Colleges should teach the lesson that great names will not always preserve a college, any more thau a man, from the moi talitj' of this age. Those were great and popular institutions in their day. What disease touched and infected their systems is not for me to say. Permit me to say here that sectionalism and bigotry should never enter a collegiate institution. The air encasing them should be free from all such deadly germs. I shall hail the day when there shall be but one representative Presbyterian College in Ken- tucky, when all the branches of that grand old Church shall be united on an educational basis, and on that other grander one of one Church, one country and one General Assembly. I still love this State with the fervor of a native son, undiminished " one jot or tittle " by long absence, in whose bosom repose every member of my ancestral family, father, mother, brothers and sisters, and my heart's desire is to see it moving on the elevated plane of leadership in education, in morality and in sound judgment. I make this api^eal to the Church and State I love so well, for a union of hearts and of hands, in no spirit of censoriousness, not as an intruder or busybody, but as a citizen of both the Church and State, in those high spiritual requirements of citizenship, believing there is as much a living force in the expression to-day as when spoken, " a house divided against itself shall not stand." The geographical position of Kentucky makes it for the West and South a natural educational center — equally accessible in fact to all parts of the coun- try — possessing a climate almost as genial as that of Italj^, without the extremes of the North or the South, with a society true to every prompting of honor, elevated in every emotion, act and teaching, with a womanly and manly bear- ing in the presence of son, student, and servant that excites the admiration and iuutation of all, with a graceful familiarity to all in their respective positions without inviting the insolence of either class. There is an indefinable some- thing in the air, soil and society of Kentucky which makes it the natural loca- tion of colleges. Its history is an encyclopedia of examples and precedents which invite the greatest admiration and most critical examination. What is the duty of all Kentuckians is now the j)ressing question of the day with these people. Opportunities, like time and tide, wait for no man. If taken at the Itood they lead to success, if omitted the train moves on with terrific speed. I see striking evidences of prosperity all over the South which sat for so many years after the war " The Xiohe of nations. Childless and crowuless in her voifeless woe." 34 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. God speed the day when that beautiful land of the sun and the bird shall rise resplendent in its new birth, like a strong man ready to run a race, more radiant than ever before, " With flowers in the valley, splendor in the Ijeam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stivam." I believe Kentucky is just entering on its most propitious career. Hereto- fore its glory, strength and wealth have been in the Blue Grass region and in the agricultural productions in the middle and southern parts of the State. The eastern or mountainous portion of it was looked upon as the Nazareth of the State, filled with poverty, ignorance and lawlessness. To-day it is the greatest mine and center of mineral, water power and lumber wealth in the State, and will, sooner or later, pay more money directly and indirectly into its coffers than any of those other parts which have for so long been the theme of the orator and the song of the poet. Soon a new race and a new energy will dis- place the turbulence and the lawlessness of that region which for so many years incurred the censure of the press, the pulpit and the public. In view of her past, present and future history, Kentucky owes it to her name and fame to stand out boldly and firmly upon the living issues of the day, with the deter- mination of once again becoming the foremost of all the Southern States. Nothing will so effectually accomplish this as the unity of her scholastic advan- tages. Those great religious leaders on both sides, and there are truly great and good ones on both sides, should discard at this time, at this distant day, from the stone of stumbling and the rock of offense, the pride of "the cold, formal- istic theology and ecclesiastical technicalities" which have obtained so long, for the nobler purpose of adjusting the educational facilities of the State to meet the demands of the multiplied thousand sons and daughters of this land. Think not that the intelligent children of Kentucky will not inquire why these divisions, why remaining so long after peace has come; why can't the Chris- tians, the soldiers of the cross, forgive and forget, as the old soldiers of both armies have done; why perpetuate the war in the churches and colleges, when but one fiag fioats in peace from the Capitol of our common country, over every church and school in the land, an ensign of love, unity, good will ? The child only looks at the present, unmindful of the future. The thought- ful man forgets the present in looking to the demands and responsibilities of the future. Great minds, moved by noble purposes, have the power of lifting the curtains of the future, gazing at the myriads of wonders asleep in the womb of time, and forming plans in harmony with those coming events. Smaller minds prefer to fight the battles over of the present and past. Emerson says a statesman is always twenty years ahead of the present and the masses, and is ever leading them up to the higher, broader plains of thought and action, as Moses led the bonded Jews from the enslavement of Egypt to the freedom of the promised land. Are there now such statesmen in theology, as well as politics, in both branches of the Presbyterian Churches in Kentucky who can, who will, lead those respective sides from the political fields of tainted prejudices, "a cistern for foul toads to knot and gender in, up to the bright i^lane of religious brother- IXATGURAL CEKEMOXIES. 35 hood, where all can walk in the old paths and stand up in the ancient ways?" If so, this is the time to speak, to act, to " Throw off the shackles of usurped coutrol, And hew them link from link," teaching a united conntrj^ that there is a united church in Kentucky, which is the beginning of the end of a divided Church and a divided General Assembly in America. I have siioken, I hope, in the words of soberness and truth, to a people loved as I love none other, to whom I can say: "Thy people shall be my peo- ple, and thy God my God," for one purpose, and one purpose alone — the unity of the church and the unity of its schools. I have spoken as the resident of a distant and a great State, which is marching abreast of the times, in all great practical questions, a broad empire of thought, wealth and progress, thousands of whose sons and daughters have come from your own homes, all looking back to their old native State with the jDrayer trembling on every lip — God bless Kentucky! It is too great a State to be the battlefield of policies based upon individual ambitions. It should move beyond them as the giant does beyond the dwarf. My prediction is, if the present generation of churchmen, as well as citizens, does not settle these religious differences, born alone of the passions of the past, that an invading and post bellum born gener- ation, whose tread will be onward, having no thought of yesterday, but only of to-morrow, will sweep down on those airy bubbles glistening for a moment only in the sunshine of to-day, dissipating them as the sun in its coming does the fog of the morning, as a pestilent congregation of vapors. May it come at an early day, in tlie majesty of power, law, love and religious brotherhood, is the prayer of an old alumnus of Centre College. R.KSPONSE Rev. ti. WL. KlEIvD, D. D. Mr. President : A toast is like a text, a good i^oint to start from, though no farther reference be made to it in what fohows. As for "The Press," it is so accustomed to speak for itself, and blows its own trumjDet so long and loud, that I think I may be excused from repeating its praises now. Instead of that, let me rather speak of what is before me, filling at once my eyes and my heart — dear Old Kentucky ! I have heard much of the Old Kentucky Home, and am beginning to feel how warm is the atmosphere under its roof; how brightly the fires burn upon the hearth. Happy indeed is the stranger within your gates ! Happy the guest who enters your ever-open doors, and receives your kindly welcome and shares your generous hosijitality. From my boyhood there has been a kind of romance about this State ; there was music in the very name. I used to hear it said that it was worth a journey to Washington to hear Henry Clay pronounce the word " Kentucky," which he uttered with a certain tenderness in his voice, as if he were speaking of his mother. We in the Eafet have heard of the famous " Hunters of Kentucky," and have always thought of this as peculiarly the region of " fair women and brave men." When Governor Buckner spoke of your women, I observed something in his manner which showed how his heart had been touched. Of the men he could not say so much. They were brave indeed, but perhaps a little too brave — brave to a fault, which made them more than willing to pitch into any little " unpleasant- ness " that might be going on, a share in which might give a pleasing variety to the dullness of common life. Hence the State had incurred the reputation of lawlessness. On this point I have no experience, and indeed who can dispute a Governor ? This I am quite willing to confess, that a Kentuckian is a man whom I had much rather have as a friend than as an enemy ! Perhaps he is a little too hasty in his quarrels, or, as you might say, a little "too quick on the trigger"; but a quick temper may go with a manly heart. It is often allied with courage and devotion ; and indeed I might almost say that it is these quick-tempered, high-spirited men, who would not bear injustice and wrong, who in one country or another — in America or England, in Scotland or Switzer- land — have fought all the battles and gained all the victories of liberty. And, sir, if the whole truth be told, I am afraid we must confess that we all — men of the East as well as of the West— belong to a fighting race. Whether IXAlXilTRAL CERKMOXIES. 37 there be a law of natural selection in the vegetable and animal kingdoms, cer- tairtly in races of men there is a law of the survival of the fittest. It is not merely by accident that the Anglo-Saxon has marched to the front in so many quarters of tlie world. On the other side of the globe, I have seen a hundred thousand Englishmen asserting dominion over two hundred millions of Asiatics, carrying the Fiery Cross of England from the palm-groves of Ceylon to the snows of the Himalayas, and I have been proud to think that I belonged to that mighty, conquering race. Nor is this positive character, this strong self-assertion, held in check by religious faith. The Roundheads of Cromwell, saints as they were, were fight- ing men, who, though they did not put their trust v:hoIhj in an arm of flesh, thought it a convenient addition to spiritual forces, and obeyed the direction of their great leader, to "trust in God and keep their powder dry." And so it was M-ith the Fathers of New England. They came to this country, it is said, to find a place where they might have freedom to worship God. This is true ; but they were determined to ha.'e the place. When the Mayflower, after a stormy voyage of five months, dropped her anchor, and the first Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, if the natives had met them with poisoned arrows, they would not have replied with the Catechism or with psalms. They did not believe that the Almightj^, who had made the earth for the habitation of men, had reserved a whole continent to tribes of wandering savages ; and so they planted their feet firmly on " the wild New England shore," as men who had come to stay. But they had to fight for existence ; they fought against the Winter's cold on the bleak, inhospitable coast — against the imminent danger of dying by famine. But when they had fixed their habitation, then indeed they lifted up their voices in praise to Him who had brought them safely across the mighty waters, and ■• The sounding aisles of the dim woods rang Witli the anthem of the free." Yet even after that^-for years and generations — their history was a strug- gle and a combat. They were surrounded by enemies, and when they went to work in the fields, it was with the implements of agriculture in one hand and the weapons of war in the other. Now they fought against the Indians, as in old King's Philip's war; and now they fought against the devil, as he showed himself in witches, or in evil devices for corrupting religion and morals. By such exercise of their manly strength, they asserted themselves as the masters of the New World. All this was due to that intensity of courage and of will which the Bible calls "a fire in the bones," a spark of which is still in them. I do believe, if you were to dig up one of those old Puritans, who has been dead and buried for two hundred years, and take a piece of his fore-finger bone, and put it in one of your old flint-lock muskets, it would strike fire as quick as any flint ever used by the hunters of Kentucky. In those brave, stalwart men, I see the fore-runners of the early settlers of your own great Commonwealth. It is not doing yourselves justice to represent the latter as mere hunters, after the type of Daniel Boone. Huntsmen they were indeed, for on this they had often to depend for subsistence; but they 38 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. were much more. Very many of them were Scotch-Irish Preshyterians, de- scendants of the men M'ho fought at the Siege of Londonderry, and wefe as truly "God-fearing" as the Puritans of New England. If you would choose the true type of the " Pioneer of Kentucky," you must picture a man of giant stature, who strode over the mountains with the fear of God in his heart (he feared nothing btit God), and his rifle on his shoulder. And when he had built his log-cabin in the depths of the forest, or far up on the mountain side, the smoke that every morning curled up in the frosty air was but a type of the incense that went up as the man of iron frame bowed before the great fire-place, with his wife and little ones, and pra} ed for the protection of the God of Israel over his home in the wilderness. In the century that followed, Kentucky passed through strange vicissitudes of fortune — tiues of peace and of war, of prosperity and adversity. As a Bor- der State, it has been in the track of marching armies, and the theater of hard- fought battles. The people were divided, the line of division running, not only through counties and towns and cities, but through households. The most dis- tinguished families of Kentucky — the Clays and Crittendens and Breckinridges — were divided, brother fighting against brother, but they were brothers still; and when the cruel war was over, and the boys came marching home, they broke ranks as soon as they caught sight of their old home, and rushed into each other's arms. Ah, my brothers! love is stronger than death: many waters can- not quench it nor floods drown it. You, Sir, have alluded to some things that I have written of the South, in which you think I have spoken kindly and generously. I do confess to a very warm feeling towards her. I honor the courage of her sons in the day of bat- tle, and I feel deeply for all that war has brought upon her; and if any word of mine can soften the bitterness of the past, or lead those who have suffered so much to look more hopefully to the future, it shall not be wanting. Surely we maj^ indulge in some pleasant reflections as we contrast the pres- ent with the past. Here are those who took part in the war, and fought on op- posite sides ; and yet we are so mingled together that we cannot tell one from the other. I would not that any of you should forget your heroic dead, on whichever side they fought. Often as the year comes round, and brings with it Decoration Day, we go to the place where they sleep, and lay our ofl'eriugs on their graves. Never shall we forget them, nor cease to mourn their loss. But let us not think, because they are gone, everything is gone. Thank God, the COUNTRY remains! The same blue skies are over oUr heads, and the same solid earth under onr feet ; and it is our privilege, one and all, to labor for the same land oi our birth, hereafter "one and inseparable." I am proud to sit here to-day by the side of your noble Governor, the states- man and the soldier, whom you have learned to respect in war and in peace, and for whom we at the North have a very tender feeling as the friend of Gen, Grant. Fellow-students at West Point, companions in-arms in Mexico, they were pitted against each other in the late war, yet never lost their love for each other— a love which showed itself when, in his sick room, not long before his death. General Grant opened his heart to his old friend, expressing his earnest IXAL'GUKAL CEREMONIES. 1^9 desire for restored friendsliip between the North aud the South, saying that he was willing to die if his death could contribute in any degree to that blessed consumiuiation. On the day that General Grant was borne to his grave, I saw- General Bucklier among the pall-bearers, riding in the same carriage with Gen- eral Sheridan ; while at their side, in another carriage, sat General Sherman and General Johnston ! It was a sight never to be forgotten, when men wept in sorrow and in joy — in sorrow for the great soldier that was borne to his grave, and in joy at the sight of such a spectacle of reconciliation. In this work of restoring the Union, institutions like this have a part. They are uniting influences. What a history was that which was detailed to us this forenoon ! You have told us how the germ of the College was in the first school ever opened in Kentucky — indeed before Kentucky was a State — in 1785, under a charter granted by the Legislature of Virginia. It was founded by a Presbyterian minister — one of those sturdy preachers of the Gospel who were pioneers of all that was good in education as well as in religion. Like all the colleges of the East, it was the child of poverty ; born in struggles ; begun in faith and prayer ; but what a work it has done in its life of a hundred years ! The period of its greatest influence was during the Presidency of Dr. Young, of blessed memory', who stamped his image and superscription upon the bright, intelligent minds and faces of hundreds of young men, who went forth from its halls to become Governors, Senators, Judges, and to adorn every profession and walk of life. During the last half of the existence of this College, it has fallen on troub- lous times. It was broken up by the war, the young men, with the ardor of Kentuckians, rushing to the field. After the war there came a long period of strife and litigation. It was dragged into the courts, and its jDossession was the object of contest. At last its proprietorship was determined as it now is, and it began a period of resurrection. But exhausted life comes back slowly, and it was years before it had a name to live. Still there were those who loved it. Faithful teachers clung to it, and if the classes were small, yet they were dilli- gently taught, and went forth well equipped for service. In the course of time, as the venerated preceptor, who in the interval had laresided over it, felt com- pelled to retire under the weight of years, it chose a President who bore a name associated with the most glorious period in its history — that of Dr. W. 0. Young, under whom it now begins a new career; and the question we are asking to-day is, " WJiat sJiall its future be .^" To the success of a great institution, the first necessity is a max, who shall be its inspiring soul. Agassiz desired the word " Teacher " to be engraved upon his tomb, as designating the character of which he was most proud, and indi- cating his title to the grateful remembrance of future generations. A man is more important than buildings. Some rich men conceive the idea of founding a College, to be a monument of their wisdom and liberality. It is a noble ambition. The mistake they make is to think that money can buy everything. But a College is not made by splendid architecture. General Garfield said : "I had rather study in a log-cabin, sitting at one end of a school bench, if Marl- Ilopkhnf iras at the otiiee, than to have the luxuries and appoint- 40 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. ments of the most richly-endowed university, without that inspiration." The first thing, therefore, is to get your man, and I think you have found him in one who is not only the heir of an illustrious name— the son of his father — but the inheritor of his great abilities. This secured, the next point is to have all needed appliances for study. It takes money, and a great deal of it, to erect buildings, and furnish libraries and laboratories for the study of natural science, and to endow an institution that can hold any position alongside of the great colleges and universities of the day. Where is it to come from ? There is money enough in the country ; enor- mous wealth, but unhappily the great fortunes are in the hands oi men who are absorbed in schemes of speculation, and who will not take time to think of the wants of future generations. But here and there is a man who has a for- tune, and who has alfco the rare gift of a soul. He does not think only of his own selfish interests. If he has been a poor boy, he thinks of other poor boys, and wishes that they may have opportunities that were denied to him. To found a school of technology, of engineering^ or for education in the mechanic arts, is a way of helping others that appeals to his generous nature, and he takes more delight in doing good than in hoarding millions for heirs to tight over or to squander. We look about for these men of fortune who have not lost every spark of maiihood. A few years since there was a great discovery on the other side of the mountains— of oil-wells that sent up from the very bowels of the earth that which furnished the material for lighting the houses and streets and cities, not of America only, but of the whole world. It has brought to its possessors wealth beyond the dreams of avarice. What a grand thing it would be if it should occur to some one among them — a prince in fortune and a prince in soul — to lay a " pipe-hne" across the mountains, so that literally " rivers of oil " should flow over the Blue-grass region of Kentucky ! The Alma Mater around which we gather to-day is not an experiment, like the new colleges which are started in so many places West and South, whose success is yet to be proved. It is already a Century Plant. It has lived a hun- dred years, and yet it has not grown old, nor shown any signs of weakness or decay. On the contrary, it has just renewed its youth, as it enters on its second century. Such a College has a life of its own, which is far more enduring than, ours. Men die, but institutions live. Your honored father has gone to the grave, and you will follow him, but the College which you have loved will live when you are laid in the dust. What it has done in the past, it will do in the future, only on a broader scale, and with a longer duration. As it has already educated three generations, so it may educate three, or thirty, generations to come! It has great advantages in its geographical position. Situated west of the mountains, it does not come into rivalship with the older institutions of the East. In the early days it was such a nucleus of the new settlements that it was called Centre College. This beautiful town was a sort of Jerusalem to which the tribes came up. Now the theater of its influence has broadened to the West. New Territories have been opened. But Kentucky is still one of IXAUGURAI. CEREMOXIKS. 41 the central States of the Union, and is especially favored in that it lies at the liead ef those rivers, which, running westward and southward, make the Great Valley. Across it flow the Cumberland and the Tennessee, to add their volume to the Ohio, which in its turn empties into the Mississippi. These mighty- rivers are not merely highways of commerce, but of civilization. Cast your bread upon the waters, and you shall find it after many days. Scatter the seeds of knowledge, and the waters shall bear them, and the very winds shall waft them, out of your sight, to spring up and bear fruit beyond the Western horizon. Five hundred years ago there died in England a man who had given to bis country the priceless possession of the English Bible, and who had fought against the superstitions of Rome with such boldness that he was called the Reformer before the Reformation, for he died a hundred years before Luther was born. Forty years after he was in his grave, his body was dug up by order of the Pope and burned, and the ashes thrown into the river Avon. But this, impotent rage only gave new courage to his followers, who saw in this scatter- ing of his dust to the winds and waves, that would sweep it far away, a token of the wider dissemination of the faith which he taught ; and " some prophet of that day said" — so spake Daniel Webster on a memorable occasion, when he quoted these lines, which, uttered in his deep voice, produced a thrilling effect— * ■■ The Avon to the Severn runs; The Severn to the sea ; And Wickliffe's dust shall spread abroad, Wide as the waters be." May I not use the same figure to illustrate the influence, ever flowing and. ever widening, of an institution like this, and say. The Ohio to the Mississippi runs : The Mississippi to the sea ; And Old Ketucky's blood — [running with a swift current in the veins of her sons and daughtei'S, and. through her halls of learning and religion] — shall spread abroad. Wide as the waters be. RESPONSE OF Rev. S. A. IVLUTCHIVIORE, D. D. Mr. Presidext, Ladies and Gentlemen : In response to this toast I find onyself in the quandary of the boy visiting a playmate, whose mother not only ■gave him a pancake, but deluged it with molasses, at the sight of which he be- gan to cry, and when asked the cause of his grief he said, " There's so much •sweetening I don't know what end to begin." There has been so much sweet- ening poured over Centre College and the citizens of Danville by the orators of the occasion that I do not know where to begin. It is a great joy to see you, Mr. President, in the place so noble in treasures of the past, so full of possibilities for the future, the fulfillment of the hopes of your beloved father, with the con- fidence and enthusiasm of the Alumni, the singular accord of the Synod and the Board of Trustees, and the great pleasure of these citizens in whose midst you were born and reared. I may say that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this. You will remember that I told you years ago, that it was your destiny and duty, and claim not to be a prophet from foresight, but from common sense in regard to the duties and events of the day. I have a pro- found belief in the transmission of noble qualities through the lines of breeding. You belong to an honorable line on all sides, and let it not be forgotton that your paternal ancestors and mine were of the same blood, who came across from Londonderry in their own ship and landed on the Delaware. And I would have my brother. Dr. Field, understand that the Puritans did not all land in New England, but some on the Delaware, in Maryland, in North and South Carolina were, too, men of the heroic grit and " ossified fire" of which he has spoken. But while a man may be braced by noble ancestors, he must be able to fight the battles of life for himself and by himself. In the days of staging over the Eocky Mountains, a young man was riding alone in a coach, while the driver, according to the habit of those days, was driving his horses down the mountain side at full speed, fire flying from their hoofs and rings of fire from the wheels. The young man kept crying, " Driver, stop ! stop ! " but, his fears only provoking mirth in the reckless Jehu, he cried in desperation, " Driver, you don't know who I am." "Well, young man, who be you?" "I'm the grandson of John Quincy Adams." " Well, yoxmg man, we don't go much on ■daddyism out here." This is not an age that goes much on " daddyism;" in it a man must stand on his own "pins." The glory of Centre College has always been that she taught men to stand on their own legs, to think for themselves, ^nd to have the courage of their own convictions. INAUGURAL CKREMOXIKS. 43 You have appointed to nie the sul)ject of the xiinistry, its relations to the College and community. There is not a spot on earth so well suited to the develoisment of the highest type of the Christian ministry as this in which Centre College is located. Com- munity has made the College and the College has made community. Ministerial ideas have dominated for half a century. Throughout the State its lawyers are half- preachers; all the professions carry the ministerial image, are modified by its ideal and more or less conti'olled by its ethics. In order to present the relation of Centre College to the ministry, I must refer to the moulding influences of the College and the citizens upon myself as an example only of what it did for the rest. Whatever ministerial success has come to me was through the inspira- tion of the great men who held the places of teachers and preachers in the Col- lege and Seminary. The presence of Dr. Young had the effect over young men of that matchless piece of statuary, the Apollo Belvidere, which no man can see without stretching up toward the measure and beauty of the grand ideal. As a teacher, he was a philosopher, his abilities in the department of psychology and ethics were masterful ; he surveyed the whole field, but was more than a surveyor, more than a definer of boundaries in the regions of thought ; he was able to set all parts and products of the mind in their true relations. He com- bined what is rarely seen — great intellectual faculties with beauty, and symmet- ry of person. He was genial as the sunshine, and attracted young life to be clothed with his own powers. As a minister of the Gospel, in his own person- ality, he was without a peer and beyond comparison. No man will ever forget who heard those wonderful sermons of his, clothed in the royal dress of his lan- guage and inspired by the Holy Ghost, when that unearthly paleness suffused his countenance as he went feeling after the hearts of men, both drawing and compelling their surrender to Christ. At this time there was a remarkable galaxy of preachers, with hardly a trace of likeness in style or spirit. Dr. Breckinridge was in the vigor of his magnificent powers, resistless and persua- sive, whose intellectual image is stamped on all that he wrote or spoke. The j'oung ministry of that time were influenced, too, by Dr. Edward P. Humphrey, a preacher and teacher in his own peculiar personalty, not only imparting truth, but suggesting it to the inquiring mind. Elegant in diction, his sentences were like well set jewels, analytical and logical. As a man, his image will never fade fj-om memory, his inspirations never depart from the men and minds of his time. Nor would it l^e possible to give an idea of the moulding power of the College and Seminary upon the ministry of the time, without reference to that other •wonderful preacher. Dr. Stuart Robinson, sui generis, the greatest expositor of his age, whose sermons can never fade in power or brilliancy, in terror or pleadings of love on any w'ho ever heard them. Such sermons as those on "Dives and Lazarus," " Lord, to Whom Shall We Go?" " The Prodigal Son" and " The Spirit and the Bride Say Come," are as vivid in memory as if their echoes were ringing through this hour. Nor was the influence of Prof. Scott less upon the students who heard him as pastor, or were instructed as their professor. That piercing eagle eye, that intense earnestness, glowing like the light from in- terior fires, still live in whatever soul-saving power has been bulked in the 44, INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. ministry sent out from Centre College and Danville Theological Seminaiy. Everything and everybody about this place seemed pitched to the highest ideal of ministerial life. Even the slaves of the time lent their aid. I have always had a warm side for them, because they heard me preach when nobody else would, and had even the temerity to say that it was good preaching, when I could not look them in the face without blushing. The people appreciated the ministry, went to hear good or bad, and inspired them by their presence and kind words. Only one of the group of those great personages is before me to- day, the man who conducted the College safely over the chasm opened by pa- ternal strife, and has laid it down a precious treasure into your hands all safe, to begin, as we hope, a larger circle and a brighter disk than ever before, the ven- erable retiring President, Dr. Beatty, who did me the honor this day to say, . " He is one of my boys." Mr. President, I heard you say, this morning, that Centre College was to be distinguished henceforth by inspiring and tutoring young men into sacred eloquence, for eloquence is perishfng from the face of the earth. The newspapers are its foes, the judges of the court are its foes, so that now no man in the courts dares to be eloquent without rebuke, and it is only left for the ministry to keep the divine fire burning. Here you have a work all your own and here triumphs and trophies which will make our Alma Mater immortal. RESPONSE Ji_idge A. P. HUN/LPHREY. I do not know that the pubhc men of Centre College are in any marked respect different from other public men. " In the world's broad field of battle," her Alumni have borne their full part in the conflict. They have taken with them away from these halls a full measure of generous enthusiasm and honor- able ambition. Entering upon that " race where emulation hath her thousand sons who one by one pursue," they have not suffered themselves to become '• pavement for the abject rear." I believe there is no ofRce within the gift of the people of this State which has not been bestowed on a graduate of this Col- lege. The same is true of Federal office, with the single exception of the Presidency of the United States. And there have been, and are now, and will hereafter be, Alnmni who would accept that place. In the Senate of the United States and in the House of Representatives and on the Supreme Bench our Alma Mater has just reason for pride in the influence and achievements of her honored sons. I will not in this matter attempt to be personal or statistical. And if by public men is meant those who have given their lives to the service of mankind, to its elevation, to its ennoblement, to the consolation of its unfor- tunate, to the peace of its troubled, to the lifting up of its fallen, then indeed would time fail to tell of those who, going from these halls, have served and are now serving their generation. But to my mind this is rather a season for looking forward than backward ; for taking resolution for the future than for congratulation over the past. Time hatli, my Lord, a wallet at his back, Wherein he puts alms for oblivion ; A great-sized monster of ingratitude, Those scraps are good deeds pa.st. I know that it is not possible for us who are gathered here not to look back. But the lesson we should learn is one of inspiration. What ties are so strong as the cords of memory that stretch from our hearts to the graves of our dead? Let us ask ourselves a moment what this means. In giving us some account of what manner of man he was, Marcus Antoninus sets down in the very begin- ning what were his obligations to those who went before him. He tells us that from his grandfather he learned good morals; from his father, modesty and manliness ; from his mother, piety and beneficence and abstinence not only 46 INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. from evil deeds, but even from evil thoughts. What a noble pride of ancestry- is this. And then of his obligations to his teachers; how from one he learned to endure freedom of speech ; from another, discipline of temper; from another, steadiness of purpose ; from another, to refrain from fault-finding ; from another, to love truth and justice. Here was a man who knew and could not fail to know that his name would endure through the ages. He was determined that those who had knowledge of him should, upon the very threshold of that knowledge, understand how very much of what he was came from those who had gone before him. Is this not true of all of us? When we open the ledger of our lives, what are we first to write upon it? On its debic side we are bound to set down our obligations; what has come to us from parents and teachers and friends; what capital they have contributed to the business of our lives. It is for us, then, to create the credits which shall balance these debits ; to write upon this other page that we have handed down to posteritj'^ this, and this, and this which we received ; that to balance what was supplied to us, we have fur- nished the next generation with a corresponding benefit. This, then, is the pressing business of to-day. We know what we received here, or might have received here — what of sound learning, of high impulse, of noble aim, of gen- erous and patriotic instinct. Is the next generation to receive less or more ? It is for us to answer this question not in words but in deeds. The important thing is, that we catch the contagion of the time. There belongs to some of us more, to others less, ability. But if each will in his several strength do but a tithe of what he can there will be continued and broadened and strengthened here an institution of learning, " so famous, so excellent in art and still so rising, that Christendom shall ever speak its virtue." RESPONSE Hon. JOHN YOUNG BROWN. The text assigned to me is axiomatic, and if I wander from it the occasioii is my apology. Shadows of the past rise and beckon me. More than three decades have passed since I stood within the walls of Centre College as a stu- dent. The memories of those days of my boyhood gather around me. Then the life before me seemed an unread poem, and delusive hope promised that, as- I turned the pages, they should be illuminated with only pleasant pictures, and all things be made possible to ambition. The inspiration of the spot brings back to me with vividness the faces of my college comrades and my teachers. Supreme in the group are the benig- nant features of him who was then the President of this institution.
