OFFICIAL PAPER ; OF THE— v ?ITY OF ST. PAUL. VOL. XXIV.--NO. 294. SONS OFJW GATHER Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniver sary of lis Founding Begins - at New Haven. Services Are in Accord With the Devout and Reverent Traditions of : New England. I NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 20.—Yale university began today the celebration 5f the 2.oth anniversary of the founding of Yale college.' The bicentennial of the great institution of learning was ushered In with ceremonies essentially religious. . • The services were performed in accord WitS the devout and reverent traditions of the good old New England days when the little handful of clergymen gathered together- and with prayerful supplications asked Divine blessing upon the institution Which they had conceived and fought for. The old hymns were sung and powerful sermons were uttered. . The city, proud in its function as a seat of learning, had bedecked itself in Yale's colors and presented a splendid spectacle. Blue draperies were intertwined with new cut evergreen, and this general scheme of color was- broken only by the graceful folds of the Stars and Stripes. The principal streets had become arch ways of blue, adorned at intervals with pictures of President Roosevelt, who on "Wednesday is to be Yale's guest and who * on that day will become a son of Yale when the university's honorary degree is conferred upon him. From the simple ' school of 1701 Yale today found herself a g: iat university, developed through the years from a one-building institution, down through '"her brick row" to a cam pus, thence to a second campus and now to a third, and stretching out in her de partmental buildings to territory as great again Within Battle chapel, where the bicen- tennial was inaugurated' the services were participated in by an assemblage as imposing as the exercises were simple. On the ostrum sat President Arthur Twining t* 'dley. At his right was Rev. Joseph i'\ veil, D. D., of Hartford, the preacher of the bicentennial sermon. To bis left was Thomas G. Bennett, of the Yale corporation. Next to Dr. Twichell" sat former President ' Timothy Dwight. On one «nd was Hon. Henry '. Howland, of New York; on the other, Rev. Charles Ray Falmer, both fellows of the univers ity corporation. Both wore gowns of their order. Below in the chairs were the stu dents. The body of the church was oc cupied in the central aisle by distin guished- guests and ladies, who wore gowns of many colors. The rest of the • ground seats were filled with* Yale grad '. uates, .while the two galleries were re solved for ladies.', y '."""': ' '• The service began at 10:30 a. m. A chant by the choir was followed by the, Lord's Prayer.. President Hadley read a lesson from the scriptures, and after the Te,' Deum - the vast congregation '% sang Psalm LXV. Rev. Joseph 'Hopkins Twichell, of Hartford, the senior fellow V Of the corporation, preached the sermon. : Mr. Twiche^ s topic was ."Academic Memories." He spoke of Yale college as owing its origin to the sense of the para mount importance of the spiritual factor of life conjoined with the conviction of th-> virtue of liberal learning to conserve '• and replenish.it. He.said: 'The founders were of comparatively humble degree in their time, but they, were distinctly representatives .of that type and order of men appearing; in all who, believing the c "Immaterial and the eternal more than the temporal,7 have achieved the principal part of. all best worth doing and daring in this world. The views and ideas with which they were permeated have held their ground - in this institution from its planting." He closed by invoking a new dedication of.the university to -that Christian science to which •in the beginning it was ' dedi cated. ; „ .-The: closing hymn was "I Love. Thy Kingdom, Lord," written by Rev. Tim othy Dwight, D. D.. LL.D., president of .Yale college from 1795 to'lßl7.- Then was sung the vDoxology and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Timothy Dwight, president, of the university from 1866 to 1599. y:;-;.:y; y" ;: OTHER SPECIAL SERVICES. Meanwhile special bicentennial services were held in other churches of the city, and special sermons were preached by Rev. Newman Smyth, D. D., in the Cen ter church; Rev. Joseph Anderson, D. D., of Waterbury, in the United church, and Rev. Walter Wesley Battershall, D. D., of Albany, in Trinity church. .-Air of these churches are located on the historic green adjacent to the college property, and ; for many years the college com- mencement exercises were- held in Center '. church. ■_.. - - -■'-.- : . "Scholarships and the Study of God" was the subject of Dr. Anderson's sermon in the United church. -He discussed "the 'early days of the college, dwelling upon ; the aims of the founders and speaking of the advance made in 200 years, in educa tional methods, morals and manners. ! • "But what," he asked, "shall we say of our progress in things Divine?"; 7 / '■'. "The two things which dominate our university life today are athletics and scientific research, and the ~ university . course, so far, as I have; pursued (with " reference' to the life that follows, is shaped for the securing of worldly suc cess, which means. the amassing of :. "wealth. What we find to be true at Yale we find to be true everywhere: else." Dr.' Anderson made an earnest plea ..for .the study of theology, not alone in 1 ; the Divinity school and pulpits, but in . ."" the thinking of the people. --"A university," he said, "should send forth not men of business alone to pro- 1 duce wealth, nor strong men alone, but men who are in fellowship with the un- I seen world and can bring men to. look it in the face, to do battle with mad com mercialism." _.-■/.. ' -- ' " ; yThe Rev. Walton Battershall, D. .D., in ; the course of his address on "The Old -Faith and New College," said: "Yak- faces •''- troubles and , hardships ■ wh.'ch it thought had been battered down with old savageries, dangers from new - philosophers, who- tell it that it needs : be lief not in God, nor, soul, nor immortal . ity, but only the spur of -selfishness,^the ; restraints ] of, the police and prudence and tie hope of improving Itself. in the human . -scramble.-. *• The doctrine y should ', gain/;a . larre percentage of converts, like -those '-wha" burrow/and plot in..;subterranean Europe, like some- of our recent importa . tions, like the one who a month ago struck down - the; president', and .; s?nt £ a /■nave; of horror around .the: world. - Civil , ization * would collapse like Va '- house of cards.

L. y.";'... ■ -..;. ';■ j ,' "As theological history within the pre-' cincts of the university only extends over the last three or four: decades the period is too brief to be reviewed at length on the present occasion. It is a period in all enlightened countries for the concentra tion of thought and inquiry upon histor ical foundations of Christianity, includ ing the life" person and work of Christ. It has introduced a new epoch in Biblical criticism, which compels learning, ] which adds inspiration and authority to the Bi ble. .Moreover, the state j) of , philosophy and new _ teachings and theories of -nat ural science have called for a reconstruc tion for the foundation" of theism. ; They have necessitated a new fortifying of the citadel of all religious faith..' ... y. "It may be said with propriety that Yale has been neither different nor silent on i these cardinal - questions '■'. of j,\ world wide interest. It is proper .to mention that in the field of apologetics the effort here has been to deal with the new prob lems in a spirit of candor, with mingled fearlessness and discretion. Few writers in recent days have; made more timely, fresh and effective contributions> pertain-, ing to the grounds of theism than our honored . and £ lamented - theologian, \ Dr. Samuel Harris. As to the questions pro posed under the head of higher criticism, whatever may be judged of the wisdom or want of wisdom in the Yale teaching, this at least can be affirmed, that there has been no'evasion of them ' and little inclination on ,the;; part ': of Yale -/'in structors, ostrich like, to hide their heads in the sand, and on the whole I venture to say the usual endeavor : has "beem, as in all previous periods of our academic history, to unite a genuine liberality with a wise and tenable conservatism." ..-. ■.- This evening at 8 o'clock in Battell chapel the college organist," Harry Ben mm Jepson, assistant: professor of ap plied music, gave an organ recital. :- " BATTLED WITH WAVES : CREW OP SWALLOW SAVED AFTER.

NEEDS OF THE NAVY ADMIRAL BOWLES, OP BUREAU OF CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR, MAKES SUGGESTIONS : ' PRESENT SYSTEM IS y FAULTY Dry Docks at. Havana and Manila ...Urgently^ Recommended Num ber of : Naval " Contractors Should Be Increased. /. • WASHINGTON, - Oct. 20.— annua* - report of Admiral Bowles,. chief of the; bureau of construction and repair, calls attention- to • the : slow-progress in con-: struction of ships c now building { for S the navy made/during the '•.- past year, owing to j strikes and delays in - the deliveries of materials and , steel forgings. „. He ; points out that under the present system-for. the purchase of armor, the responsibility for emanating from source rests with the government and renders '; it liable to suit for damages by the ship contractors. . The . construction bureau, he says, has made ."considerable, progress towards the . standardization of ship fittings, which," he , says; v will reduce the *j original 'cost '■ of ships -of "the navy and decrease the ex penses of their maintenance. | He touches "upon the tests of fire-proofed wood con-, ducted ' by his bureau, and says that ; while the products of ; the two; processes - submitted both have desirable qualities, yet neither of them commends itself to adaption by the navy. . : '." ; Admiral Bowles strongly recommends that the floating dry.dock at Havana, re cently purchased : from the Spanish gov ernment, be sent to the site of the new naval station at / Olongapo, Philippine islands, "as: soon as the repairs on it' are competed; It is essential, he says,- for the i efficiency; of; the navy.; on the" Asiatic i station, ' both from a strategical: and eco- j nomic standpoint, that the government should be in possession of a dry dock in .the i Philippines at the earliest .possible moment. He says that the . dock ; just purchased can be put in condition for the use of vessels "up to 10,000 tons displace ment within the limit of the sum appro priated' by t : congress for its acquirement.; ■ ~•; Admiral Bowles ' earnestly ; recommends an increase in the number of naval- con structors, which is now limited by law. to forty. ;This number, he says,: is entirely inadequate to -the-'pressnt needs of the service, and he urges that the limit of the' corps be increased by congress to sixty.: IHe ; says - that j the efficiency of the • navy yards plants throughout the/ country • is seriously, limited /by the number of " dry;" docks;- and - modern buildings y for the equipment of the yards.; The navy, yards, however, continue ;to present | a ■' fruitful; field for the ; application of modern engi neering to their mechanical equipment,* as well as J modern ;methods j of . organiza-• tion to the scheme of 'AdmiiMstrationi which, if -properly applied, should result in greater : efficiency in/ the conduct !-of work and j greater economy in the general' ■ expense which is now of their proportion• ;to the work done. / _.-'/■ • -' Admiral ■ Eowles says that the . construc tion bureau has . been tested" to its utmost capacity by the work ■:' of designing new vessels and supervising /vesselsnow build ing, and ; that these: conditions have been aggravated by -a | lack eof | space -in the department building available for ,th.c technical, and clerical?; staff '; of ; the bureau. -He: records. a ; lack" of; draughts men requisite ; for ..he designs, and ~ ex presses a desire for the appointment of ; more graduates of a technical education. : He recommends a class for 'carpenter's as ; an adjunct to the naval college. ' The num-; ; ■ ber of carpenters now obtainable. Admir ! al Bowles" says, 13 hardly sufficient for.the | use of the ships, and the number on shore duty, is totally inadequate to need?. He expresses a; wish that as soon as circum- I stances will; permit a ; school for the ; edu ■ cation of carpenters' : mates, be estab lished. ":. -■;.-; COL JAMES IS DEAD : PROMINENT 'WASHINGTON.
