IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEM10NT8.
Perhaps no feature of tho commence?

than Iho nnniitil nd.bes? of the dean of
the foculty, dealing with the past his?
tory of Ilio institution and containing
three or four announcements for tho fu?
ture, of vital Interest and Importane?,1 to
the great school. Among other things,
Dr. Hodges . gave to the public for tlie
first lime, the statement that plant? nro
now being made and nro almost matured
for a considerable enlargement ln tho
character and scope of the work of tho
University Coltene. The details of these
plans he did not mention, nor will the
authorities of the Institution discuss
them, but that they will provo of no

tively. Further statement was marie by
the dean to tbe effect that the University
College, 'after Inspection by a distin?
guished New York physician, will bo reg

Asido from tho conferring of denr?es,
the Interest centered mainly, of cours??,
iirhund the address of the Hon. Dan P.

doTil and pharmacy departments having
h_dh0 largest numbers In their history.
?? Pathological department during
th?*cnr has done valuable scientific work
un tho Pasteur department hus treated
me patients than in any former year.
robably, however, fine of the most
nable faots which I have to mention
f marking this year's work Is that to
A? Tir. H. L. Taylor, of the University
I . the Stato of New York, and represent- ?
Ilg the New York Board of Regents, in?
forms me that after a personal Inspection I
)f our InstTtutlon and Its courses of study
In the departments of medicine, dentistry
and pharmacy, the University College of
Medicine will be fully registered In New
York State by tho Board of Regents of
that State and thai Immediately on his re?
turn he will notify tho faculty officially '
of this recognition by the Board of Re?
gents.
This ls a distinct compliment and will
entitle all of our future graduates to the
same advantages and privileges accorded
any student graduating from any New
York college.
I desire to say that this recognition of
our standard of education by tho New
York Board of Regents ls appreciated by
the faculty, but we believe that It ls
nothing but a Just and merited recogni?
tion of our advanced educational meth?
ods. A higher compliment, however, to
our system ls the admitted fact that we
now maintain a higher grade of scholar?
ship than Is now required by the New
York oBard of Regent?.
In the elaboration and development of
higher professional education in this in?
stitution. It Is my pleasure to announc
here publicly for the first timo that plans
are now bolng made and are almost ma?
tured to further enlarge the scope and
character of the work being done by the
University College of Medicine and It ls
tho confident belief of the faculty that,
by these contemplated measures, this In?
stitution will have an even larger and
more effective field of usefulness ?han
ever In tho past.
This institution still holds membership
ln all of the accredited societies ln this
country which are organised for educa?
tional and sdentine professional advance?
ment and will strive by all proper means
to maintain tho confidence ot the profu?
sion and of the public,
G cannot close this hasty review of the
year's worK without recorfllng ihe faculty's
most generous commendation of the de?
portment and character of the work of
tho student body of the session Just
closing.
Tho faculty thoroughly appreciates their
noteworthy scholarship and earnest en?
thusiasm and pledges them their most
cordial co-operation ln all that tends to
tho fulfillment of future successful and
honorable careers ln their chosen profes?
sion.
SENATOR HADSEY'S ADDRESS.
Tho Introduction of tho orator of the
ovenlng, the Hon, Don P. Halsloy, State
Senator from Lynchburg, followed next.
"The pessimistic lamentation of Burke
haa its echo In our own day. There ls ln
every age a class of chronic malcontents,
who aro forever complaining that" 'the
old times were better than tho new,' and
ln our timo wo lack not those who aro
persistently croaking that tbe period ln
which we Ilvo Is nbsolucly sordid and
materialistic, snd devoid of any real no?
ble life; that religion and the arts are
ln decadence, and men bow down only
to tho golden calf and worship only the
graven Image of the eagle on the dol?
lar; in short that 'the age of chivalry
Is Kone,' and 'the Jingle of the guinea
helps the hurt that honor feels.'
"Such statements are, for tho most
part, fallacious, and unworthy of those
who are privileged to Ilvo In the golden
sunlight of this splendid era. It may bo
true, ln ono sense, that chivalry ls no
more?the senso ln which chivalry (which
Is derived from the French word cheval,
a horse), means only the performance of
feats of arms on horseback and tho
madlaeval system of military privileges
and titles to which It gave a name. That
kind of chivalry ls dead, and has been
ever since Cervantes pictured the ill
fated knight of la Mancha, and held up
to the ridicule of sensible men the gal?
lant, but crack-brained, Don Quixote,
fighting with wind-mills for giants, and
pursuing dragons and other fancied mon?
sters to the great dismay and conster?
nation of the unfortunate Sancho Panza,
his faithful squire. That chivalry, with
Its castellated grandeur. Its picturesque
shapes, its splendid enthusiasm in ad?
venture, which even now may kindle
youthful Imagination Into flame. Is, in?
deed, a thing of the past, and, perhaps.
It Is not to be regretted that it Is. It
shall be my contention, however, that It
has been succeeded by a hlcher type
of chllvary, and to point out this chivalry,
to prove Its existence, and to advocate
Its claims upon right thinking men in
this day of prosaic thought and action,
ls the principal object of what I have
to eay.
"Let mo not disparage, however that
vanished chivalry of the olden time. It
had Its virtues, and they were many, and
doubtless It had Its part, and a good one,
too. In bringing the dark ages Into light.
Even now thero can be nothing more
elevating or Inspiring, and certainly there
can be nothing more fascinating, than
to read ln the matchless prose of the
"Wizard of the North' of the exploits of
the noble Ivanhoe, or King Richard of the
Lion Heart, or in the exquisite poetry
of England's greatest laureate, the Idylls
of Arthur. 'The Blameless King.' and
'The Knights of His Table Round.1 Cer?
tainly there can be nothing more quick?
ening to the Imagination than the pictures
they arouse?'the splendid phantoms of
chivalrouns romance, tlve trophled lists,
the embroidered housing, the quaint de?
vices, the haunted forests, the enchant?
ed gardens, deep moats and dismal dun
peons, the achievements of enamoured
knights, and the smiles of rescued prin?
cesses.' We yield ourselves up to the
spell thev weave around us and soon
we are transported back Into the misty
past whero knights and ladles once trod
with stately measure the halls whero
now the wind whistles through the bro?
ken archways, and the Ivy wanders over
tho crumbling ruins. We see ln Imagi?
nation the splendor which 'falls on cas?
tle walls, and snowy summits old In
story;" the sunlight flashes on crest and
helmet nnd scarf and sword, whllo ban
????? of blue and gold and purple and
crimson fling out their bright folds from
battlemontetl to?vers to tutunt ana imi?
ter ln the breeze. Valor and beauty walk
hand In hand, glittering with the splen?
dor of Jewelled rank and military dis?
play, and the richly curven oaken rafters
ring with the laughter and song of tho
welcome aftor ouest and conquest. We
see tlie crowd assembled for the tour?
ney; wo hear the shouting of tho war?
riors and the clangor of the arms. Vas?
sal and lord, prince and peasant, courtier
and page, 'squire and churchman mlnptlo
with the throng in bright array, whilst
a?a???t them all move, with majestic mo?
tion, the grand old whlto-bearded, white
robed bards, telling the tales of the olden
days and striking their glorious golden
harps and handing down the names of
heroes forever!
"Such pictures awaken tho finest and
most virile emotion; and It Is with a feel?
ing akin to sadness that wo reflect that
thoy belong to a long post era. Wo
should nqt malto the mistake, however,
of thinking that chivalry cannot exist
without them. T.ioso things may havo
accompanied the old Unto ohlvalry, but
they do not constitute ch|_nlry. True
chivalry may, and does. exlBt Independent?
ly of them, and in tho sense In which
chivalry means that which portalns to
true knighthood nnd the Ideal qualifi?
cations of a knight, such as truth nnd
valor, generosity and courtesy, I believe
that we have ln our own day, to a greater
degree than ever beforo, the conditions,
tho characteristics and tho achievements I
of a genuino chivalry, compared to which
tho Knight errantry of the middle nges
was but a shabby affair of tinsel and vain
glory, nnd. therefore, I say that this ls
'tho aKe of chivalry,' "

CHILDREN TO
SUPPORT CHILDREN
Orphanage to Raise $4,000.
Minister Donates His
Vacation.
The Methodist Orphanage of this city
Is preparing to enter upon a campaign to
raise $4,000 during the coming month of
Juno. Tho money Is expected to come
from the Methodist Sunday schools tn the
State. The purpose for which It Is being
raised Is sot forth ln the following whlcn
Is part of a letter being sent out hy
Superintendent Mast?n to the superintend?
ents of all the Methodist Sunday schools.
"We must raise $4,000 ln addition to
our unpaid subscription In order to make
a payment on the farm and pay every
cent we owe on buildings and equipment.
I enclose herewith an outline of the plan
by which we propose to do this. Our
Baptist brethren support their Orphanage
largely through the Sunday schools. We
hope to do the same. We believe thnt It
will be a great blessing to our children
who have homes, to feel that thoy are
providing for thoso who have ?one. We
want overy Sunday school .^ctAlar ln the
bounds of our Conference to give some?
thing and we want every member of our
Sunday schools to act as an agent for the
Orphanage and help us to get an aver?
age of live cents per member from the
Methodists In tho Conference."
The Rov. A. B. Thorpe, pastor of West
End Methodist Church, Hampton, Vn.,
has consented to give his vacation to the
