At 4 p. m., Hammond Lamont of the iSietu York Eveymig Post delivered a trenchant address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, in Sayles Hall, on "The Daily in a Democracy." At 8 p. m THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 37 the annual senior reception at the Wo- men's College took place. It was a brilliant affair, dancing being one of the principal features from 10 o'clock on. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21 Commencement day dawned gray, and during the exercises at the meeting house rain began to fall. On account of the weather, there was no ball game in the afternoon. At the church the exercises included orations by William Alfred Read of South Hanson, Mass., Imperialism in Literature, ' ' Glenn Wil- liam Woodin of Blodgett's Mills, N. Y., "The Theory of Legislation," William Arnold Spicer, Jr. of Providence, "Eu- rope Is No More;" Leonard Wolsey Cronkhite of Newton Centre, Mass., "The Organic Nature of Truth. A feature of the exercises was the presentation of a faculty greeting in Latin to Professor Albert Harkness, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his coming to Brown as a member of the faculty. Professor Harkness' Latin response is printed in the Topics of the Month department. At the alumni dinner the classes down to and including 1890 were seated in Sayles Hall, with the younger graduates in the gymnasium. During the speak- ing all the classes gathered in Sayles. The exercises were opened with the singing of "A Song for College Hill" by the assembled throng of nearly 800 Brimonians, to the accompaniment of the fine Sharpe memorial organ, and closed with the singing of "Alma Mater' ' The speaking was a little too long and heavy, all things considered. The president's reception occurred as usual in the evening. The number of degrees (exclusive of the honorary ones) was 212, of which 170 were bestowed on members of the senior class. (The remainder were M. A., M. S. and Ph. D.) Of the 170, 130 were conferred on men and 40 on women. The various degrees by classes were as follows: A. B., 61 to men, 23 to women, total 84. B.

JULY, 1905 JOHN HAY, THE FOREMOST BRUNONIAN To the eulog'ies that have lately ap- peared throughout the world it seems futile to attempt to add anything in the columns of the Brown Alumni Monthly in praise of Mr. Hay. The sad occasion of his death, however, cannot be per- mitted to pass without some word of recognition of his conspicuous talents and great virtues. In all the chorus of praise of the de- parted statesman it is easy to distin- g'uish the appreciation of his intellectual phase. We have never had a foreign minister to whose capacity for construc- tive statesmanship has been added so •charming an ability to speak and write the English tongue. It was more than inere intellect, however, that distin- guished Mr. Hay. He had that inde- finable quality which we call imagina- nation, which is the characteristic pos- . session of the poet and seer. Poetry, in its highest aspects, is the loftiest human function, and Mr. Hay was a poet with the strong, unmistakable note of genius. That he did not cultivate his gift more assiduously is the source of deep regret to his friends and lovers. In his later years he turned to statecraft and in that department of intellectual activ" ity the world knows him best. But there is a direct connection between poetry and statesmanship, and in fol- lowing the latter he exercised his natural talent for the other, The poet-states- man has the wide vision that sees afar and declines to weaken in the face of obstacles that to a leader of lesser view would appear insuperable. Mr. Hay was not only a great man — at the risk of appearing to preach a ser- mon , we are impelled to add that he was a good one. In a notable poem, printed in the Nezv ) ^ork Tribinie on the first of July, Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedman speaks of his "stainless youth,'' and the same note is found in all the eulogies that have been printed since his death. He was a religious man, religious not with the mere mystic quality that is supposed to attach to the poetic na- ture, but in sincerity believing in the triumph of good causes and looking for- ward to a happy future. In his latest published poem , "Thanatos Athanatos, ' ' he said : At eve, when the brief wintry day is sped, I muse beside my fire's faint flickering glare — Conscious of wrinkUng face and whitening hair — Of those who, dying young, inherited The immortal youthfulness of the early dead. I think of Raphael's grand-seigneurial air; Of vShelley and Keats, with laurels fresh and fair Shining unwithered on each sacred head ; And soldier boys who snatched death's starry prize. With sweet life radiant in their fearless eyes. The dreams of love upon their beardless lips, Bartering dull age for immortality ; THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 39 Their memories hold in Death's unyielding- fee The youth that thrilled them to the finger tips. This is the utterance not only of poetry but of faith. The "immortah- t}^" in the tweU'th line is something" more than the immortality of fame. One of Mr. Ha3''s latest letters was the one in which he sent, through Mr. Colgate Hoyt, (and which we print on another page), his greetings to the uni- versity. This may indeed prove to have been his last formal writing. Coming as it did at the very end of his life Brown University will cherish it as the token of his undimmed love for her. And it may not be unfitting if the sug- gestion is made in this place and at this moment that some day there should be a memorial to John Hay on the campus in Providence, setting forth in an appropriate way our pride in his achievements and our gratitude for the example he gave us of a g-ifted life noblv lived. AM A TE I ^R SPOR T AT BROW N In his annual report to the corpora- tion President Fatmce takes the stand on amateur athletics upon which the Alumni Monthly insisted when the discussion arose somewhat more than a year ag-o. Of the improvement worked by the reform he says: "The great advantage of having various kinds of sport on a strictly amateur basis is that no longer, as once, are the the contest- ants in such contests limited to a few hired 'stars' but the rank and file of the college feel that these sports are open to them. Many an alumnus has said that under the old regime, when athletes were 'induced' to come to col- lege, and all their bills met by subterranean methods, it was of no use for the ordinary genuine student to try for a place on any team. But this last year we have seen a lar- ger number of men trying for every team than -ever before. Ambition has been infused into men who had never previously discovered their own abilitv." Brown is now committed to amateur standards, and the best sentiment, both in the undergraduate body and among- the alumni, we believe, favors a rigid adherence to the existing- rules. It has been discovered that a g-ood baseball team can be put in the field without de- pending on men who have played on summer nines for money, and that the principal thing that is necessary is to let all youths who intend to enter Brown , as well as those who are already in col- lege, understand that the regulations against professionalism, audits insidious understudy, semi-professionalism, will be strictly enforced. Last year we had a freshman nine to represent the university. It was raw and made an indifferent record. With the experience gained during its first season, however, it started on a better basis this year and won half its games, including- matches against Harvard. Yale and Dartmouth. Next season it will be stronger than ever, and as none of its members will graduate before 1907, what may we not expect from it in that year? All rumors affecting the amateur status of candidates for the team have been investigated by the athletic author- ities — the same authorities who forbade the star team of 1904 to play — and no person has been allowed to compete against whom proof of professionalism has been produced. That there will be charges of professionalism in the future is probable, but the Monthly feels sure that those whose duty it is to inquire in- to such charges will prove themselves competent and conscientious in the per- formance of their difficult task, and that Brown will continue to be, as it cer- tainly is at the present moment, the intercollegiate leader in the movement for amateur athletics. To have a reputation of this character is better than to possess a team of ex- 40 THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY perts, whose victories, however frequent and brilHant, are discounted by scornful alkisions at other colleges and in the public press to "paid players." THE ELECTION OE TRUSTEES For the first time since 1870, when the corporation took steps to invite the alumni to participate in the choice of trustees, an insufficient number of re- sponses has been received to the invita- tion. The secretary of the Associated Alumni, Professor Wilson, sent out bal- lots in May to all alumni, requesting them to name candidates for two Bap- tist vacancies on the board of trustees, but there appears to have been a very general consignation of these ballots to the waste basket. No person received enough votes to entitle his name to be printed on the customary second ballot, and therefore at the annual meeting of the Associated Alumni, the day before commencement, the announcement was made that no names had been proposed by the alumni to the corporation. The meeting voted to appoint the executive committee of the Associated Alumni to confer with with the executive committee of the cor- poration on the subject; when the cor- poration met, two days later, no further action was taken, though Dr. Bumpus was chosen to the board of fellows. The significance of the present situa- tion is plain. We are sure that there is little if any "misapprehension" among the alumni regarding the corporation's reasons for its action of a year ago, and no amount of explanation will materially alter the great body of alumni sentiment on the subject. The corporation has the legal right to do as it pleases with alumni nominations, but it cannot ig- nore the meaning of the few and scat- tering ballots cast by graduates for trus- tees this year. If the executive committees of the As- sociated Alumni and the corporation can frame a satisfactory plan for next year's voting, it will do well, but we suspect that the true remedy lies deeper. TOPICS OF THE MONTH ROWN men who return to college in the fall, after a long vacation absence, will find great changes wrought in the external appearance of University Hall, thanks to Mr. MarsdenJ. Perry's liberality. The quar- ter-inch thickness of plaster is being re- moved and the red bricks of 1770 are being exposed again to view. By the time these lines are in type a large por- tion of the stucco will be gone and the building will have taken on much of its original aspect. The bricks are, gener- ally speaking, in good condition, though some radical surface treatment may have to be introduced. The work will be completed before the re-opening of college in September. PROSPECTS FOR Registrar Guild thinks CLASS OF 1909 fhat the incoming fresh- man class will be about the same size as the freshman class of last year, in spite of the announced determination to cut down the scholarship aids. The university annually presents to students who need financial assistance, about $21,000 worth of such help, and this year it is intended to reduce the amount by about $2,000. Most of the reduc- tions will be made in the new freshman class, though it may be found necessary to cut somewhat the scholarships in the other classes. If the university were not asked to remit any of its charges ta students its income would be greater than its expenditures from year to year. THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 41 LETTER FROM At the alumni dinner SECRETARY HAY on commencement day , Mr. Colgate Hoyt read the following letter from Hon. John Hay, '58, secre- tary of state of the United States: Greentree, Manhaset, L. I. June 19, 1905. Dear Mr. Hoyt: I have received your letter of the 16th, and beg you will accept for your- self and President Faunce my most cor- dial thanks for your kind invitation, and also express to everybody my profound regret that it will not be possible for me to be with you on the 21st. I have an engagement on that day in Washington from which I cannot free myself with- out some inconvenience, not only to my- self, but to others. I wish it were not so. * * * I should have been glad to see with my own eyes the evidences of growth and prosperity of the university to which I owe so much, and whose fair fame is so dear to me. But circumstances are against me; and I must content myself by being one of the thousands who will be with you in mind and heart, with grateful wishes and benedictions. Yours faithfully, John Hay. ♦ ¥ ¥ FACULTY President Faunce sailed on NOTES June 24 for Europe, where he expects to spend a large part of the sum- mer. He will stay for some time in England with Dean Meiklejohn, who sailed a few days earlier, and afterwards will join Professor Manatt and travel with him in Greece and Sicily. A few days before his departure a number of alumni presented him with a sum of money sufficient to cover the entire cost of the trip. Fifty years ago Professor Albert Harkness received the degree of doctor of philosophy from the University of Bonn, and also began his long term of service at Brown. In commemoration of the former event the University of Bonn has this year bestowed upon him again the degree of doctor of philoso- phy. In commemoration of his coming to Brown, Professor Allinson presented to him a Latin address on behalf of the faculty of Brown University during the exercises of commencement day. Pro- fessor Harkness responded in Latin,, and the prolonged applause with which he was greeted gave evidence of the great admiration, respect and affection felt for him by his many former pupils. The Latin response is given below. The members of the Brown chapter of Sigma Xi, assembled in special ses- sion, passed a set of resolutions upon the death of the late Professor Packard, dwelling especially upon the excellence of his scientific work and the loftiness of his ideal of scientific research. Professor Barus is the only represen- tative from the United States amongr the 41 eminent scientists included in the list of members of the honorary committee of the first international con- gress for the study of radiology and ionization, which is to be held at Liege, Belgium, September 12 to 14, imder the auspices of the Belgium govern- ment. The only other member from the western hemisphere is Professor Rutherford of McGill University, Mon- treal. Two members of the Brown faculty took part in the recent annual joint meeting of the Rhode Island and Con- necticut Library Associations. Mr. Koopman, the librarian, as president of the Rhode Island Library Asoociation, presided at the first afternoon session, and also delivered one of the principal addresses in the evening. Professor Sears also made an address at the even- ing session. Mr. Koopman was re- elected president of the Rhode Island association. Announcement has been made of the engagement of Professor Bronson and Miss Elsie Marion Straffin. Miss Straf- fin was graduated a year ago at the Women's College, taking the two de- grees, A. B. and A. M., the same year. This year she has been registered at Brown as a candidate for the doctor's degree, and has also been fellow in English and assistant in English in the Woman's College. Professor Wilson is delivering his annual course of lectures before the Naval War College at Newport. During- the past year he received a permanent appointment as lecturer on international law at the college. 42 THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY On June 13, Professor Huntington and Miss Alice Howland Mason of Providence were married in the Central Congregational Church. After the ceremony a larg'ely attended reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents. Mr. M. X. vSullivan of the biological department has been appointed by the government as an instructor, with sal- ary, at the station of the United States fish commission at Wood's Hole. The biolog"ical departtnent has two men at the marine laboratory at Wood's Hole, ■one of whom was sent on a scholarship griven by two members of the visiting ■committee of the department. PROFESSOR HARKNESS'S In rCSpOUSC tO LATIN RESPONSE ^^c faculty greet- ing, given by Professor Allinson, on commencement day at the meeting house. Professor Harkness said: Tibi, coUega care, gratias ago.

STILL ACTIVELY Profcssor Harlcncss is ENGAGED still actively at work. AT WORK At the present time he is engaged in writing an introduction on the Roman constitution for a new edi- tion of his Cicero, and ordinarily labors at this and siinilar tasks until 10 o'clock in the evening. His health is excellent and those of his former pupils who have not seen him for a dozen or fifteen years would observe little change in his per- sonal appearance. ^ ^ *> NEW HOUSE FOR In his annual report to ANDREWS FIELD the Corporation, Presi- dent Faunce said: "One of our lesser, but immediate, needs would be met by a new house for the athletic teams on Andrews Field. The present house is hardly more than a cabin, and neither sanitary nor decent. Ten thousand dollars would erect a house with com- partments, lockers, baths, and all the conveniences suitable for baseball, foot- ball and track athletics. Such a build- ing would make Andrews Field more useful, more popular, would increase the interest in outdoor sports and enable us to show proper hospitality to athletic teams from other universities. No other small building is so much needed today. ' ' At the corporation meeting it was an- nounced that Edward L. Marston of New York, a trustee of the college, whose son is at present in Brown, has offered a new athletic field house to be built on Andrews Field. The scholar- ship which Mr. Marston offered on com- mencement day will be postponed until next year. The new field house will probably be built either this summer or next fall, and is expected to cost about $10,000. ^» * * A CREDITABLE Although the tmiver- BASEBALL SEASON g^^y nine played un- evenly during the year, it made a better record than it did a year ago, and as it did not lose any members by gradua- tion last month it should be near or quite at the head of the list of college teams in 1906. Following is a schedule of the games played in 1905 : GAMES WON April 8, Brown 12, College Citv of N. Y., 0. "22, " 4, Tufts 3. THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 45 " 28, " 4, Dartmouth 3. " 29, 2, Bates 1.

From these tables it is evident that Brown won 12 games and lost 12. The total number of runs made by Brown was 109, by opponents 90. 1» ¥ * NOTES ABOUT Captain Tift's arm g-ave BASEBALL q^^ toward the end of the season and in the Holy Cross game at Worcester, June 10, Elrod and Hove pitched for Brown. Ehmke was in the box against Massachusetts State and Columbia, and gave good promise for next year. Tift returned to the box for the last Holy Cross game and pitched well, but a wild pitch by him and an error by the catcher, Higgins, let in two of the three runs with surprising and distressing quickness. The Penn- sylvania game, scheduled for June 12, at Providence, and the game with the '96 university team, set for June 21, were postponed on account of rain. William Madison Higgins, '08, of Groveton, N. H., has been elected cap- tain for next year. He is the regular catcher of the team. ¥ ¥ ♦ NEW ALUMNI On the evening of May 5, ASSOCIATION seventeen loyal alumni of Brown, located in Rochester and the vicinity, met and organized the "Roch- ester Aluiuni Association of Brown." The meeting began with a banquet, followed by enjoyable speeches, in which loyalty and enthusiasm were loudly pro- claimed. Dr. C. A. Barbour acted as toastmaster. A letter from President Faunce was read and roundly cheered. The election of officers resulted in the selection of Dr. C. A. Barbour, '88, for president, and Rev. A. C. Peepels, '81, for secretary and treasurer. The other alumni present were the following : I. H. Gilmore, '58; J. H. Mason, '72;, A. L. Fraser, '02; Paul Brown, '02; B. N. Timbie, '02; E. L. Bavliss, '02; G. M. Bardsley, '03; CM. Eddy, '03; M. E. Van Nostand, '03; N. O. Green, '03; R. B. Long-well, '03; J. J. Beck- with, '04; C. F. Fields, '04; J. P. Her- ring, '04; E. M. Wilson, '04. A movement is also on foot for the formation of an alumni association in the south. The present plan involves the formation of a general association, which will seek to include in its mem- bership all the alumni in the southern states, no matter how isolated. Then, if possible, a general meeting is to be held annually, or occasionally, at some central point, such as Atlanta, Ga. If this proves impracticable, sectional meetings will be held in such places as Atlanta, Greenville, S. C, and Stark- ville. Miss., which can be attended bj"- the majority of the alumni in those states. It is hoped that strong local associations may in time crystallize out of the larger associations. The general organization is already nearly perfected. ^ ^ ^ ALUMNI SMOKER The Brown Univer- IN PHILADELPHIA sity Club of Philadel- phia held a smoker at the University Club in Philadelphia on Saturday even- ing, May 20. Thirteen members were present, and in spite of the fatal combi- nation, spent a profitable evening about the round table, recalling undergradu- ate days and discussing matters of inter- est to the university. Plans were made to turn out for the baseball game between Brown and Pennsylvania,, played in Raleigh on May 24. The evening was so tnuch of a success that it was decided to repeat the experiment, and it is hoped that these smokers may- become a part of the regular program, of the Brown University Club of Phila- delphia. 44 THE BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY YALE ABANDONS The following- edit- SECTARiANiSM. orial comment from the New Haven Register, a paper edited by one Yale g-raduate and controlled by another, is self-explanatory : ' ' Yale University took a long step in advance yesterday when the corporation elected to membership in that body to succeed Dr. Hunger a layman, Payson Merrill of New York city. The princi- ple involved is one that means an im- mense amount for Yale's future. It puts Yale squarely before the collegiate world as a non- sectarian body. In that one particular the move made yester- dav deserves to rank with the real achievements in organization which the university has from time to time made. If the change comes late it at least has arrived, and, with all respect to the clerical members of that body, it cannot but be a good thing in every way for Yale." It may be added that Harvard long ago left her Unitarian moorings behind. ¥ l» f CLASS OF 1895 T^g class of '95 of WOMEN'S?
