The exorcises were begun at 11 o'clock and lasted a little over an hour. The Chapel wis full to overflowing of enthusiastic fieehmen and other class men, who greeted with clapping, hur rahing, and whistling each member of the faculty, both old and new, as each made his appearance on the platform. The Chancellor received the greatest ovation, for in addition to all the above manifestations of good feeling, the University yell was raised -and given with a will. It was a typical college gathering and must have shown the freshmen present tne "es prit de corps" of the University. The regular chapel exercises were first gone through with and tjen the new members of the faculty were in troduced in turn by the Chancellor. The first to be presented was Dean Wilson, the first dean of women the University has had, and she -was re ceived by a hearty hand-clapping. ! Miss Boa ton was next introduced as the head e the new "School of Do mestic Sciesce." She said she hoped 'herwnew duties .would not interfere withjwr old. . N L- A - - The Chancellor announced that Mrs. "Taylor would not be a member of the faculty this year, and introduced Miss llerron as her successor. The new head of the Electrical En gineering department was then presented ki li -happy way by the Chancellor. The students in sisted on hearing him say something and he responded by saying that deeds count and not words; that it would rbe a good deal easier to tell at the end of the semester whether his adminis tration had been a success or not. Mr. J. I. Wyer, the new librarian, said he wanted to meet all the stu dents individually and to kx all he could in every way to -help them. C L. Week's wae announced) Ws the new commandant of cadets.

After making a few -emarks about the new building and explaining the efficiency of the new courses of study, in preference to lectures. This feature has been verj favorably com men ted on by leading men of the bar and is attracting- students from other states. After making a few remarns about the new Ibuiding and explaning the efficiency of the new courses of study, the Cbancelhr spoke of the numerous book stores on an near the Univer sity campus, and said that the Univer sity Book s-,ore had the sanction of the authorities as its -.airs were looked into at regular intervals by u committee of regents, faculty and students. He then made a short open ing address ivh'ch wae full of good thoughts and was heartily received. He said in fart: Since the real open ing uddres has 'been given, as you have ween the old ad new members of the faculty here, rerfdy, as never be- fore, for their work, all I snail attempt tVdo willqbe toteirjyou what was to hv'c been the isjecttof i, and point aut its moral. k ; -y " PRICK 5 (jjCKTS. THE UNIVERSITY. Last Saturday Horning; of the New flcm- a Faculty. Univoraity. "" t , ' . The address was to have -been uponfa "The Higher or Spiritual Life of the University." We are somewhat in danger, lth our wonderful gjxnvtih of pwifitog our selves upon our equipment, npon our. numbers, upon the things .that are" ma terial. But if, b university is :to,,oc true to the Ideal1 of ,tk: pioneers, who founded it-, to (the ; besi. ,perol, in ats own hSsftcry ! it- m to raeefc the diemtondic HftMt are made itoday upon .tlhbete rest (ftake unversities to whom belongs the ia heritance of the future in education u America, we must cultivate and con- , serve the spiritual life. Thk first uni versities were established in. the bosom of the church. The next stage of educaton found the denominational colleges; representing- the spiritual as- pkatKms .of thejohureh as airecteu to edecatios. Ia this third aad greater stage Of education wfcere' ' ike state lias become so civilised and Christian that it carries on education, we must see to it itimt the,iacMr Kfe -af-mamfe kept growing. As Americans there la especial daa ger of our liviag oa. tiw iaHJael, Wt is.umque summer has show u us that Now as a university we must .be a , - leader of the American people. As ' scholars there are special temptations to draw us away from the cultivation of the spiritual life, that contemp lation of God which Is the deepest form of prayer. The inner life must foe active in) that sympathy which .must issue fin (help lessness. Usefulmsi most thfen) bte cul tivated. So I beg you by this life of con templation, by maintaining, accord- . ing to your own belief, a communion with the God yoa seek, if you know Him not and by unselfish helpfulness toward your professors, toward one another and toward all, to keep the higher life, that the University as well as you may corctiune to grow. The date for the opening of the Hew building has not beea fixed absolutely but it will be about the middle of Oc tober, and the Chancellor promises a great feast day for the University., President Chaplain, of St. Loais, has; been secured to give an address.
