PrcNlilriit Nortlirnp'H Aililrenn.
President Northrop apoko In part as fol
lows :
I shall offer no apology for speaking to
you upon a plain nnd practical1 subject the
education which our country needs. I em
phasize In this subject the expression which
our country needs.
I believe that different peoples require
different education , and thnt the same pee
ple may require different education at differ
ent stages of their development.
There are peculiar conditions , both of
population and of development In this eoun-
try , which Justify departures In education
from the lines of work which may be tbo
most desirable In some other countries' , I
need mention only two or three.
First Our population la not homoge
neous.
Second Our people are all equal In polit
ical rights and political power. It Is as nec
essary for the day laborer to know what IB
best for Iho country as It Is for the man
of any other position.
Third Our country U not yet fully set
tled and our population Is exceedingly mov
able.
able.The
The situation , as mpy be seen , Is not an
Ideal one. There Is a tremendous waste of
force in air directions ; and not a little
in the educational work done under these
renditions Is like the training of the sports
man who , having fired at a calf , supposing
It to be a deer , and having failed to hit
it , explained bis lack of skill by saying that
he fired so as to hit It If It were a deer ,
and miss U If It were a calf. Quito fre
quently It Is a calf , and perhaps It Is for-
tunajo that we roUs It as often as wo do.
This very hasty sketch of the shifting
elements of our country BUggests the fact
that the training of large numbers of our
people must be and Is exceedingly super
ficial. We are an Ingenious people , an In
ventive people , a people with wonderful
adaptability , nut there are altogether too
many jack-of-all-trades and good at none.
Ktliifuted Men Neeilril.
There Is today a demand for educated
men In the multitude of occupations that
formerly had no existence or were conducted
by uneducated men. The whole world of
labor U to be engaged In the application of
scientific principles to mechanics or to agri
culture , to transportation , to social life or
municipal rife. The haphazard method ol
doing things by guess has got to stop and
the laws of nature are to be applied to
nearly everything that Invites human labor ;
our education must fit men for air these
varied occupations.
Vet I do not by any means believe that
we have reached an educational millennium.
If any college officer or any teacher of
public school contemplates with perfect t-
Isfnctlon the results of the training given
to the average student all I have to say
Is that he In easily satisfied.
It halt been customary to divide literature
Into two kind * , the literature of knowledge
and the literature of power. I would di
vide education In the name way. Everyone
who knows anything about the matter will
admit that In respect to the amount of
knowledge Imparted , our Institutions of
learning arc Incomparably superior to those
of former times. The sciences are prac
tically the product of tbo present century
and the thorough nnd systematic teaching
of the sciences has been possible but little
more than a generation. History nnd lit
erature were never taught ns they arc to
day until comparatively a few years ago.
Other branches of reaming might be named
of which the same could be said.
( ilnrjof Moilrrn Kiliicntlnn.
The glory of our modern education Is its
adaptation to the wants nt once ot the race
and of the Individual. It provides for both
the material nnd the spiritual wants of the
Htudcnt. It docs not reject poetry and lit
erature because chemistry and physics are
more Important ; nor does It reject science
because literature gives n different kind of
culture or n better culture. It furnishes
whatever will help man to do the best work ,
and , also , whatever will help him to bo the
> cst man.
It will be readily seen thnt certain things
which have been true ot education In the
ast must be equairy true of education In
bo future. Let mo name a few. There Is
no royal road to learning. Teachers must
till teach. Scholars must still study. The
urrlculum must embrace those Btudles
which the world still agrees In caUIng a
lasslcal course. Fundamental discipline
must not be overlooked. Culture must still
ic regarded as a most desirable and most
necessary result of education.
Unrest Is the Taw of progress. The cdu-
atlon which makes n man contented , or
makes classes of people contented when
hey have not apprehended the best things ,
a In a degree , n failure. That education
alone Is successful which nwnkens In man
a noble discontent with the undeveloped
irescnt nnd nn earnest longing for more
icrfect attainments. Stir the soul or the
nlnd out of Its lethargy and discontent is
ncvltnble.
You , ladles nnd gentlemen , are a part of
ho people. Never think of yourselves ns
icrsons above or apart from the people.
You have had opportunities for education
nnd development greater than most of the
icople enjoy , and It Is possible that you may
> o tbo leaven which Is to be hidden in the
man till the whole Is leavened. But the
eaven must be hidden In the man , If the
man Is to bo leavened. It can
not bo kept bv Ittclf ns something too prcc-
oua to mix with what It Is designed to af-
ect. The elevntlon of a people must nlwaya
> e the result of the elevation of Individuals.
The more Individual there are educated the
nero the man will be elevated. The edu
cated man and woman must accept the bur-
len which Increased power lays upon them
and bpar It bravely for the good of nil.
They must know what Is truth and be ready
o contend for It. The greatest thing In the
world is love , and they must have a large
measure of this love , under the Influence of
which they shall work mightily for the
Iftlng up of the lowly and the enlighten
ment of those In darkness.
Hrlef AtlilrcRu liy Poynter.
In presenting the commissions to cadet
officers Governor Poyntor spoke as follows :
The military officer In charge and the
chancellor have certified to me your rank
n the cadet battalion of the university
and by the authority of the statutes of the
state I today Issue to you your commis
sions as retired officers of the university
cadeta. These commissions render you lla-
ilo to be cnlled Into the service of the stnto
n case of Invasion , Insurrection or rebellion
n the same manner ns the state mllltla.
The act of the national congress which pro
vides aid to stnto universities directs that
education In military science be Included In
the curriculum of study. This. It seems to
me , was Intended to aid the greater effi
ciency In case of emergency of that part of
the service upon which our government must
ever depend her vofunteer citizen soldier.
A great military establishment , the right
arm of kings and despots Is unknown in
our country. As a nation It has ever been
our boast and our pride that In times of
wnr every citizen was a soldier , in times
of peace every soldier was a citizen. An
\rrny of such composition must ever be
nvlnclble because patriotism can alone call
t Into being. A thousand battreflpldR of
our country's history attest Its efficiency ,
and the splendid advancement and growth
of our country and her position of unequaled -
equaled Influence among the nations of the
world prove the wisdom of our military
system.
The work of the military department of
our university has be n proven In the past ,
but more recently In the war with Spain.
The epfondld response to the call to main
tain the honor of the flag and to assist
In the cause of humanity , giving liberty to
: ho oppressed , is so recent that our minds
constantly dwell upon it today. One hun
dred and seventy-five gallant young soldiers
marched forth from the walls of the uni
versity. Of that number eleven will return
to us no more. But In the coming years
with each recurring springtime , when the
flowers bloom and patriotic citizens atEem-
blo to keep nllve the memories of the he
roes of ' 01 nnd ' 65 the same hands that
strew flowers upon their graves wilr dec
orate the lost resting places of the young
heroes of ' 98 and ' 99. Nothing hut good
reports come to us of the bravery and nol-
dlery bearing of tbo young men of the Oadet
jattnllon. And today wo nre proud of them.
Young men , your country is not calling
you today to go forth In her cause In camp
and field , but she Is calling you Just as
earnestly to defend her nnd maintain her
Institutions in the peaceful walks of citizen
ship. Here no less than In active military
service win tbo discipline which your con
nection with the cadets has given you stand
you In good stead. To bo nblo to command
one must first learn to obey. Go forth
equipped with scholastic and military trainIng -
Ing with both minds and bodies educated
to obey your wills , determined to exercise
all your powers for the uplifting nnd ad
vancement of humanity. Great civic prob
lems arc to be solved. Questions of grav
est Import nnd most vital Interest In our
government must bo determined. As brnvo
sordlers. never shirking a duty , equipped
and trained ns you are. lead forward the
armies of earnest patriotic citizens for their
8GWhllo' toke pleasure In giving you to
day the commissions of the state showing
your military training nnd the official decree -
creo to which you have attained In the Uni
versity Cadet battalion , nnd while I know
that should occasion demand you would dis
play the same bravery , the same patriotism ,
as did your comrades in ' 98. yet we pray
God that the occasion may not soon arise ,
but that peace and prosperity , liberty and
fraternity , may continue to direct the des
tinies of our country.

LINCOLN , June8. . ( Special. ) The an
nouncement of the election of Chancellor
George E. MacLcan of the State university
to the presidency of the University of Iowa
by the board of regents of that Institution
was not n surprise to people connected with
the Nebraska college , as it was rumored In
this city several weeks ago that his name
had been considered nnd that he would prob
ably bo tendered the position. However ,
the chancellor has not been asked whether
ho would accept and the first Intimation ho
had of the action of the regents of the Iowa
Institution was when ho received a telegram
last night from Iowa City asking him If he
would accept. He replied that he would con
sider the matter and today ho sent another
leregrara to the regents stating that It would
be Impossible for him to give a definite an
swer for at least two days. In the meantime
the regents of the Nebraska university will
consider the probable departure of the chan
cellor and It Is quite probable that an In
ducement In the way of an Increase In sal
ary will bo offered for him to remain In his
present situation. The salary paid the
chancellor of the University of Nebraska Is
5,000 a year , whllo the yearly salary of the
> re ldcnt of Iowa university Is equivalent
o about $7,000.
"I have the matter under advisement , "
aid Chancellor MacLean this afternoon ,
when asked If ho would accept the prcsl-
tency of the Iowa Institution , "and It will
bo Impossible for me to reach a decision
or several days. "
Dean A. N. Currle Is now acting president
of the lown university , taking the place of
Charles A. Schaeffer , who died last Septem
ber.
ber.It
It was reported In Lincoln this morning
hat Chancellor MacLcan would bo offered
ho position of president of the University
of California , but the report has not been
offlcjplly confirmed and It Is not generally
believed. Chancellor MacLean visited the
California Institution last summer , but not
with a view to being called to the presi
dency , It Is said.
The Board of Regents met this morning
n executive session to consider the matter ,
) Ut'no decision as to raising Chancellor
MacLcan's salary was reached. Another
meeting will be held tomorrow , and It Is
) ossblo ! that a definite conclusion will be
reached at that time.

The sixteenth nnnimt commcnccincnl nt
Uollevue college ended toilny with the grad
uating exercises held nt Clarke hall. In
place of the orations usually delivered by
the members of tlic clnss an address was
given by Rev. T. V. Moore. 1) . P. , of Omaha.
The auditorium , which the freshman clnss
had rendered bright nnd nttrnctlvo with
flowers and the college colors , purple and
gold , was crowded with n host of spectators ,
friends of the faculty and students and well-
wishers of the college.
The Invocation by Uev. Backus , D. D. , of
Kansas City , and an exquisite solo , "In
Autumn" ( Franz ) , by Miss Aljco Doty , were
a flttlnK Introduction to the brilliant and
scholarly address of Dr. Moore. His theme
was "Tho New Km In Our National Life , "
and ho spoke , firstly , on the conditions that
had wrought the change nnd , secondly , on
the forces required to meet these new con
ditions and responsibilities.
This country , whether for good or 111 , has
emerged from Its century of Isolation and
has taken Its stand among llic nations of
the world. While the Spanish-American
war changed our attitude to the people at
largo In this respect , the expansion of our
national policy was the outgrowth of silent ,
subtllo forces that had been nt work for
years. Isolation , freedom from entangling
alliances , the Monroe doctrine , were neces
sary In the early days of our nation's Ills-
toryT but the time had como when wo must
bear our shnro In the responsibilities of the
world when our Influence must bo felt In
the parliament of nations. Not only abroad ,
but at homo , the same Influences were at
workncw , responsibilities , now obligations ,
new duties were thrust upon us.
Problem of n. Prafcctnrnto.
The problem of a protectorate In both the
West Indies and the Philippines confronting
us of teaching nn alien people , hostile by
training nnd tradition to all we hold In rev
erence , dominated bv n host of monks ,
friars nnd other clergy of the Roman Cath
olic church , whose Influence , In solfdefcnce ,
If nothing else , must bo opposed to our Ideas
of law and liberty , yet whom we cannot
under our laws meet on the bame grounds ,
whoso methods wo may not employ.
The vast aggregations of capital at homo
foretell a change In our own economic policy
which may not be controlled by legislation ,
but which may become a menace to the
state. With the Increase of our possessions
has eomo the need of n larger army and
navy , necessitating an Increase of taxa
tion , a corresponding decrease of produc
tion , whllo out of these circumstances will
come a new factor , a new Influence In our
national policy , namely , the military power ,
n natural outcome of Its growth from our
small standing army of a year ago to the
force It Is thought will now bo required.
Our experience In dealing with inferior
races In the past has not been such as to
warrant success In our colonial policy ex
cept by n great sacrifice of blood and treas
ure. Yet there Is hope for the future
first , because our nation In the past das
been guided of God through dangers that
seemed to threaten the very foundations of
the state ; secondly , because of the spirit that
has animated us ns a nation In our ag-
gresslvo war for humanity ; third , that our
present generation seems to realize the
duties awaiting It.
Our free press , popular liberty , our school
system nre among tho' safeguards of the re
public which will , with the coming years ,
require more than ever moral uprightness ,
Incorruptnble Integrity , broad and generous
culture nnd special training for the chosen
field of all our loyal sons.

A vocal solo , "Honor and Arms , " by A.
Delmore Cheney preceded the presentation
