After conferring the degrees. Dr. Jordan addressed the graduates, as follows: After all that has been spoken, my words must be few, and very eld, as well. You have spent four years of your lives with usone year In every six of your lifetime and if we have neglected aught In your mental rr moral training, it is too late to mend it now. We have given vou all that we have, and now It is for you to take the lead. If I am to leave one last word, let it bo this: remember what you are worth. The money-changers of the world are ever ready to discount a young life. Do not let them discount yours. When you go forth Into the world you will lind many that are willing to us you; many that are rilling to pay in money or preferment for the life of a young man. The old lecend of the devil's bargains lor the young man's soul is no idle myth of a childish age. It takes place every day. The market was never better. Be no party to such bargains. Your price Is above all price. Render to the world service for service, help for help; but keep yourself for yourself. The youth enters life with hieh aims, with lofty ideas of fair play, right dealing and loyal service in the battle of life. To the adversary such things as these have a market value, all the more certain if tho seeming be retained after the reality is gone. But each act cf yours in service of an unworthy cause Is a blow at th heart of your manhood. I heard a wise man say not long ago, I can live, if need be, without the respect of this community. I cannot live without the respect of Number One." And so I repeat, life is a failure whatever it brins you, if It forfeit the respect of Number One, if It lose for you your trust In yourself. Growth in strength and growth in righteousness Is possible only when you are sure that what you mean to do is just and, righL Let your soul be your own, and never on sale, and your life will be the life of "him that overcometb." Never value anything, said the good Emperor Marcus Aurellus, as profitable to thyself, which shall compel thee to break thy promise, to lose thy self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to ourse, to act the hypocrite, or to desire anything that needs walls and curtains. A man must stand erect, not be kept upright by others." and In similar vein, an uncrowned emperor nearly two thousand years later: , "We havo dispensed with the old titular dignities. Let us take care that we do not part with that tremendous force for which they stood. If there is no nobility of descent, all the more indispensable Is It that there should be nobility of ascent, a character so tine, and high, and pure that as men come within the circle, of its Influence tbey Involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent diatlnotion the royalty of virtue." And now. In the trust and the hope of your alma mater, wo send you forth to-day. The alumni banquet yesterday was a great success. Never in tne history of Indiana University was there such alarge attendance of alumni and friends. Two of the class of 1&J9 were present, and many of the classes were represented by large delegations, tho members of which were enthusiastic over the grand work of the institution. The banquet, or dinner, is a feature of the past few years, and gives an excellent opportunity to exchange pleasant memories and enjoy a Bplendiu feast, such as was served to-day. Ono hundred and seventy-live plates were laid, and those that graced the two long tables, that reached across the entire chapel, formed a brilliant assembly. The toasts were an interesting feature of the banquet and often loudly applauded. Major James L. Mitchell, of Indianapolis, class '58, was toast-master, and presided with much success. Judge Banta. clats of 'S3, responded to the toast "In the Early Days.' He said the sons and daughters of Indiana University were rejoiced at tho wonderful progress of the institution. It was a long and winding road that led back to the old seminary days, when, in 1630, the act was passed charterin? the college. The federal government, however, was not entitled to all the credit for making Indiana University, though, but for the donation of land at that time, probably -we would not have had this institution. It was in 1815-16 that our Legislature declared that it shall be the duty of tho General Assembly to provido a system of education beginning in the county schools and leading to the university. Judge Banta regretted the fashion of underrating the early settlers of Indiana and their grand work. A generation must be tried by the standard of its own times. Twcnty Years Out" was responded to by

I?ev. John h. Pitner, class of fCR, now of Bloomington, 111. lie stated that there was much in beginning. It was in 1606 that he first became a Hoosier. Twenty years ago there were thirty-three graduates from this institution, who were now out in the world. It was the largest class in the history of the college up to that time. Since that time tho speaker had never met more than two or three of the boys at one time. A remarkable fact about the class of 'CO was that it graduated the first lady from Indiana University and from the West Miss Sarah Morrison. There was a strong tight made against the co-education of the sexes, but it must come and so it did. Rev. Pitner closed with an eloquent tribute to his old alma mater. Rev. Thomas J. Clark, of Vincennes, class of '72, responded to "The College." He insisted that the first idea of any institution should be such training as would tit the student for practical business life. The Fecond and underlying principle should be the making of character. Moral training, with a Christian basis, should always b

taught and insisted upon. The moral spirit and example of a teacher has very much to do with the religious character of the student. The instructors of Indiana University who have made the best success and left tne mo.t lasting impressions upon graduates are those who were highest in moral attainments. Reverend Clark insisted that this should be a special object of tho trustees iu selecting those who are to teach the yo mg. "Woman in tho University" was responded to by Miss Lizzie G. Hughes, class '75. of Indianapolis. She gave an amnsing history of the first entrance of ladies into the institution, advocating that the co-education of the sexes had raised the standard of morals and scholarship, and done very much to build up the institution. William A. Mussctt responded to the toast "To-day," he being a member of the class of '89, and his class being the largest in the history of the institution. "The Alumnus and His Alma Mater" received response from Rev. D. C. Stewart, class of '84. of St. Louis, in which he referred to the enthusiastic gathering of the alumni the largest for years. He believed in all such meetings, as they added to the work and glory of the university. Much of the successor any university depends upon the active, earnest efforts of its graduates. ' Letters of regret from Judge Andrew Wylie. Hon.' 'John W. Foster, Dr. S. J. Kirkwood,'.' Congressman Springer and others were announced. Senator George Wright, class of '39, of Iowa, responded to tho toast "Indiana's Judiciary." He stated that after graduating in 18o9, ho was admitted to tho bar in 1840, in Indiana, then going West to St. Louis, and then to Iowa. He referred Sleasantly to the early judiciary of tho tate, to its purity and ability, ranking the early works known as Blackford's Reports, as equal to if not the superior of any works East or West. The board of trustees of the Indiana University this evening decided to start the law department, and elected Judge D. D. Banta, of Franklin, to a professorship, at a salary of $2,500 annually. He is a graduate of the university of the class of lS5t). Hanover College. Epecl&I to the Indianapolis Journal. Madison, Ind., June 12. The board of trustees of Hanover held its annual meeting in the college building yesterday. Seventeen members were present. Those from a distance were Rev. Dr. Hutchison, of Jefferson ville; Silas T, Bo wen and John H. llolliday, of Indianapolis; Rer. A. T. Rankin, of Kingston; Hon. A. C. Voris, of Bedford, and U. P. Hill, of Knightstown. Dr. Fisher, in making his tenth annual report as president of the college, remarked that he had now been in that position for a longer time than any of his predecessors. He called attention to the fact that tho present freshman class was the. largest that the college had had at anytime within the last twenty years. The graduating class is notable lor its large number of ladies, and lor its high standard of scholarship. It is an interesting fact that during the ten years of President Fisher's administration the faculty has not lost a member, either by death or by resignation. Mrs. Sallie Donuell has, during the year, added $14,000 to the endowment lund. With the accrued interest from notes assigned to the college, sho has given within a few hundred dollars of the amount necessary to endow a chair. Before the next term opens she has promised to give an additional $2,000. . . The geological cabinet has been enriched by the addition of several thousand valuable specimens, the gift of Hon. J. R. Cravens. Measures have been taken which, it is hoped, will secure to the college the fine instrument in the McKim Observatory. The outfit can be removed and placed in a suitable building for about 81,000. Mr. Lanier, of New York, has generously promised $2,000 in aid of the project. Additional gifts from Judge Voris, Mr. llolliday, Mr. Bowen and others amounted to $4o0. The following trustees were elected: In class of 'o9-'03, Charles Mount, Hon. J. R. Cravens, Hon. J. Y. Allison, Rev. J. M. Hutchison, D. D., and Rev. W. R. Brown, D. D. Iu class of WOl, Rev. David Vandyke, D. D., of New Albany, in place of Rev. A. W. Ireeraan, resigned. In class of 'SS-'92, Rer. S. P.

The German Baptists dealt their sifcters another blow to-day. Some of the brethren contended very earnestly that as the sisters did valuable work in tho Sunday-school missions, they ought to havo a voice as delegates in the conference meetings, but the male sex would not have it. They were so afraid that their action on the liquor question yesterday might be misconstrued that it was called up again, and their members were instructed not to join with po iticians in favoring the sulo and manufacture of liquor in any way. They eeemed glad the matter was disposed of without a hot debate. When members were instructed not to use or deal in tobacco, a Virginia delegate said that article was worth 8000,000,000 in the United States and warned the meeting to go elow in cutting off the growers and dealers in tobacco among tho Dunkards from making a living. If they were prohibited from havintj anj'thing to do with tobacco, it voultf bring starvation to many homes. This speech produced an impression on tho meeting, and many advised brethren not to go too far. Encouraging reports wero read on home missions and those in Denmark and Sweden.
