It is a great privilege tohave as our guest of honor this afternoon a man distinguished in the diplomatic service of the country,and distinguished, at the same time, as an educator.To President James B. Angell the education of thewest and northwest is more greatly indebted than toany other living man.I desire also to welcome to the halls of the University the members of other universities who are to laborwith us during the quarter upon which we now enter— representatives of universities in foreign lands andin our own country.Some of you will recall the statement made at theApril Convocation, that no announcements relating tothe financial condition of the University will be madeuntil January first. In accordance with that announcement, I desire to postpone all reference to that department of the University's work. We are celebrating this afternoon the most important day in the history of the University year, Founders' Day, and as we come together our thoughts mustgo to the distant city in which our Founder and hisgood wife live. With these thoughts there also comefeelings of gratitude for what he and the many whohave been associated with him have made possible inthis place.A very pleasant custom has been adopted by theBachelors of the University in connection with theirgraduation. This is the custom of presenting to theUniversity some token of their regard. I desire, onbehalf of the Trustees of the University, to accept thegift of this beautiful desk, which has been made bythose who take the Bachelor's degree today. Thisdesk, and the chair given by the Class of '97, willalways be used, as they are used today, in connectionwith the Convocations of the University. In acknowledging this gift, I wish to express our appreciation ofthe sentiment which leads those who have been withinthe walls of the University thus to leave behind thema memento of their residence.The Convocation Programme this afternoon includes something out of the usual order — the Bachelors' Address. This is introduced because it hasbeen believed that the students should have a largershare in the Convocation exercises. This address willbe given for the first time by Mr. Charles LindsayBurroughs, upon the subject, "The Personal Influence of the College Teacher."We begin today the work of a new scholastic year.There is every reason to believe that it will afford opportunities for success in work equal to those whichother years have afforded. It will be our privilege touse these opportunities to the best advantage.Calendar.JULY 14-22, 1899.Friday, July 14.Chapel-Assembly : Divinity School. — Chapel, CobbHall, 10:30 a.m.University Open Lectures :8 :30 a.m. " Hebrew Wisdom Literature."
