Mr. President: In behalf of the Faculty of Dartmouth College I present to you, Avery Eldorus Lambert; approved candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

At the summons of an ideal he abandoned the well earned security of his chosen profession to invade a new field. With rare devotion, with unflinching sacrifice, and with the true courage of an invader, to whom retreat is forever closed, he held his purpose steadfast, and won an invader's reward, a new foothold for new achievements.

The degree was thereupon conferred by the President upon Avery Eldorus Lambert, of Framingham, Mass.

PROFESSOR LORD:

Mr. President; In the class of 1876 in this College there was graduated a young man who at once gave himself to the work of library administration. After work in other places he established public libraries in Paterson, N. J., Salem, Mass., and Newark, N. J., and is now the efficient head of the public library of Brooklyn, N. Y. At the request of the Trustees I have the honor to present him, Frank Pierce Hill, to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.

THE PRESIDENT:

Frank Pierce Hill, lover and guardian of books, creator of libraries, enhancing by your administrative power the value of literature to the public, I confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.

PROFESSOR LORD:

Mr. President; The name of Aiken is honorably associated with the history of the College. In the early part of the last century three brothers of that name were graduated from Dartmouth, two of whom became tutors and then trustees of the College; and the third, a lawyer of distinction and a judge in a neighboring state, sent his son to Dartmouth, where he was graduated in 1874. This son, following his father's steps at the bar and to the bench, is now the Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, and adorns that position by his deep knowledge of law, sound sense, and brilliant wit. I have the honor to present him, John Adams Aiken, to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.

THE PRESIDENT:

John Adams Aiken, eminent in the law, man of letters and man of affairs, always and everywhere the scholar, I confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in recognition of your conspicuous services in your profession and for the State.

PROFESSOR LORD:

Mr. President; I have the honor to present one who by birth is a citizen of the United States, but who by his manifold service to mankind has become a citizen of the world. A master in the many and diverse fields of education, literature, politics, and administration, hews gained high distinction in the diplomatic service of his country at many courts, and has crowned his service, in the interests of universal peace, by presiding with dignity and effective influence over the delegation of the United States at The Hague. Having already received many academic honors from the universities of America and of Europe, he, Andrew Dickson White, is now presented to receive at your hands from the Trustees of Dartmouth College the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. THE PRESIDENT:

In asking you, Doctor White, to accept from us the renewed honor of the degree of Doctor of Laws, it is not to add to your titles, 'nor even to enroll your name among our graduates, with some of whom you have had personal relations; but it is that we may express to you some sense of your value to us all as a public man. We think of you as one of the few men who have been, and who still are essential to the country. Through your abundant learning, through your understanding of men, through the sanity of your judgment, and through the courage of your ethical and political faith, we find in you the ideal for which the public degree of Doctor of Laws stands. In this conviction, we ask you to accept it at our hands.
