only gives needed class room, but it will serve as a monument to the classical spirit of Hamilton. Long may she endure and ever broaden in the depart- ments of scholarship. May the proud fame of Hamilton as a classxcal college be perpetuated as long as Doric simplicity shall be honored. or the acanthus leaf crown with beauty the Corinthian column, or the memory of the beloved and honored t Old Greek' shall endure immortal as the everlasting hills which his long and faithful services have consecrated to pure classical education. The Hall of Science was built in commemoration of a name which always has been, is now, and for many years to come will be, honored in its history and experience. It is built to show that Hamilton is not merely a classical school. While she is not aping those of more pretensions. she still pretends and intends to give to every student here a fundamental and thorough education in every- thing which may fit a man for that all around life for which he is made. May this feature of Hamilton College remain. I believe in every sphere of science, which is classified knowledge; everything which teaches history and raises it to a higher level will find a place in Hamilton. There has not been room here before, but there has been room at the top, and Hamilton has filled it, too. Hamilton has never been cowardly in her recognition of the Christian religion. She has always been true and undefiled before God the Father. She has always been faithful in studying the truth. Her young men have been taught that which enables them to say not creed, but credo The Hamilton man always says tI believe it,' and he is not afraid or ashamed to say so. The fathers built well and wisely when they built this Chapel, so that here this element might hnd lodgement and a home. Today I can congratulate the President, who has had his eye on this building also. He has seen to it that everything that shall make attractive this place shall be added to it. May it long have this characteristic. May it give to every young man fixed princi- ples that shall find lodgment in his heart. May the student always retain the memory of the Chapel andthe exercises that lifted him above all other sciences and all other language, and which led him to say, t I believe in truth. and Iam not ashamed to advocate and live the truthf' ,' l3
