As each succeeding class. takes its place at the head of the undergraduate list and prepares to leave Alma Mater behind and to take up the tasks for which life at Columbia has been a preparation, those of us whose work lies here find our- selves feeling pride mingled With regret. VVe are proud to think that another company of American youth, owing allegiance to Columbia and looking back upon life here with affectionate re- gard, is ready to go out and take a share in the work of the World. We have a feeling of regret that we are so soon to miss the familiar faces and the constant association with those who for four years have been an integral part of the institution's life. Nevertheless, these changes are the law of life itself. So im- pressed was an ancient philosopher by the constant change in the aspect of things that he conceived of change as the fundamental principle which ruled the World. Who dares say that he was Wholly Wrong? But these changes are beneficent and upbuilding only when they carry into the new state or condition the best of What has been gained earlier. Life's law of gravitation seems to be the reverse of the law of gravitation in nature. In life it is the solidest and Weightiest characters and attainments that ultimately find their place at the top. No Columbia class has ever failed to produce some man or some men who have gained eminence and often distinction in the service of their kind and of their country. I am sure that the Class of 1909 is no exception to the rule. In the years to come, when you return for your gathw erings and reunions here, you Willbring with you some-I hope many-Whom the world has already recognized as men of useful- ness and of mark. You cannot break the old ties if you would, and I know that you would not if you could. As long as Colum- bia. stands, her doors are open to her sons. With heartiest greeting and every good wish to each and every member of the Class, I am, Sincerely yours, NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER. I DEAN'S LETTER To the Members of the Class of 1909: I have no doubt that the present time is with you a season of rejoicing mingled with regret and, possibly, also with disappoint- ment. The rejoicing is easily accounted forg you are released from many restrictions, you are largely free to go and come as you please, to do that which you like best to do, and are, in a fuller sense than ever before, your own men. The grounds of the regret are not far to seek g-the leaving of accustomed surround- ings, the breaking .up of associations of which you have grown fond, and the loss of companionship which you have learned to prize. Your disappointment, if you have any, and doubtless many of you feel disappointed, arises from the reflection that you have gotten less from college life than you anticipated from it in the beginning, and that you have not made the best use of your op- portunities: you feel, and perhaps think, that, if you had the time to go over again, you would put the emphasis on other things than those upon which you now fancy you put too much stress. The disappointment is natural and is such as affects very many men in every Walk of life. Indulgence in it is utterly futile, ex- cept for one consideration. Your disappointment, discontent with yourself, is one of the benefits of your collegiate course. You are dissatisfied, because you now see clearly, what before you saw through a glass darkly, the value of timeg you have a better sense of co-ordination, a clearer perspective, a better instructed judgment as to the relative worth of things which you did and those that you might have done but failed to do. You have been slowly, unconsciously, perhaps, but surely, acquiring a philoso- phy of lifeg your disappointment, or discontent, is the crucible in which the elements of that philosophy are being tried out, and the re-agents used are those which your college course has given you. You have witnessed, and have done much to promote, the growth of a better community life than you found when you came here. The students as a body look more to each other, the under- classmen to the older students, for guidance in their serious and lighter interests than was the case when you became students of the College. Disputes, which are sure to arise in any community, have been more largely settled out of court, that is, have been disposed of Without intervention of other than student authority. The Board of Student Representatives-which you have loyally supported-with the sense of power and responsibility that at- taches to it, has been a potent factor in this matter. You have done your full share in improving undergraduate publications, in diversifying the interests of College life, in fostering a wholesome academic spirit, and in making Columbia brighter and better for your presence here as students. Hold fast to your idealsg cher- ish your enthusiasmsg avoid indifferentism, as you would a pesti- lenceg profit by your mistakes feverybody makes themj and spurn useless regrets, be good citizens and, above all, good meng let each heed the precept-'c Do the duty that lies nearest thee which thou knowest to be a duty! The second duty will already become clearer? With my best wishes to all and every one of you, I am, with affectionate regard, Sincerely yours, J. I-I. VAN AMMNGE.

Carpenter and Anna Morgan Carpenter. He prepared at the Trinity School, New York City. Rhys, while in our midst, devoted himself to the uplift of literature. Through the pages of the Monthly which he made in his Freshman year, and of which he was editor- in-chief during his third year, he waged a merry war with that large tribe known as Philistania Columbiana, and was by no means unsuccessful. Indeed, if . he had not been called to Iris' ranks, there is small doubt but that we should all be reading Swinburne on our way to college, or be talking like Maeterlinck characters as we partook of Mr. Jones' cheering repasts. But Rhys in his Junior year won the first Rhodes Scholarship that has ever been held by a Columbia man, and is now absorbed by tog- gers, battels and other mysteriously English things. Carpenter won the Spingarn prize for poetry and shared the essay prize with that other illustrious literateur of the class of 1909, Lemon Fraser, in his Junior year.

W 1 CLASSLDAY SPEECHES PRESIDENTS ADDRESS Just across the Hudson, on the bluffs overlooking that majestic river, on a beautiful July morning one hundred and five years ago, two men met in a duelg one went forth unharmed, later to commit treason and to become an outcast on the face of the earth. The other, mortally wounded, fell at the first fire. He was taken to his home, lingered a few hours in terrible pain, and died. The death of this man caused an outburst of bitter and indignant grief throughout the nation. The people knew that a great man had fallen. What sort of man was he whose death was considered a na- tional calamity? Born on the island of Nevis forty-seven years before, he was precocious in the extreme, his mind and character developing with the rapidity of its luxuriant tropical plants. In his fifteenth year, this small, dark-skinned West Indian came to New-York to obtain an education. He entered what is now Co- lumbia College. Gifted with a tremendous capacity for work, he threw himself heart and soul into his college duties, gaining knowledgelwith quick remarkable facility, while the tireless activ- ity of his mind continually sent his thoughts ranging into broader fields of learning. . We are told that during the afternoons he walked in the shade ofthe treks, on 'Batteau Street, plunged in thought and talking eagerly to himself. .Some persons must have speculated vaguely about his future, as people are wont to do about those who give, or seem to give, obvious promise of anillustrious career. He was deprived of the privilege which will in a few days be granted to us-that of being graduated' from college. While he was leading the reflective life- of a student, meditating and dream- ing of -the things he would later do, the great American Revolution came to a crisis, and he left the classroom to become a leader of men on the battlefield. The rest of his life you have known since childhood. I choose to speak to you about ALEXANDER HAMILTON for several reasons. It seems appropriate that, on this occasion, when our class meets alone for the last time prior to its going out into the world, that a few words about a great and inspiring alumnus like Hamilton might prove beneficial. In the mind of each of us the memory of the deeds and char- acter of Alexander Hamilton is indelibly imprinted. VVashing- ton created, or at least caused to be created, our national unity, Hamilton actually created the political entity. Unquestionably he was the maker of the government of the United States. Therefore, permit me, fellow classmates, to offer Alexander Hamilton, Columbia's greatest alumnus, America's wisest states- man, as an example to follow, throughout our lives, no matter in what fields of activity we may be engaged. There is not a man here, on the brink of life's broad field of battle, who commences the struggle with less than Hamilton pos- sessed when he started life. His two assets were a brain and eu- ergy. Ours course here should have developed and trained the former and stimulated the latter. In the elements of intellectual greatness he had no superior. Of unconquerable will power, large in his sympathies, he was by his birth-gift a master of men. It was inevitable that a man with such courage, integrity, leadership, directness, and selflreliance should write his name large in his country's history. In the first place, following the precepts of those kindly mas- ters, who had guided his thought and action, Hamilton cherished his Alma Mater. Particularly did he recall the great infiuence that his undergraduate activity had in shaping his whole future life. This is one of the reasons why Columbia is proud of Ham- ilton. Love of college, love of professors, and love of active participa- tion in the student world, are not sentiments to be despised, rather duties which ought to play an important part in developing char- acter. College life has changed somewhat since Hamilton was an undergraduate. The forces which now go to develop the college man are stronger and more variedg but the spirit of Columbia must always remain the same,-that spirit of love, and of self- sacrilice, which Hamilton so gloriously strove to emulate. Hamilton had the kindness, the gentleness, the manhood, the independence of true greatness. He hated ignorance, but he loathed the man with knowledge and a fertile brain who failed to use them. Our college training should have freed us from the chains of ignorance and prepared us to fill the world with intel- lectual light. Hamilton built upon a rock. He was never satisfied until he fully understood the why and Wherefore of all important things. This was the reason for his being able to make the most abstruse social and political problems become luminous. His logic, a product of sincerity and intelligence, shed light everywhere. His candor, his innate love of truth, often deceived the deceitful. Never too dignified to admit that he did not know, never afraid to ask, he won the confidence of his people. -He was firm, but not obstinate, he was self-reliant, but not egotistical. Nobly did he bear adversity. Courage throbbed in every vein. Differ as We may regarding his political beliefs, We are all agreed that his real character, which is disclosed in his use of power, was always for the benefit and the uplifting of the nation. If, then, these facts be true, and they are unimpeachable veri- tiesg if Alexander Hamilton, our greatest alumnus, became such because of this courageous nobility, this candid integrity, this executive ability, does it not behoove us, about to become alumni -let us hope great and worthy alumni-to imitate and emu- late this remarkable man in nobility of character and in efHciency of action? The class of 1909, amb-itious of success, I firmly be- lieve and fervidly hope, will surpass in achievement and in honor any similar body of men who have gone forth from this institution. That it may so surpass and triumphantly achieve, that, after the long lapse of the returning years, we may contentedly look back upon deeds done and victories Won, it lies incumbent upon each member of that class to observe, to study, to strive partly to equal the life, Work and glory of Alexander Hamilton. HICKMAN PRICE. CLASS HISTORY Mr. President, Fellow Classmates, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is no easy task to chronicle the history of the last four years at Columbia University, to describe, Within the confines of this paper, the many-sided life on Morningside Heights. Yet that was the duty imposed upon me when I was chosen historian of the class of 1909. When you realize that ever since the autumn of 1905, Columbia documents have been busy recording the achieve- ments of 1909, you will appreciate the difficulty I have experi- enced. You see before you a number of ponderous tomes con- taining the issues of The Columbia Spectator for the past four years. In these you will find our records by-opening at any page. But let me emphasize the past, ladies and gentlemen, that with the advent of our senior year, the four page paper Was found to be insufiicient to present the deeds of 1909 to an admiring public, and it was deemed advisable therefore to double the size of the paper. Let me add that this seemingly Utopian feat was accom- plished by the 1909 board. And now I have been called upon to epitomize this vast amount of material, and I trust that Mr. Ring- Walt,s Sophomoric instruction in brief-making Will, for the first and last time in the course of my life, stand me in good stead. At the outset let me assure you that this history is to be char- acterized above all else by a rigid adherence to truth. All ex- aggeration is to be eliminated, and if what I am about to relate to you appears impossible for one class, I simply refer you to any page in these records. Some of you may have listened with rapt attention to other class histories, and are acquainted with the hyperbolical and extravagant flights of fancy which might Well be entitled The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen at an American University. But our purpose is emphatically to unfold an truthful panorama of four years which have passed all too quickly. Historian Munchausen usually commences with a glowing de- scription of Freshmen days, and in that Way he proves his tremen- dous and unthinkable stupidity. We truthfully admit We were like other Freshmen who had preceded us. When we passed from the darkness of the subway into the light of day we were beset without more ado by a crowd of valiant Sophomoresiwho were kind enough to sell us rules and provide us with buttons,-al- though curiously enough they demanded remuneration for what they considered a brand of shame. But far was it from accomplishing their full purpose. In hoc signo 'vinces-was true of this white button. For by the sign of the white button we recognized our classmates, and effected a stronger organization than would otherwise have been possible. At noon we gathered for the first time and organized under the leadership of S. L. Kingsland, that veteran Freshman, who like a. number of others, has since left the comforting associations of 1909. I believe I said there was nothing to differentiate us from other gentlemen of the Order of the White Button. But I was wrong. On that same Wednesday we crossed Broadway to West Field, followed by the eager and bloodthirsty J uniors-for third year men are notoriously cannibalistic in their tendencies. There we found a waiting band of Sophs. The truth is this: we re- pelled the warriors in less time than it takes to tell, and returned triumphant from the first class fight. It goes without saying that we broke up the Soph smoker with the greatest ease. After all this, the Sophomores were rather down-hearted. So the flag rush, which is a contrivance to console the second year men, fol- lowed hard upon these other class conflicts, and a truly classical struggle followed--one that would have looked Well in the pages of Homer. But the Hag remained in the hands of 1908 and we retired to the Cafe Leon to eradicate from our physiognomies the liberal proportion of shoe-blacking which some overambitious Juniors had smeared upon us. By this time, ladies and gentlemen, I fear you will think a class history closely resembles a history of the world, which is a con- tinued record of battle and strife. But we also have our social and artistic life. Before we turn to this, however, you must hear about our athletic teams, which so often waged successful war upon neighboring tribes and upon the clan of Sophomores in our own tribe, who would not let us rest in peace. We proved our superiority to them, however, in basketball, baseball and hockey, although in the famous battle of the gridiron We met a glorious defeat, for Dame Fortune smiled upon our opponents. In the next battle, too, they proved they could run faster than We could, although in this case it gave them the palm of victory. In every athletic contest 1909 proved an honorable opponent and often succeeded in adding trophies to our large collection. Socially, I have said, We excelled. We held our Freshman din- ner at Healey's. They tell me there was a notice of it in Town Topics. Therefore it Was a social success. Q. E. D. The literary men made Monthly and Spectator and they pro- ceeded to pull these more or less unfortunate Wanderers out of the Slough of Despond. The Freshman debating team became the interclass champions. This will give you an idea of the univer- sality of 1909. To a large extent We had fulfilled the high ideals We had set up as a standard and We came back to our Sophomore year with a firm determination to approach these ideals more nearly. I see by your expectant faces that you are eagerly waiting to hear about our Sophomore smoker. We held ours of necessity at Fort Lee and from present indications in a few years it will be necessary for the University authorities to grant a few days vaca- tion before and after the smoker in order to permit the under- classmen to get to and from the scene of the smoker. It was a pleasing sight to see with what ease We made a miscellaneous collection of Freshmen on that eventful morning. During the day We gave these gentlemen such proficient instruction in singing and dancing that when the time was ripe for their performance in the evening, they entertained us right royally. Finally the Fresh- men, with the material aid of the fire department, which was called out to quell an incipient riot, put a stop to our hilarity and We were soon glad to leave Fort Lee. Of course we successfully de- fended the 1909 banner against the attacks of 1910. Then our Sophomore show Hurly Burlyv proved that the class had a plentiful supply of histrionic ability. But it would Weary you to continue in a detailed description of our many successes and few failures. We now begin to increase our interest in Varsity affairs and 1909 numerals often follow the names of the members of the Varsity teams. The 1907 Varsity show, too, was composed by our fellow classmate, Emil Breitenfeld, who has since contributed another of his masterpieces to the University. In our Junior year most of the teams were composed of 1909 men. Through the untiring efforts of Carl Kayser and his asso- ciates on the board, a Columbian, acknowledged by everyone to be the best ever published up to that time, appeared, and it was the first book that ever turned over a surplus to the class treas- urer. Need 1 describe Junior Week? But for the benefit of those who were unfortunate enough not to be present at this time of gayety and frivolity, let me attempt to give a slight idea of its magnifi- cence. They say Roger Criado never had a better time in all his life than during this week. Everywhere there were girls, girls, girls,-tall girls, short girls, pretty girls and-none that wasn't. When the Junior ball at the St. Regis came as the crowning event of the week, everyone declared it was the most successful ever held. In this event, then, as in many others, we have established a prece- dent which succeeding classes will do well to emulate. Our Senior year found us with an increased supply of dignity, caps and gowns helping to create this illusion. With the excep- tion of the crew, the majority of the men on the athletic teams have been Seniors. Their interests have been widespread and to sum up, they have ruled everywhere. We must not forget that Arthur Alexander succeeded in extricating the crew from an ex- tremely grave situation and that Spectator, due to Koo, Melville, and Price, is now at the head of all college dailies, with its eight pages crammed full of news and a little advertising. DONALD ARMSTRONG. CTO be continued on class dayj VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Friends and Classmates: There is a time in life for everything and the time for serious- ness follows close on the heels of merriment. A man coming to a number of people with earnest thoughts to express is fortunate, indeed, if he has an opportunity of speaking to them While their frame of mind is a happy one. We have all listened with pleasure to a recital of the humorous incidents which have occurred in the college life of the class of nineteen hundred and nine. This is a good time, therefore, for us to consider what a college education is, What significance it hasr, and in what manner it aims to transform the boy into the man. VVhat is a college education to us who are about to graduateg what significance will it have in our unfolding lives, and has it changed us from irresponsible boys into responsi- ble men? Seen from the immature perspective of the average Freshman, from the highly idealized and painful eminence of the average Senior or from the firmer standpoint of the graduate en- gaged in the practical work of life, these are interesting questions. At the end of four years of association with each other as Colum- bia men we may seem unduly disposed, to-day, to be gay and humorous. Yet deep in the heart of each of us the most cherished thought is of our Alma Mater. We have a deep sense of how Co- lumbia has transformed us, and above all else we are conscious of a longing, as alumni, to express in some practical and beautiful Way our gratitude to our foster mother. As Freshmen We were full of hope, of expectation, and of enthusiasm for Columbia, but we had not yet learned to know her Well. In fact, we were skeptical of our ability to fill success- fully our allotted place in College life. We expected the work in the class-room to be a long, conventional grind, and, although we had some vague impressions of 'college athletics, college journal- ism, debating, and other extra-curricular activities, we could not understand then, as we do now, the tremendous influence these activities were to exert in the growth of well-rounded, broad- minded men. We have found a college education to be a compre- hensive thingg we have found it to stand for the healthy and har- monious development of the whole man-body, intelligence, and character. A college is not a place where men are taught to rely on memory. One does not apprehend a fact until he apprehends its underlying principle, and striving to get at the principle is the Way to think. Thus the college helps the student to acquire the power of insight, the ability to look beneath' appearances, in a word the power of thinking. Knowledge may, or may not, be powerg thinking is always power. To think logically is the es- sence of a college education. The significance of a college education-this ability to think- lies in its developing in the individual student the subsequent abil- ity to see things in a correct relationship to onpe another. As Freshmen we saw things in disjointed relations or as a conglom- erate whole, but we see now, as graduates, that We have acquired in our college course an interest in thinking for its own sake, a respect for learning and literature. and some sense of our responsibilities as citizens. If We have made the most of our years in these halls. we now perceive our true relation not only to learning and liter- ature, but also to the facts of ezcistenceg and we ought to be able and eager to make for ourselves satisfactory and efficient appli- cations of the ideas we have assimilated. This cultivated appreciation of relationships, moreover, has ex- erted an influence on our ideals. We ask ourselves-has college fostered in us the growth of individuality and strength in per- sonal character? Yes. How? By placing us under the care and direction of professors who are eminent scholars and gentle- men. Emerson once Wrote to his daughter. alt matters little what your studies areg it all lies in who is your teacherf' We may not have stopped to think, we may not realize how much the personality of a teacher means in the formation of a student's character. A stern reproof here, a kind sympathetic word there, or a noble example set for us at the most impressionable ageg these are the forces by which character is shaped. President Butler has won our respect and admiration. His ideas may not always be our ideas, and his policies may not always be our poli- ciesg but in him we recognize an acclaimed leader-one of the edu- cational statesmen to whom it is given to frame the educational development of a continent. And Dean Van Amringe! What student before his Senior year does not know and love Van Am? Every Columbiaman is proud to have Writ 'neath his name, All free from hollow sham, In characters of living flame, O. K. Van Am. The varied ability of the Columbia faculty-broad-minded, metropolitan, drawn from so many of our great institutions of learning-has powerfully influenced and developed us. This we realize so truly at this commencement when some of those who have done the most for us are no longer here. Columbia College, in the words of President Butler, takes the American youth in four of the best years of his life and aims to make him a man who knows the difference between the right and the Wrong, Who prefers the right, Who can capably take his place in college life, and afterward in the larger life itself, as a citizen, and who does take that place. This means that Columbia has offered to each of us a training which should make us something more than mere business or professional men, a training that ought to make us unselfishly interested in the improvement of po- litical and social conditions. Every great problem is fundamen- tally a social problem. And to attain a high standard of citizen- ship should be the ideal of every man. In our American democ- racy, especially, college education is not a luxury but a necessity, not an ornament but the structure itself. The virtues needed for the best citizenship are culture and the intellectual force which the college gives g the culture which fits a man to live, as the right kind of an American must live, always in face of questions of how his government should be carried on to the best advantage of each citizen-questions which involve the largest knowledge, the clear- est insight, and the soundest character. In comparing the English college-man with the American col- lege-man, an English writer paid a high tribute to our standards of honor. The honor principle, he said, which is in Europe a product of the individuality and applies to the college only in the matter of study, seems to be in America an outcome of the general college spirit. It is not merely an individually acquired distinction, it is in the college atmosphere. To its moral achievements the American college may point with greatest pride, and they are the more remarkable, since they seem to be the result of a law unspoken and almost wholly enforced by the students themselves. What a force for civic righteousness our lives can be if we live up at all times to the spirit of this tribute! The spirit of honor is the spirit of service. And it ought to actuate every college man. Scholarship and service-scholarship for serv- ice-the service of the Republic and the service of man, which is citizenship. The college is a place for training citizens. Fellow-classmates, we have enjoyed these beautiful spring days of our last college year and we would wish them to linger. We would Wish also that we might stay in this corresponding season of our maturing youth which still keeps the freshness of spring- time, while it is drawing close to the riper summer and the fruitful autumn of our lives. For us the springtime of life is rapidly merging into the summer, yet it is still remote from the autumn season. Out of college life have arisen delightful associations and friendships always to remain. Many of the old ties must break, but their tender impress will last as long as life itself, and we shall always be bound together as classmates. To-day we feel a bond higher than the ties which have gripped us in our col- lege course, higher than those which unite us as undergraduates to Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, or to our own classmates, a bond which links us to the thousands who before have trod these walks-a bond of love for old Columbia. We pledge ourselves to make our lives fruitful for our Alma Mater. We are strong in numbers, We are strong in spirit, and we are strong in our desire to become true men and good citizens for the sake of the college We love. We need only steadfastness of purpose and a firmer appre- ciation of what the honor of college really means. The loyalty is there already, for written on the heart of each man in the class of nineteen hundred and nine stays this motto: Long may- Columbia stand, Honored throughout the land, Our Alma Mater grand, Now and for aye. GEORGE BROKAW CoMP'ro-N. CLASS POEM Ten thousand sons have passed from out Their Alma Mater's care. On each the seal Columbiae Collegii for, properly, Columbiae Collegiij Was stamped, as if to say ' This boy is mineg his Materis son, The brand O. K., A Number One! And each has proved it square. A thousand thousand more shall pass, The self same seal on each, And here between the thousands gone And thousands more that reach On to the very end of time, We stand, a tiny class. On us that honored seal is stamped Deep graven in each heartg lint still another seal we bear- One that is ours apart. For when our Alma Mater comes, Her poor heart almost broken To send this class she holds so dear From out her gates, she stopsg and here, On you, with proud affectionis tear, She marks another token.
