TAMES WHITCOMR RILEY, it has been oiven •J oii to know deeply the life of a people. It ha.s been given von to see the central trnth that the language and manners and faiths of a people are of essential value and dignity. There has fallen upon you the gift of tongues, so that men from afar, the wise, and the simple hear and understand you. .Above all. our own people understand you. The old farmer at the close of his long battle with the wilderness sees the land glorified about him by your song. The little children hear you and confer upon you an honor higher than any academic dignity when they gather with joy about vour feet. Now. therefore, the Uni- versity of Indiana, which is also the child of the peo- ple, which represents their spirit and their hojie. in- vites you to academic fellowship in conferring upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws. These are the words which President Bryan spoke on the occasion of Mr. Riley ' s receiving the honorary degfee in IQ07.
