With the trees on the front campus in full bloom and the sun shining down from a clear sky. enhancing the beauty of a perfect 'May morning, nothing could have been more impressive than the sight presented as President Hibben, speaking from the steps of the historic old building, between the two bronze Tigers,-the Hguards of Old Nassau, - took his oath of office and formally opened what promises to be a new era in the history of one of the oldest and most famous universities in the United States. It was par- ticularly fitting that the inauguration ceremonies should take place on the steps of Old North, the very soul of Princeton University as it is today,-the building Whose memory is dear to the heart of every Princeton Alumnus, and which has seen one hundred and fifty-six Princeton classes come and go. Before the taking of the oath, Professor Henry van Dyke, '73, Murray Professor of English Literature in the University, read a short passage from I Corinthians 13, and a brief prayer. The Honorable Mahlon Pitney, 579, Associate justice of the Supreme Court, then administered the oath of office to President Hibben. President Hibben was now formally recognized as the fourteenth President of Princeton and received the keys of the University from the Honorable john Aikman Stewart, Senior member of the Board of Trustees. He then arose and delivered his inaugural address, taking as his subject the fitting theme-f'The Essentials of a Liberal Education. ' N N :D
