Carlcx Chancellor Capen's Inauguration A small walnut toned chest. containing the keys and seal of the University of Buffalo. handed to Dr. Capen in the Teck theater on the morning of October 28th, 1922, invested him with the authority and responsibility of the Chancellor of U. B. Wialter P. Cooke-the man who had established the greater university idea- presented the keys with the brief remarks I now declare you chancellor and in token thereof hand you the seal and keys of your high office. Chancellor Capen accepted these symbols with full realization of the honor and responsibility con- ferred and I pledge to you, the council, my colleagues and the city of Buffalo the best of which I am capable from this day forward. Seldom did the City of Buffalo entertain such an august body of educators as had assembled for the inauguration. Practically every university in the coun- try was represented by its president or some other delegate. Even Nathan L. Mil- ler, then Governor of New York State, turned aside from the political campaign of 1922, to bring the greetings of the Empire State and to congratulate Buffalo on the public spirit that had at last made possible The Greater University of Buf- falo with its first full time chancellor. Willis G. Gregory, Senior Dean of the University pledged to Dr. Capen the lieartiest co-operation of the faculty. Dr. Charles Cary who represented the alumni said that they and others had been looking forward to this day so long that some have drifted into middle life and some have even attained age. But all are still ready to work for their Alma Mater. . Thirteen. e , affix v VY, P21 PE!! -5.-r-5---..

A stern and stately judge was 'followed by several convicts who were be-decked with placards inscribed Park Department. The Arts had several interesting features. Two Frosh, in childlike garb, were led by a senior, who guided them in numerous infant toddles throughout the parade. The girls made a big hit with the crowds by wheeling a Frosh in a baby carriage. Last of all came the Frosh be-decked with green caps and arm bands. Two of them pushed a boat around the street just to show that they were all at sea. The country cousins all arrayed in their verdancy attracted considerable attention. The procession finally arrived at Hutchinson Auditorium where Mr. Irving Templeton presided. Harry Yorke spoke on behalf of the three student publica- tions, while Howard McCordock spoke on activities in general, urging the under- graduates to support Dramatics, Debating, Chess and Musical Organizations. Edward Hoffman of the Arts College outlined the social events for the year. Dr. Strohm outlined the athletic program for the school year. FOSTER HALL DEDICATED On October 27th, Foster Hall, the first of the new buildings of the Greater University of Buffalo was dedicated with ceremonies in which appropriate parts were taken by Buffalonians, visiting educators and scientists, professors and stu: dents of the University. ' ' The academic procession, led by Chancellor Capen and Mr. Cooke, started from Science Hall and proceeded across the campus to Foster Hall. Here VValter P. Cooke presented the keys of the new building to Dr. Capen who accepted them on behalf of the University. After the dedication, the exercises were continued in the auditorium of the new building where Dr. Edgar Smith extended the greetings of the American Chemical Society, of which he is president. Another speaker of national note was Dr. Edwin E. Slossen who delighted and instructed his auditors by a brilliant address entitled Chemical Research as a Constructive Servicefi wifi' P1 IQEI1 ,51 r-11 ACADYIMIC PROCESSION ARRIVES AT Fosrun Hari.

CAPHN S1-Eaxrxo AT Dicnicxriox Hxuncisizs Sir Robert Alexander Falconer, K.C.hI.G'., M.A., L.L.D. president of the Uni- versity of Toronto extended the felicitations of the Canadian colleges and universi- tiesi These universities are also by their very nature homes of internationalismf' Sir Robert said. Patriotic centers, of course, none more so, sources of citizen- ship of the highest quality, but also rernembrances of the truth that science is oneg that law is universal and that humanity has right of way over mere nationalism. So I bring you from a university an international institution, the greetings of the young nation of Canada to you the greatest republic in the world. Livingston Farrand, lNI.D., L.L.D., president of Cornell and representative .of the American Association of Universities, brought the greeting of the universities. One of the advantages of the University of Buffalo, he said, 'cis its plasticity. I hope that it will always remain so in order that it easily can be shaped to serve the public. YVhat we need is a. broadly informed citizenship and a highly infornrerl leadership, not self perpetuated but open to the infusion of new blood. There is no where We can look for that leadership except to American colleges ,and universities. Frederick C. Ferry, M.A., Ph.D., president of Hamilton College and a close friend of Dr. Capen, made a happy speech in which he paid a generous tribute to Dr. Capen's attainments and qualities as a man. For the American colleges he said he brought to Dr. Capen God-speed and good wishes. ' The audience rose as Governor Miller was introduced and again as Dr. Capen got up to make his inaugural address. He spoke clearly and forcibly with the decisiveness which his colleagues have commented upon. Viewing American education in its cosmic aspects, Dr. Capensaid, certain dis- concerting facts immediately become evident. Nearly every type of institution, except the agricultural college, is over-crowded, congestion being most pronounced Fourteen af- fm . gi ii wvlni, 1 v ,its way mi,-.g.. i f 3 . . ,mi WN X - 'iv y,ilv1W l-iif':7.Tf iiiifWmprpfglfm,q,,M,m-.:' gf h'T i ' 't ' ' if-,f 1. ,V 1 vllr'llll+lll'l ix 'illillli Mlm illilillll lllw' illlllilltl 'ill ' i l ' N W' i i ...s my Wi, i. ii . . , - , , , 4.-,,i'i,..i-ii, .iilmif . ii:-we ., 1- p . gal I -1 i rv-ia.. .. ,.i. .W , iv.. i f .- .l Wi , , ..,......, ,, ,...A. ...,u.ii.,,., n.- ,. -, - , , 5 , i, , .
