At 4 o'clock the base-ball team meet defeat at the hands of the Michigan team. After the game the President gave a dinner to official guests at the Quadrangle Club. ln the evening the weather was perfect for the brilliant convocation reception. Nearly all of the two thous- and windows facing the campus were illuminated 5 the convocation tent was fairly burst- ing with light. From a band-stand near Haskell, the band rendered a concert program which won it great praise as a musical organization, inside of the tent an elegant assemblage of more than three thousand people crowded up among the palms to the platform where stood tl1e receiving party: the president, Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller, Mr. and Mrs. Ryerson, and Dean Judson. The nnal day of the celebration opened with the Graduate Matutinal. At 9:30 the faculties, trustees, councilors, marshals, Dr. D. K. Pearsons, Mr. Rockefeller and other guests, marched to the Club House corner. From a platform erected above the founda- tion of the tower, the President announced that tl1e Commons had been provided by a Chicago business man, that Mr. john J. Mitchell was the donor of the Tower, that the money for the Club House had been given by the estate of joseph Reynolds, and that Leon Mandel presented the Assembly Hall. The COII11l10l1S corner-stone was set by Mr. James Milton Sheldon and the address was delivered ,by Professor Albion XV. Small. That of the Tower was laid by Mr. joseph Chalmers Hazeng and Professor Richard Green Moulton gave the address. Mr. David Alla11 Robertson was the layer of the Students' Club House corner-stone and at this ceremony Professor George Edgar Vincent delivered the address. At Leon Mandel Assembly Hall, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch delivered the address after Mr. Henry Magee Adkinson had set the stone. Immediately after these exercises the procession to the convocation tent was formed. Decennial addresses were made by : President Martin A. Ryerson for the Board of Trustees, Professor Frank F. Abbott, in behalf of the Faculties. Mr. Arthur E. Bestor for the Studems and Alumni, Mr. George E. Adams for the city of Chicago. President Harper introduced the founder of the University. When Mr. Rocke- feller arose to speak the whole audience arose in a body and remained standing until he reached the speaker's desk. The founder congratulated the University on its president, its board of trustees, its faculties, he gave some sensible advice to the students, he closed with praise for Chicago, Long may she live to foster and develop this sturdy repre- sentative of her enterprise and public spirit. After the Convocation the Congregation dinner was held in the As You Like It tent. Professor Chamberlain was toast-master. Mr. Rockefeller in a speech kindly and wittily declared that he did not regard the Univer- sity as the New Englander regarded a burying ground, a place where those who were in couldn't get out, and those who were out didn't want to get in, for he was in it and didn't want to get out. In closing he proposed three cheers for Andrew Carnegie, Who has contributed more to education and other good causes in America than any other man. The cheers were given heartily, but with boomerang effect they returned to john D. Rockfeller. When the President arose to speak, the founder led the audience in aris- lng to cheer him. President Harper briefly reminded the University of the share Mrs. Rockefeller had in the founding of the Pniversity and the share she had in gratitude for the founding of the institution. Then drawing out his watch, the President declared that it was three minutes past five, that the summer quarter had already begun, that the Decennial Celebration was of the past. I2
