Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Later Aspects of Our New Duties At the celebration of Commemoration Day, in pursuance of previous action by the governing bodies of the University, Cyrus Fogg Brackett, Henry Professor of Physics, made the following presentation: Mr. President: I have the honor to present for the degree of Doctor of Laws the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, Editor of The Tribune. Mr. Reid is a conspicuous example of our better American citizenship, as witness the various positions of influence, honor, and trust which he has worthily occupied. To have served as legislative, war and general correspondent for various influential journals during the stirring times of the Civil War, to have passed rapidly to the Editorship-in-Chief of The Tribune, were enough to give scope to the powers and to satisfy the ambitions of most men. But it was our good fortune that Mr. Reid accepted the mission to France, in 1889, when difficult matters were pending, and that by his wisdom and tact he secured a satisfactory solution of them. More recently he gracefully represented this country at the Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen. Still more recent and honorable service has he rendered his country and the world as a member of the Commission which sat in Paris to adjust the conditions of peace following the conflict of arms between this country and Spain. Besides these Mr. Reid has other claims to grateful recognition arising from his continued interest in literature and learning. After conferring the degree, and welcoming Mr. Reid to the fellowship of the University, its President, the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton, continued: We are here to-day to celebrate the 153d anniversary of the signing of the charter of Princeton University. We give a very large and grateful welcome to our friends who have done us the honor of visiting us on this occasion. At this time it is customary for the President of the University to say something in respect to the progress of the University during the interval since our last meeting. We express anew our obligations to that most generous alumnus of Princeton University who has given us Stafford Little Hall.
