minded men have started the new era. 

 They have shown their confidence in the 

 work of the University and set an example 

 to their fellow men. I would not detract in 

 the least from the praise due to every one 

 of these gentlemen, but I am sure the 

 others whom I have named will pardon me 

 if in conclusion I exclaim. Long live "Wil- 

 liam Wyman and William Keyser! 



PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATES FOR 

 HONORARY DEGREES* 



To the Assembly: 



From time immemorial, it has been the 

 custom of universities at festive celebra- 

 tions, to bestow upon men of learning, per- 

 sonal tokens of admiration and gratitude. 

 In conformity with this usage, our univer- 

 sity desires to place upon its honor list the 

 names of scholars who have been engaged 

 with us in the promotion of literature, sci- 

 ence and education. In accordance with 

 the request of the Academic Council and 

 in their name, I have the honor and the 

 privilege of presenting to the President of 

 the Johns Hopkins University those whose 

 names I shall now pronounce, asking their 

 enrolment as members of this ' Societas 

 magistrorum et discipulorum. ' 

 To the President: 



Mr. President: In the name of the 

 Academic Council, I ask that several schol- 

 ars, who pursued advanced studies under 

 our guidance, without proceeding to de- 

 grees, be now admitted to the degree of 

 Master of Arts, honoris causa, and assured 

 of our hearty welcome to this fraternity.

* On behalf of the University, by Dr. D. C. Gil- 

 man, President Emeritus, on the occasion of the 

 celebration of the twenty-fifth aniversary of the 

 founding of the University. 



Robert Lee Randolph, 

 Lawrason Riggs, 

 Heney M. Thomas, 

 Julian Le Roy White. 



Mk. President : I have now the honor of 

 presenting to you, one by one, a number of 

 eminent men, recommended by a commit- 

 tee of the professors, and of asking you to 

 admit them to the degree of Doctor of 

 Laws, honoris causa, in the Johns Hopkins 

 University. 



Three of these scholars were friends and 

 counsellors of the Trustees before any mem- 

 ber of this Faculty was chosen. They 

 pointed out the dangers to be avoided, the 

 charts to be followed, and during seven and 

 twenty years they have been honored 

 friends, by whose experience we have been 

 guided, by whose example we have been in- 

 spired. 



Charles William Eliot, President of Harvard 

 University, oldest and most comprehensive of 

 American institutions, — ^the Chief, whose wisdom, 

 vigor, and devotion to education have brought him 

 honors which we gladly acknowledge, which we 

 cannot augment. 



James Burrill AngelL, teacher, writef, diplo- 

 matist, scholar, excellent in every calling, whose 

 crowning distinction is his service in developing 

 the University of Michigan, a signal example of 

 the alliance between a vigorous state and a vigor- 

 ous university. 



Andrew Dickson White, honored Ambassador 

 of the United States in Germany, the organizer of 

 Cornell University, whose diplomatic success in- 

 creases the distinction he had won as an able 

 professor, a learned historian, and a liberal pro- 

 moter of science, literature and art. 



With these early friends, I now present 

 to you several men who have been asso- 

 ciated with us in carrying on the work of 

 this University: — 



John Shaw Billings, able adviser of the Trus- 

 tees of the Johns Hopkins Hospital respecting 

 its construction, an authority on the history of 

 medicine, a promoter of public hygiene, a famous 

 bibliographer and the wise administrator of public 

 libraries in the City of New York. 



Granville Stanley Hall, who planned and 

 directed the first laboratory of experimental psy-
