PROCEEDINGS AND ADDRESSES 



AT THE FORMAL OPENING OE THE 



SIBLEY COLLEGE EXTENSION, 



and the unveiling of the 

 Portrait of the Honorable Hiram Sibley. 



At 2.30 on Wednesday afternoon of Commencement week, 

 Trustees, Faculty, Alumni, students, invited guests and others as- 

 sembled at Sibley College, for the formal opening of the building, 

 as it had been enlarged and improved through the munificence of 

 Mr. Sibley. After the brief ceremonies attendant upon the open- 

 ing, a procession was formed headed by President White and the 

 Hon. Henry W. Sage, for the inspection of the new museums, 

 laboratories and machine shops. This completed, the procession 

 under the charge of Lieutenant Schuyler marched to Gymnasium 

 Hall. 



The portrait, a finely executed painting by Huntington, was 

 then unveiled by President White, who referred to the history of 

 the Mechanic Arts Department, and paid fitting tribute to those 

 who had been instrumental in its development. The Hon. Eras- 

 tus Brooks then spoke for Mr. Sibley ; Walter C. Kerr, Esq., for 

 the Alumni ; the Hon, Alonzo B. Cornell, and the Hon. Stewart 

 L. Woodford for the Trustees.

 lati's orchestra concluded the exercises.
