THE ADDRESSES 
After the ringing of the chimes, the chairman, S. H. Gage, of the class of 1877, 
addressed the audience as follows: 
Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen: 
The purpose of our meeting to-day is to express two loyalties: 
One to our Alma Mater, which has given to us so bountifully of her 
resources, and the other to our teacher and friend, who for over forty 
years has welcomed and inspired the passing generations of students, 
and like an elder brother, has shown us, with rare skill and sympathy, 
how to see with our own eyes the facts of nature already known; and 
as a master, has shown us how to appreciate the eternal principles of 
science, and how, with sure feet to follow new paths in original investi¬ 
gation. 
This telegram has just been received: 
Corvallis, Oregon. 
From the Pacific Coast to the presentation exercises of the Com¬ 
stock Memorial come greetings and congratulations. They are 
fortunate who are able to be present to hear the expressions of 
appreciation of a master teacher, a thorough scientist, and a good 
friend. 
V. I. Safro and H. E. Ewing. 
The following message is from Dr. Paul Marchal, of the Station 
Entomologique, Paris: 
Fontenay aux Roses, June 13, 1914. 
Comstock, 
Cornell, Ithaca, N. Y. 
Amicales felicitations. 
Marchal. 
In the later part of Professor Comstock’s career, when facilities 
and assistance were put at his disposal, of which he did not dare to 
dream when some of us took his work, he had the sympathy and 
backing of the rare man, who in our generation has most clearly 
heard the “summons”, and most effectively passed on the call to feel 
again the “Nature Kinship.” This man will now address us.
