THE NEW PRESIDENT
OF YALE UNIVERSITY
CABEER AND OPINIONS OF AR
THUR T. HADLEY.
Tho Most Nervous Man In the World.
A Conservative Radical Who Be
lieves in Making Things Hum.
The Policy of Ynle Expected to
Undergo Many Changes.
Prom the TImcs-lIerald
In the new era which hup. Just
dawned for Yalo, Arthur T. Hadley,
president- olect, has become a national
figure. ISy tho choice of President
Hadley Yale corporation Invited chango
In the university policy from Its very
.foundations. Left to act freely In his
administrate o policy by tlicrcslfrna
tlon of all the associate executive of
ficials of President Dwlglit, supported
by an enthusiastic radical majority In
the corporation, and urRed for the pres
idency by a petition signed by three
fourths of tho college- faculty, his new
policy and Mt personal preferences will
have almost full swing.
AH over America the question Is be
ing asked: "What are President Had
ley's views? What is lie likely to do
with tho elective courses' "With what
requirements for admission' What
with the different departments of tho
university, remodeling tho schemes
which now runs through each In a con
fused way? What with university ex
tension, the compulsory chapel and tho
college pastorate questions, and with
the complicated problems of under
graduate and general Intercollegiate
athletics?"
With his characteristic candor President-elect
Hadley lias said In nnswer
to these Inquiries: "For tho present
I must request to be excused from dis
cussing nny branch of my policy. I do
not wish to obscure any of my future
plans or to prevent their full public dis
cussion and announcement, but I ask
for a little time for conference."
It Is characteristic, of .Yale's new
president that, although a liberal to the
core, ho turns, at the very beginning
of his administration, to advisers. His
closest friends aro the most evenly
balanced of Yale's Graduate sons, and
among them nro numbered justices of
tho supreme bench, governors, sena
tors and leaders of the educational
world throughout the country. Tho fact
that President Hadley listens for ad
vice at this period will deceive no one
who ever met him. He has never been
accused of lacking Independence, and
neither an Impersonal nor a vacillating
policy will ever mail: his administra
tion. Even before his Inauguration
words of no uncertain tone will bo
spoken relating to Ills plans, affecting
tho destiny of Ynle, and indirectly that
of university education throughout
America.
UNDERGRADUATES MUST WORK.
On certain vital points of Yale policy
President Hadley Is, however, on rec
ord. He says that, electlves or re
quired studies, the Yale undergraduate
must work. In speaking of the two
leading departments of Yale, the aca
demic or college proper and the scien
tific, or Sheffield Sclentlllc School, ha
paid some time ago: "Harvard la strict
about her degrees, and lax about the
previous rours-e of her students. If a
man has been Idle for four years he
will lose his degree. Yale, on the other
hand, has no room for Idlers in her
elective halls. Her facilities are so far
overcrowded that every bad man el
bows a good man out of rlaeo. She has
no room for the vast number of 'spec
ial' students a few of them deserving,
the majority incompetent who clamor
for entrance at every large university.
A man must pass certain Nominations
or he cannot enter Yale. He must bo
regular In his attendance or he will bo
sent home. He must maintain a cr
taln standard of scholarship or he will
be "dropped." This stringency of re
quirement is the heritage which Yale
has received from President Woolsey,
andthegroupof men who worked under
him. However much the undergradu
ate may chafe under It or rebel against
it, it is this which makes college life
and collego reputation what it Is."
CASTE AMONG STUDENTS.
According to Professor Hartley's
views the policy of the university ex
tension will not be popular in the new
Yale. He says: "With university ex
tension Yale has little to do. This Is
due not so much to lack of sympathy
with the movement as to lack of time
one the part of the Instructors."
That the present system of secret so
cieties will not be seriously disturbed
Iby President Hadley Is believed. He
has placed himself on record In regard
to the senior societies as follows: "On
the whole the senior society choices aro
civen with conscientious fairness.
Mrs. Lily Heckert, of Bartlesville,
Cherokee Nat., I ml. Ty., writes :

Dr. R. V. Pierce U and for over thirty
years has been, chief consulting phvei

women have written to him describing

dvice he elves freely, have become well,

modest women write to Dr. Pierce and so
avoid the disagreeable questioning, ex
animations and local treatment co gener
ally insisted upon by physicians. Dr.
Pierce's medicines cure you in the pri

case is only one of thousands that have
been cured after the doctors failed.

There aro mistakes of omission, but
they aro as a rule bona fide mistakes
of judgment and not tho results of per
sonal unfriendliness or chicane."
Tho problem of retaining tho oid
democratic spirit at Yalo appeals to
President-elect Hadley as decidedly
grave. He says: "Today there are
differences between rich and poor which
no one can wholly despise, even though
he may respect the poor man more than
his llch companion. Each complication
of social life inside and outside of the
college creates a, reason for lcglttmato
expenditure of money, which prevents
the poor man from feeling an absolute
equality with the rich. Tho problem of
lesseninKcollego expenses is one of vital
Importance for tho futuro American
college life, and Is perhaps tho most
serious difficulty with which tho mem
bers of the Yale faculty have to con
tend." STRONGLY FAVORS ATHLETICS.
Himself a keen lover of every kind of
college athletics, and a participator In
the sports bicycling, golf, tennis, hunt
ing and fishing;, President Hadley has
sympathy for all branches of college
athletics. His views on tho general
subject are us follows:
"Tho development of college athletics
hus been of great service In counter
acting some of the dangerous tenden
cies of tho day. Open to criticism as
athletics may be for their unnecessary
expense, for tho betting which goes on
in conectlon with, them, and for the dis
torted views which they encourage as
to the relative Importance of different
things In life, they yet have a place In
education which Is of overwhelming
Importance.
"The physical training which they In
volve, good as It may be, Is but a small
part of the benefit achieved. The moral
training Is greater. Where scores of
men aro working hard for nthletlo
honor and hundreds more are Infected
by their spirit the moral force of such
an emulation Is not to bo despised.
Critics may object, and do object, that
athletic prowess Is unduly exalted ,and
that It Involves distortion of facts to
rate the best football player or best
oarsman higher than tho best scholar
or best debater. Put the critic Is not
wholly right In this. There Is a dispo
sition In the college world to recognize
in tho highest degree anything which
redoundu to the credit of the college.
Let a student write something which
brings honor to his college, whether In
science or literature, and there Is no
limit to tho recognition he receives
from his fellows. Let a football player
strive to win glory for himself Instead
of for his college, and his fellows havo
no use for him.
MORAL USES OF ATHLETICS.
"Athletics, If properly managed,
have still another moral advantage In
training the students to honor a non
commercial standard of success. In
these days, when the almighty dollar
counts for so much, this training Is of
first-rate Importance. Of course ath
letics may be sio managed as to be
worse than useless In this respect. The
least taint of professionalism, however
Hiignt, destroys the whole good; tho
growth of betting endangers It. Yale
has, by constant effort, kept clear of
professionalism, and much of her suc
cess in athletics has been due to this
fact. Retting is harder to deal with,
mid constitutes a real evil, but not onu
for which athletics Is so directly re
sponsible as many people assume."
Every Yale president previous to
Hadley has directed the unlversltv by
combining the functions of an executive
head, a collego pastor and an Instruc
tor. One of these functions will be
omitted by Yale's new president. He
will have no share In the pastoral work
of the college, and It is expected that a
new collego pastor will be appointed at
the opening of the next school year.
President Hadley will still retain most
of his work In economics, and will sur
round himself with an able corps of
uxei-uuve assistants, thus relieving him
of the loutlne duties of the presidency.
HADLEY'S FORCEFUL CHARAC
TER. Professor Hadley has been callej
the most nervous man on earth." His
appearance invariably gives the Im
pression of great embarrassment, but
it Is entirely mlsleadlng.As a matter
of fact. President Hadley is not in liio
least disturbed, even when ho appears
very much excited. He Is under a
high nervous tension continually, but
in his entire public career on the plat
form he has never given evidence of
lack of mental poise or of genuine
embarrassment. His originality In
handling the dry-as-dust problems of
economics and in nt'..5r.ntii.o- v,.
lucidly to his classes Is one of the prime
luLiuis in determining the rare ability
which led his friends of tho faculty
uuuL-i mummies ana alumni to make
such a stubborn and successful light
in his behalf with the corporation dur
ing the sharp election contest through
which Ynle has Just passed.
Professor Hadley went through the
public schools of New Haven, tho Hop.
kins Grammar school and Yale without
once noiuing any other position in his
class than the head. No end of stories,
some authentic, many otherwise, are
told of his precocity when a boy. He
learned pages of Latin and Greek by
reading them once or twice, and could,
It was said, repeat whole books of the
Iliad and Odyssey. It Is related that
he "was ieady to enter Yale when only
14 years of age, but that the college au
thorities regarded this as too young,
and ho remained at home .taking pri
vate courses in Sanscrit till old enough
to enter college.
While In Yale young Hadley took
practically every scholarship prize in
sight. A partial list follows: Wool
sey and Rilsted scholarships. Wlnthrop
prize for students best acquainted
with Green and Latin, Clark astro
nomical prize, the Ten Eyck prize for
composition and oratory and tho
Townsend prize for English. This
wide scope of prizes gives some Idea of
the variety of his attainments. When
he returned to Yale after a short course
of study in Europe he became a tutor
in German, and he interested himself
in the study of railroads. He becamo
an assoclato editor of the Railroad Ga
zette with Colonel H. G. Prout. Ho
has written twenty-nlno volumes,
practically on railroad and transporta
tion problems and economics.
POPULAR WITH THE MASSES.
Trofessor Hadley Is tho working
man's idol. As a friend of labor ho
has established a reputation which
would elect him governor on what
ever political ticket he consented to
run. He was appointed state labor
commissioner by Governor uenry B.
Harrison, Republican, in 1SS5. Pro
fessor Hadley had then voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, and his appointment
created some opposition. His labor re
port has been a model, which has since
been copied by more than half the
states In tho country. His last work,
his magnum opus, Is his economics,
"An Account of tho Relations Between
Private Property and Publlo Welfare."
This volume Is used as a text book
by many colleges.
Sunday-School Lesson for
BY
Secretary of
INTRODUCTION. From the time of
Hosea, B. C. 740, we go forward In our
studies nearly two centuries. Tho
northern kingdom of Israel was over
thrown by tho Assyrians and carried
Into captivity, B. C. 721, never to ro
turn, leaving tho southern kingdom on
probation for another century. Gradu
ally, however, the kings at Jerusalem
departed from the worship of Jehovah
and the nation grew weaker and weak
er, falling a prey nt length to neigh
boring nations. Nebuchadnezzar, king
of Babylon, captured the city and made
the ruler a vassal, B. C. COG, but as the
people grew restless and attempted re
volt, a series of campaigns waged
against them, resulted in a complete
overthrow B. C. GSG. Daniel, who was
of royal descent, was taken to Baby
lon nmong other noble youth, B. C. COt,
and trained for tho king's service. Llko
Joseph In earlier times he gained favor
and becamo ruler of the provinces and
chief over all tho wise men. In our
lesson today we shall learn out of his
own writings how he was templed ear
ly In his career, how he resisted, and
what resulted.
PURPOSED. It Is a critical time In
the life of a young man when lie leaves
home and goes among strangers whoso
habits and principles are unlike thoso
under which ho has been reared. Most
persons under such circumstances
break down and go to ruin. The sad
end of many In our time may serve ns
an illustrative warning. But Daniel
went to Babylon with a fixed purpose.
He suffered some things, because his
integrity was not Involved. Ho receiv
ed tho new name, Belteshazzar, given
to him by Nebuchadnezzar (verse 7).
He put on the apparel that belonged to
courtiers. He entered into the studies
appropriate to his prospective station.
But when it came to the item of food
and drink he resolved not to touch the
meat and wine that came from the
klng'H table (verse SV The reason for
this decision was not to be found in
any temperance sentiments, as some
havo claimed, but In the fact that these
things were previously offered to the
god of the land. To partake of them
was, therefore, the fame ns to confess
loyalty to that deity, which would bo
an act ot defilement, a renunciation of
Judaism (Dent., xxxII:3S-. In keeping
this good purpose Daniel showed much
discretion he gently explained to tho
prince of the eunuchs and asked to be
excused.
FEARED. It was greatly to Dan
iel s advantage that he had gained the
favor of the prince under whose care
he was placed. That had lesulted part
ly from his own disposition and de
portment, by which Intelligence, kind
liness and docility had been displayed
(verse 9). And yet the prince had a
duty which he dared not neglect. The
king's orders were very explicit and
any deviation fiom them would be se
veiely punished. Notwithstanding his
regaid for Daniel, and, in fact, be
cause of it to some extent, he feared
to grant the request lest the nnger of
the king might bring both Into trouble.
And ho explained all this to Daniel.
He feared that the change from the
prescribed diet would leave the Hebrew
youth in less favorable condition than
tho others. Probably the court phy
sicians had given Instructions that the
attendants might bo made physically
healthful and presentable. f as a re
sult of a different treatment the faces
should be paler and tho forms less
strong and attractive the king would
observe It and on Inquiry leain the
cause, and then he would put to death
the man who had dared to vary from
the regulations (verso 10).
For years Professor Hadley's courses
hae been the most popular In tho
Yale list. During the coming year 233
seniors and Juniors will take them.
An original work, planned and exe
cuted personally by Professor Hadley,
has been the elevation of Intercollegi
ate debating to a permanent place in
college life. Tho success of Yale teams
tho past few years Is duo principally to
his skillful training. He has coached
every successive Yalo team until tho
vanquished Harvard and Princeton de
baters complained that It was not Yalo
undergraduates but Professor Hadley
they had to meet.
A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE.
Professor Hadley's consciousness of
his own nervousness In public speaking
was made the subject of a clever anec
dote. While he was coaching the last
vale team for tho Harvard debate a
month ago ho was striving earnestly
to induce the Yalo men to give moro
attention to style, and he said sud
denly: "Consider me as the horrible example
of what you will bo If you don't pay
moro attention to style in public
speaking."
Rarely does Professor Hadley make
the remotest reference In his classroom
to his own work or honors. A notable
exception occurred the day before the
corporation meeting which choso him
for president. A paper had been read
to the senior class by a member on
"The Trans-Siberian Railway." When
he finished Professor Hadley sild:
"I feel a personal Interest In that
railroad. It should show 'this class
that tho czar of Russia Is, to some ex
tent, at least, a fellow Yale man. At
any rate, he has been listening to soma
Yalo teaching."
Professor Hadley then narrated mod
estly how tho czar had sent for the
Hadley text-book on railroads, had
becomo interested in it, had ordered it
translated Into tho Russian language
and used as a regular text-book for
required study In tho Russian uni
versities. Professor Hadley enjoys telling a
Joke on himself. Before a recent
meeting of the Connecticut State
Teachers' association he narrated this
story:
"A woman whoso sons were about to
enter Yalo was seeking all tho Infor
mation she could get about tho courses.
After questioning me closely she asked
me:
" 'What do you teach?'
" 'Political economy,' I responded,
" 'Well, I havo heard that economy
in cooking and things like that Is being
studied now, and I don't see why eco
nomy in politics shouldn't bo studied
Just tho same.' "
HIS VIEWS ON UNIVERSITIES.
Professor Hadley's general views on
the university question are regaxded as

TESTED. A new question was thus
raised. Is it true that tho diet of &
heathen king la more conducive to
health nnd strength, to manly vigor
and grace than the diet of a Hebrew
home? That question was one ot great
Importance. If answered In the nfllrm
atlve Danlel'B resolve and principles
must be abandoned. That Is tho way
temptation usually comes. Tho first
departure from a chosen course is upon
prudential grounds. If tho evil world
has something that will better qualify
tho young man for his placo ho gen
erally accepts It. With this question,
so Insidious and far-reaching, there
was another. If It bo so that the meat
and wine of the king's table glvo moro
strength, will God help the young man
who refrains from them on conscien
tious grounds? Or, may one trust in
God to bring the best results, when, In
the face of what tho evil associates
order, ho chooses because he wants to
be right? This was a moro critical
moment, therefore, to Daniel than the
first. But ho was equal to the new
trial. Conceding tho rightfulness of tho
pela made by the prince, he suggested
that the matter bo tested (verses 11-14).
He would cat pulse, a purely vegetable
diet, for ton days, and nt the end of
tho time comparison should be made
between him and thoso who used the
regulation diet. The proposal was ac
cepted. PROVED. The result at tho end of
the ten days was eminently satisfac
tory. The countenance of Daniel was
fairer and his flesh was greater than
all tho youth who nte at the king's
meat (verse 15). Melzar, the prince,
was highly giatlfied, and as he had but
one purpose, to train tho eunuchs for
the court, nnd this measure accom
plished that purpose, he removed the
food which Daniel rejected and gave
that which de desired (verso 16). What
did all this prove? Two answers will
bo given. Some will say, as some havo
said, that a vegetable diet Is prefer
able. Many volumes have been writ
ten to support that view, and organ
izations have been formed whose mem
bers pledge themselves to abstain
from all llesh and wine. Others will
reply that the choice made by Daniel
was an assertion of religious principle,
which secured God's blessing. There
are many who hold that bodily health
and strength and even beauty result
from spiritual soundness through the
direct operation of tho Holy Spirit.
Whichever ot these positions Is taken
Daniel was vindicated and sustained.
Either he had better knowledge of the
laws of health, or he had Divine assist
ance. In cither case he stood firm.
BLESSED. It appears that Daniel
was not alone in his resolution. Three
other Hebrew captives stood with him,
sharing his purposes and reaching the
same results. Whether God wrought
in their bodies to make their food most
profitable, as above suggested, It Is
certain that He wrought upon their
minds (verse 17). And it would cer
tainly not be more dlfllcult to do one
than the other. Their intellectual at
tainments under the Divine Influence
wero great, quite In harmony with
what was granted to Solomon, in
answer to prayer (1 Kings HI: 12), and
promised nlso oy tho apostle (James
I: u). "Knowledge and skill In all
learning and wisdom," conferred upon
Daniel nnd his associates, signified
scientific, political, and classical infor
mation, an ability to deal with all
secular matters. This would make
-ujoao3 am oj niqcniVA .uuoods uiouj
ment. Besides this Daniel (It does not
say the other three) "had understand
ing of visions nnd dreams." This
hade him a seer and prophet, a relig
ious teacher. Thus ho was prepared

of prime importance. Yale educational
leaders have diver?,1 widely in their
scheme for unifying all tho depart
ments. In one of his latest Interviews
rrofessor Hadley has expressed the be
lief that the coming American univer
sity would not be in the direction of
the federated system of colleges, as at
Oxford and Cambridge, but that Yale
would expand along three-fold lines
fiist, In the two lower classes, the pres
ent plan of recitation and text-books;
second, In tho upper years, the elective
Fystem, chiefly In lectures; and third In
the graduate departments, specialized
work of the students in t-inall groups
under Instructors who themselves act
under the highest university special
ists. Professor Hadley's views on tho sub
ject of college discipline are decidedly
different from thoso now In vogue at
tho university. He favors fewer in
quisitorial functions and the relegation
of moro offenses to the civil authorities.
INDEPENDrNT IN POLITICS.
The piofessnr is in politics an Inde
pendent, a McKInley supporter, not an
imperialist, but an advocate of a condi
tional expansion policy. He leans to
ward free trade. He Is a Congrega
tionalism with Congregational ancestry
which dates back to the regicides. Had
he been an ordained Congregational
clergyman he would have been tho
leading candidate for tho Yalo presi
dency In tho recent campaign from the
very first. He was, it Is said, advised,
years ago, to take clerical orders with
tho very idea in mind of thereby be
coming moro eligible for the Yale presi
dency If It became vacant. By declin
ing ho showed tho same consistency
and Independenco which has always
marked his career. Tho Yale presl-

COMMUNED. The time of their
preparation said to have been three
years (v5) passed away, during which
on a plain vegetable diet theso young
men grew strong, and under tho bless
ing of God they becamo wise, At last
with others, a considerable class, of
whom some wero natives, they were
brought before Nebuchadnezzar who
would Judge of their fitness for the
public service, (v. 18.) A kind of in
spection or examination of the whole
company was had. Even in thoso days
thero were civil service requirements.
Out of all so presented the four He
brews were pronounced superior. They
excelled physically and mentally and
attracted much attention by all who
were present. Tho king was so much
pleased with them that he detained
them after other young men had been
dismissed from his presence and com
muned with them, asking questions,
engaging In conversation, seeking to
learn the secret of their worth, and
to Judge how best ho might employ
them. This act was highly commend
able In this monarch, Indicating many
good qualities which rulers may well
copy. It speaks much for the captives
also that they should be so highly hon
ored, and marks them ns rare men,
APPROVED. The results of that
long consultation aro distinctly stated
It was found that in all matters ot
wisdom and understanding tho He
brews were ten times better than all
the magicians and astrologers in all
the realm, (v. 20.) No wonder the king
communed with such prodigies, drawn
on from one subject to another, each
new disclosure of their nbllltles mak
ing him eager to learn more, with a
final verdict of a most startling char
acter. The magicians and astrologers
were a professional class, who, after
tho usual preliminary training, had de
voted their lives to tho mastery of all
that was known on occult themes. Un
der the patronage and direction of tho
king they had spared no pains to In
vestigate the most profound and Intri
cate questions pertaining to human
life and Its Issues, questions with which
the best minds In all ages have been
engaged, often with much perplexity.
It was therefore very stiange that
young men, brought from a far coun
try, should surpass them in wisdom.
The fact Is not more a mark ot credit
to the Hebrews than to their captors
who thus recognized merit.
CONCLUSION. Our lesson is chiefly
instructive to young men. On leaving
homo they may well take Daniel as a
pattern. They are not safe unless they
have some principles to which they
stoadfastly adhere. They should re
member that the way to success, which
Is virtually the same as the way to ap
proval, does not require the surrender
of any good purpose. As a rule tho
world honors and trusts him who has
the courage to be and do what ho be
lieves to be right. He can look within
to an approving conscience and upward
to an approving God may confidently
expect the approval of his fellow men.
The lesson is also instructive to
parents. Back of Daniel wero father
and mother v, ho had trained him in the
law of Moses and In all the Institutions
of religion, obedient to the require
ments laid unon them, rnoni ti.7 a
son who comes to honor sheds lmperlsh-
uuie lustre upon the home In which
he was reared. There is no greater re
ward for any man than to see his own
boy resisting temptation and maintain
ing his purity.
dency came to him instead of his com
ing to it.
TROFKS.SORS FOR GENERATIONS.
Professor Hadley's home and family
Ufa has always been inspiiing. Ills
grandfather, Dr. James Hadley, was
professor of chemistry in Fairfield
Medical College, Herkimer, N. Y. He
was responsible for tho determination
of Asa Gray to study botany. James
Hadlev, Professor Arthur Hadley's
father, wrote the Greek grammar,
which has a world-wide reputation.
George Hadley, an uncle, was professor
In the Buffalo Medical college. Henry
n. iiauiey, another uncle, was profes
sor of Hebrt'w In Union Theological
Seminary. His mother, Anna Twining,
was a daughter of Stephen Twining,
steward of Yalo college. President
