to regret the great kindness that you have this day dune mo. ** (Applause) Dr. Atherton “I have still another gracious privi lege, in which I shall simply help to represent the Student body, and you will begin to appreciate wh.it I meant when 1 said this morning that we were trying to condense throe days of duty and enjoyment into one. “The Students as a body felt that they would not be properly repre sented, unless they could speak for themselves. They knew that the Hoard of Trustees had adopted resolu tions, trying to express their appre ciation to Mr. Carnegie and their deep affection, but they wished in some wav to try to express something for them selves and, by a voluntary movement of their own, absolutely without my own knowledge or suggestion, direct ly or indirectly* they began to confer among themselves and like counsel whether they might not filly at this time make some expression of appre ciation and of affectionate association with thisday, to Mrs. Carnegie. They have accordingly appointed one of their own number, Mr. X l '. J. Saunders, of the Senior class to represent them.” PRESENTATION OF LOVING CUP TO MRS. CARNEGIE Mr. Saunders spoke as follows “Ladies and Gentlemen: — “Possibly jealous of the part alloted to tneir Faculty and othei.s on this Dedication Day and not content to rest meiely as onlooker-, the Students of of The Pennsylvania State College wish to show, in some material way, their appreciation as sharers in the hcuelii* to be leaped from the gift of our benefactor. Nut wealthy in world ly goods, we cannot show our good will and delight on this occasion by hands heavy laden with rich and cosi ly gifts hut, as we lack in this, so nun'll the more do we wish to add to the spirit that marks our movement. We would have that spirit bespeak manliness, culture, until and courage, so that our meed of tribute, though small in material wmlh, mav bo largo as an expression of gratitude. “As a body of young men. eager for the possibilities of lite, we have stud ied Andrew Carnegie's lite; wo have learned of his start as a humble weav ers helper and telegraph messenger, from which position, by the strength of his indomitable coinage and per severance, he mse to the pedestal up on yvhich he stands today, a leader of men. His influence lias been felt in every part of our country. Our busi ness industries, in their development, have felt the touch of his hand. Vast, almost incomprehensible orga ni sta tions, have grown and lived under the stimulus of his keen brain and en during yvill. Our nation itself, a pot ent factor in civil and useful aits of the world, owes him a tribute for the pait he lias played in her indus trial growth. Having- attained his power, he sets aside the temptations to selfishness and personal comfort and gives to humanity a vast share of his time, resources and wealth. At the same time lie furnishes u*-, and every American, young and old, a brilliant example of geuei osily and lidclity to mankind. “In the triumph of the man,we know that his loving wile and helpmeet lias borne a part. We knew that her mind, hand and steadfast faith have had an influence in this work of human love and, as we stand hero today in this building, now our own, we know that it is a part ol her gilt. To you, Mrs. Carnegie, we present our tiilmte. On this, your first visit to our beloved col lege, we wish you to know the good feeling'and delight we have in your presence among u>. We want to place in a permanent form some mark of appreciation of the deep sense of gintitudc we have, as-the helpmeet of our benefactor. We ask you, there fore, to accept this Loving cup, lepre senting the appreciation, the thought fulness, the admiration and affection of the st mien Is of The Pennsylvania State Col.ego.” (Applause) MRs. CARNeGTE REPLIES. In response, Mrs. Carnegie spoke as follows: “My ambition in life is (o he the sil ent wife of my husband, the silent partner; to hold up his hands a- lar as 1 can and help him to do his wmk in the world; but out of the fulness of my heart I ain obliged to speak today and tell you how deepty I thank you fui this very gre.it and unexpected honor th.it you have confowetl upon me. I til ink you very warmly.” (Applause.) President Atherton: “I think it will be a pleasant thing fur the audience to know wii.it Mr. Saunders might have slated, if it had 'occurred to him .it the moment, that the loving cup was specially designed and specially made lor this occasion and has not a duplicate m the world; it cannot possibly be duplicated, ex cept i> v some unc w ho bull uws ut slea Is Hie design. “I must, in a single vvmd, express our thanks for wh.it is ihe first gift to the new Library on tin* part of one of our old friends. It is not quite the first, because wise of onrerer loyal sons, W. L. A fielder, of the class of 1899. whom a great many of vou know, pie-onted a full set ol the Free Lance, before the building was completed: hut this week I received a lettci tioiu ilic sou of oui first Treasurer,.saying that he should like to present, without the mention of his name,three volumcsoi packer: “Ladies and Gentlemen: “I take it for gianted that, while tills is ostensibly a presentation, it i*> real ly entirely a work of supererogation I have no doubt that all of you were present this morning' and. since I talked at that lime very much longer than I had expected to «.,<>, I am quite sure that you have heaul as much from me as you care to bear teday. “It is a great pleauie fur me to have been present at these exercises this af lei noon. It was .1 great gratifica lion to mo to see t lie heartfelt manner, llio earnestness of purpose, the sincere emotion with which your benefactor presented to you this magnificent building, and I am satisfied that in the years to corn..* there will he no bet ter and no greater memorial of this most generous gi *er than the building in which we meet this afternoon.” (Applause.)
