I accept the gift, of course, making very grateful acknowledgment. You will allow me, I hope, to place it on the walls of the Chapel. Up to this time the portrait of no one living has been there. Dr. Scott's portrait has now been added. If you will permit me to add this one I shall again be grateful.

I give you my warmest thanks for all that has been said and done for Rutgers in this latter time. The last ten years have been happy years. For the College has seemed to grow and the fellowship has been very close, and the friendships that have been formed are very dear. The words that have been spoken tonight, though undeserved, are very precious.

(The portrait was hung the next morning in the College collection in Kirkpatrick Chapel, near that of Dr. Austin Scott, lately President.)

Toastmaster FISKE: Professor Cook, in his lectures on chemistry, when his labors had been illuminating, at the end always said, with a broad smile: "The experiment is a success." I think we may say that this experiment of the Celebration of the 150th year of Rutgers has been a great success. But you will prove it, Brother Alumni, by marching forth tonight with the firm determination to back up our great President in raising that million dollar fund, which he has just started tonight.

Prelude

Invocation and the Lord's Prayer

Rev. W. H. S. DEMAREST, D.D., LL.D., President of the College Salutation

Anthem: "A Prayer of Thanksgiving," Folk Song of the Netherlands, Seventeenth Century

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing, cease them from distressing,
Sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine,
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side-the glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader in battle,

And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be.

Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;

Thy name be ever praised!-O Lord, make us free.

Gloria

Hymn: Ancient of Days, "O Holy Father, who hast led

Thy children"

O Holy Father, Who hast led Thy children
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,

Through seas dry-shod; through weary wastes bewildering;
To Thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.

O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,

To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.

O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-Giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase.
From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity, and peace.

O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that has crowned our day;
Pray we that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us alway.

Scripture Lesson

William Croswell Doane 1886

Tenor Solo: "How Lovely are Thy Dwellings"

Prof. HARRY N. LENDALL

Liddle

How lovely are Thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts! My soul longeth, yea fainteth, for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young, even Thine altars, O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God. O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness; for a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand.

Prayer

Rev. J. PRESTON SEARLE, D.D., President of the Faculty of the
New Brunswick Theological Seminary

Hymn: Adeste Fideles, "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord"

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

"Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.''
