Those ideas and Influences in our lives which we can consciously tiaee back at all are in the great majority of instances to b« traced to the Jew, the Greek, or the Roman; and the ordinary man, when he speaks of the nations of antiquity, has in mind specifically these three peoples—although, judged even by history of which we have record, theirs is a very modern antiquity indeed.Harry Maclnnia. who for the past eighteen months has been « member Of Troop l».

It is difficult for you in the Old World to appreciate the feelings of :t man who comes from a nation still in the making, to a country with an immemorial historic past; and especially is this the case when that country, with its ancient past behind It, yet looks with proud confidence into the future, and in the present shows a'.l the abounding vigor of lusty youth. Such is the case with Germany. More than a thousand years have passed sine, the Roman Empire of the WYst became in fact a German Empire. Throughout mediaeval times the Umpire and the 'Papacy were the two central features ill th« history of the Occident. With the Ottos and the Henry: began the slow rise of that Western lift which has shaped mod* vn Europe, and therefore ultimately the whole modern world. Their task was to or-1 iprnniae societj and to keep it from I crumbling to pieces. They were I t a.stle-buiblers. city-founders, roadmakers; they battled to bring order out "I the se.thing turbulence around them; and at the une time they first beat back heathendom and then slowly wrested from it Its possessions.

With the break-up of tin Karllng Empire came chaos once more, and a fresh Inrush of savagery; Vikings from the frozen North, and new hordes of outlandish riders from Asia. It was tin* early Emperors of Germany proper who quelled these barbarians; in their time Dane ami Norseman and Magyar became Christians, and most of the Slav peoples as well, so that Europe began to take on a shape which we can recognize today. Since then the centuries have rolled by, with strange alternations of fortune, now well-nigh bar/en, and again great with German achievement in arms and In government, in science and tinarts. The center of power shifted hither and thither within German lands; the great house of llohenzollern rose, the house* which has at at last seen Germany spring Into a commanding position in the very forefront among the nations of mankind."To this ancient land, with its glorious past ami splendid present, tc; this land of many memories and oi' eager hopes, I come from a young nation, which is by blood akin to, and yet different from, each of the great nations of Middle and Western Europe; which has inherited or acquired much from each, but is changing and developing every inheritance and acquisition into something new and strange. The German strain in our blood is large, for almost from the beginning there has been a large German element among the successive waves of newcomers whose children's children have been and are being Turfed into the American nation; and I1 myself trace my origin to that branch of the Low I Hitch .stock which raised Holland out of the North Sea. Moreover, we have taken from you, not Only much of the blood that runs through our veins, but much of the thought that shapes our minds. For generations American scholars have Hocked to your universities, and, thanks to the wise foresight of his Imperial Majesty the present Eton peror, the intimate and friendly connection between tlie two countries Is now in every way closer than it has ever been before. "Germany |s pre-eminently a country in which the world movement of today in all of its multitudinous aspects is plainly visible. The life of this University covers the period during which that movement ha* spread until it is felt throughout every continent; while its velocity has been constantly accelerating, so that the face of the world lias changed, qhd is now changing, as never before. It is therefore fit and appropriate here to speak on this subject.
