[UIIVKIUXTy] PREFACE HE following pages contain a plain narrative of the celebration of the Tercentenary festival of Trinity College, Dublin, from the first inception of the preparations in February, 1891, to the end of the festival itself on July 8th, 1892. It is believed that such a memoir will be acceptable to several classes of readers. Those who took an active part in the long prepara- tions for the event will be glad to see a record of the success which attended their labours ; guests who attended the several functions will not be unwilling to be reminded of the pleasure which they derived from them ; and alumni of our University who were unable to be present will welcome a connected history of an event in which they took a deep interest. vi PREFA CE. But not only to those now living will the present work, it is hoped, prove acceptable. It is compiled for those to come after — koX io-crofJuivoLcn irvdicrdai — and the Committee which shall have the management of our fourth centenary may find useful the experience of their predecessors of to-day. It would have been of great assistance to the Tercentenary Committee if they could have had the example of their predecessors in 1792 or 1794 to imitate. But whatever may have been the cause of the omission, the Bicentenary of Trinity College was not celebrated. It is not unlikely that the cause was the state of ferment and uneasiness in which Europe was plunged at that time. The Terror was reigning in France : the armies of the Allies were contending unsuccessfully against the Republican levies of Dumouriez : on the 21st of January, 1793, Louis XVI. was executed. If ever there was a time at which men's hearts were failing them for fear and for looking after those things which were coming on the earth, it was the time of our Bicentenary. Had Edmund Burke been invited to such a festival, he surely would have replied, ' Is this a time to make ceremonial speeches and receive complimentary addresses ? ' And what would the Bicentenary have been without Edmund Burke ? There is a record of the first centenary festival, however — an accurate, although a meagre, one. It is contained in the College Register for 1694, and has been printed both by Dr. Stubbs, in his ' History of Trinity College,' and by Dr. Mahaffy, in the ' Book of Trinity College.' It has been again reprinted PREFA CE. vii in this volume, as it could not, with propriety, have been omitted.* But it is useful rather for the purpose of contrast than comparison. The ceremonies lasted but one day. Nearly all the features that added lustre to our celebration were absent : there were no foreign visitors ; no congratulatory addresses from sister Universities ; no speeches from the greatest orators and thinkers of the day. Time and space still interposed their envious barriers to prevent the University student, the true heir of all the ages, from entering on his inheritance. If we could imagine a delegate setting out from Vienna in 1694 to attend the Centenary of the University of Dublin, his adven- tures on the journey might have made sufficient matter for a romance. Still the accounts which we do possess of the Centenary festival, though they tell of a ceremonial less impos- ing than ours, are not devoid of enthusiasm, and testify to a pride in the past and a confident hope for the future, which are remarkable, considering the comparative youth of the Uni- versity, and the small number of great men to whom it had given birth. Berkeley was then a boy of eight ; Swift, aged twenty-six, and at that time absent from Ireland, was unknown as an author; William Congreve, ex-scholar, aged twenty-three, was only writing his first comedy, 'The Old Bachelor' ; Farquhar had not yet entered College ; Parnell was a senior freshman. Among graduates of Trinity College who might be called eminent, perhaps none were more famous than Nahum Tate and Henry Dodwell : the former, with the laureate's bays still * See Appendix K. viii PREFA CE. green about his brows, had been selected by his proud Univer- sity to write the Centenary Ode; the latter had been ejected from his Oxford Professorship two years before for his refusal to acknowledge the Orange dynasty. But though the University could not point to many eminent alumni in 1694, the effect produced by the perusal of the records of the Centenary is a feeling that Trinity College believed it was fulfilling its mission to be the University of Ireland. The warm affection with which alumni of Old Trinity look back to their Alma Mater is well known. The approach of the Tercentenary was eagerly anticipated by our graduates all over the globe. In London, on the 17th of June, 1891, the nominal year of the Tercentenary, a banquet was given in the Middle Temple Hall in honour of the occasion. Lord Ashbourne, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was in the chair, and many of our most distinguished graduates resident in England were present. This feast takes precedence in point of time of all celebrations of the Tercentenary. In Australia a most influential committee was appointed, and arrangements were made and admirably carried out for a celebration of the Tercentenary in Melbourne concurrently with its celebration at home; and it is regretted that it is not within the scope of this work to include an account of the Australian celebration. Sermons were preached from many pulpits on the occasion, or on its approach, some of which the editor would gladly have included in the present volume if space had permitted. t t See especially two Sermons by the Ven. Arthur Gore, D.D., Archdeacon of PREFA CE. ix The plan adopted in these records has been to make the Tercentenary, as far as possible, speak for itself. The answers from guests and Universities ; the congratulatory addresses from learned bodies ; the addresses to the students ; the orations at the conferring of honorary degrees, and the speeches of dis- tinguished men : these are the very voices of the Tercentenary, and have been given as accurately as it was possible. The editor feels that much is owing to the Dublin newspapers, especially the Daily Express and Irish Times, for the space they devoted to, and the careful accounts they gave of, the various functions of the Tercentenary, and for the accurate reports they preserved of the speeches delivered, and that at a time when the general election seemed to demand all their space. Their reports of the speeches were in every instance sent to the speakers for correction, except where they had gone to the trouble of writing them and handing the manuscripts to the Secretaries. This was done by many of the speakers ; and only in three or four instances does the speech printed in these records fall short of being an adequate report of the speech actually delivered. That it is so in these cases is, of course, a subject for sincere regret, especially as it has befallen some of the most eloquent and brilliant addresses, which, owing to their rapid delivery, were least fully reported at the time, and of which the editor has failed to obtain an enlarged edition. The letters of reply from guests and from Universities, as Macclesfield, preached before the University of Dublin on the subject of the Ter- centenary. x PREFACE. well as the congratulatory addresses, are, with the other records of the festival, now deposited in the Library, where they may gratify the curious in future generations. The editor tenders his best thanks to Dr. Ingram, s.f.t.cd., for his most valuable aid in reading the proofs of this work ; to Professor Robert Atkinson, for special assistance in correct- ing misprints in speeches and addresses in foreign languages ; to Professor Cunningham and Dr. Bernard, for advice and information ; and to Mr. Alfred de Burgh, Assistant-Secretary to the Tercentenary Committee, for much painstaking labour and help.

HE first direct step towards celebrating the Tercen- tenary of Trinity College was taken in February, 1891. On the 12th of that month a conference took place in the Board Room between the Provost and Senior Fellows, three delegates elected by the Junior Fellows, and three delegates elected by the Professors. The chief subject discussed at this preliminary meeting was the year in which it would be most fitting to hold the cele- bration. The years 1891, 1892, 1893, and 1894 all had their advocates. Probably the first year would have been selected had it not been felt that the movement for the celebration had been set on foot too late to allow the necessary preparations for holding the Festival in 1 89 1. The year 1591 is the nominal date of the Foundation of the University; 1591 is exhibited on our Calendar, our medals, and our prizes ; and, no doubt, 1891 was the year at which the public generally expected that the celebration would take place. But the objection stated was felt to be fatal, and on the question being put to the vote 1891 had but one supporter. e 2 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The year i8g2 had much to recommend it. In the first place, 1892 was really three hundred years after 1591, old style. The University of Dublin was founded on the 3rd of March, 1591, but the Calendar was reformed in 1751, and the year, which had previously begun on March 25th, thenceforward began on the 1st of January. The effect of the reformation was to throw the first quarter of the year apparently a year in advance, and it resulted that 1892, not 1891, was the real, though not the apparent, Tercentenary of the Foundation. It was urged that there was ample time to have every- thing ready by Midsummer, 1892; and in the final result, a large majority of the Conference voted in favour of 1892. A few voices were raised for 1893; but the only argument urged in favour of this year was that it would give more time for pre- paration. To this it was replied that 1893 would, in fact, give too much time ; and that it would not be wise to keep the College and those interested in it in the excitement of preparation for so long a time as two years and a-half. Moreover, 1893 had no claims from any point of view to be regarded as the year of the Tercentenary. The year 1894, however, had claims to be so regarded. For, in the first place, 1594 was the year in which the College was first opened for the reception of students ; and, in the next place, the celebration of the Centenary was held in 1694.* The Conference, however, did not feel bound in any way by the precedent. It was urged that the public expectation would be disappointed if the cele- bration were so long deferred, and, although several members of the Conference at first supported 1894, in the end 1892 was selected by a practically unanimous vote. The year having been determined on, the Conference proceeded * There is no record of any celebration of the Bicentenary. It has been suggested that it was not the habit at that epoch to celebrate Bicentenaries. But the Shakspeare Bicentenary had been celebrated in 1764. It is more likely that the anxiety caused by the events happening both in Ireland and France put such ideas out of men's heads. INITIA TOR Y STEPS. 3 to constitute a General Tercentenary Committee,* co-opting several members of the University as members. This proceeding was ratified by the Board on the 15th of February, and a formal resolution was passed by it, constituting the Tercentenary Committee of the Provost and Senior Fellows, the Fellows and Professors elected as delegates to the Conference, and tlie co-opted members. The Committee having been once formed, the work proceeded rapidly. The week in which the celebration was to take place was discussed at the first meeting, held on February 17th, and it was decided to hold the celebration from Tuesday, the 5th, to Friday, the 8th of July, 1892, inclusive. This was not the only date proposed. Some members of the Committee thought July late, and wished for the week beginning the 27th of June. They urged that many German professors would be unable to come in July, being engaged at examinations in that month, and, as a matter of fact, this proved to be the case. The absence of many illustrious German scholars was due to their academic engagements, as was anticipated. It was admitted that in itself the earlier week would be the better date ; but the fact that our medical lectures and examinations would not terminate until the end of June finally determined the Committee to decide, by a narrow majority, in favour of the first week of July. It may be stated here that the date selected proved, save in the one respect already mentioned, and in one which could not be certainly predicted, to be perfectly satisfactory. There was no exodus from Dublin of either residents or students, as some feared would be the case, as is usual at the beginning of July, both classes remaining in full numbers for the Festival. The only thing which was over- looked in fixing the date was the absence from Dublin of the judges and members of the Bar, which would have been caused by their usual departure for the Summer Circuits on the 6th of July, * See Appendix A. 4 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. This objection was removed by the action of the judges them- selves, who postponed the departure of the Circuits until Friday, the 8th of July, thus permitting all members of the Bar to assist at a festival where their absence would have been severely felt. The circumstance that the general election for Parliament was taking place at the time of the celebration interfered to a small extent with the success of the festival, by causing the absence of a few distinguished men. It is a fact that a guess was hazarded by a member of the Committee, at its very first meeting, that this was likely to be the case, and the guess was unfortunately verified by the event. But the coincidence, though unlucky, could not have been more certainly predicted for July than for any other month in the year 1892. The first sketch of the programme of the Festival was laid before the Committee at its first meeting on February 17th. In its main features this first sketch corresponded with the _ °J e programme finally carried out, which will be fully Programme. . described later on. Some important additions indeed were afterwards made. For instance, the dramatic perform- ance in the Gaiety Theatre ; the addresses of the visitors to the students ; the cricket match against Cambridge : these attractive items did not find a place in the first outline. Another important change afterwards made was the transference of the inaugural service from the College Chapel to St. Patrick's Cathedral — the chapel would have been too small — and the procession from College to the Cathedral. And here it is proper to deplore the great loss and disappointment which befell the University. It a iT- ', °f * e -,T , was at fi rst arranged that the inaugural sermon Archbishop of York. ° ° should be preached by the most eloquent of the sons of Trinity College, the Most Rev. William Connor Magee, who, after filling the see of Peterborough for two-and-twenty years, had been created Archbishop of York at the beginning of the year. On INITIA TOR Y STEPS. 5 the 5th of May, 1891, he died of influenza, after a few days' illness, having held the Archbishopric barely four months. The most important act in the early stages of the preparations was the appointment of a Sub-Committee to consider what Univer- sities should be requested to send representatives Sub-Committee on tQ thiscoJ>us Deriensis et Rafihotensis S.

Indem ich der hohen Dubliner Universitat fur die iiberaus grosse, unverdiente Ehre, die sie mir durch ihre Einladung zur Theilnahme an der Feier ihres dreihun- dertjahrigen Bestehens enviesen hat, meinen herzlichsten, warmsten Dank abstatte, muss ich dieselbe durch Sie, hochgeehrter Herr, zu meinem tiefen Bedauern davon in Kenntniss setzen, dass ich ausser Stande sein werde der Einladung Folge zu leisten. Was mir dies unmoglich macht, ist mein hohes Alter— ich stehe gegen- wartig an der Granze des neunundsiebzigsten Lebensjahres— und noch mehr mein Gesundheitszustand, der mich geradezu zwingt den Sommer des nachsten Jahres zum Besuche eines Bades und Sanatoriums anzuwenden.

Gentlemen, The invitation from the Chancellor of the University of Dublin and the Provost of Trinity College to come to the celebration of the Tercentenary in July, gave me a very particular pleasure, and the honour was duly estimated. It was too probable from the beginning that circumstances of health would not permit my crossing the water, but, like a woman who receives an impossible offer of marriage rather late in life, I have dallied with a prospect which it was painful to give up, and dallied quite too long, so that now I have to decline with some sense of shame.

Sir, I feel very much honoured by the distinction the University of Dublin favoured me with, by inviting me to take part in the festive celebration of its Tercentenary, and I beg to express my sincerest thanks to my Lord Rosse, Prof. Salmon, and the Com- mittee. But in the first week of July, appointed for the Jubilee, it is impossible for a Professor in a German University to suspend his lectures of the Summer-term through a prolonged voyage ; and so it is with the utmost regret that I am obliged to renounce 30 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. the pleasure of availing myself of the kind invitation and of attending that festival meeting of illustrious men in honour of the University of Dublin, which, like a Pharus, beams forth through centuries the light of science in the Far West of Europe.

St. John's, Cambridge, December 14, i8qi. Dear Sir, I am very sorry to be obliged to decline the flattering invitation which Trinity College has addressed to me. For many years I have regarded the Dublin University as the bulwark of order and civilization in Ireland. Ussher's letters are among the very few of our countrymen's that rank with those of Scaliger orCasaubon. Twenty years ago I carried through the Press two Lives of Bedell — each at the time unpublished — and have transcripts of his letters ; unhappily the volume has never been completed. To Dr. Todd and his friend, Dr. Maitland, I was indebted more than forty years ago for encouragement in my study of Church history. And it is with pride and shame that I have welcomed the theological and classical works issuing from your Press of late years. Certainly we, in proportion to our numbers, do not keep pace with our daughter institution. I am glad to think that Cambridge will be worthily represented next July, and hope that the festival may be in every way a success. I am very truly your-s, JOHN E. B. MAYOR. ADALBERTUS MERX, D.D., d.

Dear Sir, I am very sorry that you were obliged to remind me to answer the most honouring invitation from the Chancellor of the University of Dublin and the Provost of Trinity College to the celebration of the Tercentenary, which I duly received in December last. It was such a surprise for me that your University, in sending out your invitations, should have thought of my person also, that I felt obliged not to be content with a mere acknowledgment of the receipt of your invitation, but to try whether I might not INVITATIONS TO INDIVIDUALS, AND SOME REPLIES. 43 find some better way of thanking you for the great honour bestowed on me by this personal invitation. Now, as I had the good luck of rediscovering some 15 years ago a most interesting little book, 'On the Twofold Invention of the Cross,' published more than 200 years ago in your country by Dudley Loftus, the great grandson of Primate Loftus the founder of Trinity College, I intended, and I still do so, to present to your University, at the time of your Tercentenary, some continued studies on this subject. As I was not sure, however, whether I should be able to finish these studies in proper time, and in a way which would satisfy me for such an occasion, I was reluctant as yet to speak about it, and thus I postponed from day to day the answer of your invitation. Even at the present moment I cannot say whether it will be possible for me to carry out the intention just mentioned. But already now I am almost sure, to my great regret, that I shall not be able personally to take part in the Tercentenary, which you are going to celebrate, and so I must request you to accept the expression of my heartiest thanks for the invitation, which I received, and of my best wishes for your Jubilee and your whole University. Can I finish in due time my contributions on the said subject — the Invention of the Holy Cross— I shall be glad to inscribe them to your University in thankful memory of your countryman, who first in Europe made known a most interesting contribution to this question, and who, of late, by one of your members, justly has been styled ' a really great, though almost forgotten scholar.' ' Meanwhile, believe me, dear Sir, Faithfully yours, E. NESTLE. Tubingen, 22. 6. 92. Sir, As I received some days ago a communication from the Earl and Countess of Rosse, addressed to the guests of your Jubilee, I am afraid that my letter did not come to your hands, in which I wrote that I was prevented from personally attending at your Jubilee, and I beg to give you once more notice of this. I must add that also the little book about the Invention of the Cross (first published by Dudley Loftus, the great-grandson of the founder of Trinity College), which I had hoped to publish a second time at this occasion, could not be got ready, because a Greek and Syriac manuscript, of which I hoped to make use, did not come into my hands in proper time. Thus I must be content by wishing you a most happy and successful festival. Sincerely yours, E. NESTLE. 'Rev. Professor Stokes, D.D., 'Royal Society of Antiquaries,' 1890, first quarter, t.

Gentlemen, Having dwelt for a year in the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I was slowly climbing to the highlands of health, when the latest foe of humanity laid hold of me. This mysterious Influenza took all strength out of me, and I was at my weakest when your invitation to attend the Tercentenary Celebration of Trinity College reached this house. It would be a pleasure and an honour rare in my experience to be present at your meeting ; and were it not that I have been so utterly smitten down, I should at once have shown my appreciation of the honour by the acceptance of the invitation. Greatly to my regret, I have no hope of being able to quit my own house for a long time to come. Most faithfully yours, JOHN TYNDALL.

FINAL ARRANGEMENTS— REVISED PROGRAMME— RECEPTION OF GUESTS —TERCENTENARY DIRECTORY— MINOR ARRANGEMENTS— CITY AND UNIVERSITY— TERCENTENARY MEDAL. HE arrangement of the Programme of the Festival constituted the main business of the General Com- mittee after the list of invitations had been decided on, and occupied them during the winter and spring of 1891-92. A very important act took place at the meeting of the General Committee on November 24. Nine sub- committees were then appointed, with a distinct province allotted to each. These were (1) a Reception Committee; (2) a Dinner Committee ; (3) a Garden Party Committee ; (4) a Commencements Committee, to make the proper arrangements for the ceremonies of conferring Honorary Degrees, and the presentation of Addresses ; (5) St. Patrick's Committee, to make proper arrangements for the Inau- gural Service ; (6) the College Races Committee, to co-operate with the Students for the holding of the Annual Athletic Sports ; (7) the Concert Committee ; (8) the Ball Committee ; (9) the House Committee, for the purpose of seeing that the College was properly set in order, 52 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. swept, and garnished for the occasion. To these a tenth Committee was subsequently added on December 9, namely, a Dramatic Com- mittee.* These Sub-Committees thenceforward relieved the General Committee of most of its work ; and the success of the celebration was largely due to the division of labour among these separate Sub-Committees, the members of which, without exception, exerted themselves indefatigably and zealously. The revised programme of the festival was adopted by the General Committee on the nth of March. Some additions and improvements were subsequently made in it, and the form which it ultimately assumed was as follows : — Tuesday, 51H July. 10 a.m. Reception of Guests and Delegates by the Provost in the Examination Hall, Trinity College. 11.30 a.m. Commemoration Service in St. Patrick's Cathedral, to which a procession will start (weather permitting) from the Examination Hall, Trinity College, at 11 o'clock. (Guests and Delegates will be expected to attend in their Academic Robes or Official Costume.) Cricket Match in the College Park — Cambridge v. Dublin University. 4 p.m. Garden Party in the Fellows' Garden, Trinity College. 9 p.m. Performance of Tercentenary Ode by the University Choral Society in the Leinster Hall. 10 p.m. Reception and Ball in the Mansion House. Wednesday, 6th July. 12 noon. The Conferring of Honorary Degrees in the Examination Hall, Trinity College. 3 p.m. Meeting in connexion with the Graduates' Memorial. Cricket Match in the College Park — Cambridge v. Dublin University. 3 p.m. Garden Party at the Viceregal Lodge. 6.45 p.m. Tercentenary Banquet in the Leinster Hall. ' See Appendix D. TERCENTENA R Y DIRECTOR Y 53 Thursday, 7TH July. 11 a.m. Procession in Academic Robes or Official Costume from the Examination Hall, Trinity College, to the Leinster Hall. 11.30 a.m. Presentation of Addresses by the Delegates in the Leinster Hall. 4 to 6 p.m. Garden Party at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham. 8 p.m. Dramatic Performance in the Gaiety Theatre. Friday, 8th July. 11 a.m. Addresses to the Students by certain of the University Guests in the Examination Hall, Trinity College. 12.30 p.m. College Races in the College Park. 10 p.m. University Ball in the Leinster Hall. The most difficult task set the Committee was that of making proper provision for the housing of the guests expected. For this purpose the Reception Committee was appointed. It contained Reception of among its members many of the most influential Guests. citizens of Dublin, both lay and clerical.* This Committee held frequent meetings, and notified to the public of Dublin through the press and by special circulars, that they were willing to receive offers of hospitality for the University guests from such as were willing to extend it. The response was liberal and large ; offers of hospitality came in every day. Some of the hosts chose their own guests, or expressed a preference for this or that one ; but the majority placed their accommodation at the absolute disposal of the Committee. All classes of our graduates, and not a few who had no connexion with the University, joined in willingness to do their part in entertaining. It would be invidious to make distinctions as to the zeal and liberality displayed by those who thus came forward. In the end the Committee found that the number of hosts who offered themselves was larger than they needed, and they were obliged to decline many kind offers. * See Appendix E. 54 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OE DUBLIN. Tercentenary Directory- tained afterwards. One of the most useful acts performed by the Reception Committee was the issuing of the Tercentenary Directory. This consisted, first, of a list of guests and hosts, giving the name of the guest, and that of the host at whose house he was to stay ; secondly, the same list reversed, the host's name first, with those of the guests he enter- The first edition of this Directory was published on May 4, and contained the first allocation of guests only. This alloca- tion was completed in a further edition. The final edition, published on June 23, contained a full Directory of the University guests, with clear directions as to all the functions of the Tercentenary, lists of those to whom Honorary Degrees were to be offered, with maps of Trinity College and its environs. From it we take the following list of guests and hosts, as finally arranged : — GUESTS. Acland, Prof. Sir H., Bart., k.cb., f.r.s. (Delegate, Univ. Oxford).

Among the numerous internal arrangements which contributed to the success of the ceremonies, probably the most important was the fitting up of the Entrance Hall as a Drawing-room. This Hall is the large room immediately over the main entrance, looking out towards College Green, one of our handsomest The Entrance and busiest streets, with the Bank of Ireland, Hall. formerly the Parliament House, on the right : a building which, in point of beauty, combined with originality of design, does not fear comparison with any structure in the world. The Entrance Hall was formerly known as the Natural History Museum ; but about ten years ago the stuffed birds, beasts, and reptiles were removed to the Medical School or to the Geological INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS. 67 Museum, and since that time the room has been used as an Exami- nation-room, supplemental to the chief Halls when they are not large enough for the numbers of Candidates. This Hall, which measures 60 feet by 45, was handsomely furnished as a Drawing- room and Writing-room ; and one of the gayest scenes presented at the festival was exhibited here, as groups of ladies and gentlemen from all parts of the world might be seen — some writing, others engaged in animated conversation, or gazing either on the academic throngs in the interior, or on the busy world outside in College Green. At the foot of the stairs below, a post-office was fitted up for the guests to receive their letters ; and opposite to the post-office a room for interpreters. Three new rooms, of great ease and comfort to those who live in or frequent Trinity College, were, by a happy chance, just finished in time for the Tercentenary, and may, perhaps, be reckoned among the preparations for the festival : the new Reading- Library room in the Library, and the Luncheon-room and and Common-room. Smoking-room attached to the Fellows' Common- room or Combination-room. The organ in the Examination Hall was played on for the first time for many years, at the Tercentenary. Visitors to Trinity College are often told that this organ was taken from one The old Organ. of the ships of the Spanish Armada : if so, a remark- able sarcina belli indeed. The authentic account is that it was built in Holland for a church in Spain, but was taken from the Spaniards in Vigo Bay, 1762, and repaired and enlarged in 1765. It was presented to the College by the second Duke of Ormonde.* It was now again repaired. A new stop was added, and under the hands of Sir Robert Stewart the old organ played its part at the Commencements, in a manner not unworthy of the occasion. * Calendar for 1893, p. 220. 68 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The Honorary Degree of LL.D. was conferred on Alderman Joseph Michael Meade, Lord Mayor of Dublin, on Shrove Tuesday, the ist of March, the eloquent and accomplished Bishop of The Lord Mayor Derry, the Right Rev. William Alexander, being made an LL.D. the only other recipient of the honour on that day. The conferring of this degree on the Lord Mayor at this date was plainly meant as an attempt to unite all classes, City and University, town and gown, in offering a combined harmonious welcome to the guests at the Tercentenary. The Uni- versity and City, as represented by the Corporation, have long differed widely in politics ; but not only was the occasion one at which political differences were willingly forgotten, but Mr. Meade had shown that, while a determined Nationalist, he maintained a loyal homage to her Majesty ; the toast of the Sovereign's health was duly honoured at his banquets ; and the University was glad to have the opportunity of showing that it could respect the views of a loyal antagonist in politics. The brief oration of the Public Orator introducing the Lord Mayor to the Senate, was an attempt to express the sentiments which prompted the conferring the degree, and may not be out of place in these records. " Placuit Senatui Universitatis trecentesimum natalem grato animo celebraturae, eunclem honorem summo urbis Magistratui deferre, quo doctrinam summam, scientiam altissimam, litteras felicissime cultas decorare solemus. Et bene contigit quod Josephus Meade is est quern propria merita commendent. Inter primos urbis mercatores locum diu obtinet : concilio patrum civicorum cum gravitate iterum praeest : hospitem publicum comiter ac benigne agit, multum in hac parte ab uxore, femina primaria ac venusta, adiutus. Multa urbs universitati debet, universitas urbi debet multa : proque fausto omine futurae inter eas concordiae hodiernam caerimoniam accipimus, semperque iunctas fore conndimus Reginam colendo, Fidei studendo, ea exse- quendo, quae e re sint huius magni imperii cuius haud minima pars Hibernici sumus." THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO THE PROVOST. 69 The Corporation of the City of Dublin were not backward in acknowledging the compliment which the University had paid to the Lord Mayor, and they gracefully responded to the conferring of the degree by offering the Honorary Freedom of the City to the Provost. The latter in his turn accepted the proffered honour ; and the Freedom was conferred on him on the 30th of June at a special meeting of the Corporation in the City Hall, attended with much eclat. The following account is taken, for the most part, from the Daily Express of July 1, 1892 : — A Special Meeting of the Corporation of Dublin was held yesterday to witness the affixing of the name of the Rev. George Salmon, D.D., F.R.S., Provost of Trinity College, to the Roll of 7 ***^Jw. c ^' Hon ° raf y Eur g esses > and to p iesent to him the Certificate of the Honorary Freedom of the City, conferred upon him by resolution of the 14th March, 1892. Alderman Meade, LL.D., the Lord Mayor, presided, and, addressing the Provost, said — It devolves on me now, in conformity with a unanimous vote of this Council, to present you with the Honorary Freedom of this ancient and famous city. 1 do so with feelings of pleasure, which are shared to the full by my brother members of the Town Council, and in which I am sure the citizens at large will sympathise. We are aware of the lustre you have reflected on our city and our country. Abstruse and remote from the common thoughts of men as are the problems with which you have to grapple, and the sciences which you have so amply enlarged, we can all appreciate the splendour and rarity of the mental gifts which have qualified you for these achievements, and the importance of the labours to which your life has been devoted. We know that a great scholar and thinker is as well worthy of public honour as a great soldier, or statesman, or poet, or a great mechanical inventor. In each and all of these classes of men — practical and speculative — Ireland has been rich ; and as long as she produces such men, Irishmen will be proud of their country, and claim for her a high intellectual place among the nations of the earth. In tendering you our Honorary Freedom, it is our desire to associate you in our thoughts with the illustrious university over which you so worthily preside. We know how many men of mark that noble institution has produced, 70 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN and continues to produce ; and we rejoice at the evidence which next week will furnish of the high opinion it has won from the most competent judges in every country where intellectual eminence is held in honour. In felicitating you on the happy completion of the Tercentenary of Trinity College, the harbinger, I hope, of a future still more prosperous and fruitful, I cannot fail to remember that the friendship between your College and this Corporation is not a thing of yesterday. Three hundred years ago the Mayor and Burgesses of this Corporation presented to your University the ground on which it stands. That ground was then a suburb — the words, 'Juxta Dublinum' figure in your original charter, and remained for a long time a true description ; but the city has flung around you her hospitable arms, and converted your outlying acres into a site which, for extent and convenience, is not equalled by any university site in the populous cities of Europe. That ground is now furnished with stately and commodious buildings, in which every department of education is fitly housed. But the surest and safest ground on which the University stands is the respect and esteem of her country ; and more splendid and permanent than buildings made with hands are the intellectual trophies raised by her sons. Of those trophies we shall hear next week from your English, American, and foreign visitors. Of your own contributions to them, I can only repeat the well-known verdict of the learned world, that they are signal and conspicuous, that in those recondite subjects on which you were engaged, your researches have rendered obsolete the works of your predecessors, pioneered the way into untravelled regions, and lit many a lamp at which other men, not in themselves inconsiderable, have kindled their secondary torches. I cannot conclude, sir, without gratefully adverting to the honour conferred on me as head of this Corporation by your University in enrolling me on the list of her Honorary Graduates. Among the favours bestowed on me during my life — and they were far beyond my deserts — there is none that has touched me more deeply than this. I take it as a proof of the good will on the part of your University to the city of which I am Chief Magistrate. That goodwill, sir, is reciprocated by this Corporation, as this ceremony, which is much more than a ceremony, attests. It gratifies, I think, any well disposed Irishman — every Irishman who is loyal to his country — to find that strong sympathy connects the Corporation which represents this capital with the University which represents so large a portion of Ireland's intellect. May the political questions that so often keep us apart have no power to abate our mutual respect and our wishes for each other's usefulness, prosperity, and fame. May the two Corporations, that of Dublin and that of Trinity College, be always able, as they are to-day, to stretch out to one another the right hand of fellow- ship across the brawling, turbid stream of politics. (Hear, hear.) That we are able to do so at this sharp and trying crisis of public affairs is due in no small measure to the universal appreciation by our fellow-citizens of your genius and your character. I have great pleasure now in presenting you with the certificate of your Honorary Ereedom, and invite you to sign your name on this roll. (Applause.) THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO THE PROVOST. 71 The Lord Mayor then took from a handsome silver-mounted Irish bog-oak casket the Certificate of the Honorary Freedom of the City, which he presented to the Provost, who then subscribed his name to the Roll of Burgesses. The PROVOST, in reply, said — My Lord Mayor and members of the Corporation, I was quite unprepared for the magnificent reception I have received from you now. When I received the announce- ment of the honour that has been done to me by the Corporation, I thought in the simplicity of my heart that I was to go up some day and find the Town Clerk at home and subscribe my name at the roll. I did not know then that I should have this public opportunity, at which I greatly rejoice, of thanking you in person for the honour you have done me, and of testifying how very much I feel it, both on my own account and also as representing the University. I am only sorry I was not prepared to make a speech on this occasion. For everything you said about myself I feel very grateful, and I think that if one is flattered beyond what one feels to be one's deserts, one is at least gratified by the kindly feeling shown by those who entertain so high an opinion of us. I feel I owe much more to the kindly feelings that exist between the Lord Mayor and Corporation and the institution over which I preside. The connexion between the two institutions, as the Lord Mayor has said, is one of long standing. (Hear, hear.) I am no historian, and I do not pretend to know exactly what and how many are the benefits the Corporation has conferred upon Trinity College ; but in the commemoration of benefactors which is used to this day, and which will be used on Tuesday next, foremost are the Lord Mayor and the Corporation of the city. (Hear, hear.) All these expressions of mutual respect which the Lord Mayor has used I heartily reciprocate. In making him an honorary member of our body — which is a very rare honour — while we are desirous of showing a friendly feeling to the Corporation, it was greatly added to by our desire to pay a personal compliment to one for whom we all entertain the greatest respect and goodwill, which is shared by every citizen. (Applause.) The Lord Mayor has alluded to political differences. I, too, say I think this, at first sight, might appear to be an odd time for such a meeting as this — a time when we are in the heart of a contested election, when political differences may be supposed to be of the very sharpest and fiercest. I think it is honourable to us all that we can meet to-day and feel that as citizens of the same country, for whose prosperity we are all most anxious, although we may some of us differ as to the best means of promoting it, we can all join in the bonds of mutual respect and, I can say, of private friendship. (Hear, hear). I thank you for the honour you have conferred on me personally and as representing the University. (Applause). ■j 2 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN The meeting was then formally adjourned, and the members of the Corporation and the visitors were entertained at luncheon by the Lord Mayor. A medal to commemorate the Tercentenary was struck by Mr. Edmund Johnson, of 84, Grafton-street. It represents, on the obverse, the busts of the two Queens, Elizabeth and Tercentenary Victoria, with the Inscription — AB ELIZABETHA Medal. A D victoriam. On the reverse are the arms of the College w T ith the inscription— COLL . SS . TRIN1TATIS . IVXTA . DVBLIN . CCC . ANNOS . FLORET . MDCCCXCII. CHAPTER V. FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS : RECEPTION OF GUESTS BY THE PROVOST- INAUGURAL SERVICE IN ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL— SERMON BY THE DEAN. HE weather was a subject of anxious concern to those interested in the festival. July is in Ireland a second April, and often bestows more tears than smiles upon us. It was no small relief therefore to find that the morning of the 4th opened fair, and that the glass foreboded nothing dire. There had been plenty of rain during the previous week. This was followed now by a cool- ness of the air and an absence of dust, and except for a few showers and a wind which was occasionally somewhat high, the weather during the four days of the festival was kind and favourable. A few guests arrived on Saturday and Sunday; but the great majority came on Monday, the 4th. Some came by the North Wall route up the Liffey ; but most selected the mail line to Kingstown. Those living at the next centenary will, no doubt, boast that they are better than their ancestors in most things ; but it is very doubtful 74 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. whether they will, even in a hundred years, have surpassed the splendid boats of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company. A very gay scene was presented by the 'Ireland' as she steamed majestically into Kingstown Harbour on the afternoon of the 4th of July, her decks thronged with our illustrious visitors. A deputation of the students in academic attire was waiting on the pier to receive them, and give them any information which they might need before pro- ceeding to their various quarters. The first item on the programme of the celebration was the recep- tion of the University Guests by the Provost, which ,v,f p_ ue . s s took place in the Examination Hall at 10 o'clock on Tuesday. Outside the Hall, the scene for some time before that hour was very stirring and full of excitement, and already gave promise of a brilliant and successful festival. A stream of flags hung from the Hall to the Campanile, and from the Campanile to the Chapel. A military band, that of the Sussex Regiment, was stationed in front of the Chapel, and performed a selection of music, in which our guests recognized the national airs of their various countries. The visitors, as they thronged from the gate towards the Hall, were intently watched by crowds of students. The effect produced by the variety of the Academic costumes which filled the quadrangle may be easily imagined. Amid the robes of many colours the semi-military dress of the German student-delegates attracted special attention. The Provost stood just within the entrance of the Hall and received the guests, who were introduced by Dr. Bernard, one of the Secretaries of the Committee. The reception lasted nearly an hour, and immediately afterwards the procession to St. Patrick's Cathedral was formed. A number of little girls, decked in white and blue, presented each of the delegates, as they issued from the gate, with a small nosegay of flowers. THE PROCESSION TO ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL. 75 The following was the order of the procession as set out in the printed programme : — t College Porters. I. — Students in order of College standing, Junior Freshmen leading.

Belhomme, Mr. L. Bulger, Mr. P. Carton, Mr. J. Devine, Mr. W. Dixon, Mr. C. H. Fleury, Mr. L. H. Geoghegan, Mr. F. N. Greer, Mr. W. S. Haughton, Mr. H. A. Hinkson, Mr. D. Jacovides, Mr. R. L. Keegan, Mr. G. Kingsmill, Mr. J. Eanigan, Mr. J. O. Murray, Mr. J. R. O'Connell, Mr. V. Perry, Mr. E. H. Townsend. The band of the Sussex Regiment preceded ; the band of the Corn- wall Regiment closed the procession. The route taken was by Grafton- street, St. Stephen's Green West, York-street, and Bishop-street, to the Cathedral. Traffic by vehicles had been suspended along the route by order of the Commissioner of the Police. It is estimated that there were about 1200 persons in the procession. It was watched by thousands of spectators, who greeted it with the most enthusiastic cheers and expressions of welcome, and who gazed with wonder at the quaint and various robes of those whom the four corners of the world had sent to do honour to the University. No military review could show such striking uniforms as this procession of the learned, however much the former might excel in regularity of march. The procession reached the Cathedral a few minutes after half-past eleven, the time fixed in the programme. It was Commemoration awaited by a large congregation, which completely St. Patrick' 's Cathedral, occupied all the seats which were not set aside for those taking part in the procession, for whom the nave and centre aisle had been reserved. The chancel was set apart for the Prelates, the Cathedral Clergy, and members of the Choir. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Earl of Zetland, K.P., wearing the collar and star of the Order of St. Patrick, was in the Viceregal pew. Those of the general public who had tickets of admission were in the transepts and side aisles. Sir Robert Stewart, Mus. Doc, and Mr. C. G. Marchant, Mus. Bac, who were over the music, presided at intervals at the organ. After the delegates had been conducted to their appointed seats, the Cathedral procession moved up the central aisle, the Choir singing as a processional hymn the Scottish version 80 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. of the Hundredth Psalm, ' All people that on earth do dwell.' The effect was very solemn and moving. All present were impressed by the grandeur of the scene. It was now apparent that the festival was going to be successful beyond the hopes even of those who had toiled hardest in preparing for it, one of whom assured the editor that, as he gazed on the Cathedral crowded with illustrious men, and realized that the labours of himself and his colleagues were at last going to be rewarded, he found it impossible to listen to the stately hymn without emotion. Following the Choir came the Minor Canons, the Rev. C. W. Fleury, M.A., and the Rev. F. W. Mervyn, M.A. ; the Treasurer's Vicar, the Rev. R. G. M. Webster ; the Succentor, the Rev. T. E. Winder, and the Dean's Vicar, the Rev. Sterling Tomlin- son, M.A. The members of the Chapter present were — The Very Rev. H. H. Dickinson, d.d., Precentor ; the Archdeacon of Dublin, the Archdeacon of Cork, the Rev. J. W. Stubbs, s.f.t.c.d., Treasurer, and the following Canons : the Rev. Thomas Twigg, M.A. ; the Rev. William B. Armstrong, M.A. ; the Rev. Alexander Leeper, D.D. ; the Rev. R. T. Smith, D.D. ; the Rev. Ralph Sadlier, D.D. ; the Rev. Thomas Lucas Scott, B.D. ; the Rev. Joseph F. Peacocke, D.D. ; the Rev. C. T. Ovenden, D.D. ; and the Rev. George Tottenham, M.A. Next followed the Bishops of Down, Tuam, Clogher, Kilmore, Ossory, Cork, Limerick, and Meath ; then the Archbishop of Dublin with his Chaplain, the Rev. R. Scriven, M.A. ; and then the Archbishop of Armagh, with his Chaplain, the Rev. J. B. Crozier, D.D. The Very Rev. Henry Jellett, the Dean, attended by his Verger, closed the procession. The choir and clergy having taken their places, the hymn, * O God, our help in ages past,' was sung, after which the Lord's Prayer was intoned by the choir. The opening sentences and responses having been intoned, two special Psalms were sung (144th and 145th). The Archbishop of Dublin read the Lesson (Proverbs viii.), after which the Te Deum was sung, according to Sir Robert P. Stewart's setting, in E flat. SERMON BY THE DEAN OF ST. PATRICK'S. 81 The Rev. Sterling Tomlinson, the Dean's Vicar, intoned the concluding prayers, which included the following collect, which is contained, among 'Prayers for the Use of Trinity College near Dublin,' in an Irish Prayer Book printed in the year a.d. 1721 : — O Lord God, the Resurrection and Life of them that believe, Who art always to be praised both in the Living and in the Dead, we give Thee thanks for the Most Serene Princess Elizabeth, our Most Illustrious Foundress ; for King James and King Charles, our Most Munificent Benefactors ; and for our present Sovereign, our Most Gracious Conservator and Benefactor ; for the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, together with his brethren the Aldermen, and the whole Assembly of the Citizens of Dublin, and all other Benefactors, through whose Bounty we are maintained for the Exercise of Piety and Increase of Learning ; humbly beseeching Thee to bless them, their Successors and Posterity, both with Temporal and Eternal rewards, and grant that we, employing these gifts to Thy Glory, may at length with them be brought to the Everlasting Glory of the Resurrection, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Very Rev. Henry Jellett, Dean of St Patrick's, preached the Sermon. He took as his text — Psalms, lxiii. 7 : Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings zvill I rejoice. The Psalmist had been looking back upon the events of his past life. With that retrospect before him, he looks onwards into the future. What shall its complexion be ? The past had not been without its troubles and dangers, but God had been his help. The future might be — probably would be — no less troubled, but the sheltering wings of the Almighty Father were stretched over him, and under their shadow he would be safe, nay, more than safe, he would be joyful. I have taken these words of the Psalmist as the motto of my address to you to-day, because the state of mind which they describe as being that of the Psalmist ought to be the state of our minds as we look back upon the past 300 years of our University, and look forward into its unknown future. There will be other times and places in the coming week to tell of the triumphs of the University and the great men whom she has sent out into the world, but for this one hour we would look back upon the past, not to see the traces of human footsteps, but of the working of Him whose footsteps are not known ; not to boast of what man has done or will do, but to lift our eyes to Him, and say, ' Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.' 82 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. This is not the first time that a procession of members of the University of Dublin has entered within the walls of St. Patrick's Cathedral. In the early days of its existence, before it possessed its present spacious halls, it was here that on special occasions its Commencements were held and its Degrees conferred. Whether this was done merely for the sake of the larger space afforded by the Cathedral, or whether there was supposed to be some connexion between it and the University, is not certain. It would not have been strange if the latter had been the true reason, for St. Patrick's was the seat of the first University established in Ireland. Nearly three hundred years before Elizabeth founded the present University of Dublin, Alexander de Bicknor, Archbishop of Dublin, obtained, in the year 1320, permission from the Pope to revive a scheme which his predecessor had sanctioned for the establishment of a University in Dublin. A University was in consequence established here at St. Patrick's. The Dean was appointed its first Chancellor, and within the walls of the Church, which then stood where this Cathedral now stands, its Degrees were conferred. I have little doubt that it is a surprise to many persons to hear that Ireland could boast of a University early in the fourteenth century. They probably imagine that Ireland could not have any need of a University or any students to avail themselves of its benefits at such an early period. The fact is, however, that if a country's need of or right to a University is to be determined by the number and efficiency of its schools and colleges, no country in Europe could claim one earlier than Ireland. Bede has told us that, in the middle of the seventh century, ' numbers of the Anglo-Saxons of all ranks resorted to Ireland for instruction ' ; and though it may seem strange that this remote island should have then surpassed, in the excellence of its schools of learning, nations which afterwards were so superior to it in civilization and culture, yet of the fact there can be no doubt. Its schools were filled with eager pupils, not only from England, but from all parts of Europe, and we can with difficulty accept the accounts which have come down to us both of the members of the schools and colleges then existing in Ireland, and of the number of students who attended them. The invasion of the Danes in the ninth century scattered many of the students of these colleges, but Ireland retained her literary reputation down to the twelfth century, though it gradually ceased to attract students from other countries. The establishment of De Bicknor's University failed to revive the old national zeal for learning, which had greatly died, and though it main- tained its existence for considerably more than a century, it came to an end, as did also another University which was established at Drogheda in 1465. In the early years of Elizabeth's reign, several attempts were made to restore the University at St. Patrick's, but without success, and finally a proposal was made to appropriate the revenues of St. Patrick's to the endowment of two Universities in Dublin. This proposal was defeated by the zealous opposition of the then Archbishop of Dublin — Archbishop Loftus — who afterwards manifested equal energy in the establishment of the present University, and became the first Provost. Through his means, a petition was presented to Queen Elizabeth for her Royal Charter to found a University ; and on the 13th of March, 159J, SERMON B Y THE DEA N OF ST. PA TRICK' S. 83 the first stone of the building was laid ; and on the 9th of January, 159J, the first students were received. The Charter of Elizabeth incorporated the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity as the ' Mother of a University,' and granted it the right to confer Degrees. I cannot follow the history of the University during the struggles of the first century of its existence. In its early youth it had to contend with many difficulties, in addition to those arising from its meagre endowment, some resulting from defects in its original constitution, some from internal disputes, and some from the frequently disturbed state of the country; but, by degrees, it triumphed over them, and though in the struggles of the great rebellion it was reduced to a very low condition both of property and discipline, and the Revolution witnessed the desecration of the chapel, and the conversion of the College buildings partly into a barrack for James's troops, and partly into a prison for some of the Protestant citizens of Dublin, yet the centenary commemoration in 1693, though of a much less imposing character than that which now commemorates its tercentenary, was sufficient to show that peace and order once more reigned within the University. There were many good and great men connected with the University during that first century of its existence — men such as Ussher, and Bedell, and Taylor — who did not suffer its salt to wholly lose its savour, and who, strong in reliance upon Divine help, never despaired of the success of the University, and never ceased to labour to secure it. And thus, from the small grain of seed sown in 1593, has grown a noble tree, the glorious University of to-day. In its chequered course it has seen the rise and fall of many institutions. It has witnessed the disappointment of many hopes, and the failure of many plans, cherished by men who thought they saw in them the means of the regeneration of their country. Thriving institutions have flourished for a time, and have perished, or been ruthlessly destroyed. Political organizations have risen and passed away — the very Church Establishment itself, to support and strengthen which was one of the main objects of its foundation, has ceased to exist ; but the University of Dublin, with Trinity College, its mother, has remained — the one thing of which English jealousy in the past never cared to deprive us ; the one thing on which Irish patriotism, however mistaken on other points, never ventured to lay destroying hands ; the one thing which, up to this, no English Minister, however pressed by the exigencies of party strife, has succeeded in despoiling. There was one feature in the constitution of the University which it is hard to account for, when we consider the time at which that constitution was framed. Founded, as the University was, before the passions excited by the Reformation had subsided, it would not have been strange if all had been excluded from a share in its benefits who refused to subscribe to the Articles of the Reformed Church. But no such subscription was demanded at matriculation. Attendance at College Chapel was, indeed, required of all students by the statutes, but the authorities often connived at the neglect of this duty by Roman Catholics and Nonconformists ; and 84 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. it not unfrequently happened that students of both these classes were to be found in the University, though the privilege of obtaining degrees was not granted to Roman Catholics till the year 1793; and thus, though during the three hundred years since the University was founded, Ireland has been too often the scene of bitter strife — the strife of races and religions and parties — there has ever been one spot where all who met could meet as brothers — where the Saxon could clasp the hand of the Celt, and the Churchman and Nonconformist and Roman Catholic could forget their differences. In the halls and courts of Trinity all met as children of the same Alma Mater, brothers, if in nothing else beside, at least in this, that all were animated with the same love for her, and all desired to sit as learners at her feet. Passing from the history of the University during the first two centuries of its existence, I must say something of some of the changes which have taken place during the last century. I refer to those changes which have been made in the direction of the removal of religious disabilities. It is just one hundred years since the repeal of the statute which had prevented Roman Catholics from taking degrees, and now every office in the University and in Trinity College, except those held by the Theological Professors and their assistants, is open to them, and to all others, no matter what may be the form of their belief. As the proposal thus to open the College and University to all came from the heads of Trinity College itself, I ought, perhaps, to say something upon the subject. For it may naturally be said to me — Why have you received and welcomed within these sacred courts the heads of a secularized University ? Why have you invited them to join in repeating the old creed in which the University as such no longer retains any belief ? I have no difficulty in answering questions such as these. When it is said that this College and University have been ' secularized,' it is supposed by many that they have broken not merely with the Church but with Christianity itself. But this is not the case. Trinity College has not ceased to be a religious institution. It still has, as of old, its Catechetical Lectures and Examinations for the junior students who are members of the Church of Ireland. It still has its Divinity School for candidates for the ministry. It still has, each morning and evening, the same service as of old in the chapel where former generations worshipped. What means this service here to-day ? Why is a week of festive joy inaugurated with a service of praise ? Why have the venerable heads of the University asked us to sing them the songs of Sion, and to raise to heaven the glorious Te Deum ? There is but one answer to these questions. The University has to the utmost conceded everything that could be demanded of her in the name of justice and toleration, but she has not divested herself of her Christian character, nor broken the union which existed between her and this Church. We cannot, perhaps, look forward 'into the future without the dread that the breach which, to some extent, exists already in kindred institutions between modern culture and Christianity may become wider and more extended. We cannot, perhaps, wholly banish the thought that, should the close of another century find this University SERMON BY THE DEAN OF ST. PATRICK'S. 85 still flourishing-, its fourth centenary may be commemorated without any service of prayer and praise ; but let us, at least, be thankful for the past, and joyful in the present. God has been our help, and in the shadow of His wings we can still rejoice. And if it should be His will that, in the final struggle between truth and error, truth should go into the battle stripped of the armour which we had thought so needful for her defence, let us not fear for the result. The issue of the contest is not uncertain. How long that contest may continue we know not, but we do know that truth shall triumph in the end. I address many who are strangers to Ireland — to whom it is practically an unknown country, or known only as a country which has presented a problem which one states- man after another has in vain endeavoured to solve. I am sure that to them the proceedings of this week will be a revelation. They will reveal to them a University very different from that which they expected to find here — very different from that of which they had formed an idea derived perhaps only from the slighting terms in which they may have heard it spoken of by persons who know nothing of its life and work. Of that life and work it is not my province to speak. It is not mine to rehearse the names which adorn the roll of her students and render illustrious the list of Provosts and Fellows and Professors who have left, or are leaving, the marks of their footsteps on the various paths of human learning. It is sufficient for me to say, that the 300 years which have passed over the University have left upon its brow no marks of failing strength, and that at no period of its existence did it give more proofs of intellectual vigour than it does at the present. If danger threatens, it is from without, and not from within — from external violence, and not from internal decay. Every true friend of Ireland who is not blinded by party feeling and a desire to win a party victory at any price must be conscious of this, that if there is in the land any institution in which all alike may feel national pride, that institution is the University of Dublin, and that to weaken its efficiency by crippling its resources would be to inflict upon Ireland a grievous hurt without any compensating advantage, while to alter its constitution and deliver it up bound into the hands of some who claim a right to the enjoyment of its prestige would be to mock them by offering them that which could not be transferred to them, and which, even if it could, they are not in a position to maintain. What shall be our prayer to-day for the University which so many of us love, which so many more will now learn — if it be for the first time — to admire and respect ? Shall it be that her name may be known more and more as the mother of many whose names shall be written in the book of Fame ? Shall it be that her sons who shall go forth from her shall ever carry with them a fond memory of the days they spent within her walls, and ever retain the enthusiasm for her which then filled their youthful hearts ? Yes, surely, all this, but something more beside. Shall we not also pray — and may God in his mercy hear us — that she shall ever be blessed with the Divine help, and ever rejoice in the shadow of the Almighty wings. 86 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. After the sermon the anthem ' I beheld and lo ! a great multitude,' composed by Blow, was performed ; the same anthem which had been performed at the celebration of the centenary during the lifetime of the composer, on the 9th of January, i6q£. The four solo singers were: Mr. John Hemsley {alto), Mr. W. S. North {tenor), Mr. Thomas Marchant {baritone), and Mr. Grattan Kelly [deep bass). After this anthem the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah was sung, and the service ended. CHAPTER VI. FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED : GARDEN PARTY AT TRINITY COLLEGE — CRICKET MATCH WITH CAMBRIDGE— DINNER AT TRINITY COLLEGE— CHORAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT — THE TERCENTENARY ODE — BALL AT THE MANSION HOUSE. FTER the conclusion of the Service at St. Patrick's, which terminated about one o'clock, the congrega- tion dispersed throughout the city without the order of a procession. The next item in the Programme was the Garden Party at Trinity College, which began at four o'clock. To this a very large number of guests had been invited to meet our illustrious visitors, and pro- bably not less than ten thousand persons were actually present. The Fellows' Garden was not large enough to hold so vast a number without overcrowding, and the whole grounds of the College were made use of to accommodate the throng. Large marquees for refresh- ment and shelter had been erected in the Fellows' Garden. Flags fluttered from the windows of the Library, and from the principal buildings. The halls, the Library, and Chapel were thrown open, and were visited by a continuous stream of spectators. The Library, 88 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. especially, was thronged, and the famous Book of Kells was of course the chief centre of attraction. Dr. Abbott, F.T.C.D., the Librarian, and his assistants, were most kind and attentive in showing the chief treasures of the Library. A large number of guests made their way to the College Park, where, for the first time in history, the cricketing Elevens of the Universities of Cambridge and Dublin were contending together. In the Fellows' Garden the Members of the University Choral Society, with Sir Robert Stewart as their conductor, performed a selection of vocal music which was listened to by a large audience. Besides this vocal concert, the bands of the ioth (Prince of Wales' Own) Royal Hussars and of the Royal Irish Constabulary performed selections of music. Shortly after five o'clock, the visitors began to flock towards the old mulberry tree in the Provost's Garden, where the ceremony of planting a new mulberry tree to commemorate the event of the Tercentenary was to take place. The old tree is said to surpass the College itself in antiquity. The ceremonial was dignified by the presence of the Earl of Zetland, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and the Countess of Zetland, with whom were many illustrious visitors, including the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, the Earl of Rosse, K.P., Viscount and Viscountess Wolseley, Lord Edward Cecil, and others. The new mulberry tree having been placed in its position, Dr. Haughton, S.F.T.C.D., addressed a few appropriate words to the assembly, in which he compared the University to the mulberry, which required, as well as sunshine and fair weather, the snows and winds of winter to cause it to strike its roots deep into the earth. • Dublin University,' he said, 'has had its years of adversity, but it has survived them. We have met with some indifference, too, but have survived that likewise. We have had evil times in Trinity College, when it re- quired even more than the wisdom of Dr. Salmon to guide it through its difficulties ; but we know that our Provost's wisdom is sufficient for our purpose to-day.' GA RDEN PARTY AT TRINITY COLLEGE. 89 Then the Members of the Choral Society chaunted a Latin Sapphic Ode, written for the occasion by Professor Tyrrell. It is as follows : — AD MORUM A Praepositi Filia in Hortis Academicis serendam A.d. in. Non. Quint. MDCCCXCII. Dextra te longa pia nocte pressa Sevit heredem viridis senectae, Quae viges annis vel adhuc trecentis, More, superstes. Nunc tibi, vivax genus ut propaget, Nata Salmonis teneram sororem Dat iubens furvis foliis gemellas Iungere frondes. Ne minus scitam, nova More, prolem Densa despectet tua semper umbra, Quam soror vidit tua quos perenni Crescere laude. The following is a translation by the Rev. George Wilkins, F.T.C.D. : Thee did a kindly hand long stilled in death, Plant here to reach an old age green and hale, Years full three hundred now have passed, but Thou Survivest all their tale. To thwart Death's envy of thy long-lived race A maiden doth a youthful sister give, Bidding her with thy dusky leaves to twine Her kindred leaves and live. Mayest Thou, new Tree, in dark green mantle clad, No less accomplished scions here survey From age to age, than those thy sister saw Crowned with renown for aye. 90 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. Dr. Haughton then presented Miss Salmon with a spade, with which she completed the planting of the tree, after which a choral ode was sung. The spade, which is of solid silver and very massive, has a haft of bog- oak, around which is entwined a branch of the mulberry tree, carved by Mr. Rogers, our now famous Irish carver. On the blade there is shown, in repousse, a design from 'The Book of Kells,' in the centre of which is the following inscription — 'Trinity College, Dublin. Tercentenary, 5 July, 1892 — Presented to Fanny Mary Salmon, on the occasion of her planting a mulberry tree in the Provost's Garden, by Samuel Haughton, in token of the affection in which he holds her father.' The College Arms and Miss Salmon's monogram are beauti- fully worked on two silver bands surrounding the handle. The guests departed about six o'clock, not a few, however, staying for Evensong in the College Chapel, where full Choral Service was performed every day during the Festival at six o'clock, under the direction of Dr. Mahaffy, f.t.c.d., Precentor. During the afternoon many visitors watched the Cricket Match with Cambridge. The University Cricket Club, which has existed more than fifty years, had never before met the Eleven of Cricket Match with v , r ,, _ .. , TT . . . , , , . . Cambridge. either of the English Universities, although it had often played against English Elevens of the highest class, both professional and amateur. Accordingly this match was looked forward to with the keenest interest, and the fixture of the match for the week of the Tercentenary festival gave special attraction to it. As our Eleven was known to be unusually strong, it was believed that they would give a good account of themselves. And this turned out to be the case : for although beaten, they played well, and at one time it seemed likely that they would win. And the Eleven which defeated them was one of the best teams which Cambridge had put in the field in recent years. Their Captain, Mr. F. S. Jackson, son of Mr. W. L. Jackson, M.P., late Chief Secretary for Ireland, who now plays for Yorkshire and England, was an especially strong player in CRICKET MATCH WITH CAMBRIDGE. 9' every department of the game. Without entering into the details of the match, it will be sufficient to remark that its main features were the stand made by the first five wickets of Dublin, and the collapse of the second five, in both innings : the fine batting of the Dublin Captain, Mr. Meldon, in the first, and of Mr. Browning in the second innings, and the two innings of Mr. Johnson. On the Cambridge side the play was confident, steady, and more evenly good. The score, analysis, and fall of wickets are appended for the benefit of historians and cricketers of the future. The match was watched by about ten thousand spectators, and was finished on Wednesday. University of Dublin. First Innings. F. H. Browning, b. Jackson, 14 20 49 97 E. R. Thompson, b. Jackson, . C. L.

DINNER AT TRINITY COLLEGE. 93 Besides the Tercentenary Banquet which was given in the Leinster Hall on Wednesday, the 6th July, dinners were given in the Dining Hall on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of the Dinner at Trinity , t-, tt n .. 1 i. * „ ., J week. Ihe Hall was not large enough to accom- modate all the guests at dinner at the same time : accordingly three dinner parties were given, in order that all the guests might be present at least once in our own Hall at dinner, and meet some of our Fellows, Professors, and Students. At this, the first* of the three, the Vice-Provost, the Rev. Joseph Carson, D.D., presided. On his right were the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry, K.G., the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge, Professor Schipper, of Vienna, the Bishop of Oxford. On his left were Lord Kelvin, Professor Oort of Leyden, the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, Sir Edward Harland, Pro- fessor Cremona, of Rome, Mr. Justice Mathew ; and there were also present : — Professor Knapp, Mr. Alma Tadema, Sir A. Croft, the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge ; Mr. Bywater, Dr. Mahaffy, Dr. Ingram, Professor Briggs, Sir John Banks, Professor de Ceuleneer, Professor d'Hondt, Professor Corson, Mr. Beare, Professor Gallee, Professor Parry, Dr. W. Robertson Smith, Mr. Panton, Mr. Emanuel, Mr. Fry, Mr. Macran, Professor Tiele, the Rev. T. T.

Macaulay. After dinner grace was chanted, and the Chairman proposed the health of Her Majesty the Queen. The toast was enthusiastically received, and the National Anthem was sung. The Rev. J. P. Mahaffy, f.t.c.d., who was received with applause, then said — Mr. Vice-Provost, my lords and gentlemen, I rise to propose a toast which we shall give every night during the feast ; for even so we cannot exhaust it, nor satisfy ourselves with repetition. I give the Universities of the woild (applause), and to-night more especially those of Continental Europe, as perhaps the most famous of all these famous seats of learning ; and I am gla'd, sir, that it falls to my lot to be the first to speak on this great topic, and to select among these great corporations those to whom I for one feel very special obligations. I adopt one DINNER A T TRINITY COLLEGE. 95 great principle — the geographical, which gives me a great longitudinal zone of nations all famous in the history of intellect ; and so I now join with my grand toast four nations whom we all respect and revere — Holland, Germany, Austria, and Italy (applause). The problem of fixing the order in which we call upon the various Universities of the world would indeed be one beyond my power, were it not that the ancient Phoenicians and Greeks, my daily friends, had long ago solved it, by establishing with rude impartiality a rule which overrides all questions of antiquity or dignity with a sort of stern fatalism. They fixed the order of the letters of the alpha- bet, and by this rule we decide many questions of priority and of etiquette which might otherwise be grave questions of diplomacy. Shall I speak to you of Austria, that great composite Empire, which has spread its culture over many diverse and brilliant nationalities, turbulent in their youth, and throbbing with the wine of vigorous life ? Shall I speak to you of Germany, who, coming late into the field, when other nations had already gained a foremost place, has forced her way to the front, and now holds her own in the van of the civilised world ? And then there is Holland, in whose little body there beats a great heart — the home of enterprise, not only commercial, but literary — the land of spiritual liberty, when her neighbours still groped in the gloom of bigotry and fanaticism. Latest in the alphabet comes Italy, the first in development — Italy, that lit again from the ashes of the past the bright light of learning, and held aloft the torch to the rest of wondering Europe. I couple, then, with the toast Professor Schipper, of Vienna ; Professor Knapp, of Strasburg; Professor Oort, of Leyden; and Professor Cremona, of Rome; and if I have a stronger feeling for any one of the great seats of learning which each of them repre- sents, it must naturally be for Leyden, where I was the honoured guest of the University at their tercentenary festival 17 years ago, a fact which has made me tremble for the last many months, when I thought of the impossibility of our rivalling the splendour of their hospitality. I ask them to respond in any language they may prefer, assured as I am that their utterances, however motley in sound, will be no Babel of confusion, but a Pentecost of many tongues moved by the same spirit. And though I dare not call this inspiration divine : is it not the highest and holiest of mortal feelings — the feeling of honest joy at the success of others, of respect for their work of brotherly kindness towards us as members of that one great family of men of letters and learning, which tends to make human nature larger, and loftier, and purer throughout the world ? (applause.) Professor Schipper, of Vienna, said- Having been invited to say a few words, in response to Professor Mahaffy's eloquent speech, on behalf of the University of Vienna, which I have the honour to represent, I cannot help saying, first, that I regret very much that there are only so few members of our University, and none of the other Austrian Universities present here. I should have 96 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. wished to see one of our famous professors of medicine likewise present, and speak in my place for our country ; let me say our great surgeon, Professor Billroth, or Professor Hering, of Prague, or Professor Schuchardt, of Graz, the well-known Romance and Celtic scholar. As it is, this distinguished assembly has to be satisfied with a few words from the Professor of English Philology in the University of Vienna, who has been selected, he has no doubt, to undertake the charge of representing that ancient seat of learning simply on account of the branch of study he has the honour of teaching there. Nevertheless, let me say that I gladly accepted the cordial invitation extended to me, as I have been a life-long admirer of this illustrious Empire and its widely-spread language, which, undoubtedly, is fast claiming the position of the universal means of communication throughout the world. A teacher of this language who, after having instructed his pupils in the different forms and epochs of the English language and literature, wishes to introduce them to a knowledge of what is best in its modern literature, is compelled from the very riches of that literature to make a selection of what is most characteristic. In making such a choice he very soon falls upon two names pre-eminently dear to English and Continental students as well — the names of Oliver Goldsmith and Thomas Moore. Both these poets are as well known on the Continent as Shakspere and Milton, and both have exercised a deep influence on its literature, especially that of Germany. Nobody requires to be reminded of the effect produced on the young Goethe by his reading the 'Vicar of Wakefield,' and how interwoven it is with the ' Idyll of Sesenheim.' But Moore has also his assured place in the hearts of all lovers of melody and poetry, especially in music-loving Austria and Germany. It is well known that ' Paradise and the Peri' makes the round of the world in Schumann's setting of Moore's text, and the Irish melodies have entered a new lease of popularity by the efforts of my old friend Kissner, Professor of English and Romance Philology, in Konigsberg. These two names — Goldsmith and Moore — will abundantly secure for all time the admiration and love of the whole German -speaking race, and will keep green forever the memory of the Green Isle (applause.) Poets, it is true, are not as a rule the representatives of learning, but they are the flower of it ; therefore, in recalling the memory of these world-renowned Irish poets, I trust I have done honour to this Irish seat of learning as well. May I offer, in conclusion, the sincerest con- gratulations of our country and its Universities on this occasion (applause.) Professor Knapp, of Strasburg, said — Gentlemen, taking the liberty to address you in English, I beg you to listen more to the sense of my short speech than to the problematic character of my pronunciation (laughter.) In the centre of Germany, in the small town called Fulda, foreigners used to visit the grave of St. Boniface, the missionary of Anglo-Saxon origin, who is celebrated as the great apostle of Germany, having converted my countrymen to the Christian faith. He was a great man indeed, and the Roman Catholic Church has many reasons to DINNER AT TRINITY COLLEGE. 97 honour his memory. But he was not the first to undertake this task. There were missionaries before him, less connected with the interests of the holy see of Rome, but of greater merit, perhaps, because they had to work on an unprepared soil. Their names are not forgotten with us. I speak of St. Kilian and St. Columban, heroes of the Gospel, too, in Upper Germany. To them we owe our entrance into the spiritual world of civilized nations. And whence did they come ? They arrived from Ireland. It is Ireland, of course, to which we are indebted for the first erection of the Cross. That is what every child in our country knows. And what every child in Germany reads at the age of ten years is a book written by an author of Irish origin, a book giving an account of Gulliver's travels through remote islands — (laughter and applause) — inhabited by giants and dwarfs, a book partially rendered enigmatic by allusions to Parliamentary parties and Princes of Wales of the eighteenth century, but yet a book of ever-living actuality as long as men like to be amused by satirists like Swift. It is written in English, but it is inspired by the spirit of this island. (Applause.) Another book of one of your countrymen is generally known in Germany, although you will not find it in the hands of our children, nor women either, but only in the library of learned men — I allude to Sterne's gospel of worldly taste, of highest refinement, wit, and humour. It is an account of a travel, too, but a travel through a country not inhabited by dwarfs or giants, but by Frenchmen only. This traveller cannot be ranged among the numerous class of idle travellers, or of inquisitive or splenetic travellers. His travels are altogether of such a different cast from any of his forerunners that I might insist upon a whole niche entirely to himself — I mean Laurence Sterne, the incomparable author of the ' Sentimental Journey through France and Italy.' (Applause.) I propose the health of all Irishmen that ever took part in propagating religion, in combating prejudices and superstition, and in observing and describing the finest movements of the human heart. (Applause.) Professor Oort, of Leyden, said — My lords and gentlemen, the mere fact of my rising from my chair in order to tender thanks on behalf of the delegates of the Dutch Universities may convince you how deeply I am impressed with the sincerity of your professions of welcome. For, gentlemen, having never uttered two words of English on any public occasion, I must feel assured that you will concede the solecisms and bad pronunciation I must needs be guilty of when I rise to address you. (Laughter.) If your reception was a most hearty one, we, in our turn, approach you in a spirit of well-meaning cordiality. Some weeks ago the Graphic published a large engraving, with inscriptions underneath, representing five men of different nationalities who had to climb a mountain somewhere in Japan. The Swiss, accustomed to climb mountains, progressed with giant strides, but, forcing his big pace, remained behind exhausted; the others toiled on until the Irishman gave in and stayed behind, so that his rivals were scandalized at his o 98 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. sluggishness. (Laughter.) So, on approaching the top the Englishman felt sure that his was the day, when, lo ! he saw the Irishman standing on the summit, lustily roaring 'Hurra for Ould Ireland!' (Laughter and applause.) At this moment I feel strongly reminded of this engraving, because it seems to me that the universities of different nations are in somewhat the same position as those men. Not in all points the engraving tells the truth. The mock-laziness imputed to the Irishman is as great a slander as the presumption of the Englishman, who makes sure of the crown before he has it. Who will be more inclined to doubt the author's perspicacity than a Dutchman, whose nationality is quite forgotten ? And yet we, too, will concur. But the end of the story is a prophecy bearing on the international race for the prize of knowledge. Fortunately there is some difference between scaling a mountain and scaling the steep of knowledge. Each of us, indeed, tries to give to the world most, but we do so helping each other, free from any desire of outstripping others. We are rivals ignorant of jealousy. The more, gentlemen of this Dublin University, you exert yourselves to obtain the prize, and the more successfully you do so, the more shall we rejoice (applause), though, believe me, we shall not make your work light when you try to eclipse us, for we, too, put all our soul into the work. (Applause.) Meanwhile, these days may be devoted, not to study, but to pleasurable enjoyment. We heartily rejoice in your happiness, and wish you all hail in your doings. (Applause.) I drink, gentlemen of Dublin to your welfare, and to the success of your festivities. Professor Cremona, of Rome, also responded, and the proceedings terminated. The Choral Society of the University of Dublin, which has been in existence for more than fifty years, never undertook so important or agreeable a duty as the performance of the Ter- „ -'•-,_, centenary Ode. The author of the poem is George Tercentenary Ode. J r o Francis Savage-Armstrong, Professor of English Literature in Queen's College, Cork, one of our most accomplished men of letters. The composer is Sir Robert Prescott Stewart, whose fame as a musician is world-wide. From such a conjunction great things were expected, and expectation was fully satisfied. The performance took place in the Leinster Hall, the largest in the city, which had most generously been placed at the disposal of the University for the week of the festival by its proprietor Mr. Michael Gunn. Perhaps no event of the Tercentenary celebrations was looked forward to with keener UNIVERSITY CHORAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT. 99 and more general public interest than this. The best musicians in Dublin generously volunteered their services, and helped to swell the chorus and orchestra, which were further augmented by eminent singers and instrumentalists from England. The leading solo parts were entrusted to Mrs. Hutchinson [soprano), Mr. Barton M'Guckin [tenor), and Mr. Bispham [baritone) ; and Mr. J. C. Culwick played with great skill on an ancient spinet the air by Byrd, found in Queen Eliza- beth's Virginal Book, which had been ingeniously interwoven with the music. Long before eight o'clock, the appointed hour, the vast hall was thronged in every part except that reserved for the Provost and the specially invited guests. The latter assembled in the foyer of the building, and, on the Provost's arrival, they were formed into a kind of processional order, and advanced up the centre of the hall. As they entered the whole audience rose, and cheers were given for the Provost, for the author of the Ode, and for the composer of the music. The Hall, which was beautifully decorated, and which was a perfect sea of colour owing to the varied tints of academic robes and ladies' dresses, must have contained about four thousand people. The orchestra numbered several hundreds. In accordance with custom the proceedings were preluded by the singing of the National Anthem, Mr. Barton M'Guckin leading. A loud roll upon the kettle-drums and side and bass drums preceded the opening chorus of the Ode. The poem traces the history of learning in Ireland from its legendary dawn, through the early Christian period inaugurated by St. Patrick (' the herdsman-slave ') and the Norman and succeeding eras, on to the present day ; makes allusion to the various attempts to found an University in Ireland ; dwells upon the splendours of the Elizabethan age, the birth-date of Trinity College ; celebrates the praises of great men whom the College has produced, the work accomplished by the University, and the labours and triumphs of its alumni ; and concludes with an apostrophe to the University on its day of Jubilee, and an exhortation to continue the struggle of ioo TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. intellect with fearless resolution and unconquerable hope. The music was remarkable for its fine choruses and its splendid orchestral colour- ing, for the rare skill with which it overcame the difficulties presented by a subject so purely intellectual, and for the wonderful freshness and fidelity with which it rendered in another art the varying shades of thought and feeling in the poem. Enthusiastic bursts of applause interrupted the performance time after time, and at the conclusion the composer and the author received an ovation. After the performance, the Choral Society presented Sir Robert Stewart with a baton mounted in gold, as an expression of their admi- ration of his great musical achievement, and as a memento of what was probably the most interesting and important event in the Society's history. The following is the text of the Ode : — I. i. The hallowed Light the Druid bore Through darkness to our lonely Isle. Locked in his heart his cryptic lore Beneath the ruined altar-pile Was quenched in dust. 'Mid Uladh's hills A clearer ray the Herdsman-Slave Allured, as by the limpid rills He mused above the Pagan's grave, Or, standing on the mountain-scaur, Beheld the Angel of his Dream Through sunlit flying storms afar Fade into heaven, a phantom gleam. His holier fire with sleepless hand, By shadowed lake, in sheltering woods, The Saints, while blood embathed their land, Preserved amid its solitudes ; Or often from their silence rose, And, strong in selfless ardour, sought The Saxon heaths, the Alpine snows, To preach the gentle rede the Celtic Herdsman taught. THE TERCENTENARY ODE. 101 1.2. The rugged Chief in richer cell The cresset hung by field or foam, Where hermit pure in peace might dwell, The exiled sage forget his home. On islets of the inland seas, On stormy cape, in valley lone, Or folded deep in verdant leas, The scattered haunts of Learning shone. But ev'n the Norman's victor-palm, By carven arch or soaring spire, Could ill secure the cloistral calm, And feebly guard the living fire. What larger flame De Bicknor fed The Royal Edwards fanned in vain. The lamp in Drogheda's dimness dead Not Sidney's touch revived again. And nowhere towered the sovran shrine, The central altar's temple wide, Till Loftus waved a wand divine, And here by Edar's Firth it rose in radiant pride. 1-3- In the Earth's exultant hour, When the age-long twilight, shifting, Showed, beneath its fringes lifting, Rosy seas and realms of endless flower ; When high on new-found isle or continent The roving seaman-warrior travel-spent First the cross of Europe planted ; When in rapt expectancy Men amid a world enchanted Seemed to wander fancy-free, — Along our life's horizon-bound So bright a promise broke from underground ; In that delicious dawn Here to her lasting home was Wisdom drawn, 103 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. Here her island-shrine was wrought, Whence evermore, with armed Night contending, — In act, in labouring thought One brilliance, — we our toil with hers unending Might mingle ; with her calm advance, The conquests of her widening reign, Her heavenward aims and ceaseless operance, We too might drink the hope and reap the gain ; Might feel the vast elation, share The peril of her conflict and the care, The triumph and the dole, All that doth exalt the human soul ; Arrayed in Learning's panoply, Refreshed from Truth's pellucid springs, Beneath her wide imperial wings Might prosper with her boundless destiny, Life and heavenly Freedom bearing Where her might and dauntless daring Strike the heart of Tyranny tame, Or over Grossness steals the glamour of her name. II. i. He who with heart unmoved can tread The peaceful Squares, the pictured Halls, Where first within his soul was shed The Light that heals where'er it falls, Where first he felt the sacred glow Of young ambition fire his breast, And watched a broadening Future grow More gorgeous than the burning west — The vision (ah, too soon to fade !) Of splendours, — honour, virtue, truth, — That o'er his life its magic laid, And godlike purpose waked in youth ; He who with languid pulse can view The scenes where first he quaffed the springs Of Hope and Knowledge, whence he drew The strength to soar with fearless wings, Is void as night, is cold as clay, Is dead in spirit, shrunk and sear. . Hail, hail, ye walls and portals grey With holiest memories wound, — we love you and revere ! THE TERCENTENARY ODE. 103 II. 2. Behold, the men are with us still Who here have reaped immortal fame ; Their words, their varying fancies, thrill Our hearts, their deeds our zeal inflame. Yes, Ussher's voice is in our ear, It whispers from our waving trees ; And hark ! blithe Congreve's laughter clear Is mingling with our harmonies ; And Farquhar's jests around us fly, Mementos of a merrier time ; And Swift is near, with piercing eye And mouth of gall, who stung with rhyme And crushed with iron clubs of prose ; And Berkeley, with his angel brow ; And Burke, who high as eagle rose ; And gentlest Goldsmith, jovial now As when he lipped his flute in France ; And he who sang of Erin's wrong In lays that listening Time entrance — Poet, priest, warrior, wit, smile on our jubilant throng. II. 3. Mother, since the lion-Queen Set thy name in jewelled story, How the beam of Learning's glory Still has rested on our Island green, — O, fair as are the ruddy morns that rise O'er her wild hills and flush her stormy skies ! How thy sons, thy faiths upholding, Victors, firm in peace or strife, Toil, thy gifts of Truth unfolding, Weave the web of human life ! Here in these shades, with straining sight Through many a fretful day and weary night Bent o'er the baffling page, How have they won the wealth of seer and sage 104 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. Wrung from gloom with Titan-power, Thou to the labouring mind thy lustres lending, Till, armed with all thy dower, From the lone chamber to the loud world wending, They've ploughed the homely field and sown The seed that bears a deathless grain ; Afar o'er belts of blustering ocean blown, In lands of scathing sun and ruthless rain, Have held the dusky hordes at bay, And tempered empire with a softer ray ; Or, strong in battle, borne Britain's streaming banner pierced and torn But trampled not by any foe ; Or, dauntless in a direr war, Have wrested spoil from earth and star ; Till now, three centuries passed of joy and woe, We, our hope and youth renewing, Here, the votive chaplet strewing, At thy feet our homage lay, Beneath a later Queen of happier, milder sway ! III. i. Guardian of Light, with pomp to day We celebrate thy splendour's birth. Lo, doomed in distant paths to stray, And whirled about the chequered earth, Back to thy peaceful fane we wend, We bear thee gifts of love and praise, Beneath thy sovran brows we bend, And high our echoing anthems raise. From east and west, where'er the fire Of Science, fenced by faithful hands, Abides, and hearts of men aspire, We greet the learned of other lands Who seek across the alien seas Our Island bright'ning 'mid her showers, And come to spread before thy knees Their garlands intertwined with ours ; While, close with these, a blithsome crowd, Thy young-eyed votaries move along, Breathe on the wind their raptures loud And mix their strains of joy with Age's sombrer song. THE TERCENTENARY ODE. 105 III. 2. Aurora of the conquering Sun Of Knowledge, scarer of the Night, How nobly has thy race been run, How fair the pageant of thy flight ! From every cloudy trammel freed, With dreams of boundless venture fraught, Billowing the shadows in thy speed, Thou risest, robed in gleaming Thought. The steeds of empyrean strain The wafture of thy hand obey, As, scattering fire from hoof and mane, They flash o'er peak and field and spray. Thick as the northern meteors sweep Adown the clear autumnal skies, Through airy dews o'er plain and steep Thy florets fall in rainbow-dyes, And where they rest take root and spread, Till all the barren ways are sweet, And all the desert -breezes shed Their honeyed blossom-breath around the wanderer's feet. HI. 3- Ever young and strong to dare, Darkness to thy will subduing, Thou, thy lustrous path pursuing, Onward movest, girt with all things rare — Radiant in victory, from thine orient gate Issuing with front to heaven and heart elate, And in gorgeous triumph guiding Through the deeps, a lucid throng, Round the car Phoebcean gliding, Forms ethereal. Art ; and Song ; And mild Religion hand-in-hand With fearless Reason, — loveliest of the band ; And, linked in circling train. She who delights to roam the starry main, Breaks the flesh's narrowing bond, And tracks the whirling suns amid their courses ; And She with potent wand Who tames to kindlier use Earth's deathful forces ; 106 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. And She who cleaves the crust and solves The secrets shut from mortal view ; And the witch Maid whose magic hand evolves From Nature's essence nature ever new ; And that all-gentle Ministress Who wars on pain and waits on weariness ; And She whose wreathen shell Rings of Latian lawn or Dorian dell ; And the strong Spirit whose subtle skill Controls the might of storms and takes The lightning prisoner, or breaks The cliff, or spans the flood, or moves the hill, — Where the effulgent wheels are glancing, O'er the shrunken mists advancing, Follow in thy kindling way Thee heavenward heralding the clear-eyed golden Day. IV. i. Our triumph is the victory Of Thought, the Mind's high festival. Ah, cold and bleak at times will be The mists of Doubt that round us fall ; And keen the wounds of him who wars With Ignorance, the eyeless foe That balks us with his girdling bars. Our task is great, our labour slow ; And Truth is oft a maddening gleam That mocks the eye in mazy flight ; And where the rays of promise teem Earth's Shadow moves across their light. The ways are rough, the night is near, The winds are loud in field and sky ; And Death awaits with levelled spear ; And wrecks of lives around us lie ; But blue-eyed Hope with bosom warm Beside us stands serenely fair, Lifts to the hills her snowy arm, And bids us upward scale and still the Vast to dare. THE TERCENTENARY ODE. IV. 2. Yes, frail of hand and faint of eye, Our lives the glimmer of a wing That glistens in the summer sky, Shines and is gone, — in vain we cling To Time, in vain we grasp the veil That hides the mystic Source of All. We strive ; the founts of being fail ; The terrors of the Deeps appal ; Amid the dim uncertain shows And symbols of the things that are We falter ; blinding vapour grows About our paths ; the pilot-star Of Faith is folded from our sight. Yet, still be ours the purpose pure, For us to seek the larger Light, To cope with darkness and endure. Arise, and following Her, whose face Is radiant with the roseate day, Explore the trackless realms of Space ; Hark to her rallying-cry, and fearlessly obey. IV. Forward ! Let the venturous Mind, Still its spectral foes assailing, Ridge on ridge of danger scaling, Front its battle ! What though, faint and blind, We stumble through the stifling wilderness, Though failure chill our hearts, though griefs oppress. Rich hath been the Spirit's treasure Won by those whose story told Makes the music of our pleasure Ringing through these cloisters old. Shall we not fight as they have fought And work as they with tireless brain have wrought ? O, follow still the fleet Faint glint of Truth where'er it leads your feet ; 107 108 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. Gather in with reverent toil The sheaves of Knowledge wheresoever scattered O'er whatsoever soil ; And dare the loneliest peak with tempest shattered For any gladdening glimpse it yields Of any unknown gulf or shore ; Purge the fair world of 111 through all its fields ; Uplift the Race in wisdom more and more ; With breast undaunted boldly range The ever-widening ways of ceaseless Change ; Thwart not the powers that roll Freedom's chariot thundering to the goal ; Nor fly the Spirit's pain ; nor crave The crutch of creeds foredone ; nor fear The New upon the Old to rear ; But Nature's nobler life from bondage save ; Till, to flawless beauty moulded, All her wealth of good unfolded 'Mid the beams of Liberty, Earth into Eden break and bloom from sea to sea ! The festivities of the first day terminated with a grand Ball given at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. Joseph Meade, LL.D., and the Lady Mayoress, Mrs. Meade. All „ the University guests, with the ladies who accom- panied them, were invited, and most of the Fellows and Professors of the University. The Ball was on a scale of great magnificence, and contributed very much to the enjoyment of our guests and the success of the festival. CHAPTER VII. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS — CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES — GRADUATES' MEMORIAL — GARDEN PARTY AT THE VICE-REGAL LODGE. NE of the most interesting ceremonies which take place when Universities celebrate their birth-years is the conferring of Honorary Degrees upon distin- guished men. Of late years we have known many such festivals, among them the Tercentenaries of Leyden and Edinburgh, the five-hundredth anniver- sary of the foundation of the University of Heidelberg, and the eight-hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the University of Bologna. At all of these a greater or lesser number of Honorary Degrees were bestowed on illustrious strangers. Following their example, the University of Dublin conferred Honorary Degrees upon seventy-one gentlemen who were eminent in different departments of knowledge. What was the proper number of Honorary Degrees to be conferred was a subject of much discussion within the University. The initiation of the grace by which the names of recipients of Honorary Degrees are i io TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. recommended to the Senate rests entirely with the Provost and Senior Fellows. On this occasion this body endeavoured to ascertain the general opinion of the University by consulting the various Professors, and listened willingly to the views of those who held strong opinions on the subject. Antagonistic views were held on the question. It was urged by some that the example of Leyden should be followed. Leyden had conferred only five Honorary Degrees at its great festival. Another party favoured the view that all the invited Guests and all the Delegates should receive Honorary Degrees. The advocates of this view urged that inasmuch as all the Guests were specially invited on account of their eminent merit, and as it might be supposed that all the Delegates nominated by Universities would be selected on the same grounds, the larger the number of such recipients the more would be extended the name and fame of the University. The advocates of the opposite view argued that a very large number of Degrees would tend to lower the estimation in which the Degree was held. In the end, a compromise was effected intermediate between these opposing views, and seventy-one were selected from the lists of invitations. The task of selection where all were worthy was very difficult, and many names were reserved for future Commencements which had as high a claim as any to the honour of a Tercentenary Degree. Of the seventy-one gentlemen on whom Degrees were actually conferred five were made Doctors of Laws, namely : — Leroy-Beaulieu, Paul, Member of the Institute ; Professor of Political Economy in the College of France. Holland, Thomas Erskine, Professor of International Law in the University of Oxford. Pollock, Sir Frederick, Bart., Professor of Common Law at the University of Oxford.

The scene in the Theatre, or Examination Hall, at the conferring of the Degrees, was very striking and impressive. At the top of the dais two semicircles of seats were occupied by the Fellows and Professors. The University Caput, consisting of the Earl of Rosse, Chancellor, the Rev. George Salmon, Provost, and the Rev. J. W. Barlow, Senior Master Non- Regent, sat at the table. To their right stood Dr. Haughton, the Senior Proctor, who called out the names of the recipients of the Degrees ; and opposite was Professor R. Y. Tyrrell, Regius Professor of Greek, who delivered the Latin oration on the occasion. The front part of the body of the Hall was reserved for the Delegates from Universities and recipients of Honorary Degrees. Behind these sat the invited Guests. The lower part of the Hall was occupied by members of the Senate. The gallery, which was now fitted for the first time with permanent benches, afforded accommo- dation for about eighty ladies. Sir Robert Stewart presided at the organ, and played appropriate pieces during the intervals between the speeches. Dr. R. Y. Tyrrell, f.t.c.d., Regius Professor of Greek, in the absence of Professor Palmer, Public Orator, who was unable to be present owing to the dangerous illness of two members of his family, delivered the following Latin address : — Nolo occasioni tarn faustae rem lugubrem ingerere, sed facere non possum quin hie requiram facundiam ingenitam et sales nativos Oratoris nostri Publici. Deus faxit emergat ex aegrimonia salvis illis qui in medullis ac visceribus eius haerent. Utinam ille adesset dignus cui hoc opus tam suave mandaretur. Tarn periucundum nobis quam honorificum officium praestitistis, viri clarissimi, quos tot tantaeque Universitates legaverunt laetitiae nostrae acceptos socios et laudis benevolentissimos propagatores. Cum hunc consessum intueor a quo paene nihil eruditi abest nihil exquisiti nihil laudati et vere laudandi, sive contemplor illos qui in litteris et artibus excolendis grandia sibi monumenta exegerunt, sive CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES. 115 quibus Natura ipsa tanquam sub iugum missa genubus minor arcana sua occultissima patefecit ac reddidit ; sive philosophos qui veri vias indagant ; sive pictores poetas histriones qui falsis fictisque rerum animos delectant ; video in omni parte viros quos palmam meritos ferre uno ore omnes fatentur. Inexhaustam mehercule contionandi materiam consideranti commodum mihi in mentem venit decantati illius apophthegmatis quo quis dicitur silvam prae arboribus videre non posse. Adsunt salutatrices Oxonia et Cantabrigia, gemini Angliae oculi, duae literarum arces, scientiae faces. Adsunt Academiae Londini et Dunelmi et Walliae et illae quibus nomen indidit eadem Regina (quam Deus salvam faciat !) in Hibernia Reginae et Regale, in Anglia Victoriae. Adest Caledonia, altrix terra exsuperantum virum. Manus trans mare amicissimas porrigunt Germania Gallia Italia, fontes illi venerandi doctrinae artiumque. Porrigit trans Oceanum America. A Sarmatis, ab Herculis columnis, ab Indis mittunt Europa Africa Asia gratulatores ; ab ultimis terrae partibus veniunt in communionem gaudii nostri Universitates toto orbe divisae, toto corde coniunctae. Hoc mihi solum scrupulum iniecit quod minutatim ita quemque virum ornare ut singulas praestantiae partes persequar vetant angusti temporis limites. Ipsa materiae ubertas hunc finem statuit. Viros singulares utinam singulos decorare licuisset, quod cum fieri non possit in uniuscuiusque generis laudatione mihi acquiescendum est. The Rev. Samuel Haughton, s.f.t.c.d., Senior Proctor, then called, to receive the Honorary Degree of Master in Engineering, Lord Armstrong. Sir Benjamin Baker. Professor TYRRELL delivered the following oration : — Praehonorabilis Cancellarie totaque Universitas libenter sane ad vos duco viros summates arti machinali deditos et in hac provincia plane principes. Quis nescit fulmina tormentorum illorum quibus n6 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. nomen dedit ille Armstrong} Quis aestuarium illud ingenti pontis mole iunctum ?

Horum sub manibus Daedaleis vera evadunt Velificatus Athos et quidquid Graecia mendax Audet in historia. The Chancellor having formally conferred the Degree, Lord Armstrong and Sir Benjamin Baker retired. The next to receive Degrees were a group of classical scholars, who were made Doctors of Letters. The list was as follows: — Blass, Friedrich, Kiel. Miiller, Friedrich Max, Oxford. Butcher, Samuel H., Edinburgh . Nettleship, Henry, Oxford. Bywater, Ingram, Oxford. Peile, John, Vice-Chancellor, Cambridge Gomperz, Theodor, Vienna. Ramsay, George G., Glasgow. Holden, Rev. Hubert Ashton, Cam- Reid, J. S., Cambridge . bridge and London . Sandys, J. E., Cambridge.

Professor Tyrrell, addressing these personages, said — Antiquitatis Graecae et Romanae admiratio cognitio tractatio perpetua silvestrem animum exuere homines praecipue docent et ad summum usum cultumque vitae producunt. Haec res praecipue in omni libero populo maximeque in pacatis tranquillisque civitatibus semper floruit, semper iusto dominatu regnavit. Illorum qui hie adstant virorum in explicandis exemplaribus illis antiquis quanta vis sit et ubertas, quantum lumen et acumen in emendandis, in imitandis quanta ars et elegantia — haec omnia si persequi explicatius nunc aggrediar, vereor ne videar doctos edocere velle.

Dr. Haughton next called the following (who were classed under the heading of Theologians, Historians, Oriental Scholars, Metaphy- sicians, English Scholars, and Men of Letters), also to receive the Degree of Doctor of Letters : — Creighton, Right Rev. Mandell, Bishop Skeat, Rev. Walter William, Cam- of Peterborough. bridge. Driver, Rev. Samuel Rolles, Oxford. Smith, Rev. William Robertson, Cam- Drummond, Rev. James, Oxford. bridge.

Martineau, Rev. James, London. Thayer, Rev. Joseph Henry, Cambridge, Masson, David, Edinburgh. U. S. A. Moore, Rev. Edward, Oxford. Vambery, Arminius, Buda-Pesth. Professor Tyrrell delivered the following address : — In hosce viros egregios, Praehonorabilis Cancellarie totaque Uni- versitas, cadere arbitror paene omnia ilia quae de litterarum antiquarum cultoribus iam praedicavi. Studiorum viam eamdem affectant, sed studia alii alia ornant. Alii rebus divinis facem praeferunt, alii vel litterarum nostratium origines indagant, vel ipsi illas litteras libris exquisitis ditant, alii papyris avaris abditos thesauros extorquent, alii linguas Orientales exponendas vel historiam conscribendam cum omnium laude suscipiunt. Aliis denique cordi est rerum cognoscere causas, et Favorini illius vestigiis insistere qui grande hoc praeconium de Mente fecit : Nil Hominem praeter magni tenet Orbis, et in se Nil magni Mentem praeter Homo ipse suam. 1 1 8 TER CENTENA RY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. Three gentlemen classed as artists were the next to be called before the Caput to receive the Degree of Doctor of Letters ; and, as the three were well known, each was very cordially greeted ; but to Mr. Henry Irving fell the greater share of the plaudits. The other two artists who received the Degree were Mr. Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Sir Frederic Leighton, Bart. Professor Tyrrell spoke as follows — Salutavimus eos qui doctrinae ipsos fontes adierunt et qui mentis humanae penetralia rimati divinas rationes hominibus commendave- runt. Nunc eos accipiamus qui vitae hodiernae deliciis voluptatibusque inserviunt. Adstant alter Apelles alter Parrhasius Leighton et Alma- Tadema ; hie cuius arte reviviscit nobis orbis antiquus novisque se deliciis induit ; ille coloribus Sollers nunc hominem ponere nunc deum. Sed quid dico f Non solum pictorem insignem Academiae Regali praepositum sed quemvis hominem attulit ad nos oratorem, sculptorem, poetam, fidicinem. Paullum severae Musa Tragoediae Desit theatris. Paullum requirat Lyceum illud Londinense histrionum principem dum nostra laurea dignus sane donetur. Nostis omnes quam singular ingenio quam nova arte quam spectabili existimatione ad tantum fas- tigium escenderit Henricus Irving. Hoc tamen libet in memoriam vobis revocare, hanc Academiam primam, vel certe in primis, agnovisse eius inter Tragoedos principatum. Numquam, quod memini, magis fervebat Theatrum Regale quam cum ille Hamletem agens omnium animos et oculos rapuit. Nunc iterum cum eadem alacritate salutantium nostrum Aesopum nostrum Roscium coneurrat dextra sinistrae. CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES. iiq The Degree of Doctor of Music was next conferred on Mr. Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, of London. Professor Tyrrell said — Ad salutandum hominem modos musicos componendi tam peritum ipsius artem adeo, et Musicam virginem caelestem ut caelo descendat rogo atque oro. (Organ.) The Degree of Doctor of Science was next conferred on twenty-four eminent men. The first group consisted of Anatomists, Physiologists, Botanists, Zoologists, and Geologists. The following were the recipients of the honour — Bonney, Rev. Thomas George, Cambridge. Kollmann, Julius, Bale. Burdon-Sanderson, J., Oxford. Macalister, Alexander, Cambridge. Dallinger, Rev. William Henry, London . Richet, Charles, Paris. Foster, Michael, Cambridge . Turner, Sir William, Edinburgh . Geikie, Sir Archibald, London. Waldeyer, Wilhelm, Berlin. Humphry, Sir George Murray, Cambridge . Professor Tyrrell said — Ut fornix pulcra geminis pilis sic duabus scientiis subtilibus Anatomia et Physiologia tota Ars Medica innititur. Sed his duabus adiuvandis et ornandis praesto sunt quasi promptae ancillae vel sorores bene morigerae tres sollertes scientiae quae Crystallorum, Herbarum, Animantium cognitioni se dicant et dedunt. Harum artium et scientiarum ipsa decora, ipsa lumina, ipsos flores duco ad vos novi Doctoratus purpura decorandos, quam felicissime auspi- cantur. The same Degree was conferred on the following Chemists and Physicists — Gladstone, John Hall, London. Thomson, Joseph John, Cambridge. Liveing, George Downing, Cambridge. Thorpe, Thomas Edward, London. Rayleigh, Lord, Cambridge and Londo?i . Tilden, William Augustus. Birmingham. 120 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The following was the oration :— Artes Chemicae et Physicae paene in nostra memoria in auctus immensos progressae sunt vel potius prosiluerunt. In Astronomiae fines irruptione facta arcana vel ipsis Astronomis abstrusa detexerunt. Paene moribundus Comtius ille questus est nihil nos ullo tempore de sole et stellis praeter motus scituros esse. Vix mortem obierat cum spectroscopium ipsa ignium caelestium elementa et ipsam concretionem nobis patefecit, quam cum explicasset — rem ad id temporis penitus absconditam et plane desperatam — etiam de rnotibus nonnihil addocuit. The following Mathematicians next received the Degree : — Cremona, Luigi, Rome. Gordan, Paul A., Erlangen. Glaisher, James Whitbread Lee, Cam- Routh, Edward John, Cambridge, bridge. The Acting Public Orator said — Mathematicae cultores insignes ad vos duco. Mixta cum pavore mihi verecundia subest hanc vim excogitandi hanc notionis immensi- tatem contemplanti. Maris et terrae numeroque carentis harenae Mensores, qui Stellas in trutinam iaciunt et solem ipsum ad aequum pondus examinant, quo modulo aequem, ego qui litteris antiquis deditus Mathematicae vix ad limen primum adii ? Quid agam ? Quo me vertam ? Heia ! Animum recipio. Ad Graecam linguam provoco. O infinitas linguae Graecae opes, per quas etiam vobis, Geometrae, spero me memet approbaturum, cum commendem fontem unde fluxerit commentationibus vestris tarn commoda notatiuncularum copia. The Astronomers who received the Degree of Doctor of Science were : — Darwin, George H., Cambridge. Newcomb, Simon, Washington. Roberts, Isaac, Crowborough , Sussex. CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREES. 121 Introducing these gentlemen, Professor Tyrrell said — Astronomi eximii quos nunc ad vos duco alii siderum cursus et motus numeris persequendo et positus ac spatia dimetiendo, alii caelum ipsum spectando, considerando, observitando omnes optime de scientia meriti sunt. Praeclaro sane studio se dederunt et splendidis poetae verbis non indigno : Felices animae quibus haec cognoscere primis Inque domos superas scandere cura fuit ! Credibile est illos pariter vitiisque locisque Altius humanis exseruisse caput. Admovere oculis distantia sidera nostris, Aetheraque ingenio supposuere suo. Sic petitur caelum. The Degree of Doctor of Medicine was then conferred on the following gentlemen : — Billings, John Shaw, Washington. Hutchinson, Jonathan, London. Bryant, Thomas, Pres. R.C.S. Stewart, Thomas Grainger, Pres. R. C. P. Clark, Sir Andrew, Bart., Pres. R.C.P. Edinburgh. Gusserow, Adolf, Berlin. Professor Tyrrell said — Ad Doctoratum Medicinae accipiendum praesto sunt viri fama omnes super aethera noti. Utinam omnes laudibus idoneis efferre vacaret. Sed Hippocratem ilium, huius artis saluberrimae et vene- randissimae paene auctorem, videor mihi videre adstantem et admo- nentem iucundo hoc munere esse supersedendum, brevem enim esse vttam, longam artem. The Degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on the following : — Beaulieu-Leroy, Paul, Paris. Wagner, Adolf, Berlin. Holland, Thomas Erskine, Oxford. Walker, Gen. Francis Amasa, Mass., Pollock, Sir Frederick, Bart., London. U.S.A. Professor Tyrrell said — Gradum doctoratus in legibus, qui olim apud nos longe latius patebat, nunc ad ornandos homines juris peritos et scientiae illi gravi 122 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. deditos quam nonnulli lugubrem temere dicunt repositum conservamus. In his studiis viros qui omnium consensu familiam ducunt libenter vobis in conspectum propono. Professor Tyrrell then delivered the following concluding oration : — Nunc, viri illustres qui in Album nostrum nomina vestra honora- tissima relaturi estis, hoc tantum mihi restat ut nostrae Academiae gratuler tantis opibus hodie ditatae, et vos horter ut laetae rei laeti adsitis. Meministis sine dubio nomen quondam inditum esse huic Academiae Sorori Tacitae. Sit nunc tacita, sit loquax, sit qualis- cunque ; saltern hoc fausto die, cum tarn electum gratulantium chorum sui honoris causa confluxisse videt, ut Latonae apud Virgilium sic nunc illius Tacitum pertentant gaudia pectus. Gratum opus explicem poetae verbis : Tantum est : valete, bene rem gerite, et vincite Virtute vera, quod fecistis antidhac. (Applause.) At the close of the ceremony of conferring the Degrees, the students assembled in the vacant space lying between the Examination Hall and the Dining Hall, and cheered the new Members of the University as they passed out of Mr. Miller's office, where they entered their names in the College Register. Mr. Henry Irving, Litt. D., was chaired in triumph, amid a scene of great excitement, to the Dining Hall steps, where, in response to clamorous appeals for a speech, he said — It is an unspeakable delight to me to be here amongst you once again. It was you who first gave me the informal Degree sixteen years ago, which you have made a formal Degree to-day by electing me as a Member of your great University. I speak on behalf of all my brethren — on behalf of. all my fellow-workers, when I say that they feel very deeply the great and distinguished honour which you GRADUATES' MEMORIAL. ^3 have conferred upon one of their calling to-day. I shall long re r member this day, and I shall long remember you, and I hope to see you all again very soon. (Cheers.) My regret is that I am not able to stop with you until to-morrow night. Nothing could have given me greater delight than to remain with you, but my duties and engagements oblige me to go back to England. I am sure you will have very great success. You are very good actors. (Laughter and cheers.) You have been studying and preparing with great pains for to-morrow night, and without study and preparation you cannot get on in the world. You young fellows know that. (Cheers and laughter.) You are acorns in the forest of learning — I am not now speaking of Botany Bay (laughter) — and as you advance in life it will be for you to show what Irishmen can do. (Cheers.) I thank you all for the patient hearing you have given me, and I shall ever remember this day, and I shall ever remember you with gratitude and affection. (Cheers.) During the preparations for the celebration of the Tercentenary, a project had been set on foot for marking the event by a permanent Memorial Building. This movement had taken Mem^ai a Meeting. its rise chiefl y amon S external Graduates, and was neither encouraged nor discouraged by the authorities of the University, who felt that such a movement should be spontaneous. Dr. Mahaffy was, of all the Fellows, the one most impressed by the importance of the question, and who most earnestly co-operated with those external Graduates who had taken the chief part in starting the scheme. A Committee had been formed, and Treasurers had been appointed, and although it was doubtful, as it still is, what is the exact form which the Graduates' Memorial will ultimately assume, a considerable sum of money had been subscribed or promised for the project before the Tercentenary week.* A Meeting * For a List of Subscribers, see Appendix F. 124 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. to further the project was held in the Examination Hall at 3 o'clock, and was largely attended. The Earl of Rosse, Chancellor of the University, was in the Chair ; and among those present was the venerable Primate. The Chairman introduced the subject in the following words : — The object of this meeting is to report progress as to the efforts that have been made to raise funds towards the Graduates' Memorial. Dr. Mahaffy will make a brief state- ment as to what has been done up to the present time. On the occasion of the previous meeting at which I presided a full explanation was given as to the scheme, and it is not now, I think, necessary to go further into the details of that scheme. The Rev. J. P. Mahaffy, f.t.c.d., said— The subscriptions have been gradually coming in, not indeed so quickly as I should hope or like, but still they amount to ^6500 (applause), and almost every day we have additional sums coming to hand. I beg to point out to you that the interest of this money, of which more than ^4000 has already been paid, is now ample to support all the expenses of the movement in the way of printing and postage, so that every pound now given will go strictly and completely, twenty shillings of it, to this now great movement (applause). We are therefore now in no great hurry to proceed until we know exactly how much we are going to get, and we have good reason to believe that it will be a much larger sum than we have. We have had negotiations with the Board of Trinity College, and the members of that Board have consented to give us a site within the walls of the College. You will ask me where that site is to be. I answer, ' that will depend upon the money you subscribe ' ^hear, hear) . It is necessary if we build a new building inside the College walls that it should be of the most solid and handsome kind, and you must subscribe handsomely for that purpose, for we shall be all unwilling to see anything cheap or poor within the walls of the College. At the last meeting we had here, many members came with rather contemptuous feelings towards the whole thing, but I am glad to think that ' those who came to scoff remained to pay ' (laughter). There is only one point which seems to require a little explanation. It is felt by a good many graduates that some sort of pledge was given, or some understanding was arrived at with them, that if they subscribed five guineas, no matter where they lived they would become perfect members of the Union. In the first place, we had no power to make any such arrangement. We only set forth what we hoped to do. And in the second place, it was expressly stated by the Board of Trinity College that members resident within a short distance of Dublin must pay a larger subscription than those GRADUATES' MEMORIAL. 125 living far away, for two reasons— first, we do not want our reading rooms crowded with Dublin men, and secondly, because men residing near the rooms will use them a great deal more than men residing far away. We were obliged, then, after consultation with the Board, to make this regulation, and it was one of the conditions upon which the Board granted the site. It is an essential part of the scheme now, and I hope nobody will feel that we have done anything wrong in making the arrangement. The Ven. T. Bedford-Jones, ll.d., Archdeacon of Kingston, Diocese of Ontario, Canada, said — My Lord Chancellor, my lords, and gentlemen, I have laid on me the agreeable duty of briefly proposing the first resolution, which I am sure you will carry with all good feeling. It is a high honour and privilege to find myself once more in this old Hall, with its mingled reminiscences of pleasure and pain, after forty years since my last Examination here, coming as a Delegate to the Tercentenary celebration. During my thirty years life as a Missionary in Canada, my love for my Alma Mater has seemed to be intensified with the 3000 miles distance. Indeed it is hard to realize the growing affection for old Trinity which is felt by her sons in remote lands at their firesides. I presume this resolution has been placed in my hands because I live far off in the greatest dependency of the British Empire, and what its extent is you may see in this Government map which I am commissioned to present to the College Library. (A fine mounted map of Canada was displayed at the foot of the dais.) In this great country, reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific — the Dominion of Canada — are many graduates of this University ; among them a most distinguished Gold Medallist, my own bishop, Dr. Travers Lewis, the Lord Bishop of Ontario (cheers). I have the honour to be his Chaplain and the Archdeacon of his diocese situated in Eastern Ontario. Natu- rally we have a good many graduates of Trinity College in these parts, and now and then we meet and talk with grateful feelings of the dear old University in which we received our education (cheers). We fight again, as it were, our old battles, our boyish freaks and escapades, discuss our successes and failures, and revive memories of peculiarities of examiners and the old Senior Fellows, as well as the College porters (cheers). Representing to-day the one religious or Church University of Upper Canada, now the Province of Ontario — Trinity College, Toronto (cheers) — which I assure you is no insignificant building, I find myself a Delegate in a University, and at a time, when history seems repeating itself. Three hundred years ago the very illustrious Queen Elizabeth founded the University of Dublin at the request of the learned and eminent prelate, the great Archbishop Ussher (cheers), and 260 years afterwards, in the reign of our equally illustrious sovereign, Queen Victoria (cheers), and at the request of a very heroic old prelate, Dr. John Strachan, Bishop of Toronto, a Royal Charter was given to the new Canadian Trinity College, founded almost on the same lines as the old 1 26 TERCENTENA RY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. Trinity College of Dublin (cheers). Strange to say there has been a disestablishment and disendowment of the Church in Canada somewhat similar to that which has befallen the Church of Ireland, both occurring in the present reign, and the immediate outcome of this event in Canada was the founding of Trinity College, Toronto, designed and endowed to maintain the principle of religious truth, being an essential element of the Higher Education. Three hundred years ago this University was founded with the same object under Queen Elizabeth. In 1852 Trinity College, Toronto, was founded as a University under Queen Victoria for a similar purpose. With the Church dis- established and disendowed in Canada as in Ireland, Trinity, Toronto, has to live upon the support given her by, as she lives in the hearts of, her children, as I believe Trinity, Dublin, still lives and will continue to live for ever in the hearts of those who are the alumni of so venerable and dear an Alma Mater (cheers). To-day we have met to consider what is to be at least one substantial and tangible result of this great Ter- centenary Celebration (hear, hear). The proposed building, called the Graduates' Memorial, will, I trust, be erected to represent the feelings and affection of many graduates sharing the rejoicing of this event, an event to be for ever memorable in the history of Trinity College, Dublin. And for myself I am most willing— and I am sure I may speak for all Trinity men in the Dominion of Canada, we shall be most willing to do anything in our power — to promote the success of what is clearly a great necessity here. It is something which should have been long before this in existence. Looking back to my Undergraduate days over forty years ago, I happened to belong to two or three College societies which I hope still exist and flourish— the Philosophical, the Theological, and the great Historical Society — and others of less dignity, all constantly shifted about from one room to another, without any certain place of habita- tion. There should be, and there should have been, a building which would have been available for the meetings of these various excellent institutions which constitute a very important feature in the instruction, properly so termed, the mental and moral furnish- ing of the students of the University (cheers). And this proposed building will be a kind of home to those who, when the University has been left, will, in after years, regard it as a substantial bond of union and good-fellowship. The meetings held in its rooms will never be forgotten, and a visit to the University, whenever possible, will find, in such a building as projected, a pleasant reading and club room within, and not without, the walls of the College. I do hope earnestly that this generation of graduates will leave to their Alma Mater such a lasting and splendid memorial as an evidence of their loyalty and their affection for Trinity College. Therefore I move with great pleasure : ' That the Graduates of the University of Dublin desire to express their warm thanks to the Board of Trinity College for the assent accorded by them to the establishment of a Dublin University Union within the precincts of Trinity College as the Graduates' Memorial of the Tercentenary of the College and the University ' (cheers). GRADUATES' MEMORIAL. 127 The Hon. W. H. Rattigan, ll.d., Vice -Chancellor of the Punjab University, India, seconded the motion. He said — On behalf of the graduates in the far distant land of India, I am most willing to consent to second the motion, for, however imperfectly I may be able to represent them, I feel that there is some reason that I should act as their spokesman on this occasion (hear, hear). In the first place, I happen to hold at this moment the office of Vice- Chancellor of a University of which the Chancellor is a distinguished graduate of Trinity College— I refer to Sir Dennis Fitzpatrick (cheers) — and of which many of the Fellows are also well-known graduates of this University, and who owe their present position and success in life to the teaching of the same mother University to which my Chancellor has the honour to belong (cheers). Chosen by them and by the other Fellows of the Punjab University to act as their representative in bringing you, on their behalf, their felicitations on the glorious festival of your Tercentenary, I feel I may also not inappropriately act as their spokesman in support of a project which should enlist the sympathy and co-operation of everyone who is, like myself, interested in University life and education (cheers). Again, as an Irishman by descent (hear, hear), I think I could, at all events, act as the representative of my fellow-countrymen in the East in support of a motion which has for its object the foundation of a memorial such as you propose to establish in connexion with the University (applause), which, as has been well said, is the intellectual heart of Ireland (applause), and of which every Irishman, no matter what his creed or political opinions may be, could not but feel most justly proud (cheers) — a University which has given to the empire so many distinguished statesmen, orators, and scholars, and which has so nobly fulfilled her mission of being the guardian of light to spread knowledge and culture throughout Ireland (cheers). I am sure you will give, and your graduates in the East will give, a noble response to this appeal— they are to be found everywhere in India : at the head of provincial administrations, on the Bench, at the Bar, in the Church, in the medical profession, in the civil and military service, and as professors of Colleges ; and I am sure they will but regard it as a privi- lege to be able to join you in establishing a Union to which they may be able to resort when they return here to their own country, there to renew once more the friendships and to revive the associations of their early college days (cheers), and where amid the calm and cultured surroundings of the grey walls of Trinity, they maybe able to re-echo the words of Faust, and say, ' Hier wollen wir von unsrer Wanderung rasten ' (hear, hear). May your Union 'An Hoffnung reich an Glauben fest' serve to strengthen the bonds of love that tie to your old University all, both old and new graduates, who, though separated for years, it m.ay be by distant seas and lofty mountains, will yet always, I feel sure, be animated by the common sentiments of love of country and of association to their old University (cheers), and of loyalty to their Queen (cheers) and to their glorious Empire, which so many of their ancestors have contributed in no small 128 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN measure to establish, and which so many of them are maintaining, and will continue to maintain, in far distant parts of the globe (cheers). I have great pleasure in seconding the motion. The resolution was then put and carried with acclamation. Mr. J. H. TwiGG, LL.D. (Ex- Judge, India), moved — ' That the support of all those graduates who have not yet contributed be invited to the Graduates' Memorial.' He said — I have been asked, in the absence of someone who probably knows something more about this matter than I do, to put this proposition before you. The graduates of this University are scattered over every continent. I was, perhaps, the means of bringing to the notice of the committee the names of some whose whereabouts I happened to know, and I presume letters have been written to them on this subject. The fact is, that when a man is to a certain extent lost on the continent of America, or in the East, it is very difficult to reach him even by letter, and the voice of the newspaper is not at all times a satisfactory medium of communication with him. But when such graduates are reached in those far distant lands, I am sure the recollection of Trinity College will come in a much more effectual way than it does to us who happen to be nearer to that revered educational establishment. About eight months ago I was in Canada, and one or two graduates I happened to meet there were delighted with the idea that in connexion with this College they would have a place for reunion on their return to this country. I explained to them that it was not to be a club, but a union of the many societies now scattered over several rooms, and that the proposed building was intended to unite them with all the advantages of concentration. I am quite sure that generous support will be accorded to the building fund by graduates (hear, hear). Mr. Morgan Owen said— My lord and gentlemen, I have very much pleasure in seconding the resolution which has been proposed by Mr. Twigg. And it seems to me that 1 am, in a certain sense at least, a fit and proper person to do so, as I have the distinguished honour to be a Welshman (Cymro Glan), and therefore I belong to the same nationality as good Queen Bess, who founded this illustrious University three hundred years ago, for, as you all know, she was the granddaughter of my namesake Owain Tudor. Whilst crossing the Channel yesterday I could not help pondering over the changes that have taken place within the space of these three hundred years. The world has been altogether changed since then in science, literature, art, habits, customs, thoughts. Dynasties have been swept away by revolutions, and revolutions have been succeeded by dynas- ties. The map of Europe of to-day does in no way correspond with the map of Europe GRADUATES' MEMORIAL. 129 in 159 1. And, in our own isles, the cultured Celt has been succeeded by the Tudor, by the tragic Stuart, and both by that House which is so magnificently represented at the present time by our Imperial Majesty Queen Victoria. And what, it may be asked, has Trinity College, Dublin, being doing all these years ? Well, like the noble oak, she has taken deep root, I will not say in the affairs of Ireland alone, I will not say in the affairs of the British Isles alone, but I will say that she has taken deep root in the affairs of the whole world, and has influenced its destiny (applause) ; for, during the course of its academical existence, Trinity College, Dublin, has sent forth thousands of graduates who have identified themselves with the very life, in all its phases, of the universe. To mention just one or two names, we have had in literature a Burke, a Goldsmith ; we have had in parliamentary influence a Burke, a Grattan, a Butt, a Plunket ; we have had in the Church a Knox, a Plunket, a Magee ; while in the army and navy we have had — who ? But why mention particular names, for wherever deeds of gallantry had to be done, wherever deeds of endurance and of duty had to be done, there were the graduates of our well-beloved University of Dublin to do them. Knowing what Trinity College has done, and with our expecta- tions of her for the future, I think we may, at this culminating point of her history, venture to apostrophize her thus : — ' Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant University rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks. Methinks I see her as an eagle renewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full midday beam.' Let us, gentlemen, hope and trust that this Tercentenary of her existence may be followed by increased effort, increased fraternity, increased numbers, and increased influence. May Trinity College, Dublin, ever continue to vie in a friendly spirit with her ancient sisters, Oxford and Cambridge, and send them professors in their need. And, lastly, may Trinity College, Dublin, ever continue to identify herself with the lives, hopes, and aspirations of the Irish people, and throw wide her portals for the various nationalities of the earth — an admission having for its objects the culture, the amelioration, and the happiness, both spiritual and temporal, of all who may come in contact with her various agencies and influences. I have endeavoured, as far as I am able, gentlemen, to show why we should agree with the resolution I have the honour to second (applause). The Chancellor, in putting- the resolution, said — I also share the hope expressed by the preceding speakers that there will now be a fresh flow of money for the project (hear, hear). No doubt very many are missing from the list, but it arises, no doubt, from the uncertainty that prevailed as to the actual scheme proposed ; but now, as it has taken substantial shape, I hope there will be a renewed energy. One person said to me that if he thought that it was to be a building he would gladly contribute, but as he thought his money might be spent on that week's festivities, he would not do so yet (laughter). No doubt some are absenting s 130 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. themselves for a like cause (laughter), but the success that has attended so far all the festivities of the celebration will, I hope, inspire everyone of you with enthusiasm, and that you will contribute sufficient money to make the memorial as permanent as possible (cheers). The motion having been put and carried, the proceedings con- cluded. The University was greatly helped in entertaining its guests by two Garden Parties, one given by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Countess of Zetland ; the other by Viscount VVolseley, Commander of the Forces, and Viscountess Wolseley. The Lord Lieutenant's Garden Party took place at the Viceregal Lodge, in the Phcenix Park, at 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. More than a thousand guests were invited, including all of r en ar y a te ^ University's guests. The Lord Lieutenant Viceregal Lodge. J ° and the Countess of Zetland were both present, and did everything in their power to entertain and please the guests. Three military bands were stationed in different parts of the grounds and played selections of music. A cricket match between the Bar of Ireland and the Viceregal Eleven was watched with, interest by many of the visitors. The beautiful grounds of the Viceregal Lodge looked more charming than ever, as the green sward was paced by gentlemen and ladies in brilliant costumes, the vivid colours of the academic dress not fearing to compete in brightness and variety with the robes of the gentler sex. The guests were hospitably entertained in spacious marquees ; and, in spite of one shou er, a most agreeable afternoon was spent. But of this, as of the Lord Mayor's Ball and similar entertainments, a full account cannot be given here, and those who may wish for a more detailed record are referred to the long and able accounts of these parties which appeared in the daily papers, especially in the Daily Express and Irish Times, from the pens of their reporters. It is in their files the historian of the future must search for adequate descriptions of these functions. CHAPTER VIII. SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED — THE BANQUET — STUDENTS' BANQUET— SMOKING CONCERT. HE Tercentenary Banquet took place at the Leinster Hall on Wednesday, 6th of July, 1892, at 7 o'clock. Six hundred sat down to table, including all the University guests, except one or two who were un- avoidably prevented from attending. The galleries were tastefully draped, and the dais was decorated with choice plants and flowers. A large number of the guests were dressed in academic costume, which created a picturesque effect. The galleries were filled with ladies in evening dress. A plan of the tables will be found in an Appendix* showing position of each guest. The Chair was occupied by the Chancellor of the University, the Earl of Rosse, k.p. After dinner, which was supplied by Mr. Mitchell, The Chairman proposed the health of the Queen, which was warmly received. * Appendix G. i 3 2 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The Chairman next proposed the health of the Prince of Wales, which was also duly honoured. Dr. J. K. Ingram, Senior Fellow of Trinity College, proposed ' The Universities.' He said — Your Excellency, my lords, and gentlemen, I rise to propose a toast which I am sure needs no words of mine to commend it to your cordial acceptance. Looking round on this wonderful assembly, the memory of which will long live amongst us, I see many distinguished men who have come to us as ambassadors from some of the foremost Universities of the world, to convey to us their congratulations and good wishes on the occasion of our Tercentenary. I ask you to express to those illustrious bodies the feelings of gratitude with which we receive their friendly greeting, and the esteem in which we hold them as great forces working for the benefit of mankind. I am instructed to associate specially with the toast the names of the University of Oxford and the University of France. Their greatness and their antiquity alike entitle them to the distinction. It has been said of these two Universities that they can never celebrate a centenary of any order; for their birth-year no man can tell; their first origin in time has proved a more impenetrable mystery than the source of the river of Egypt. I will not enter into any eulogy of Oxford, or of her sister of Cambridge, who is habitually united with her in our thoughts. If I did so, I might be met with the old reply, Quis vitufieravit ? Their history is one of the national glories ; their noble roll of worthies is familiar to us all, and we know what an important part they have played in originating or reflecting some of the most memorable movements of English thought. I would rather speak of their present. Never, I believe, were they valued and esteemed by England more than now, for never did they better do their duty to England. They have within our own time removed old and obsolete restrictions which impeded or narrowed their action ; they have welcomed new studies, and have offered a larger and more many-sided culture. They have placed themselves in closer relation with the entire intellectual life of the country. We in Trinity College have felt their influence ; their example has stimulated us, their kindness has encour- aged us. They have behaved towards us in the true spirit of elder sisters; and for this I am sure every Dublin man who hears me is sincerely grateful, and will join with me in the hope that the present celebration will draw yet closer the bonds of mutual regard and good-will which have hitherto happily united us. (Cheers.) The University of France (cheers) — as doubtless most of my hearers know — has a constitution of a peculiar type. Historically, it is the representative of the old University of Paris. France held the foremost place among the Western nations during the Middle Ages ; and the University of Paris was the greatest School of Europe. Foreigners thronged its courts : Dante studied in it ; St. Thomas Aquinas graduated in it. It was the model on which Oxford was formed, and Oxford owned its precedence, calling herself not flri?na, but secunda schola Ecclesice, After a long and chequered existence, the THE BANQUET. 133 University, suppressed for a time by the Revolution, was re-constituted on a new basis. We know the talent of our French friends for organization — how they can weld various elements into a close and compact unity under a strong central govern- ment. This, which was the character of their old jpolitical system, was now impressed on their educational system also ; and the University became in effect the aggregate of all the teaching bodies of France — with few exceptions — under the control of the State. The degree of this control some have thought excessive, and have wished for the substitution of a less centralised system. That is a question which must be decided by Frenchmen themselves, and it is now a subject of earnest discussion among them. But under its existing constitution the University has done, and is doing, excellent work ; its faculties are thoroughly well manned, and Matthew Arnold found a much larger number of the higher and middle classes of France under superior instruction given by really competent men than of the corresponding classes in England. It is possible that the comparison might, in these days of University extension, be somewhat different. But if we add to the faculties in the several local centres those other great teaching establishments not contained within the University, but represented here to-night — such as the College of France, the Museum of Natural History, the Ecole des Chartes — and consider who are the men who work them, we shall, I think, be impressed with a strong sense of the intellectual wealth of France, and the completeness of her educational organization. (Cheers.) The remaining Universities, I am informed, will receive due honour, and will be heard through their representatives, on other occasions during the celebration. But I cannot pass some of them by without a few words of recognition. We cannot, even temporarily, ignore the vast and splendid work done by the German Universities, North and South, by which Greek and Latin philology have been transformed, comparative grammar created and developed, and so many branches of knowledge widened or renovated. Nor can we omit the Italian Universities, which first rekindled in the modern world the dormant flame of Science and Learning, and in which, in recent years, the energies of a new renaissance seem to be stirring ; nor the Scottish Universities, which have rendered such services to Moral and Social Philosophy, as well as to Mathematics and Physics ; nor those of the great Western Republic, whose growing promise prefigures the achievements of their maturity. Many which we cannot enumerate deserve our respectful notice. Let us comprise in one compre- hensive act of thought all the Universities of the world which have responded to our call, from London to Melbourne and Calcutta, from Leyden to Bologna, from Yale and Harvard to Vienna and St. Petersburg. Wherever such an institution has been established, we ought to regard it as a stronghold founded for the defence of true Science and sound Learning, and for carrying on the perennial warfare against ignorance, sciolism, prejudice, and error. Their members are all fighting the same battle as ourselves. We stretch out to the right hand of fellowship, and hail them as brothers-in-arms. (Applause.) 134 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The Lord Bishop of Oxford, in replying, said — I am convinced that nothing I can say will convey to you the strong sense which I am sure my constituents — as I will call the Universities for which I speak — feel for the honour, the pleasure, that they have had done them this evening. (Applause.) I am quite sure I am speaking the sentiments of all when I say that we are indeed full of gratitude for the reception that we have had given to us, and our congratu- lations and good wishes for the future. (Applause.) The constituents for whom I speak wish the Dublin University, and wish heartily, health, wealth, and prosperity — (applause) — for we know your health, wealth, and prosperity lies in the same lines as our own. (Applause.) I think that the health, wealth, and prosperity of a University is very much like the health, wealth, and prosperity of an individual. It depends very much on the state of its digestion and its conscience. In these respects, I congratulate you heartily, and wish you God-speed for the future. (Applause.) I am quite sure that, so far as conscience goes — and after all that is the most important matter, without which we cannot have a good digestion — we are trying to do our duty as Dublin University is trying to do its duty. (Applause.) The great duty of a University, as it seems to me, is divided into three lines. It is a duty to do its utmost to ensure that every individual scholar that comes to it is taught as well as he can be taught. Secondly, it is extremely important that every University should be the centre of culture and education for the circle in which it is living ; and besides, that which, perhaps, is the function which on the present occasion is the most present to you — namely, that every University should take its share in the great work of developing and substantiating the great ends for which they live. (Applause.) Oxford owes a great deal to Dublin, and I am quite sure that the other Universities which are bound together in the expression of good wishes which I give voice to, will recognise that. (Applause.) We cannot go through the buildings of the University without recognising the portraits and the names of men to whom Oxford owes a great deal. (Applause.) This morning I was observing the pictures of Ussher and Berkeley, two names which are inextricably connected with Oxford. (Applause.) There are other names which are present to my mind very forcibly on this occasion, more especially of those great men with whom I myself have been brought into relation in late years — men like Dr. Todd, and the Bishop of Down and Connor — (applause) — and Dr. Graves, the Bishop of Limerick. (Applause.) I do not want to mention names for fear of omitting names that I ought to mention, but I cannot sit down without saying that we all heartily recognise the great debt which we owe to the Provost himself— (loud applause) — who is really a man who, the more I know him, the better I love him, and the more I respect him. (Applause.) Then there are Professor Tyrrell and Professor Palmer — (renewed applause) — Pro- fessor Atkinson and Professor Stokes — (applause) — nor should I omit to mention Dr. Mahaffy. (Loud applause.) We owe much to all these, and we most heartily THE BANQUET. i 35 appreciate their services in the various walks which they have chosen. I never would have ventured to address this great public assembly did I not know that the people of Dublin are the most indulgent, pleasantest, and kindest people in the world. (Loud applause.) M. LANNELONGUE responded in French. He said — Je viens au nom des Universites du monde repondre aux paroles elogieuses et 61oquentes qu'on vient de nous adresser. Certainement l'honneur qu'on fait a la France en ce moment est grand, mais ma tache est particulierement difficile. Je voudrais 6tre le digne interprete des Universites aunom desquelles je parle, et savoir communiquer les pens6es dont je suis profondement penetre\ A cote de la reconnaissance pour l'accueil chaleureux dont nous emporterons tous un souvenir inoubliable, il y a dans ma poitrine un battement de cceur qui temoigne mieux que toutes les paroles de la sincerite de nos hommages et de la vivacite de nos sympathies. N'est-il pas vraiment saisissant de voir l'emulation generale des Universites du monde a consacrer avec vous une date memo- rable de votre histoire, a honorer vos fetes, a en rehausser l'eclat ? On a dit du rap- prochement d' institutions gardiennes du savoir et des connaissances humaines, qui ont aussi la mission de preparer le progres, les decouvertes inattendues, etonnantes meme, qu'il pouvait amener un nivellement des intelligences, et, chose plus grave, porter atteinte au particularisme — c'est meconnaitre qu'il tire les origines et releve d'une sorte de constitution endemique entretenue par un faisceau d'616ments propres a chaque contree. L'atmosphere transparente, la temperature tiede, les images baignees de lumiere, qui sont le don de certains climats, la vie douce et jusqu'a. l'impossibilite de soutenir l'effort qui sont le propre des nations qui les habitent, expliquent l'6closion des pensees 16geres, le gout fin et deli6 de l'art, les exaltations de la poesie, la puissance des assimilations faciles et heureuses — au contraire, un ciel brumeux ne laissant agir la radiation solaire qu'a travers un voile epais, une lumiere adoucie et comme mysterieuse eclairant pourtant un sol riant et toujours vert, l'isolement du reste du monde entier, de hauts rivages que bat de tous les c6tes une mer immense, la vie rendue rude et difficile par la lutte, ne s'adaptent-ils pas a une race grande et musclee, batie pour voir de loin et parcourir le sol a. l'aise, concentrant en elle-meme une chaleur qui se communique avec eclat, ardemment eprise des causes justes et penchee sur les pensees profondes ? En ai-je de meilleur t6moignage que celui des hommes qui ont illustre' Trinity College ? Oui, ce sont les qualites de la race, la vivacite de l'intelligence, la conception rapide, l'eloquence chaude et vibrante, un grand art de seduction enfin qui ont donne a l'lrlande cette force d'expansion dont parlait St. Bernard, et qui a traverse" sans alteration les phases d'une histoire souvent agitee, toujours virile et glorieuse. Trinity College a 6te avec quelques Universites voisines le berceau d'une nombreuse elite d'hommes superieurs dans les lettres, dans l'art de la parole, dans la philosophie, dans toutes les branches des connaissances humaines. Que de noms a. citer ! Parmi les romanciers, Swift et Goldsmith ; parmi les poetes, Moore, Davis, Sheridan, dont le 136 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. descendant represente si dignement a Paris les trois royaumes ; parmi les orateurs, Grattan, Burke ; parmi les apdtres de la philosophic et de la tolerance, Berkeley; parmi les savants, Robert Boyle, qui decouvre le phosphore en meme temps que Kunckel et Brandt, etc., qui tirent l'hydrogene de l'eau. Je m'arrete ne voulant pas m'etendre, ni parler des savants actuels connus de tous, qui honorent votre Universite. Qu'il me soit permis cependant de rappeler les noms des modestes serviteurs de l'Humanite qui me touchent plus directement. Graves, le fondateur avec William Stokes de l'Ecole clinique en Irlande ; Corrigan, qui a attache son nom a une maladie du coeur ; une pleiade enfin de Medecins et de Chirurgiens, Robert Adams, Philip Crampton, Curran, Carmichael le premier correspondant de l'Academie de Medecine ; Cusack, O'Brien, Montgomery. Tout recemment un des n6tres se demandait ' s'il ne viendrait pas un jour ou la volonte des Hommes unira les peuples les uns aux autres comme elle a fondu en une seule patrie toute la province de la France.' Monsieur Lavisse ajoutait qu'il y a moins de difference entre la Normandie et l'Angleterre qu'entre la Normandie et l'Auvergne. Je ne poursuivrai pas 1'accomplissement de ce reve, mais il me semble que les Universites par leurs appels reciproques, par leurs rapprochements multiplies, travaillent a. affermir dans le monde la paix a laquelle l'Humanite aspire, et c'est ainsi qu'on pourra voir se remplir les fosses qui separent les nations, ces fosses fussent-ils des oceans. (Applause.) The Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, in proposing the toast of 'Trinity College, Dublin,' said — On behalf of the assembled Universities I can say that it is their earnest desire that the greatest prosperity may come to Trinity College, Dublin. I speak to you as a stranger, who has only one qualification for attempting so difficult a task, and that is because of the close connexion which has happily existed in the past, and never existed more closely than it does to-day, between this great University of Trinity College, Dublin, and the University of Cambridge. It has been said that all the earlier Provosts of this College came over from Cambridge. Perhaps I may venture to think that the secret of your prosperity here lies in that fact. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) I desire to express an earnest wish for the continued prosperity of this great University. I will not go into details of the history of this University during the last three centuries, but I may be allowed to say that your three centenaries have been in times of excitement — the one in 1692, the one in 1792, and also the present one. (Hear, hear.) In proposing prosperity to this great University, I do it in the name, not only of the great men to whom such eloquent allusion was made by the last speaker, and who when you visit the Library of the College, or walk in College- green, are necessarily present to the imagination of every man, but even more forcibly in the name of the happy days of youth, the days when men lay the intellectual and moral foundations of their after-life. (Cheers.) THE BANQUET. 137 The names of the Rev. George Salmon, Provost ; the Right Hon. David R. Plunket, M.P. ; and Mr. W. E. H. Lecky, the eminent historian, were coupled with the toast, which was most enthusiastically received. After the toast had been duly honoured, the Provost, who was loudly applauded on rising, and throughout his speech, said — It is very good-natured of our elder sisters to assist this juvenile University in keeping its third birth-day. I remember that, when I counted among the juveniles myself, we used to wonder a little that, while we were encouraged to keep our own birth-days with great festivity, nothing was said about our elders' birth-days ; and indeed some of our elder sisters, when asked how old they were, did not seem to like the question, and pretended they did not know. We concluded that if they had ever been born at all it must have been so long ago that they had forgotten all about it. That seems to be actually the case with the Universities the representatives of which have preceded me this evening. They appear disposed to reproduce the old lady's excuse for not telling her age, that her baptismal registry had been lost in Noah's flood. If we were now scorned because of our youth, I should be tempted to ask the irreverent question : Is there really any good in being alive so long as all that ? The elder Universities were alive a long time before us, but what were they doing then ? All the good things they are now proud of having accomplished, were done since we came into existence. We are young, but we are older than almost all the science that is cultivated in the present day ; older than some of the best of the literature of every modern language ; older than such knowledge of the ancient languages as is now honoured with the name of scholarship ; and in the case of some ancient languages, such as those spoken by Egyptians and Assyrians, older than the knowledge that any information could be had about them. Our visitors may see in the building that surrounds us, a type of the progress which 300 years have made. The title we bear is ' Trinity College, near Dublin.' When our College was founded the city did not extend in this direction much beyond the Castle. The site given us was a piece of marshy land outside the city walls. Now the city has enveloped us round and round : streets and squares have spread far beyond us, and we, who were once outside, are in the very centre of the modern city. That little circle of knowledge, in which at our first institution we undertook to give instruction, bears about the same proportion to that which we teach now as the Dublin of Queen Elizabeth's days to the Dublin of Queen Victoria. And so we are tempted to ask : what had Universities to teach in the ages before we were born ? Had they any work to do then that was worth doing ? There are several answers which they might give to that question. First, if asked what they were doing then, they can say ' we were growing.' Every great result has to be preceded by a due period of silent growth that gives little promise of its future. The tree, which is to spread a mighty T 138 TERCENTENARY QF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. shade for generations, needs years of silent progress, and high as it aspires to the airs of heaven, so low must it strike its roots into the depths below. The work of the ancient Universities is not to be measured by the amount of knowledge they communicated. They did a greater work in stimulating the thirst for knowledge, and the best attended lecturer of our day hears with incredulous envy of the throngs of students who, in former days, flocked to Oxford or Paris ; and if the teachers of those elder times could see the classes of their successors, they would feel they had a right to scorn the poor and petty work we are doing now. But if it is asked what the English Universities were doing three hundred years ago, there is an answer which in gratitude we are bound to make for them : They were fostering our childhood. For the first half-century of our existence our relations were closest with Cambridge, which supplied us with eight of our first Provosts. Afterwards, when complaints were made of the laxity of our discipline, Archbishop Laud took us in hands, and Oxford supplied the pattern on which our statutes were modelled. If we had any desire to minimize our obligations, we might say that these Universities rendered to us the services which big children will cheerfully render to little children. Cambridge was good enough to help us in eating our cakes, and when we wanted a whipping Oxford was so obliging as to hoist us. But, to treat the matter with all seriousness, it is the condition of human progress that we enter into the labours of those who have gone before us. Infancy would perish if it were not for the fostering care of elders. Oxford and Cambridge were our elders, and we must recall with gratitude the help they gave us in our early struggles into life. We cannot repay directly the benefits conferred on us by our elders : we can only show our sense of them by striving to do as much for our juniors. And we are proud to do it. Every little girl is proud when she finds herself big enough to be allowed to nurse a baby. There are a number of baby Universities at the present day, in whose eyes our poor three hundred years seem venerable. Young as we are we have sent out alumni to every quarter of the globe, and on this occasion there are no felicitations which have touched us more than those which we have received from our graduates in distant lands, separated from us in body, but united in sympathy with our celebration. We look with some envy on those lately born Universities : they seem to have a so much happier childhood than ours. We had years of painful conflict with poverty and danger, when our main task was to struggle to keep ourselves alive. They burst at once into healthy vigorous activity ; in their very cradles strong enough to crush the serpents of ignorance and error ; and we cannot too much admire their ' non sine Dis animosa juventus.' To me personally it is a pleasure that it is to Cambridge I have to make special acknowledgment of the honour done us in proposing this toast ; for it is with Cambridge that my first friendships, outside my own University, were formed. When I was young our Mathematical School predominated here above all others, and was the only one of which outsiders had knowledge. We were drawn to Cambridge by our common interest in mathematics, and in time became associated with Cambridge in a THE BANQUET. 139 publication, which did good work in its day, the ' Cambridge and Dublin Mathematical Journal.' Naturally out of common work and common interests there sprang friend- ships. It casts a shade of melancholy on my reception of Cambridge congratulations that age or death prevents them from being borne by many of my earliest friends. Loss of friends is the penalty one pays for living too long. ' Each wave that we danced on in morning ebbs from us, And leaves us at eve on the bleak shore alone.' In particular I miss one of my warmest friends for whom Cambridge is still mourning — Adams, of whom it can be most truly said, ' Bonum virum facile crederes, magnum libenter.' He so impressed, with a sense of his gentle goodness, all who came in contact with him, that they learned, with as much surprise as pleasure, that he, whom they loved as a good man, deserved to be honoured as a great man. That early intercourse with Cambridge reminds me what a contrast was the isolation of all scientific workers then to the cosmopolitan aspect of our gathering to-day. At that time scarcely any worker knew what another was doing. I remember that one of my teachers was regarded as a man of singular research, because it was reported that he actually read French mathematical memoirs, and got ideas from them. Later I was informed that some things on which I prided myself as novelties had been anticipated in Germany, and I set myself to acquire, what was then not a common accomplishment, a knowledge of the German language. Now, the memoirs of learned societies are supplemented by a multitude of scientific and literary periodicals ; cheap postage has facilitated communication by letter between men of different countries : so that on an occasion like this, when we see many for the first time, we greet them not as strangers, but meet them as old friends, with whom we have long been in communication ; perhaps as teachers from whom we have long been learning. When we were issuing invitations for this secular festivity of ours, we could not use the old form of asking our guests to come to see what no living man had yet seen, and none should see again. I feel disposed to borrow Wamba's joke, and complain that centenaries make an old man of me. I witnessed one at Edinburgh eight years ago : since then another has been celebrated at Bologna, and our friends on the other side of the Atlantic have been keeping at least a half-centenary at Harvard. It was well that, in making our arrangements, we were able to profit somewhat by the experience of these other Universities, for we were unfortunately wanting in experience of our own. When our younger members came to me and my contemporaries, naturally expecting that we should be able to tell them how things were conducted at the last centenary, we were able to plead that since, owing to the circumstances of the country, no centenary was celebrated a hundred years ago, it was not reasonable to expect that our memory should go back two hundred years. Consequently our secretaries had to grope their way by their own sagacity, aided by whatever hints they could pick up from the i 4 o TERCENTENAR Y OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. experience of Edinburgh and Bologna, and I believe they feel that they are now just beginning to find out how things ought to be done, and that if another centenary had to be celebrated they would know how to arrange it. Well, the progress of medical and sanitary science has been such, that I will not venture to pronounce it impossible that they may take part in another seculoversary. I am sure that anyone who knows anything of their exertions will heartily wish long life to them, and that it would be much for the benefit of the next centenary if the conductors could have the advantage of their counsels. As to a hundred years hence, one prediction we can make with confidence, that all that has been done in the last hundred years for the advancement of knowledge by the independent efforts of isolated workers, will be far surpassed by the results of the joint co-operation of searchers after truth in different countries, who have now learned to know and to assist each other. And for my own University my aspiration is that she may take her fitting share in this great work, and that those who come after us may widely extend and richly adorn the glorious inherit- ance received by us from our predecessors, and transmitted to them. (Loud applause.) The Right Hon. David Plunket, in responding, said— I beg to express in the first instance my gratitude to the committee who have coupled my name with an institution with which all my happiest and proudest memories and all my brightest hopes are united and bound up. (Applause.) I have also to thank them for the honour they have done me in associating my name with the Provost, who has preceded me, and Mr. Lecky, who is to speak after me — the Provost who has flung the lustre of his high and world-wide reputation around it, and Mr. Lecky, my old friend and contemporary, whose triumphs as a brilliant and faith- ful writer of history have not, I am glad to know, won him away from the study of oratory, in which he was no less distinguished in the days when he and I were companions and competitors in the old Historical Society. (Loud applause.) I return to all you learned professors and famous scholars who have come here, not only across St. George's Channel, but across farther seas, and across the wide ocean, to do honour to the three hundredth year of this old College of Trinity, Dublin — (applause) — I return to you, on behalf of Trinity College, our heartfelt and sincere thanks. But there are others here to-night — and I am one — who cannot claim the position of being a learned professor or a famous scholar who join in this celebration with no less enthusiasm ; and I am led into the line of thinking that, as we go on in life, over and over again our memories bring us back to those earlier times when, as students within the walls of College, we spent our lives differently from what we do at the present day. (Applause.) It is this mingled feeling of recollection and regret that draws us back while we compare ourselves as we are with ourselves as we were — to the home of our earlier THE BANQUET. 141 experiences and greatest happiness, and, as decades roll away, that feeling comes more strongly on the mind and on the body. Forty years on, growing older and older, Shorter in wind, though in memory long ; Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder, What will it help us that once we were young ? (Applause). I believe there are many men here to-night who may have achieved in middle life great successes, and for whom further triumphs may yet be in store, who would exchange all their triumphs and all their successes for those happier and more careless days — (applause) — who would join heartily in the sentiment of our own poet, Tom Moore, who I imagine, was looking back on his experiences in Trinity College when he sang in those most melodious verses — Ne'er tell me of glories serenely adorning The close of our day, the calm eve of our night ; Give me back, give me back, the wild freshness of morning, Her clouds and her tears are worth evening's best light. (Applause.) There are other reasons, setting aside these, which you may call senti- mental, why Irishmen assembled here should join heartily in doing honour to the University of Dublin, and to Trinity College. The University of Dublin is the one great institution in Ireland which has flourished and survived. Now for three hundred years Trinity College from age to age has gathered up all that is best and strongest in the warm blood of the Irish people, and, like a true heart, has sent it out again renewed and revivified to fulfil its function through the life of the land. Through all that time Trinity College has beheld many vicissitudes in the chequered and changing history of our country. Civil war and rebellion have raged around her ; plague, pestilence, and famine have stalked through the land ; governors and rulers have come and gone ; legislatures have been founded, re-created, and passed away ; but Trinity College has alone stood, nobly fulfilling her high and holy mission for the people that she loves and who love her. (Applause.) She has sent forth old College men to fill the learned professions, to educate the society of the land, men who have here won high renown for science and scholarship, the wide world over, for the Irish name. (Applause.) Ay, and she has done more. Not only these services has she given to those who stay at home, but her sons have gone forth to conquer and defend and to govern distant provinces, the great colonies and dependencies of the empire. (Applause.) Long, I say, may the University of Dublin flourish ; long may Trinity College survive, and whatever intervals of darkness, danger, and distrust may yet be in store for our beloved country, may Dublin University and Trinity College live on into happier and brighter days (applause), when at last contentment, peace, and prosperity shall have settled down upon every creed and class of our countrymen, and the old reproach of the ' distressful ' country shall be forgotten in the past. (Loud applause.) fan IV si 142 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. Mr. W. E. H. Lecky said— My old University has done me a great honour in allowing me to-night to speak for a few moments in her name. It was natural that the Provost, who has so long presided over her, and who represents in the most eminent degree her distinctive learning, should do so, and it is not less natural that this task should fall to my old friend Mr. Plunket. He has long represented the University in Parliament, and will, no doubt, in a few days represent it again, and he inherits the name, and no small share of the eloquence, of one of her most distinguished representatives. (Applause.) But it is much less natural that this duty should fall upon one who has been for many years unconnected with academic life, who has been engaged in studies different from those of the University, who can point to very few laurels won in University life, and whose small stock of academic learning, I fear it must be confessed, has grown very dim. I suppose, however, that in selecting me for this honourable position you desire to convey that the influence of a University on its students is only very imperfectly measured by their mere academic proficiency, and also that the tie between a University and an old pupil is one of those which neither absence nor variety of pursuits can ever wholly sever. Gibbon has somewhere spoken of the advantage of grafting private consequence on the importance of a great professional body. Let me say more simply that it must always be a keen pleasure to an isolated author to think that there is a great body which follows his career with something of a paternal — I suppose I should say maternal — interest, and which in some future day, when taking stock of her productions, may not wholly forget his name or his work. How few things, gentlemen, there are in Ireland which could by any possibility celebrate a tercentenary. (Hear, hear.) I suppose there is scarcely a country in the world in which so many institutions have been planted with great promise, and then withered away : sometimes they have fallen mildewed by corruption; sometimes they have been torn in pieces by sectarian strife; sometimes they have perished through the constant fluctuations and vicissitudes which have so peculiarly characterised the government of Ireland. It may at least be said of Trinity College that for three hundred years it has steadily mingled with most of the best things in Irish life. (Hear, hear.) It has not been merely a University of great mathematicians or classical scholars, of great divines or metaphysicians ; it has also been the University of Swift and Goldsmith, and Congreve and Burke, of Henry Brooke, of Moore, of Lever, and of Davis. Whatever its enemies may say of it, it has been the University of the nation, and not merely of a party or a sect. More than sixty years before the English Universities its degrees were thrown open to Roman Catholics, and before that date Roman Catholics were admitted by connivance among its students. Hely Hutchinson, who was the greatest advocate of unsectarian education in Ireland in the eighteenth century, was its Provost ; Plunket — (cheers) — who took up with conspicuous genius the Catholic cause after Grattan, was its representative. It can count among its pupils men of every variety and every extreme of political opinion — Clare THE BANQUET. 143 and Grattan, Flood and Sheil, Duigenan and Wolfe Tone, Whiteside and Butt, and men connected with it have borne a leading part in elucidating the most distinctively Irish history. A Fellow of this University produced one of the few standard histories of Ireland. In our own generation what writers have explored Celtic history more success- fully than Todd and Graves and Ferguson, than Stokes and Richey, and — to name but one more — than that illustrious Celtic scholar Bishop Reeves ? Of all our Irish institutions I believe Trinity College, Dublin, is that which has divided us least, and has excited beyond its borders and its connexions the least animosity and the largest measure of genuine goodwill. May the spirit that animated this University in the past still continue. Whatever fate may be in store for us, whatever new powers may arise, may this University, at least, be true to itself. In a country torn by sectarian and political strife may it continue to bring together in friendly competition students of different creeds and different political colours, and teach them to respect each other, and teach them to respect themselves. In an atmosphere hot and feverish with overstrained rhetoric and passionate exaggerations may it continue the home of sober thought, of serious study, of impartial judgment, of an earnest desire for truth, building up slowly, steadily, and laboriously the nobler and more enduring elements of national life. (Applause.) The Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, who was received with loud and prolonged applause, said — My lords and gentlemen, the signal honour has been done me of being permitted to propose a most important toast. My toast, like Cerberus, has three heads, but unlike the Cerberus of Mrs. Malaprop, it is not three gentlemen at once, but, on the contrary, three ladies of the highest respectability, though, when met in sculpture, occasionally lightly clad. In other words, as I am in a learned assembly, and I desire to use learned language, they are the square root of the nine Muses. (Laughter.) They are : Science, Art, and Literature — long and honoured denizens among men, without distinction of language, nationality, religion, or politics, though being ladies, they have never had a vote. (Laughter). My lords and gentlemen, that the authori- ties should have conferred the representation of this august triad on me has, I dare say, caused you as much surprise as it has occasioned myself, but the reason of this has recently been confided to me. As a yachtsman, I have occasionally ' shot ' the sun, which implies a great amount of familiarity with our greatest astral body. Many years ago, when in what my Scientific training would lead me to describe as a condition of unstable equilibrium, superinduced by the disturbing influence of alcoholic force — (laughter)— I made a speech in dog Latin ; and I have shown my devotion to Art by submitting to the operation of being photographed three times. (Laughter). But if these credentials are not considered sufficient, there are others to which I will refer. There are present i 4 4 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. to-night three illustrious personages whom I have the honour to claim as my personal friends (applause), who are eminently fitted to represent the three divisions of my toast— Lord Kelvin, whose facile mathematical genius and scientific acquirements have translated themselves into the most practical and beneficial uses. (Applause.) There is a well-known prelate, my Lord Bishop of Deny, of whom it may be said that he is as much beloved as he is respected, and of whom it may be questioned whether his writings have done more good or given more pleasure. And we have also present among us Sir Frederick Leighton, President of the British Academy, who has better than any man living succeeded in impregnating the British Philistine mind with some conception of the purities, the grace, and the dignity of ideal beauty as perceived by the Greeks. My lords and gentlemen, it is my supreme privilege to call upon you to drink to Science, Literature, and Art, coupling with that toast the names of Lord Kelvin, the Bishop of Derry, and Sir Frederick Leighton. (Loud applause.) The toast having been duly honoured, Lord Kelvin, in responding, said — I do not think that there is any other University in the world of which it can be said that four of the Provosts that have presided over it during the short period of a century have, everyone of them, contributed magnificently to the advancement of Science. (Applause). Need I mention the names of those to whom I refer ? They are the elder Lloyd and the younger Lloyd, Jellett, and he who so worthily presides over us this evening. (Applause.) The Lord Bishop of Derry said— I occupy an unenviable position in replying to this toast. As a preacher of Sermons, which comparatively few persons have listened to, and a writer of Poems which no one can read except my intimate friends (laughter), I am unwilling to speak, after such a great authority as the last speaker, and on such an important subject. The Literature of the University of Dublin has been emphatically an Irish Litera- ture. As we look round this Hall we see that the University of Dublin largely represents Literature as well as Science. It may be invidious and unpleasant to a certain extent to speak of men before their faces ; but we cannot help being reminded of one so often spoken of this evening as Professor Mahaffy (hear, hear), whose works are so valuable and so massive. We can hardly refrain from mentioning the Classical scholarship of Professors Tyrrell and Palmer. We are not apt to forget the great critical sensibility and the great reading of Professor Dowden. (Hear, hear). I may, on the other hand, be allowed to mention the name of one who, as a man of Science, I, in my ignorance, can hardly say anything about : THE BANQUET. i 45 I mean Sir Robert Ball, whose reputation and whose labours are truly world-wide ; and why should I in his presence refuse to refer to the Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, the figures in whose great books, while essentially heavy, are made to dance before our eyes with the wondrous touches he has given to them ? I have only further to say that in the future, as in the long past, I hope that Trinity College, Dublin, may continue its good work in the paths of Literature and Science. We trust that the day may be far off when any great change shall take place in this University, from whatever source that change may be threatened, that would tend to destroy or largely change this great University which is such a bright page in our history, and which has been so beneficial to our country — this University that through all the troubled history of our country has neither been blistered with tear-drops or stained with blood-drops. (Loud applause.) Sir Frederick Leighton said — My lords and gentlemen, to be admitted to sit as a guest amongst you on an occa - sion of such deep and such suggestive interest as this, which has drawn together from every quarter of the cultured world to this great nursery of famous men a vast gathering of men of mark and leading, is in itself an honour most highly to be prized. How much keener must be the gratification of one who, himself but a very humble and a most infrequent intruder in the field of letters is, by the great indulgence of this University, privileged from henceforth to enter your gates as one affiliated, however distantly and however unworthily, to its illustrious body. For this honour I would wish to express my inmost sense of gratitude to those to whom I owe it. I would thank you, my lord, personally for the most kindly and flattering terms in which you have been pleased to bid me welcome to-night, and with you, I would thank also this brilliant assembly for the hearty cordiality with which it has received your words — a cordiality in which, it seems to me, I feel some of that generous warmth which is peculiar to your race. (Hear, hear.) I do not know, my lord, on what other artists in the past may have fallen the honour bestowed on me and on my brilliant friend and colleague to-day ; but this I know, that in your inclusion of artists in the honours of this celebration I must read a larger purpose and a more comprehensive thought than is contained in the kindly desire to mark two individuals with your approving sympathy. I must read in it rather a sign of that growing sense which is evident in our day on all hands of the place that belongs to the arts in the higher scheme of life ; a sense of the pure joys, many and manifold, that the quickened sense of the beautiful in all things brings to those who are strung to respond to them, but, above all, of the high value, in these rough days of elbowing selfishness and materialistic leanings, of all pursuits that are nourished in the ideal and withdraw us into her serener atmosphere. My lord, of the many guests who sit about you to-night, the greater number are filled, no doubt, with such thoughts and memories as are naturally suggested to them by the occasion and the surroundings of this morning. 146 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The spirits of some of Ireland's noblest sons haunt the air around us — statesmen and divines, lawyers, men of letters and men of science, wits and poets, orators, supreme men, who have made and make this green island to be famous through the world. But I shall be forgiven if the flash of Irish wit and the winged fire of Irish eloquence do not wholly occupy my thoughts, and if, remembering that the two great Irishmen who live in bronze on either side of your portals live there through the craft of a famous Irish sculptor, my thoughts are turned to matters more germane to my own pursuits, and I ask myself, not without warm interest, what has the future in store for Irish art ? Well, my lords and gentlemen, in following this train of thought, the first controlling fact that impresses itself upon the mind is this, that you are predominantly of Celtic blood. Yours, then, is that swift and supple, that keen and ardent Celtic spirit which has borne to the world in other lands such a magnificent harvest of artistic wealth. Imagination, that precious gift, the noblest element in an artistic nature, has been implanted in abundance among the sons and daughters of this legend-haunted land ; it colours their thoughts, it inflames their speech, it breathes in their national melodies — shall it not find permanent and lovely expression also in the garb of form and colour ? Yet, in the arts, though she has furnished within this century not few distinguished names to her roll of fame, Ireland has probably not yet done full justice to her brilliant genius and her earliest promise. (Applause.) Now, her annals in the past explain, I think, in great measure the fluctuations and the failures in her artistic development. More than a thousand years ago, in times when Irish learning and Irish piety were an example to the world, Irish monks carried over every country in Europe the marvellous fruits of their gifts of illumination — gifts of which the supreme monument is preserved in your hands, the ' Book of Kells,' on which I have gazed with enchantment this after- noon ; and, again, such treasures as the Chalice of Ardagh and the Brooch of Tara are there to show the excellence of Celtic metal work, even before the days of Charlemagne and of the great Haroun. Still further back, in pre-Christian days, here, as amongst the kindred Celtic races of Britain, designs were produced on a different principle of form which, to my mind, display a perhaps yet higher Esthetic quality than that of the ornament which eventually displaced them. Nothing known to me in metal- work sur- passes in subtle flower-like grace the expanding spirals, now swelling into high relief, and now fainting away with a wave-like softness, which blend in the wayward yet symmetrical designs known by the blaring and foolish name of the ' Trumpet pattern.' But both these phases of design preceded the day when the study of the human form assumed its proper place and supremacy in art, and in that day the torch and the sword had, alas ! supplanted the brush and the chisel, and through long, lurid ages of deadly strife the gentler arts were thrust aside and arrested in their growth. During several centuries the genius of Irish art thus lay sunk in slumber ; but her sleep was not the sleep of death, and in modern times she has awakened from her long trance. To mention only two or three of those who have called her into new life, and who, though they have passed away, were amongst the friends of my own youth, I will name STUDENTS' BANQUET AND SMOKING CONCERT. 147 first a man of Clare, who rose to a place in the foremost rank among the artists of our common country, William Mulready, and with his name I will join those of another painter who achieved great fame, and of a sculptor who has richly adorned your city with his works — I mean Daniel Maclise, most lovable of men, and John Henry Foley. Shall we not hope, nay, confidently expect, that the life thus brightly rekindled will be maintained and strengthened, and bear noble fruit in the days to come ? (Applause.) So, in the wreath of many golden leaves which binds the brow of Ireland, one leaf shall never be wanting on which are inscribed those glorious arts for which you have suffered me to speak to-night. (Applause.) After this speech the banquet ended, and the guests dispersed about midnight. While the Tercentenary Banquet was going on in the Leinster Hall, a banquet was being given in the Dining Hall of College by the Students to Student Delegates from other Students' Banquet. Universities. About one hundred and fifty gentle- men sat down to dinner, including all the Student Delegates whose names have been already given in the fifth chapter. The banquet was a great success. Mr. W. M. Dixon, the Chairman of the Students' Committee, presided. After dinner the Chairman proposed the toast of ' The Queen,' which was enthusiastically received. Mr. F. L. Leet then proposed ' The Sister Universities,' and Mr. G. Kempt, of Cambridge, responded. Mr. J. R. O'Connell next proposed ' Our other Guests,' and the toast was replied to by several gentlemen. Mr. Liversidge, of Oxford, then proposed ' Dublin University,' and the Chairman responded. The speeches were of great wit and eloquence, but unfortunately no reporters were present, and therefore, carent vate sacro, they cannot be handed down to posterity in these records, which is sincerely to be regretted. After the Students' Banquet was over, the company adjourned to the Dining Hall, where a Smoking Concert took Smoking Concert, place. The Editor regrets that he has not been able to obtain the programme of music, or even the names of the singers on the occasion. The Concert was not of 148 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. long duration, but while it lasted was very enjoyable, though some- what boisterously gay, the Students, as it seemed, trying to compress into 'one crowded hour of glorious life' the diffused hilarity of three centuries ; and, although there seems to have been a general misin- terpretation of Horace's line, ' Natis in usum laetitiae scyphis,' it was, perhaps, justified by the reflection that Tercentenaries only occurred at extremely rare intervals. CHAPTER IX. THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS : PROCESSION TO THE LEINSTER HALL — PRESENTATION OF CONGRATULATORY ADDRESSES FROM UNIVERSITIES AND LEARNED BODIES — SPEECHES BY THE PROVOST, VICE-PROVOST, THE LORD MAYOR, AND REPRESEN- TATIVE DELEGATES— THE ADDRESSES. F all the functions of the Tercentenary celebration the presentation of addresses by the Delegates of the Universities and Colleges of the Globe was the most impressive. The ceremonies which had preceded it were more of the nature of welcome or rejoicing ; but now came the occasion on which the voice of the intellectual world was to be heard testifying to the worth and greatness of the University of Dublin, to the work which had been accomplished by her sons, to the estimation in which she was held in every civilized country under the sun. Probably no University possesses within its walls a hall large enough to accommodate such vast gatherings as those which assisted in these celebrations ; and, although it would have been more Academic to 150 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. have held the whole ceremonial, if possible, within the precincts of Trinity College, yet it was not inappropriate that the capacious building known as the Leinster Hall, situated in close proximity to the College, and built on its land, should become the scene of the most brilliant and remarkable of the Tercentenary spectacles. Again, a procession was formed in the courts of the College. It even exceeded in magnitude that which had marched on the opening day of the Tercentenary to St. Patrick's Cathedral. As on that occasion, the procession was preceded by a military band, and was greeted with enthusiastic expressions of welcome by crowds of spec- tators. The procession was marshalled in the same order as was the procession to St. Patrick's on Tuesday. The Swiss Student Delegates carried banners, which fluttered gaily in the strong breeze which was blowing. Meanwhile hundreds of privileged persons had thronged the galleries of the Leinster Hall, which was beautifully decorated and festooned with pale blue and gold. The vast concourse of Fellows, Professors, Delegates, Senators, Graduates, and Students entered the spacious hall and slowly settled in their places, and the show of colour in hoods and robes was brilliant in the extreme. The body of the hall was assigned to Students and Graduates of Trinity College, members of the University Senate, and some dis- tinguished visitors, the seats immediately in front of the dais being reserved for the Delegates who were the bearers of Addresses from Universities and Learned Bodies. The galleries were filled with those visitors who had been able to secure tickets of admission. The Earl of Rosse, K.P., Chancellor of the University, presided ; the Provost sat to his right, the Vice-Provost to his left. Seats upon the dais were allotted also to the Lord Mayor and those members of the Corporation who were present ; and to the Fellows and Professors of Trinity College ; and seats on the dais were also occupied by the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, the SPEECHES ON PRESENTA TION OF ADDRESSES. 15 1 Bishops of Limerick, and Down and Connor, and a few others. Behind the Provost was an antique oak chest of capacious size, in which the Addresses were deposited after they had been presented. The proceedings were opened by the Provost, the Rev. George Salmon, D.D. He was received with an enthusiasm which expressed not only respect for him as the representative of the University, but personal reverence and affection. He said — My lords and gentlemen, the kindness of the reception which you have given me enables me in some degree to recover from the very painful shock I got this morning. I sent for an official programme in order to ascertain the hour at which the proceedings should be opened, and on looking at it I found that the proceedings were to be opened with ' an address by the Provost.' I thought our secretaries showed themselves ignorant of the first principles of common law, that a penalty should not be inflicted twice for the same offence. Now, if the effect of my being Provost be that I am to have inflicted on me the penalty of speech-making, I thought I had sufficiently discharged that penalty yesterday evening, and that therefore it would be an injustice to punish me again ; but when I complained to the secretaries of their conduct, they said, in excuse, that they had told me of this six weeks ago. These terrible young men, who never forget anything themselves, do not understand that to a man of my age six weeks' notice is no notice at all. They proved themselves, however, to be in the right when on my making another complaint, they told me I had made the same complaint six weeks ago. My complaint was that in every other case they had the humanity to say a 'short address,' in my case they said 'an address.' However, there is one thing which they cannot deprive me of, the right of apportioning the penalty to myself— and I suppose they relied on my humanity that my speech would be a short one. I believe my chief function on the present occasion is the giving of thanks, and, as in duty bound, I begin with the representative in this country of Her Majesty the Queen. I must distinguish, however, between the man and the official personage. The Lord Lieutenant is an official personage in two capacities. He represents the Queen here, but he also represents here Her Majesty's Government. Now, of the Lord Lieutenant as a man I shall say something presently ; as the representative of the Government I must avail myself of this unexpected opportunity of making a hearty growl. 1 have felt we had cause for complaint that when the Government might have chosen any other week of the year for the dissolution — in fact they were not limited to this year, for I believe there were many of their supporters who would have been just as well pleased if they had waited for another year — they should have fixed upon this week, which we had six months ago given notice of as the time of our festivities. The consequence 152 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. has been that we have sustained a serious loss. Several eminent men who had promised their attendance have been obliged to stop away altogether, or else have only been able to give us a mutilated visit. Passing, however, from that topic, I come to the Lord Lieutenant in his private capacity, and in that respect I have nothing to say but words of gratitude for the kindness and courtesy which he has shown, for the part which he has taken in our proceedings, and for having given us the benefit of his gracious hospitality. We are all delighted to know that this is an auspicious season, not only for ourselves, but also from a family event, for himself. I next come to the Lord Mayor. When I was at the Tercentenary proceed- ings in Edinburgh eight years ago, I was struck with a kind of envy and despair on account of the harmony which I found existing between the University and the Corporation. I thought with myself that when our proceedings took place here, as I supposed would be in seven or eight years' time, we could not emulate anything like what we saw there at that time. I did not think — it was a possibility which never entered into my head— that I should preside on this occasion ; and it was equally a thing which I did not venture to hope for, that we should have been honoured with the presence of, and with the co-operation of, the Lord Mayor. He has made our guests his guests, and in particular I must give him, what we owe him, all gratitude for what at that time in Edinburgh I could never have dared to anticipate — that through his kindness we have the presence of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh. To the Lord Mayor, and for the example which he has set, I think we also owe gratitude for the kindness and courtesy with which, on a long procession through the streets, we were met, when we went the first day of our meeting to St. Patrick's. I know that there were several here who looked forward to such a thing with apprehension, and I am gratified to think that it was very much to the Lord Mayor that we owe the fact that our apprehensions proved to be completely unfounded. There is another person to whom I should also express my gratitude — I mean to his Grace the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin — who, I think, rightly felt that, whatever our differences may be, he was in perfect sympathy with us in remembering that we were a religious foundation, and that our thanks on this occasion were due in the first place, as we rendered them, to the Almighty God Who had supported us in the three hundred years past, and to Whom we look for our support in days to come. Perhaps I should mention, however, how the first idea occurred to us to go all the way to St. Patrick's for our service. At the time these celebrations were first talked of, we confidently hoped that a sermon would have been preached for us by Archbishop Magee — he was then only Bishop Magee. He was warmly attached to this University. I don't know that we ever had a graduate who did us more honour, and who was attached to us by stronger bonds of life-long affection. When we contemplated having him for our preacher, we knew that our small chapel could not possibly hold the throng that would come to hear him, and we arranged to go to St. Patrick's. Death has deprived us of the presence of that great man, but we did not find that St. Patrick's was too spacious for the congregation which assembled SPEECHES ON PRESENT A TION OF ADDRESSES. 153 there on the first day on which we met, and I think I should publicly express our gratitude to the Dean and all connected with St. Patrick's for the facilities they afforded us, and to the Dean himself for the discourse he gave us on the occasion, and which I hope will be preserved. I shall now come to our guests, and really the pleasure I feel in seeing so many great men here is tempered with a little shade of disappointment. It has often been a pleasure to me— unskilled as I am in the art of painting — to visit two or three great masterpieces, and take some time in admiring them, but I feel bewildered when I am ushered into a grand gallery filled with masterpieces which I am only told to look upon and pass on. There are on the present occasion many here whom I had wished to meet— many of them are old friends— whom I had to be obliged to content myself with shaking hands with. I feel certainly that in a great deal of pleasure there has been much to tantalize me also. I believe it is the duty of the Chancellor to thank the guests and delegates for their coming here, and for the addresses which they have offered us. Well, the addresses of welcome will come later. For their presence and for their coming here I may thank them at once, and many of them at great inconvenience have come here in many cases from a great distance. It is a sacrifice for which we cannot be too thankful, and which, I think, will help to draw men who pursue knowledge in all countries closer together than they had been before. I think, if these meetings should go on, there are some reforms in academical arrangements which will be necessary. One of the first controversies to distract the Christian Church was about the time of the celebration of Easter, and it certainly brings home to me now that it was a very practical question, for it was very inconvenient, to those who were meeting together, that some of them should be feasting and others should be fasting ; that some should be working while others were playing. We have lost the presence of several of our foreign friends, who would have been glad to visit us on this occasion, because their holidays generally begin in August, while ours begin in July. In fact, if we had postponed the commencement of our proceedings we should have lost many of our own graduates, and a great many of our English friends, who are with us here. When another centenary takes place, scientific and learned men will have to make some mutual arrangement for all to get their holidays at the same time. I recollect on a former occasion, when the British Association met in Dublin, it would have been my duty, as president of the mathematical section, to deliver an address, which collapsed owing to illness on my part. But one of the topics I had intended to speak on then was the objection that was sometimes brought against the Meetings of that Association, because the Papers then delivered were not of surpassing value, and in most cases were such as would have obtained easy publication elsewhere. I was about to say then that I felt the greatest benefit from meeting face to face with cultivators of knowledge in the same department as myseif. I had on these occasions received many a useful hint, which I was afterwards able to employ to advantage, and I think there is no hint more valuable among the multiplicity of publi- cations of various kinds in the present day than to meet an expert who can tell you x 154 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. what to read. I am sure there are many in this meeting who have been brought face to face, who will be thankful for the meeting, and who know that this occasion will soften the asperity which sometimes prevails between cultivators of the same branch of knowledge. I think the Bishop of Derry, speaking last night, said that theology was a low suburb in which we often met a great deal of bad language. Well, now I do not know if any of the bad language that theologians employ now-a-days is to be compared 'with the bad language that the cultivators of classical learning employed in the beginning of the century. No words could be too bad to depict the character of a man who had mistaken views as to the preterpluperfect tense. I have no sympathy with that feeling. I know that when I come across a book where the author has been deficient in care, and which he has turned out upon the world without using on it that industry that he should have employed, I am apt to be angry, and I feel a slight temptation to make use of bad language ; but if it happens that the man is one with whom I have shaken hands and have had friendly intercourse I feel a power of self-restraint that I never would have exercised under any other circum- stances. I feel that after such a meeting we are not likely to have the same inclination to use bad language to each other. I predict that in the future the amenities of science and literature will be cultivated and increased. I say nothing more about the delegates. I suppose that subject may hereafter be touched on. One word I may say to our graduates, and express the regret that I cannot help feeling that so many of them were necessarily crowded out, owing to the liberality with which our zealous young people spread their invitations to strangers to come, without having taken into account the limited capacity of our halls and means of entertainment. I thank the old as well as the young graduates who have honoured us by their presence, and I must not omit to say a word about the undergraduates. Some of our English friends, who were present at the conferring of degrees the other day, found that they missed something on that occasion to which they had been accustomed, and that there was a certain amount of tameness about our proceedings which made them think that Irish undergraduates were incapable of making a noise. I only wish that they had been with us in the hall on Monday at the opening of our election. I have had a certain difficulty in under- standing the pleasure that undergraduates feel in making a noise. I know that all young animals are playful, but my kitten days are so long past that perhaps it is a defect on my part that I cannot now understand the pleasure. But it was not incapacity but good feeling that has kept them silent on this occasion, and respect for the many eminent men whom I am sure they feel it a great honour and a great pleasure to have been accorded at least the sight of. I think at least the undergraduates of this generation have had an incident in their University career such as their fathers had not, and it is to be feared their sons will not have, and to which they will all their lives be able to look back with pleasure, feeling honoured by the scenes they have witnessed on the present occasion. (Loud applause.) SPEECHES ON PRESENTA TION OF ADDRESSES. 155 The LORD Mayor (Mr. Joseph Michael Meade, LL.D.), who was warmly applauded on rising - , said — My Lord Chancellor, my lords, and gentlemen, who have come here as Delegates to the Tercentenary celebration of our old College of Trinity in Dublin, on the part of the Municipality and the citizens of Dublin, I bid you all a hearty and cordial welcome. The Provost has so kindly alluded to the action of the Corporation, whose chief I am, in connexion with the Tercentenary, that he has left very little indeed for me to say. I will say, however, that it only required to be mentioned to the Corporation that it was desirable that they should attend and assist in promoting the success of this celebration to find that they were unanimously disposed to give effect to that desire, and as an . earnest of their feeling they voted with one accord the honorary freedom of the city, the highest gift we can give, to the Provost of Trinity College. I, as a citizen of Dublin, feel proud of Trinity College and all its history (cheers). I feel that from Trinity College have gone forth leaders of thought and of action in every department of science, of art, and of warfare, and we Irishmen look with pride and with pleasure to the teaching of Trinity and the great men whom she has reared (cheers). I feel that in the future she will continue the good work, and that no matter what changes may take place in parties or in men's ideas, Irishmen will continue to rejoice in her past history, and look with hope to her future triumphs in the world of learning. I feel, on the part of my citizens, the great advantages that must necessarily arise in Dublin from the visit of such distinguished public men as we have amongst us to-day. I hope, and I feel, that they will experience from one and all of the citizens of Dublin, no matter what their positions may be, no matter what their views may be, political or otherwise, the greatest kindness and courtesy ; and that the citizens will show to them that they feel proud and that they are honoured by the presence of so many distinguished men. I hope the Delegates will have the pleasure of taking back with them none but the most kindly and cordial recollections of their visit. I speak the unanimous feeling of my colleagues in the Corporation in bidding the Delegates and guests a hearty welcome. As there are other addresses yet to be delivered I need say no more, except to express the hope that our visitors will enjoy their visit, and that they will bear back with them friendly recollections of our city and its citizens. (Applause.) The Rev. Joseph Carson, d.d., Vice-Provost, next rose and said — The duty that devolves upon me is a responsible, but at the same time a very pleasurable, duty : it is that of bringing before you the names of the Univer- sities and other learned bodies who have done us the honour of transmitting to 156 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. us congratulatory addresses on this memorable occasion, and of calling out likewise the names of the distinguished and illustrious men — whom they have sent here as Delegates — their literary ambassadors — to convey to us their kindly feelings and their expres- sions of respect and regard, their congratulations upon the past, and their cordial hopes for the future. In such an assembly as this, in this large and spacious hall crowded from floor to ceiling, I feel that it is the first duty of anyone who takes part in these proceedings that he should endeavour to make himself intelligible to all his audi- tors, and therefore it is that I am obliged to forego the use of the Latin words consecrated by long academic usage, and to fall back on our own tongue, which the old Roman orator might have stigmatized as barbarian, but which is at the present moment spoken by a larger number of the civilized people of the world than any other known tongue. Yet we are not met together without some reference to the classical language of past times. Yesterday in the senate hall of the University, the Public Orator, in eloquent and felicitous language, summed up in few words the various parts of the world whose representatives we are pleased to see here before us. He said: — ' Adsunt salutatrices Oxonia et Cantabrigia, gemini Angliae oculi, duae litterarum arces, scientiae faces. Adsunt Academiae Londini et Dunelmi et Walliae et illae quibus nomen indidit eadem Regina (quam Deus salvam faciat !) in Hibernia Reginae et Regale, in Anglia Victoriae. Adest Caledonia, altrix terra exsuperantum virum. Manus trans mare amicissimas porrigunt Germania Gallia Italia fontes illi venerandi doctrinae artiumque. Porrigit trans Oceanum America, a Sarmatis, ab Herculis columnis, ab Indis mittunt Europa Africa Asia gratulatores ; ab ultimis terrae partibus veniunt in communionem gaudii nostri Universitates toto orbe divisae toto corde coniunctae.' As so many ladies have graced the occasion with their presence, I shall, for their benefit, endeavour to render into English the words of the Public Orator — ' Friendly hands are held out across the sea by Germany, France, and Italy, those revered fountains of learning and the arts. Across the Atlantic America greets us. From the steppes of Russia, from the Pillars of Hercules, from India, Europe, Africa, and Asia, they send greetings. From the uttermost parts of the earth they come to share our joy, Universities severed from us by the whole world but united to us by every link of love.' I shall therefore conclude by calling the representatives of these various bodies to show that the words of the Public Orator were no idle boast, but the expression of incontrovertible fact. I am sure that the words of these gentlemen will sink in the minds of all those now present, and will remain a source of pleasure and gratification in connexion with the Tercentenary of their beloved University. (Applause.) I shall begin with Great Britain, her Colonies and Dependencies, and I therefore call on the representative of the University of London, Sir James Paget. (Applause.) PRESENTA TION OF ADDRESSES. 157 Then followed the presentations. The Vice-Provost called out the names of the Universities and the Delegates representing them, and the latter came on the orchestra in succession and Presentation of u[d thg addresses with whidl they were charged Addresses. J ° on the table before the Chancellor. The mace- bearers, who accompanied several of the deputations, preceded the latter as they advanced to the platform, and when a Delegate spoke, the mace of his University was deposited during his speech upon the table beside the mace of the University of Dublin. Mr. Chapman, the mace-bearer from Edinburgh University, attracted much attention, owing to his huge stature, which must have been more than six feet and a-half high, as well as from the richness of his official robes. The Heidelberg Delegates were accompanied on to the dais by two student Delegates in their picturesque costumes. As each Delegate advanced to the platform, the band of the Sussex Regiment played the national air of the country to which he belonged. Thus the ' Marseillaise ' was played when the address from the University of Paris was presented; ' Auld Lang Syne' when the delegates from Scotland advanced ; Monsignor Molloy, representing the Catholic University was saluted with ' St. Patrick's Day ' ; and the Johns Hopkins deputation was welcomed with ' Yankee Doodle ' amid applause and merriment. Nothing could have been more lively or effective, nothing could have brought more vividly before the minds of the audience the world-wide character of the congratulations which the University was receiving than this feature of the ceremony. There were several scenes of marked enthusiasm. When, for instance, the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava came forward, he was greeted with immense applause, the whole audience rising and cheering and waving caps and handkerchiefs. The students called eagerly for a speech— a request which could not be complied with. The noble Marquis bowed his acknowledgments repeatedly, but the cheering was '58 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. renewed again and again, and a more striking expression of universal admiration and regard could hardly have been imagined. Again, when Professor Vambery delivered, in vigorous accents, a speech in the English tongue, glowing with generous admiration of the British people and their empire, to the development of which Dublin University had contributed so much through so many of her sons, the audience once more sprang to their feet as one man and cheered vociferously, carried away as they were by the force and vehemence of the orator. A limited number of the delegates delivered speeches on presenting their addresses, one being selected from the representatives of each country, or group of countries, according to the following programme, in which the groups of Universities are printed in thick capitals, and their spokesmen in ordinary capitals.

Sir James Paget, presenting the Address of the University of London, and speaking on behalf of Great Britain, her Colonies and Dependencies, said — I have the honour, as Vice-Chancellor of the University of London, and in associa- tion with my distinguished colleague Dr. Holden, to present to you from the Senate of our University an address of congratulation on this glorious anniversary ; and I have the yet higher honour of offering the congratulations of the Universities of Great Britain and her Colonies and Dependencies. The responsibility of my duty is very great; but yet greater is the happiness that, in these days of political dispute, I can speak for so many others, who, however widely they may differ on other subjects, are certainly unani- mous in gladness at the prosperity and renown which the University of Dublin enjoys after three hundred years of work in the acquirement and diffusion of knowledge. Much of this work has been done in the midst of nearly constant bitter trials of controversy, personal, political, and doctrinal ; and never has it been shown more clearly that the mighty living force of the desire for the promotion of knowledge can abide and grow in its strength in spite of hindrances and distractions manifold. Here that force has been constantly widening its range of influence, constantly acquiring new fields for cultiva- tion, and stirring more minds to the love of learning. Yes ; in respect of learning, your University has, indeed, had a noble career, and has, with full merit, attained its pre- sent eminence. . You have had in all your faculties successions of earnest, able teachers, always striving to maintain their teaching at the highest level of their time. And you have had among your professors and your graduates men of rare genius, inimitable ; but giving to the University such lustre of renown as has made every student feel that he may justly boast that he is a Trinity College man, and that he must fear lest he should ever bring discredit on the school which they have ennobled. And you have had a succession of that best class of teachers, the men eminent in research, lovers of enterprise in the study of arts and sciences — men who never cease to be students — always learning while teaching, and thus providing, by their examples, that best of all teaching, the teaching how to learn, and showing by their own enthusiasm the intense pleasure of enterprise for the discovery of things unknown. Naturally concurrent with all this has been the just ambition that the University should be in nothing behind the best in the merit and the repute of its degrees. And to this end you have competed well with all ; raising the standard not only of your teaching, but of your examinations ; making them the final tests both of education and of acquirement ; the tests at once of teachers and of students. And your success is proved, not only by the high value of your degrees being everywhere admitted, but by the increasing numbers of your gra- duates, who, as teachers and examiners in other schools, are everywhere extending your influence and increasing your renown. These, my lord, are only part of the reasons for which I offer the hearty congratulations of all whom I am permitted to represent. I could tell of more but for the judicious limitation of my time. Only let me add the SPEECHES B Y REPRESENTA TIVE DELEGA TES. 163 assurance of our earnest hope that the future may be yet more bright— more fruitful than the past. You have helped to make it sure that the power and responsibility of Universities is steadily increasing ; and our wishes rise to the height of a fervent prayer that the power of this University may be blessed to the true welfare of our country and of the world. (Applause.) On behalf of the seats of learning in the United States, Mr. Daniel C. Gilman, ll.d., President of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said — To the plaudits of British and American scholars the Americans add their tributes of grateful reverence. We bring you salutations from the New World, a barren wilderness when Trinity College was founded, now a vigorous forest where acorns of British oaks have taken root and grown. Our seats of learning greet the University of Dublin as an honoured elder sister, for our oldest colleges, Harvard and Yale, were not born until Edinburgh and Dublin had become mature. We have come to greet living friends, in whose companionship our scholars walk through the fields of ancient and modern literature, survey the heavens, enter the abstract realms of mathematics and philosophy, and dwell in the Earthly Paradise of Science and Art. At the stately portal of Trinity College we have been met by your Goldsmith and ours, and we heard him say in the phrases of the immortal Vicar, ' Here is a college to be chosen "as I chose my wife, as she did her wedding gown, not for a fine glossy surface, but for such qualities as would wear well.'" When we turned to salute the other guardian of the threshold, we heard the clarion voice of Edmund Burke — our Burke as well as yours — defending the cause of American freedom ; and were set to musing whether, if his warnings had been heeded, we should now be present as freemen of the United Kingdom, and not as citizens of the United States. One alumnus of Trinity College is beloved beyond all others by Americans. I need not even pronounce his name. (Loud cheers.) Some of us have been at his See of Cloyne. We have looked upon his ideal form, cut in marble, so full of life and beauty that we felt his presence, and uttered, face to face, our words of gratitude and honour. Therefore, to-day, among these scholars assembled from every land of Christendom, the Americans do honour to the University of Dublin for its present and for its past. I have spoken by- request for all the institutions of learning in the United Slates, from Cambridge on the Atlantic to Berkeley on the Pacific coast. May I now be allowed to read a letter sent by the University in Baltimore, founded by Johns Hopkins. It is as follows : — 'The Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore greets with admiration and respect the University of Dublin, grateful for its services during three hundred years to Science, Letters, and Education ; mindful also of the example and influence of Bishop Berkeley, an alumnus and Fellow of Trinity College, whose gifts, words, and character are an abiding inheritance of American scholars.' (Applause.) 1 64 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. Professor Theodor Gomperz, having handed in an address from the Academy of Sciences, Vienna, said that he had great pleasure in presenting, in the name of his colleague, Professor Schipper, an address from the University of Vienna. He continued — I wish to express my admiration of the glorious traditions of Dublin University, and my warmest and most earnest wishes that its future may be one of glory and of greatness, that it may continue the eminent services it has rendered in the past to the threefold cause of the advancement of learning, the progress of science, and the improvement of mankind. I may be allowed, in conclusion, to pay my tribute of heartfelt gratitude to the members of this illustrious University for the extreme kindness, the perfect courtesy, and the sincere cordiality which the foreign delegates have met with on this solemn and memorable occasion, and which has left an indelible impression on our minds. Professor V. D'Hondt, presenting the Address of the University of Ghent, and speaking for the Belgian Universities, said — The Belgian Universities have the honour of sending to their sister of Dublin delegates for the purpose of presenting to her on this occasion of her three hundredth anniversary their most cordial and sincere congratulations. The scientific world recognizes happily no limits, no political differences, no philosophical nor religious sects. Among those who devote themselves to learning, there can exist nothing but a noble emulation for the advancement of science and the spread of truth. The Belgian Universities are very glad to find in these celebrations a new occasion of recording to the world their independence, and the fact of their being placed under the protection of the great powers of Europe, and notably of that of the United Kingdom, with which on every occasion Belgium has experienced the most friendly and most intimate relations. Nor can Belgium forget that part of their country owes its civilization to an Irishman, the illustrious Columban. Also we are very proud to have the honour, on presenting this address, to avow our most sincere wishes for the prosperity of the University of Dublin. Professor H. M. Saxtorph, presenting the Address of the University of Copenhagen, said — When the University of Copenhagen received your kind invitation to take part in this festivity, and when they selected me as their representative, I had no reason to refuse, considering I was the only one in the University who had ever had any connexion with Trinity College. In fact this University is a very old acquaintance of mine. Forty years ago I came to Dublin, and spent a long time here studying surgery. When I came here I was so well received by the whole profession, that I spent a very SPEECHES B Y REPRESENTA TIVE DELEGA TES. 165 long time here — much longer than I had expected at first. Well I should mention first and most of all Professor Hamilton and Robert Smith. The latter seemed to take a certain interest in me : in fact I might consider myself one of his pupils ; but now after forty years, coming back, all that generation has died away. I do not see a single one of all those men ; but, although we know that men may die, science will go on ; and I expect, and think, and believe that Trinity College will always go on making progress to the benefit of her Students, to the benefit of the country, and to the benefit of science. Professor Richet, presenting the Address of the University of France, said — It is with, we might almost say, paternal affection that we are now called upon to express our congratulations to one of our younger sisters. Ten centuries ago Europe was in darkness ; but on a lonely spot on the summit of the hill of St. Genevieve was then glowing the light of learning, which, conscious of its duty and responsibility, for eight centuries has never ceased to pour forth, with a generous spirit, the knowledge collected during those centuries of Greek and Roman culture, and preserved by the great University of Paris with motherly care and jealous eye ; and now, after eight centuries, it is also with motherly love and satisfaction that we beg to tender our heartiest congratulations to a sister which, although younger, is not on that account less distinguished. Baron Von Richthofen, presenting the Address of the University of Berlin, and speaking for the German Universities, said — My Lord Chancellor, my lords, and gentlemen, I have had the honour to be appointed to represent on this most festive occasion the University of Berlin, and the additional honour has been conferred upon me to be allowed to address this illustrious assembly in the name of Germany. On either side I have been charged to submit to the University of Dublin the most sincere and most sympathetic congratulations on the Tercentenary celebration of its existence. The intellectual relations between Ireland and Germany date from a time far beyond the day of the foundation of Trinity College. More than other nations, we have a right to recall to the memory of this day, the acts of those pious monks who left the convents of the island of Erin to spread Christian religion abroad. Many a legend is interwoven with their successful working in forest-clad Germany, where, besides the sacred doc- trines, they planted and fostered the germs of scientific knowledge. It is the time when Dicuil, in his home country, and Virgilius, the enlightened Irish-born bishop of Salzburg, propounded their advanced cosmological doctrines. Germany does not forget what she owes to this early Irish influence upon her civilization. She has never 1 66 TERCENTF.NA RY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. been able to repay directly the benefits then received. Centuries had passed by when another grand intellectual movement united the two countries. It is the awakening of the spirit of independent thought, which had its roots in scholastic philosophy, and was alone able to give origin to scientific research. Cultivated by master-minds at some of those early Universities which sprung up on the Continent and in England, it attained a high standard in the sixteenth century. In this era, Trinity College was founded under the glorious and enlightened reign of Queen Elizabeth. Historical record ex- hibits clearly the remarkable position which this University occupied from its very beginning. Its paths were not smooth, and it has had to undergo struggles severer than those which fell to the lot of other places of academic teaching. The spirit of Protestantism, upon which the new institution was founded, as well as that of toleration, to which the first should naturally develop, have had to defend their position on Irish soil against opposing influences. The University of Dublin has never failed to come out victoriously from its difficulties. It has continued to grow step by step, and to exert a powerful influence, not only within the Emerald Island, of the capital of which it is the brightest jewel, but also generally in the scientific world. Among its members, there were not lacking eminent scholars adapted to give it lustre and brilliancy, and it can boast of having educated others who rose to high and important positions in politics, in literature, in arts, and in sciences. To this university which now looks back upon a successful history of three hundred years, and whose intellectual pre-eminence is partly based on this long standing, I have to express the sympathy on the part of a university which, although among the youngest of the Continent, has grown up on ancient found- ations laid by German University life since six hundred years. In its name I have the honour to deliver their tabular gratulations. I am further authorized to speak in the name of all other Universities emanating from this common ground, as well as of academies and scientific institutions of Germany, which are represented here either personally or by having sent written addresses. May the same vigorous prosperity which has marked the history of Trinity College from its very origin, but chiefly within the last sixty years, never be checked. May the University of Dublin continue to act as a radiant light in Ireland, and, far beyond her frontiers, to rank high in the general realm of intellect and in the world of science. Professor C. P. Tiele, presenting the Address of the University of Leyden, and speaking on behalf of the Dutch Universities, said — I have the honour to say a few words in the name of the Dutch Universities which have accepted your invitation with the greatest sympathy. Three of them are represented here by their delegates — Leyden, Utrecht, and Amsterdam. Unhappily official duties prevented the Rector of the Groningen University from joining our delegation. I hope you will kindly accept the apologies I make to you in his name, and the congratulatory address of his Senate with which he entrusted me. Your University and those of SPEECHES B Y REPRESENTA TIVE DELEGA TES. 167 Holland, though they did not stand in constant and frequent relations, have much in common. Founded within the same period of history— for if the University of Amsterdam as such is still very young, as an illustrious school it exists more than two centuries and a-half — they have sprung from the same wants, they were animated by the same spirit, and all of them have now developed into centres of free and thorough research and scientific speculation, directed only by the love and devoted to the pursuit of truth. Nor do we ignore the names and works of many renowned scholars and writers whom in the three centuries of its existence your College counted among its pupils and teachers. There is, first of all, that glorious pair whose statues adorn the facade of your lofty hall, the great political philosopher, mighty orator, and master of literary composition, Edmund Burke, and the charming author of the 'Vicar of Wakefield,' who certainly did not dream that he would be raised to that honour when as a poor sizar he had to sweep the court and to carry up the dinner of the Fellows, and when the only academical distinction he achieved, and I regret to say at that time deserved, was to be thoroughly caned, but who lived to be one of the most popular writers whose name is known throughout the world, and whose works are scarcely more appreciated in this, his own country, than they are in ours. And why should I not add the name of that powerful genius, that ' ruin of a great empire,' as Thackeray called him, Jonathan Swift ; of that sworn enemy of traditional scholasticism, that most subtle and original of English metaphysicians, George Berkeley ; and last, not least, of the great pioneer in Oriental research and discovery, Edward Hincks? All of them belong to that glorious past of which you have a right to be proud. You have a right to it, because you have not to be ashamed of the present. Not a few of your still living professors, by the depth and extent of their knowledge, and by their extraordinary talent, rank foremost in the several departments of science and of literature. To the old glory of your institution you add new fame. Therefore, when we present to you our congratulations, it is not out of mere courtesy we address you, but it is a salute of honour we bring you as your fellow-labourers in the great work that increases every day, and can only be done unitis viribus. We attend your jubilee with the most cordial feelings, as members of that great community which embraces the whole civilized world, as those who, like yourselves, have devoted our lives to the service of that true science of which it may be said, Quacunque incedit fiellit tetiebras. Professor A. Vamb£ry, presenting the Address of the University of Buda-Pesth, and speaking on behalf of the Austrian and Hungarian Universities, said — I deem it a particularly high honour to have been entrusted with the mission to convey to you the collegial greetings and hearty congratulations of the Buda-Pesth University on this festival occasion. There is a certain amount of similarity in the geographical position of the University of Ireland and of Hungary, considering that one occupies the 1 68 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. most south-eastern, and the other the most north-western point of Europe. We Hungarians have not been so happy as you, for, being posted on the gate of Europe, towards the East, we had to stand the brunt of Mongol, Tartar, and Turkish irruptions, and serving as the sentinel of the Christian West, we have just now to make good for the shortcomings of the past. It is thus that, whilst the Hungarian University has only quite recently begun to send forth the rays of modern culture and science towards the neighbouring East, your high school has been fulfilling that duty already three centuries ago in a two-fold direction, namely, towards the West and the East. I dare say everybody will admit that the beginning and the growth of the Great Republic of America is mainly due to the work of men educated in this and in other Universities of Great Britain. The seed of liberty sown by the children of this island in the western hemisphere, may have produced a tree of different form and foliage, but it comes from the common soil of the United Kingdom, and it is a common property, just as your language which resounds with equal power in the ancient and in the modern home. But apart from your activity in a western direction, allow me to speak in my capacity of a humble student of Asiatic languages and peoples, of the successful activity of this University in the propagation of modern learning in the distant East. Your Asiatic Empire may have been founded by the heroic spirit of the children of this insular country, but it is kept up by the mental superiority, and by the sense of justice which has been instilled by this University in the breast of the torch-bearers of our civilization in the East. The sword and the gun strike terror for a while, but the learning and the achievements of modern science overawe constantly the Asiatic, and fill his breast with admiration forthe man who has comefrom thedistantWestto deliverhim from oppressive tyranny, and to lead him on the path of real humanity towards a better future. Your proverb, ' knowledge is power,' finds its best expression in the fact that your language has conquered nearly the whole of the Asiatic Continent, for there are not only over one million of Indians who can speak in the language of Milton and Shakespeare, but we saw recently European Courts compelled to use English when receiving the princes of Siam, and the Sultan of Turkey had to use English interpreters, when he invited the naval officers of Japan to his imperial table. Everybody will agree when I say that your Universities are the fountain of your supremacy, and the cradle of your power. It is but natural that everybody will and must rejoice in the flourishing condition of your high schools, and I beg to express in the name of Hungary our most sincere congratu- lations on the Tercentenary festival of the Dublin University. May she live to see many happy returns of this glorious day, and may she continue to spread science to the welfare of mankind. ' Vivat, crescat et floreat ' ! (Loud applause.) Professor Gaudenzi, presenting the Address of the University of Bologna, delivered a short speech in Italian on behalf of the Universities of Italy. SPEECHES B Y REPRESENTA TIVE DELEGA TES. 1 69 Professor F. HAGERUP, presenting the Address of the University of Christiania, said — I came here as the representative of a small nation whose people pretend to be a sort of kinsfolk of the Irish nation — a people who used to come in ancient days to bring war and misery to the Isle of Erin, and destroy the ancient Irish civilization, but who have sent me to-day to bring you warm thanks for the power which this illustrious Uni- versity has exercised in the civilization of the present day. We wish that this cele- brated Trinity College, which has been during three centuries the pride of Ireland, may continue, during many coming centuries, to be a light and a blessing to scientific education, to be a benefit in this place to the Irish people — the noble and gifted Irish people — who have inscribed so many names on the roll of science and letters, and who in these days have inscribed the name of Ireland on the hearts of foreigners, and for whose happiness and prosperity all of us join in praying most warmly and heartily. Dr. T. T. Martens, presenting the Address of the University of St. Petersburg, and speaking on behalf of the Russian Universities, said — When the Rector of my University was giving me permission to come to Dublin, he said, ' Do not not make a speech at all ; because one of the aims of Great Britain is not to make the best speech, but to do the best work. Mountains and seas separate St. Petersburg from Dublin, and it is not so easy for a Russian to cross the seas as it is for Englishmen or Irishmen. But in the field of intellectual culture and civilization there are no mountains and no seas. In the name of my University, I congratulate you most heartily, and I wish that the University of Dublin may long continue to be in the future what it has been in the past, the pride of Ireland, and an excellent guide in the fields of learning and culture. Professor J. Kollmann, presenting the Address of the University of Basle, and speaking on behalf of the Swiss Universities, said — Im Namen der Schweizerischen Universitaten bringe ich, Mylord Chancellor, unsere Huldigung. Vom Fuss der Alpen bringe ich die warmsten Gluckwiinsche uber das Meer und stehe dabei mitten unter Abgesandten aller Kulturstaaten der Erde. Niemals, bei keinem seiner Feste, hat das Alterthum eine solche Gesandtschaft gesehen. Sie spricht lauter und feierlicher als Worte es jemals vermogen von dem Ruhm der Universitat Dublin. Denn wir sind hier als Zeugen 3oojahriger fruchtbarer Thatigkeit auf alien Gebieten menschlichen Wissens, und als Zeugen von der Wirkung Eurer Universitat weit uber die Grenzen des Landes hinaus. Wir sind dem Rufe zu z 1 70 TER CENTENA RY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. Eurem Feste gefolgt, um an dieser Stelle auch Zeugen zu sein von der Einheit der Wissenschaft, die jede Hochschule in sich verkorpert. Die Wissenschaft ist das einigende Band nicht bios zwischen den Gliedern der Universitat, sondern auch zwischen den Hochschulen der ganzen Welt. Sie alle stehen untereinander in der innigsten geistigen Verbindung, weil alle Studien in letzter Linie das innere Wesen der Menschheit und der umgebenden Natur zu um- fassen suchen. Auf diesem unermesslichen Gebiet sind wir Alle zu gemeinsamer Arbeit verbunden auf immer. Aber nicht allein wir sind es, sondern auch die einzelnen Wissenszweige. Denn das Studium der Sprachen ruckt nicht allein die Grenzen der Weltgeschichte immer weiter zuriick, und zeigt geistige Monumente der Vorzeit, welche Licht ver- breiten in das Dunkel menschlicher Anfange, ohne die wir eigene Kultur nicht vollig verstehen wfirden, das Studium der Sprachen verbindet auch die Philosophic und die Gottesgelahrtheit, die Geschichte und die Naturforschung, und die Lehre vom Volker- recht gegenseitig zu gemeinsamer Arbeit. In diesem umfassenden Sinne hat die Uni- versitat Dublin ihre grosse Aufgabe seit drei Jahrhunderten ausgeflbt, und hat sich an dem Fortschritt aller Zweige der Wissenschaft einen unsterblichen Antheil errungen. Vieltausendjahrige Tradition ist erhalten, verborgene Eigenschaften der Natur sind ent- deckt, und der Besitz durch neuen Erwerb bestandig vermehrt und verbreitet worden. Wir danken laut, vor aller Welt, an dieser durch segensreiche Arbeit geweihten Statte. Moge ein neues Jahrhundert, erfolgreich und segenspendend wie die vorausge- gangenen neue Lorbeeren, der Universitat Dublin entgegenbringen, Lorbeeren der friedlichen Arbeit des Geistes, die getragen ist vom Frieden der Volker. Dr. John Peile, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, presenting the Cambridge Address, said — The University of Cambridge offers its hearty congratulations to the University of Dublin on the occasion of this memorable gathering. The connexion between Cam- bridge and Dublin dates from the foundation of Trinity College. Six out of the first seven Provosts were graduates of our University. The policy of which Whitgift was the chief exponent, removed from Cambridge Cartwright and others of the more restless spirits of the early Puritan party. The care of our great Chancellor, Lord Burghley, who was also your first Chancellor, sent to Dublin, as its second (and first acting) Provost, Walter Travers of Christ's, then of Trinity College, the friend of Cartwright, and the well-known author of the ' Ecclesiastica Disciplina.' The line of Cambridge Puritans was continued through Hen. Alvey of St. John's, Will. Temple of King's, Will. Bedell of Emmanuel ; and the honour was twice declined by Jos. Mede of Christ's. The rule of the sixth Provost, the ' native ' Rob. Ussher, breaks the chain. But it was reserved for Will. Chappell, once tutor of Christ's College, and most widely known as the author SPEECHES B Y REPRESENTA TIVE DELEGA PES. 1 7 1 of an imaginary outrage upon John Milton, to be the probably unwilling instrument of Laud in the abolition of the rights given by the Charter of Elizabeth, and among other changes in placing the election of the Provost at the will of the Crown. I will not here discuss the truth of Tho. Baker's witty judgment — that the Crown sends to a College such as will govern — -whereas Colleges elect for themselves such heads as are willing to be governed. There have been times at all our Universities — generally those at which they discharged least efficiently their primary duties — at which the attention of the governing bodies was given chiefly to points which to later generations seem utterly unimportant. Such times were especially the end of the last and the opening years of the present century. But none can doubt the drift or the importance of the struggles of the seventeenth ; yet, I believe, that Trinity College, Dublin, now acquiesces in the power of the Crown with as little reluctance as the great foundation of the same name at Cambridge. One tradition Dublin has faithfully preserved. It has never encouraged one-sided mental development. It has accustomed its pupils to combine the study of literature with that of exact and of experimental science, of moral and of mental philo- sophy. The tendency in England is now in the opposite direction. I trust that Dublin may long maintain the principle which has produced scholars marked by wideness of range and exactness of method, and men of science who are also distinguished theologians. If private inclination may justify me in singling out one school out of many, I would gTatefully acknowledge the debt which England owes to-day to the classical school of Dublin. At no time has that school contained men whose names were more widely known and honoured in the fields of textual criticism, of linguistic science, and of historical investigation. Nor should I omit to mention the able scholars who, after receiving their early training at Dublin, have continued their studies and increased their honours at Cambridge. But it is not only in this way that Dublin has repaid her original debt. Cambridge sends as one of her fittest delegates to-day her Professor of Anatomy, who, twenty years ago, at an age when most men are learners only, was an honoured Pro- fessor in the most flourishing medical school of Dublin. And, again, this year, Dublin gives us a distinguished mathematician and astronomer to fill the place vacant by the death of one whose loss will long mark a year too memorable for its many losses, the illustrious Professor Adams. The Republic of learning knows no distinction of country. (Applause.) The Rev. Dr. Henry Boyd, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, presenting the Oxford Address, said — The honourable duty has been entrusted to me of presenting the congratulations of the University of Oxford to Trinity College, Dublin. The present is an occasion which does indeed call for congratulations. Founded in the reign of one of the greatest Queens, known for her statesmanship, her courage, her love for learning, you are celebrating your Tercentenary in the reign of another Queen, her gracious Majesty 1 72 TER CENTENA RY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. Queen Victoria, who will ever be remembered as one who was pure and noble in life, sagacious in policy, devoted to the welfare of her people. Three hundred years seem a long time to look back upon ; but age has not robbed your University of any of her vigour. Looking back upon the records of the past, I recall the names of Ussher and Berkeley and Robert Boyle and Burke ; but at no period of her history has she had more sons distinguished for their attainments in all branches of learning, in theology, philosophy, history, natural science, than at the present time. A Dublin friend of mine, in writing to me some short time ago, spoke of this University as the ' Silent Sister ' — a phrase not unknown to your public orator yesterday, a phrase taken up, I see, in the daily papers, but a phrase, at any rate in these present days, applied with no good reason to your University ; for it seems to me that your University has the power of gifting her sons with an eloquence beyond that granted to us ordinary mortals. At any rate, we in Oxford do not consider the list of our select preachers complete unless we have secured the services of some of your distinguished members; and we feel that we owe you a deep debt of gratitude for the pleasure and the profit which we have derived from listening to such men as the Bishop of Meath and your present Provost ; and those that heard him will never forget the polished eloquence of the late Arch- bishop of York. The University of Oxford has always been bound by close ties of friendship to the University of Dublin. We accept your degrees as our own, we gladly welcome your sons amongst us, we rejoice in your prosperity, and I am proud, amongst many representatives of distinguished Universities from all parts of the world, to offer to you in the name of the University of Oxford our sincere and hearty congratulations on this auspicious occasion. (Applause.) The following are the Addresses presented : — From the London University. Universitas Londinensis Universitati Dublinensi S. P. D.

Nostra Academia quod extat, acceptum id referimus ei viro, cui ipsam quoque qua fruimur libertatem debemus, magno illi Guilielmo e gente Arausiaca, cuius nomen etiamnunc summo amore et reverentia prosequimur. At eadem erat mens eademque erant consilia Reginae vestrae Elisabethae ; cum iisdem hostibus conflictavit celsa ilia et generosa mulier, quae nulli viro secunda fuit ; ad eundem scopum per totum vitae suae curriculum summa constantia tetendit. Hinc etiam hocce Sanctae Trinitatis Collegium condidit, quod per tria saecula dignum se praestitit creatrice sua et etiamnunc priscam suam famam obtinet. Per longum illud trecentorum annorum spatium singulae artes atque disciplinae miris modis excreverunt et latius latiusque prolati sunt doctrinae humanae fines. Novi fontes detecti, novae viae ad verum indagandum apertae sunt, novae disciplinae sunt natae. Undique iam immensus patet musarum campus, quern nisi omnes civitates coniunctis viribus strenue excolerent, nimius profecto foret labor, nimis exigua prodiret messis. Commune hoc munus atque officium habent omnes omnium gentium universitates, et Vestrum quoque Collegium agros suos ostendere potest, unde laetissimae redundarunt segetes. Artissimo vinculo constricti sumus omnes quotquot sciendi amore verique studio flagramus, neque linguarum nostrarum sonis discrepantibus regionumve finibus quantumvis dissitis separari nos sinimus.

L'Universite de Lausanne a l'Universite de Dublin. Des Fetes universitaires qui se succedent depuis quelques annees se degage avec une vivacite croissante la conscience de la solidarite humaine. A Bologne, a. Mont- pellier, a. Lausanne, les representants des nationalites les plus diverses viennent de se tendre une main amie. Aujourd'hui, un meme appel fraternel nous arrive du pays qui, au sortir des tempetes de la Migration des peuples, a le premier fait entendre au Monde des messages de paix et de civilisation. En cel6brant le troisieme centenaire de sa fondation, l'Universite de Dublin nous ramene vers ce grand siecle de la reine Elisabeth ou l'Angleterre, debordante de vie, s'est laisse entrainer aux syntheses les plus hardies, ou elle a tente d'associer la Renaissance a la Reforme, la poesie a. la science, la philosophie a Taction, la liberte a la discipline, le reel au merveilleux, l'enthousiasme au calcul. L'effort de ce regne qui a determine l'ascendant du Nord sur le Midi et suscite' en Angleterre et en Irlande des problemes dont la solution preoccupe encore la generation actuelle, a donne a l'Universite de Dublin la tache, noble entre toutes, de travailler a la conciliation de deux races destinies a. se completer par l'union de leurs qualit6s. Les elans passionn6s et les intuitions poetiques de l'une, la solide 6nergie et la pratique perseverance de l'autre ont tour a tour exerc6 leur salutaire influence sur les hommes eminents sortis de la haute ecole de Dublin. C'est a la penetration reciproque de la spirituals celtique et de cette intelligence si nette du monde reel qui distingue le Saxon que nous devons la philosophie de Berkeley, la satire de Swift, la riante imagination de Goldsmith, l'entrainante 61oquence de Burke, et le lyrisme chatoyant de Moore. L'avenir tient sans doute en r6serve d'autres r6velations de cette ame nouvelle qui se forme sous les auspices de l'Alma Mater de Dublin. L'Universite de Lausanne les suivra avec une sympathique admiration et les saluera comme autant de precieuses metamorphoses du genie qui a deja valu au Monde les genereuses ardeurs de St. Colomban, la poesie inspiree des Bardes, l'ideal chevaleresque du moyen age.

It is very much regretted that it is impossible in this work to bring before the reader, by illustrations or facsimiles, the great beauty and elegance of design which these addresses externally pos- sess. They are now one and all deposited in the Library, in the Quin Room, in the large oaken chest in which they were placed in the Leinster Hall. Some are superbly bound in the shape of folios, but the majority are encased in morocco, or plush, or velvet rolls of elaborate and costly design. Their acquisition has added a new and rare treasure to the Library, which it will repay visitors to seek the privilege of examining.

The reason that these, and these only, are so printed is this : besides the original Addresses, duplicate printed copies were sent by the eight Universities from whom these addresses proceeded, and the editor was able to send these duplicates to the Press just as they were.

We desire to offer to you our hearty congratulations on the occasion of the Tercentenary of the University of Dublin, and to assure you that, although separated from you by many thousand miles of land and sea, we are one with you in love and reverence for our Alma Mater and in pride for the high place she has long held among the most distinguished seats of learning in Europe, which high place, as we cannot but know, has been made higher still by the achievements of those who are the leaders and teachers of the present generation of her students. We have a lively recollection of the days we spent within the walls of our old college and a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunities afforded us there of making acquaintance with the wisdom and learning of ancient and modern times. We beg to inform you that it is our purpose to perpetuate our sense of these benefits by founding in the University of Melbourne, with which many of us are incorporated, a gold medal or medals, to be identified by name with the University of Dublin, and to be annually bestowed as an encouragement here to the pursuit of some of the studies which are so successfully cultivated there. And thus we hope to establish among future generations a living link of sympathy with that great seat of learning where we have had the honour to be students. 2j6 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. As citizens of Victoria we remember with pride how large a share men who have been trained in Trinity College, Dublin, have had in the making of this Colony. The public careers of Sir William Foster Stawell, Sir Redmond Barry, Sir Robert Molesworth, Mr. Peter Lalor, and Dr. William Edward Hearn, to speak only of those who are no longer living, form no small part of the history of our adopted country ; and there is no university of the Old World with which the chief seat of learning in this Colony is more closely linked than our own. Of the five chancellors who have up to the present time presided over the University of Melbourne, three have been graduates of the University of Dublin. We ask you to accept the assurance of our heartfelt and respectful regard, in token whereof we here affix our signatures. Geo. Higinbotham, Chief Justice of Victoria.

The following affectionate message came by telegraph from our Australian alumni : — Alumni of Old Trinity, assembled at dinner to celebrate the Tercentenary, send loving greetings and hearty congratulations. Melbourne, fifth. Wrixon, Chairman Trinity College Dublin Tercentenary Dinner. The telegram from Professor Lucian Mueller, whose very kindly and warm-hearted reply to our invitation has been already given, was as follows : — Universitati Dublinensi trecentesimum natalem celebranti fausta omnia precatur Lucianus Mueller, Professor Petropolitanus. 238 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The Chancellor, in bringing the proceedings to a close, said — I do not intend to deliver an address, but I find that the duty now devolves on me of formally conveying on the part of the University of Dublin our hearty thanks to the numerous distinguished men who have come, individually or as Delegates, from all quarters of the world, and for the readiness with which, and with great trouble to them- selves, they have come to celebrate this most important event. Ireland lies on the edge of Europe. It is not a central place for a great meeting, and moreover science has not yet got over that great obstacle, sea-sickness ; but we see here to-day people from all parts of the world, even as far as New Zealand, and we beg to offer them all our most hearty thanks for their presence on this occasion. I will only add that the occasion is one of two-fold importance. On the one hand, we celebrate the antiquity of the institu- tion of this University of Dublin, an antiquity which has given strength and stability to a useful institution ; on the other hand, we wish to accentuate and draw the strongest attention to the fact that we in this institution take our part in and keep pace with the advancement of knowledge. To the Lord Mayor, and to the others who have given us assistance in conducting our movements through the streets, I beg to offer our heartiest thanks. The Provost has already acknowledged our indebtedness in this respect, and I need say no more. CHAPTER X. THIRD DAY'S PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED : LORD AND LADY WOLSELEY'S GARDEN PARTY— DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE BY THE STUDENTS — MR. EDWIN HAMILTON'S PROLOGUE— 'BOTANY BAY' — 'THE RIVALS.' FTER the long academic ceremonial recorded in the last chapter, a welcome rest and contrast was afforded by a most delightful Garden Party, given by the Commander of the Forces, Viscount Wolseley, k.p., ll.d., and Viscountess Wolseley, at the Royal Hospital, the official residence of the Commander- in-Chief. Lord Wolseley is one whom the University is proud to reckon among her sons, not only by early education, but by the bestowal on him of our honorary degree. During his official residence in Ireland, the relations between him and the University have been of the most cordial kind ; and the great interest he took in the Tercentenary was shown by his constant attendance at the several functions, as well as by this garden party, where he and the Viscountess welcomed the guests with that winning and genial manner which is so peculiarly their own. Nearly a thousand guests were present, who enjoyed strolling through the gardens, and 240 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. inspecting the various curiosities and treasures of the Hospital, the Chelsea of Ireland. The great Hall, one of the finest of the sort in the United Kingdom, was laid out as a refreshment room. The collection of arms, ancient and modern, which the room contains, and which formerly was kept in the Pigeon-house Fort, was atten- tively examined by many. The Chapel, with its fine roof and stained glass windows, was also thronged. The guests were much pleased with their inspection of the Hospital, and many conversed with some of the old pensioners, who fought their battles over again. The old Charter granted by Charles II. was examined with interest. After a delightful and instructive afternoon, the guests returned to the city at about six o'clock. Thursday's festivities concluded with a dramatic performance in the Gaiety Theatre. Mr. Gunn, the proprietor of the theatre, not only placed the theatre at the disposal of the College Dramatic Per/or- for the occasion, but did everything in his power J! tan , „, . to assist the Dramatic Committee. It was with Gaiety Theatre. this view that he engaged Mr. Compton's Comedy Company for the Tercentenary week, in order that the students might have the invaluable assistance of Miss Virginia Bateman (Mrs. Compton), and the other ladies of that Company. The scene presented by the house, packed in every part, was brilliant. The balcony, the pit stalls, and the second circle were fully occupied by the guests of the University and their hosts and hostesses in Dublin. The students, in evening dress, with academicals, filled the upper gallery. The many coloured robes of the learned professors, combined with the gay attire of the ladies, gave the theatre a re- splendent appearance, such as it had never worn before. The Lord Lieutenant arrived at 8 o'clock; and the National Anthem, God Save the Queen, was played by the orchestra and sung by the audience, all standing up, with immense enthusiasm. The scene was one to be remembered. DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE BY THE STUDENTS. 241 The fir^t piece was a farce called 'Botany Bay,' illustrative of College life, written expressly for the occasion hy Mr. Robert H. Woods, M.B., and Mr. Charles W. Wilson, B.A. In it the ways of Fellows, Students, and Skips* were smartly pourtrayed. Mr. Robert H. Woods, in the character of 'Mr. Nemo Dubedat Quinn,' introduced a song, a parody on the Colonel's song from ' Patience,' in which a receipt for a good Junior Dean, the most important official in College connected with internal discipline, was given. The receipt is to com- pound all the qualities of all the Fellows and Professors, whose virtues and failings are touched off mostly by being described as the opposite of what they really are, with a saturnalian freedom and cleverness. There were some hard enough hits ; but ' there was no offence in it,' and the farce went off successfully. The cast was as follows: — Mr. Arnold Keys, 1 {Cousins, occupying the ) Herbert Dudgeon. Mr. Giles Keys, \ same rooms in College.) I C. W. Russell. Mr. Nemo Dubedat Quinn, ) ((fcW . ( Robert H. Woods, m.b. Mr. Sheridan Cobbler, J students), ( T _ H HewitT- The Junior Dean, Chas. W. Wilson, b.a. Patrick Grimes {Skip to Messrs. Keys), . . H. W. D. Dunlop, M.A. Mrs. Larkin {another Skip) H. L. Geoghegan. Students, College Porters, etc. Then came the principal piece of the evening, ' The Rivals.' It was preceded by a very clever Prologue written by Mr. Edwin Hamilton, M.A., admirably spoken by Mr. Edward Compton : — ' The Silent Sister,' being now of age, Would test her new-found voice upon the stage ; And, if she fail to use aright her tongue, You must excuse her, she's so very young : Just thirty — decades ; while her Sisters — well, We know their ages, but we mustn't tell. * The time-honoured appellation of a student's servant in Trinity College, Dublin — the same as ' scout ' in Oxford, and ' gyp ' in Cambridge, from a fusion of which two words some philologers hold ' skip ' to be derived. 2 1 242 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. In Fifteen -ninety-two, when T.C.D. Began her hie haec hoc and rule-of-three, Adam was Provost — not the same, oh, no ; The man you mean was longer still ago. As Provost, Adam Loftus led the way ; His learned successors form a grand array, None more distinguished than we boast to-day. Three hundred years have modified the scene Since cattle grazed knee-deep in College-green ; Since Senior Fellows shared exciting sports, Bowls in the orchard, marbles in the courts ; Since Spenser's Muse, on pastoral effort bent, Along the Coombe for inspiration went ; Since Shakespeare strung the lyre by Avon's banks, And first began to be — ' declined with thanks.' About midway between that time and now We see the laurel crown on Goldsmith's brow. Warm-hearted scapegrace ! found in many a scene Which drew more groans than praises from the Dean : ' Dear me ; such pranks ! unless I can reclaim That Goldsmith scamp, he'll never make a name.' Meanwhile the Muse adopts a wiser plan, — She stoops to conquer the good-natured man. Could other pen than Sheridan's portray The men and manners of his later day ? To share to-night The Rivals' hopes and fears Will serve to link us with the bygone years ; And, at the outset, be it understood That honest Rivalry results in good. How best to court the many-lovered Muse, Whom all may win but such as fear to lose ; To fathom Nature, whether near or far, The meddling microbe or the stand-off star; i Bare-backed, buck-jumping Pegasus to ride, Or scale Parnassus from the steepest side. From known to unknown may we forward go, From do re mi to Oratorio ; Strike other scales, and harmonies reply — Eternal harmonies of x and y ; PROLOGUE BY MR. EDWIN HAMILTON. 243 And, though the circle still evade the square, Start with twice two and weigh the Little Bear. In such pursuits may Rivalry prevail. Success applauded most by those who fail. Our Comedy this moral comprehends : — Reputed Rivals may in truth be friends ; Ay, more than friends, since Alma Mater here Can boast Adopted Sons from far and near, And new-made Allies, men of deathless name Already blazoned on the Roll of Fame. May Peace and Learning, ever hand in hand, Unite the Citizens of every land. While man is man there must be side and side ; But, though opinion be diversified, We all may join to raise the heartfelt strain, 'God save our gracious Queen, long may Victoria reign!' The Prologue was received with clamorous applause, and the author was deservedly called before the curtain and cheered. The following was the cast in ' The Rivals ' : — Sir Anthony Absolute, . . . M. L. Griffin, m.b. Captain Absolute, .... J. Lumsden, b.A. Faulkland, Fred. E. Wynne. Bob Acres, R. Dowden. Sir Lucius O'Trigger, . . . Robert H. Woods, m.b. Fag H. J. Brownrigg. David, S. V. Jeffares. Coachman, J. Uunscombe. Servant, A. C. Duffey. Mrs. Malaprop, .... Miss Elinor Aicken. Julia, . . ... . . Miss Mary Allestree. Lucy Miss C. Lindsay. Lydia Languish, .... Miss Virginia Bateman (Mks. Edward Compton). The play was very well acted, and attested the careful preparation with which the actors had studied their parts. 244 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. The Orchestra, which was conducted by T. R. G. Joze, Mus. D., included the following Graduates and Undergraduates : — Fhite, . . H. M. Fitzgibbon. Clarinet, . W. P. Strangways. Bassoon, . R. W. W. Littledale. / A. Monroe. First Violins, \ L. Werner. ' R. A. Mitchell. Second Violins, . ( H. Irvine. ' 1 G. Flemyng Viola, . . H. Stokes. Cellos, l H. V. Yeo. ' ( P. C. Smyly.

Intermezzo on Airs by Balfe, .... Sir Robert Stewart, Mus. D. (Between Acts I. and II. of ' The Rivals.') Gavotte—' C C C,' T. R. G. Joze, Mus. D. (Between Acts II. and III. of ' The Rivals.') The Music was all by well-known Irish Composers : the two last pieces were specially composed for the occasion by Sir Robert Stewart, Mus. D., and T. R. G. Joze, Mus. D. V*>7? CHAPTER XI. FOURTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS: ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS— VISIT TO THE BUST OF PROVOST LLOYD — COLLEGE RACES — VISIT TO BIRR CASTLE — THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S BANQUET — THE UNIVERSITY BALL. HE last day began with a function which many con- sidered the most interesting of all. After the excite- ment of the three previous days our students were now to have the opportunity of calmly and leisurely enjoying the thoughtful eloquence of some of the most distinguished among our guests in the quiet of our own Examination Hall, with its composing surroundings and associations. The proceedings began at 1 1 o'clock, when the chair was taken by the Provost. The Hall was full. The dais and the front part of the Hall were occupied by those of our Fellows, Professors, and guests who were present : the main body of the Hall by students and graduates: the gallery was filled with ladies as on the day of the Commencements. The PROVOST formally opened the proceedings, and then called upon — Dr. Wilhelm Waldeyer, Professor of Anatomy in the University 246 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. of Berlin, the distinguished morphologist, who, addressing the assembly, said — Kommilitonen ! Mit dieser in Deutschland iiblichen Anrede wende ich mich an Sie, meine Herren Studierenden des alt-ehrwiirdigen Trinity College, um mich damit auf den Boden zu stellen, auf den das Verhaltniss zwischen Universitats-Lehrern und Universitats-Lernenden bei uns in Deutschland gegriindet ist. Lehrer und Lernende betrachten sich als gemeinsam auf dem Felde der Wissenschaft Arbeitende. In freier, selbstgewahlter Arbeit sollen Professoren und Studierende um die Wette ringen, einer den andern fordernd, anregend, unterstfltzend. Wenn wir Lehrer die Gebenden, Sie, meine Herren, die Empfangenden sind, so konnen Sie doch durch die Art und Weise, wie Sie das, was wir bieten, annehmen, auf uns erfrischend und anregend zuriickwirken. Es erfreut uns zu sehen, wenn das, was wir lehren, auf fruchtbaren Boden fallt ; es gibt uns dies Lust und Liebe zu immer neuer und immer besserer Arbeit ! Meine Herren Kommilitonen ! Schon vor langerer Zeit habe ich manche der englischen und schottischen Universitaten kennen gelernt, diesmal die irische Universitat des Trinity College in Dublin. Ich kann es offen aussprechen, dass mich Ihre Einrichtungen sehr befriedigt haben und dass ich iiberall ein eben so schones Verhaltniss zwischen Lehrenden und Lernenden gefunden habe, wie esbei uns besteht. Das hat auch seine gute Frucht getragen, wie die grosse Zahl der hervorragenden Manner beweist, welche aus dem Trinity College hervorgegangen sind, oder an ihm und den anderen irischen hoheren Unterrichts-Anstalten gewirkt haben. Nehme ich nur das von mir vertretene Fach, die Anatomie, so begegnen wir allein in der Stadt Dublin Mannern wie Macartney, Abraham Colles, John Houston, Arthur Jacob, deren Namen in der Wissenschaft unsterblich bleiben werden. Wenn ich der Lehrenden, welche hier wirkten und noch wirken, nicht gedenke, so wiirde doch ein einziger Blick in die gegenwartige anatomische Literatur Ihnen darthun, wie hoch auch diese iiberall geschatzt sind. Doch ich will nicht nur von den Lehrenden, sondern auch von den Lernenden sprechen. Meine Beschaftigung mit der englischen Literatur zeigt mir da zur Genuge, dass Ihrer Lehrer Worte im Bereiche der anatomischen Disciplinen auf fruchtbaren Boden fallen. Eine ganze Reihe tiichtiger Arbeiten sind auf dem genannten Gebiete von britischen Studenten der Medicin und jungen Doctoren veroffentlicht worden. Es zeigt dies, dass in britischen Landen die gute Tradition, welche von Mannern wie Thomas Willis, William Harvey, Charles Bell, John und William Hunter ausgeht, aufrecht erhalten wird. Die Namen dieser Manner kann ich Ihnen, meine Herren Studierenden vom Trinity College, zum Vorbilde nennen ; mogen Sie ein Fach gewahlt haben, welches Sie wollen, diese Manner nennt jeder Britte mit Stolz. ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS. 247 Ahmen Sie, meine jungen Freunde, ihnen nach, ein Jeder nach besten Kraften ; dann werden die Festtage des Trinity-College-Tercentenary ihre schonste Frucht bringen ! I hope, my young friends, that you will also come some day or other to Germany ; I can say to you, that you will be heartily welcome ! Professor Cremona, of Rome, the eminent Mathematician, next delivered an address in Italian. He said — Giovani Studenti, Se tra i benemeriti membri del Comitato per queste indimenticabili feste di Dublino, si fosse trovato un mio nemico personale, il quale m'avesse voluto fare un mal tiro, credo che non avrebbe imaginato nulla di piu pericoloso, insidioso di quello che m' e capitato : di dover parlare a voi, insieme con uomini cosl illustri, veri principi non solo del sapere ma anche della parola, come Waldeyer, Blass, Vambery, Max Miiller, etc. Io accettai 1' invito offertomi, quando ero ancora a Roma, ignaro dell' insidia e del pericolo ; e dovetti accettarlo perche, avendo io dichiarato che m'era impossibile di parlare in inglese, mi fu rinnovato 1' invito colla risposta che non era necessario di parlare in inglese, e che io avrei potuto servirmi del latino o dell' italiano. Queste spiegazioni valgano a salvarmi dalla taccia di temerita ed a farmi perdonare se parlo nella mia lingua patria. Giovani egregi, voi siete felici, forse senza saperlo, appunto perche giovani : felici d' essere nati cittadini di un impero che e il piu potente, il piu ricco, il piu rispettato e oserei dire il piu civile del mondo intero, — e nati in un tempo in cui la liberta e la giustizia regnano sovrane, senza privilegi di fede, di razza, di casta. Di questa vostra felicita. pu6 subito convincervi la storia, mostrandovi quanto sangue, quanti dolori, quante lotte, quante sventure costo, per lunghi secoli, il trionfo ancora recente della liberta e della giustizia. I vostri padri hanno fondato questo Impero, il quale ajutato dalla lingua che diviene di piu in piu universale, pud solo compararsi all' antico Romano ; ai figli spetta di conservarlo e continuare a tenerlo, come ora e, rispettato, onorato, amato da tutte le nazioni libere o aspiranti a liberta. Come le vostre istituzioni siano universalmente onorate, voi l'avete veduto in questi giorni : e tra le nazioni che piu onorano ed amano il vostro Impero dovete contare l'ltalia. La strettezza del tempo non mi consente di enumerare tutt' i benefici che 1' Italia riconosce dall' Impero britannico, — anzi nemmeno di ricordare i vincoli che in vari tempi essa ebbe colla vostra Irlanda. Se io potessi, comincerei dall' evocare quei tempi remoti nei quali, per virtu di un' antichissima coltura nativa e per influenza della civilta romana e del cristianesimo, 1' Irlanda era alia testa del progresso intellettuale, quando quest' isola merito d' essere chiamata terra deiSanti, quando dai suoi conventi, officine del sapere, uscirono generosi apostoli ad evangelizzare tutta Europa, compresa 248 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. l'ltalia che ebbe vescovi irlandesi a Bobbio, a Fiesole, a Taranto, etc. Ed evo- cando quelle memorie, a me italiano piacerebbe ricordare, fra tanti altri fatti, il viaggio nell' Atlantico di St. Brendan, che fu il precursore del nostro Colombo in quella immortale scoperta di un nuovo mondo di cui ricorre in quest' anno il quarto centenario. Ma non ho tempo ne competenza per abbandonarmi a cotali ricordi, che rendono per noi Italiani attraentissima V antica storia dell' Irlanda. E saltando agli ulti- missimi tempi e ai nostri giorni, dird che V Italia deve e sente gratitudine verso l'lrlanda, per la luce scientifica che di qui emana, perche i vostri Maestri, o giovani egregi, sono anche i Maestri de' giovani italiani, i quali tra i loro libri ne studiano parecchi usciti dalla Dublin University Press. Poiche ne ho 1' occasione, mi sia concesso di farvi udire, per bocca d'uno straniero, come i vostri Maestri passati e presenti siano apprezzati e tenuti in grande onore nelle Universita del Continente. Duolmi di non avere alcuna autorita per menzionare coloro che si sono illustrati nelle discipline filologiche e storiche e in altri campi, e di dovermi ristringere ai matematici di Dublino o dell' Irlanda. Sapete, o giovani, che il nome di Sir William Rowan Hamilton, il geometra-poeta, il creatore dei quaternioni, il promotore della dinamica, il fondatore della teoria dei sistemi di raggi, e famoso in tutte le scuole e presso tutte le nazioni ? Cosi tutti ammirano James Mac Cullagh pei suoi scritti originali di geometria, di meccanica, di ottica fisica ; cosi sono chiari da per tutto i nomi di George Boole per le sue opere sulle equazioni differenziali e sulF analisi matematica della logica ; di Robert Carmichael pel suo Calculus of operations ; di James Booth che fu uno de' primi a trattare ampiamente le curve e le superficie colle coordinate taugenziali ; di Richard Townsend autore di un elegantissimo trattato di geometria moderna etc. etc. E mi sia concesso di fare violenza alia modestia di persone qui presenti, dicendovi che il vostro beneamato Provost Dr. George Salmon non e soltanto un profondo teologo, ma eziandio egli e il piu popolare de' matematici in tutto il mondo, come il suo amico Arthur Cayley di Cambridge e il piu universale e fecondo. Dr. Salmon e stato il primo a introdurre le coordinate omogenee ed i metodi moderni della geometria in trattati completi, divenuti classici, che sono ancora oggi i piu perfetti per eleganza, limpidezza ed efficacia : trattati che ebbero la prima generale accoglienza nelle scuole italiane, e subito dopo in Germania merce le ampie traduzioni del benemerito Fiedler, indi in Francia e altrove. Tutt' i geometri viventi sono discepoli di George Salmon ; ed io sono lieto di ricordare quanto debbo alio studio dei libri del vostro venerato Provost, dai quali appresi le nuove vie della scienza. Ne posso tacere del geniale Astronomo Reale d' Irlanda, Sir Robert Stawell Ball, degno successore di Hamilton, al quale devesi 1' odierno progresso della cinematica merce la sua bellissima Theory of screws . Con questi nomi debbo menzionare quello del venerando Graves, vescovo di Limerick, che primo apprezzo e fece conoscere le celebri memorie di Chasles sui coni e sulle coniche sferiche ; e quello d'un altro ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS. 249 geometra, benemerito della scienza per eccellenti memorie sulle curve e superficie di quart' ordine, John Casey, che non e piu tra i vivi, ma che io ebbi la fortuna di conoscere di persona, insieme con molti altri felicemente presenti, quando nel 1884, per ospitale invito dell' ottimo e illustre archeologo, Sir Samuel Ferguson (il quale pure e stato tolto a questa vita ed alia scienza, ma sopravvive nella degna sua Vedova), visitai per la prima volta la vostra citta. Ne e da dimenticare il defunto Provost, John Jellett, la cui teoria dell' attrito e universalmente apprezzata. E tra i viventi vostri maestri hanno acquistato bella fama Samuel Haughton, Benjamin Williamson, W. S. Burnside, Panton, Tarleton, &c. A tutti questi uomini, che ci ho menzionati a titolo d'onore, voi, cari giovani, dovete gratitudine perche essi hanno fondata, mantenuta, estesa la riputazione del vostro Ateneo ; sicche in ogni angolo del mondo civile il Trinity College di Dublino e rispettato come uno dei piu insigni centri di produzione e diffusione del sapere. Rallegratevi, o giovani, che la vostra Alma Mater riscuota oggi 1' omaggio de' rappresentanti di tutt' i centri della scienza. A voi io porto il saluto dell' antica Italia che, dopo aver gemuto per secoli sotto la doppia tirannide, e da poco risorta a nuova vita ; vi porto gli augurj de' professori e degli studenti italiani per la prosperity del vostro celebre Trinity College e per la prosperita. di voi stessi e della vostra patria. Possiate voi, quando sarete uomini maturi, nel pieno esercizio de' vostri diritti civili e politici, ricordarvi di questa grande festa della scienza e trarne inspirazione per contribuire agli sforzi diretti a stabilire sulle basi della liberta e della giustizia la pace e la concordia fra le nazioni civili : pace e concordia che e il piu alto fine delle scienze come condizione sine qua non della felicita del genere umano. Se un giorno questo voto avra per opera vostra un principio di esecuzione, il Trinity College di Dublino avra scritta la pagina piu gloriosa di tutta la sua storia, ed essa sari scritta per mano vostra. Salute a voi, o studenti della nobile UniversitA Dublinense ! Professor Max Muller, of Oxford, the well-known Philologer, next came forward, and was received with loud applause. He said — I have long been in the habit of dividing my friends and acquaintances — nay, the whole human race — into two classes — people with bright eyes and people with dark eyes. By bright eyes I do not mean those kindly, twinkling eyes in which no country, I believe, is richer than Ireland ; nor do I mean by dark eyes the people who try to scowl you out of existence. I mean by bright eyes the people who seem to have eyes for all that is bright and good, and by dark eyes the people who see nothing but what is dark and bad. Of course, there is an intermediate class of well-balanced intellects, to which all of us here present belong, but they are the result of a long discipline, and I am speaking at present of natural dispositions only. You all know the men I mean 2K 250 TER CENTENA RY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF D UBLIN. by dark eyes and bright eyes. If you walk with them through a picture gallery, the dark eyes see nothing in a Giotto but what is stiff and out of perspective ; the bright eyes admire even the unsuccessful efforts of the devout painter, if only the thought and the intention were noble and good. If you take them to a concert, the dark eyes delight in detecting every wrong note ; the bright eyes are so absorbed in following the spirit of a symphony of Beethoven that not even a wrong note will ever disturb their rapture. If you come out of church, the dark eyes will tell you at once all the things that the preacher ought not to have said, while the bright eyes are sure to have discovered some grains of gold, even if hidden under a heavy heap of rubbish. We all know how often the same book is praised to the skies by one review, and trampled under foot by another. That, again, is due to the bright eyes, or to the dark eyes, of the reviewer, if not to something else to which we must not allude in public. Nowhere, however, can we observe the influence of the good or the evil eye more clearly than in the judgments passed on the various religions of the world. Some of you here present may know that during the last sixteen years I have been engaged, in connexion with some friends, in bringing out a large collection of translations of the sacred books of the East. Forty volumes are published and eight more are to follow. Still, this is only a drop in the ocean . In the numerous reviews which this collection of the sacred books of the East has elicited, the tendency of critics to see the dark or the bright side only has been very conspicuous. According to some, these sacred books deserved no translation at all. They were pronounced mere rubbish, of no earthly interest to anybody — nay, according to some .theologians, even dangerous and offensive. Accord- ing to other critics, however, they were treasures of primaeval wisdom, full of truth and light, and not inferior to our own sacred books. It seems very difficult for the followers of any religion to admit a single weak point in their own sacred books, and equally difficult to admit anything true and good in the sacred writings of other religions. It is only a man so strongly grounded in his own faith as St. Augustine was who could venture to say, as he did, that there was no religion which does not contain some truth — a confession all the more startling if we consider by what religions St. Augustine found himself surrounded. Eastern philosophers look upon what I called the bright eye— that is, the power of discovering what is good, even when it is hidden by what is vile and corrupt — as an almost divine gift, and Nizami, a Persian poet, who died in 1180 A.D., tells an old parable to illustrate the belief. 'The Lord Jesus, when He walked on earth, once passed a market place. A dead dog lay on the road, dragged before the door of a house. A crowd had gathered round the dead beast, as vultures gather round a carcase. One said, " My brain is quite overcome by the stench." Another said, " What is the use ? the contents of the grave bring misfortune upon us ! " Thus everyone sang his own song, full of loathing for the dead dog. But when the turn of the Lord Jesus came, He spoke without loathing, kindly from His kind heart. " Look at the teeth," He said, " they are white like precious pearls." This word made all who were present hot with shame, like shells glowing with fire.' (Shells were burnt ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS. 251 in the East for making mortar.) In the short space allotted to me, I wish to read you a few very short extracts only from the Sacred Books of the East. It is not asking very much when I ask you to look upon them at least as the white teeth of a dead dog — white teeth which, in the bright eyes of divine love and wisdom, may seem like precious pearls. If we except the Jewish and the Christian religions, there are but seven religions in the whole world which have preserved the sacred books on which they profess to be founded. They all come from the East, for whatever the West may have done for us, the mother of all religions has been the East. These seven religions are — (1) The religion of the Brahmins; (2) the religion of the followers of Buddha; (3) the religion of the followers of Jina, the Jainas ; (4) the religion of the followers of Zarathushtra ; (5) the religion of the followers of Confucius ; (6) the religion of the followers of Laotze ; (7) the religion of the followers of Mohammed. Neither Greeks, nor Romans, nor Germans, nor Celts, nor Slavs have left us any- thing that deserves the name of sacred books. And the same applies to Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Phoenicians. I shall confine my short extracts to what may be called prayers addressed to the old deities by their worshippers. I leave it to you whether it is possible for us to join in some of these devotional utterances. And first, an ancient Egyptian prayer to Amon, translated by Professor Le Page Renouf — ' I come to thee, O lord of the gods, who hast existed from the beginning, eternal God, who hast made all things that are. Thy name be my protection ; prolong my term of life to a good age ; may my son be in my place (after me) ; may my dignity remain with him (and his) for ever, as is due to the righteous who is glorious in the house of his lord. Who, then, art thou, O my father Amon ? Doth a father forget his son ? Surely a wretched lot awaiteth him who opposes thy will ; but blessed is he who knoweth thee, for thy deeds proceed from a heart full of love. I call upon thee, O my father Amon ! behold me in the midst of many people unknown to me ; all nations are united against me, and I am alone ; no other is with me. My many warriors have abandoned me, none of my horsemen hath looked towards me, and when I called them, none hath listened to my voice. But I believe that Amon is worth more to me than a million of warriors, than a hundred thousand horsemen, and ten thousand of brothers and sons, even were they all gathered together. The work of many men is nought ; Amon will prevail over them ' ! This, after all, is not so very different in spirit from some of the Psalms of the Old Testament. The next prayer is taken from the Veda, the sacred book of the Brahmins, perhaps the oldest book in the world. It is addressed to a god called Varuna, who bears the same name as Ouranos in Greek — ' Let me not yet, O Varuna, enter into the house of clay (the grave) ; have mercy, almighty, have mercy ! If I go along unsteady, like a cloud driven by the wind, have mercy, almighty, have mercy ! Through want of strength have I gone to the wrong shore ; have mercy, almighty, have mercy ! Thirst came upon the worshipper, though he stood in the midst of the waters ; have mercy, almighty, have mercy ! Whenever we men, O Varuna, commit an offence before the heavenly host, whenever we break thy law through 252 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. thoughtlessness, have mercy, almighty, have mercy ' ! This is a very simple prayer, but it clearly shows a consciousness of sin, and a belief in divine mercy. These two ideas come out even more strongly in the next hymn, likewise addressed to Varuna — ' Take away far from me this terror, O Varuna ! O righteous king, have mercy on me ! Like as a rope from a calf, remove from me my sin ; for away from thee I am not master even of the twinkling of an eye. Do not strike us, O Varuna, with weapons which at thy will hurt the evil-doer. Let us not go where the light has vanished ! Scatter our enemies, that we may live ! We did formerly, O Varuna, and do now, and shall in future also sing praises to thee, O mighty one. For on thee, O unconquerable hero, rest all laws, immovable, as if established on a rock. Move far away from me all self- committed guilt, and may I not, O king, suffer for what others have committed ! Many dawns have not yet dawned ; grant us to live in them, O Varuna.' I wish I could give you more extracts from the Veda, but I must hurry on. The next prayer is from the Avesta, the sacred code of the Zoroastrians, the modern Parsis — ' Blessed is he, blessed is everyone to whom Ahura Mazda (Ormuzd), ruling by his own will, shall grant the two everlasting blessings — health and immortality. For this very boon I beseech thee, mayest thou through thy angel of Piety, give me happiness, the good and true things, and the possession of the good mind (the holy spirit). I believe thee to be the best being of all, the source of light for the world. Everyone shall believe in thee as the source of light, in thee, O Mazda, most beneficent spirit ! Thou hast created all good and true things by means of the power of thy good mind always, and hast promised us a long life. I will believe thee to be the powerful benefactor, O Mazda. For thou givest with thy hand, filled with supports. Thou who art good to the righteous man as well as to the wicked, by means of the warmth of fire strengthen- ing all good things. (For this reason the vigour of the good mind has fallen to my lot.) Thus I have believed in thee, O Ahura Mazda ! as the promoter of all that is good ; because I beheld thee to be the primaeval cause of life in creation. Thou who hast rewards for deeds and words, hast given evil to the evil, and good to the good. (I will believe in thee, O Ahura, in the last period of the world.) In whatever period of my life I believed in thee, O Mazda, munificent spirit, in that thou earnest with wealth and with the good mind, through whose actions our settlements thrive' ! I cannot give you any prayers from the Buddhist Scriptures, for the simple reason that prayers, in the usual sense of the word, or petitions addressed to the Deity, are not tolerated by the Buddhists. In the ancient sacred literature of China also we look in vain for real prayers. There is a common saying of Confucius which seems to express the general Chinese conception of the relation of men to God. ' Reverence the spirits,' he says, 'but keep at a distance from them.' In more modern times, however, the Emperor is expected to address a prayer to the God of Heaven. I shall give you a few extracts from it :— ' To thee, O most mysteriously working Maker, I look up in thought. How imperial is the expansive arch where thou dwellest. Thy servant, I am but a reed or a willow, my heart is but as that of an ant ; yet have I received thy favouring decree, ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS. 253 appointing me to the government of the empire. Far distant here, I look up to thy heavenly palace. Thy servant, I bow my head to the earth, reverently expecting thy abundant grace. Thou hast vouchsafed, O God, to hear us, for thou regardest us as a father. I, thy child, dull and unenlightened, am unable to show forth my dutiful feelings. I thank thee that thou has accepted the intimation. Honourable is thy great name. With reverence we spread out these gems, and, as swallows rejoicing in the spring, we praise thine abundant love ! ' For an Emperor of China this is very creditable. The next specimen is taken from a famous chapter from the Koran—' God, there is no God but he, the living, the self-subsistent. Slumber takes him not, nor sleep. He is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Who is it that intercedes with him save by his permission ? He knows what is before them and what behind them, and they comprehend not aught of his knowledge but of what he pleases. His throne extends over the heavens, the earth, and it tires him not to guard them both, for he is high and great.' The last extract shall be from a prayer that may be heard in India to the present day — ' Whatsoever has been made God made. Whatsoever is to be made God will make. Whatsoever is, God maketh ; then why do any of you disquiet yourselves ? I believe that God made man, and that he maketh everything. He is my friend. O, foolish one, God is not far from you. He is near you. You are ignorant, but he knoweth everything, and is careful in bestowing. He that believeth not in the one God hath an unsettled mind ; he will be in sorrow, though in the posses- sion of riches ; but God is without price. God is my clothing and my dwelling. He is my ruler, my body, and my soul. God ever fostereth his creatures, even as a mother serves her offspring, and keepeth it from harm. O God, who art the truth, grant me contentment, love, devotion, and faith. Thy servant prayeth for true patience, and that he may ever be devoted to thee.' Surely our hearts ought to beat with joy whenever we meet with such prayers in the Sacred Books of the East. A sudden brightness seems to spread over the darkest valleys of the earth when we read them. We should learn from them that no human soul was ever quite forgotten, and that the rays of eternal truth can pierce even through the darkest clouds of superstition. I am quite aware how easy it is to find fault with these childish gropings, and how readily people join in a laugh when some strange and to us grotesque expression is pointed out in the ancient prayers of mankind. We know how easy it is to pass from the sublime to the ridiculous, and nowhere is this more the case than in religion. Here, too, we want bright eyes, if we wish to understand the often childish language of reli- gious devotion. I shall quote in conclusion one more legend from a Persian poet, Jellaladin, who lived about the same time as Nizami, from whom I quoted before the legend of the dead dog. He may perhaps teach those who come to scoff at the Sacred Books of the East, to take off their shoes and pray, even in the temples of strange religions, for this, too, is holy ground. Jellaladin was a true poet, a mystic poet, and one who had discovered for himself what was the deepest secret of all religions. This is the legend which he tells of Moses : ' Moses once heard a shepherd praying as G "^S 254 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. follows, "O God, show me where Thou art, that I may become Thy servant. I will clean Thy shoes and comb Thy hair, and mend Thy coat, and fetch Thee milk." When Moses heard him praying in this senseless manner he rebuked him saying, " O foolish one, though your father was a Mussulman, you have become an infidel. God is a spirit and needs not such gross ministrations as in your ignorance you suppose." The shep- herd was abashed at his rebuke, and tore his garments and fled away into the desert. Then a voice from Heaven was heard saying: " O Moses, wherefore have you driven away My servant ? Your office is to reconcile My people with Me, not to drive them away from Me. I have given to each race different usages and forms of praising and adoring Me. I have no need of their praises, being exalted above all such needs. I regard not the words that are spoken, but the heart that offers them. I do not require fine words, but a burning heart. Men's ways of showing devotion to Me are various, but so long as the devotions are genuine they are accepted. " ' Here we see once more the meaning of bright eyes of divine pity. We all are born with bright eyes, but as we grow older they are apt to grow dim and dull and dark. All I can say to you, the young students of this old University, is, keep your eyes bright as long as you can. It is better to have trusted and to have been deceived than never to have trusted at all. Professor Leroy-Beaulietj, of the Institute of France, was also loudly applauded on coming forward. He said — Messieurs, Je vous remercie de vos applaudissements ; permettez-moi, non de les retenir pour ma personne, ce qui, certes, serait injuste, mais de les reporter a la nation que je represente. Ce n'est pas a moi que devait revenir l'honneur de prendre la parole devant les etudiants de Dublin au nom des Fran9ais qui sont vos h6tes. Cette mission incombait de droit a. un homme qui y 6tait designe naturellement par le grand succes de sa carriere etl'6tendue de son experience, M. Leon Say. Retenu en ce moment a Paris par d'importantes discussions au Parlement sur notre regime de credit, M. Leon Say n'a pu venir a Dublin. Les delegues francais m'ont prie de pren- dre la parole a sa place. Je represente ici, messieurs, une science a laquelle on a adresse bien des critiques, l'economie politique et la science sociale. Un de vos grands hommes, Carlyle, l'a appelee, dans un de ses jours d'humeur maussade, la science lugubre. Les grands hommes ont parfois d'etranges facons de traiter les connaissances qui leur sont etrangeres et qui n'exercent pas d'attraction sur leur esprit. L'economie politique serait une science lugubre, dismal science, parce que, ayant a traiter des problemes les plus compliques, les plus importants pour l'humanite, elle ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS. 255 n'est pas arrived a les resoudre tous ; parce que ses conseilsqui, d'ailleurs, ne sont que mediocrement 6cout6s, soit par lesgouvernements, soit par les administrations, soitpar les individus, ne sont pas encore parvenus a etablir dans la societ6 une Concorde inalt6ree et a y supprimer la misere. Heureusement, messieurs, un autre de vos hommes 6minents venait tout a l'heure me fournir un argument pour combattre le jugement sommaire de Carlyle. L'illustre professeur Max Muller, dans son allocution d' il y a un instant, avec cette vivante originalite qui caracterise tout ce qu'il ecrit et tout ce qu'il dit, divisait les hommes en deux categories : ceux qui ont des bright eyes, des yeux brillants, et ceux qui ont des dark eyes, des yeux sombres. Ceux-ci ne voient tout que sous les couleurs les plus noires : tout leur est pr6texte a lamentation. Les premiers ont une vue plus sereine et plus equitable ; ils sont frappes de ce qu'ils apercoivent de beau et de bien ; ils ne s'attachent pas uniquement a. signaler les fautes et a s'en faire un sujet de perp6tuelle indignation. II serait a d6sirer que, en contemplant la soci£te humaine, on n'eiit pas de parti pris des dark eyes, une vue assombrie et irritee. Certes, nous ne demandons pas que, en face de ce milieu si complexe, ou le bien et le mal se cotoient et se melent, on ait toujours des bright eyes, c'est-a-dire un parti pris de sourire et de s'applaudir uniquement des progres, sans s'inquieter des maux encore a supprimer. Ce qui serait bon,raisonnable et efficace, ce serait de garder le milieu entre le pessi- misme des uns et l'optimisme des autres : Medium inter utrumque tene. La soci6t6 humaine, a tous les points de vue, a ete prodigieusement amelior6e, non seulement par comparaison avec les jours primitifs de l'humanite, mais meme depuis 1'origine reeente de la soci6t6 moderne, a savoir la fin du xvm e siecle. A ces progres sensibles et indeniables, la science que j'ai l'honneur de professer, l'6conomie politique, a singulierement contribue\ Non pas seule, assur6ment, mais aidee de toutes les sciences physiques et des sciences morales, elle a, cependant, plus que toute autre, collabore au triomphe, dans la society moderne, de la liberte et de la responsabilite de la personne humaine. C'est encore sa mission de defendre et cette responsabilite et cette liberte 1 . Beaucoup d'esprits a l'heure presente, soit 6gar6s, soit chimeriques, revent d'assu- jettir I'individu a une nouvelle servitude, de substituer a la responsabilite individuelle la responsabilite collective, de garrotter l'homme dans des liens aussi 6troits que ceux que les efforts successifs de tant de generations humaines sont parvenus, hier seulement, a briser. Messieurs, je n'ai pas de conseils a vous donner. Vous avez des maitres qui ont fait leurs preuves par l'etendue de leurs connaissances et le succes de leurs ouvrages, le professeur Ingram, le professeur Bastable, d'autres encore. Si, cependant, ma voix devait vous laisser un enseignement, ce serait celui-ci : Ne croyez pas que tout soit mauvais dans la society presente ; que la vue incertaine du but lointain ne vous fasse pas oublier les laborieuses etapes du chemin parcouru ; ne 2 5 6 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. dedaignez pas les grandes et pr6cieuses forces morales, la liberte, la responsabilite, l'initiative individuelle, qui nous ont valu tant d'ameliorations. On dit souvent sur le continent, en France notamment, que les Anglais sont des originaux. Si je repete ce jugement de la foule continentale a votre 6gard, c'est qu'il constitue, a. mes yeux, le plus grand eloge que Ton puisse faire d'une nation. Je souhaite a tous ceux que j'aime, individus et peuples, qu'on puisse dire d'eux qu'ils sont des originaux, c'est-a-dire qu'ils ont des idees personnelles, qu'ils voient par leurs propres yeux et non pas par ceux du public, qu'ils ne s'abandonnent pas com- pletement a la mode, en se laissant aller a la derive au courant dominant, mais qu'ils ne cedent a ce courant que dans la mesure toujours restreinte oil il est rationnel et 16gitime : c'est en cela que consiste la veritable puissance intellectuelle. Cette mode et ce courant avec leur exageration, existent dans la sphere economique et sociale comme dans toutes les autres spheres. II y a certainement bien des miseres a soulager, bien des defaillances a prevenir. II n'en resulte pas que Ton doive recourir a. des specifiques. La medecine con- temporaine, pour triompher de souffrances locales, pour endormir des douleurs passageres, a decouvert toutes sortes de remedes, la morphine par exemple, qui n'attenuent des maux transitoires qu'a la condition d'affaiblir l'organisme tout entier. II faut sans cesse doubler la dose de ces specifiques, et l'affaiblissement general devient progressif. Beaucoup de gens vantent pour la societe, et notamment contre la misere, des re- medes qui sont les Equivalents de la morphine . La legere amelioration, plutot apparente que reelle qu'on en attend, serait achetee parl'engourdissement general et progressif de l'organisme social et de l'organisme humain. A ce traitement qui devrait etre rendu chaque jour plus intense, de meme que l'usage de la morphine, la society perdrait prodigieusement ; au bout de deux ou trois generations, elle serait dans la meme situation que les ' morphinomanes.' Messieurs, avant de me rasseoir, permettez-moi de vous dire les sentiments intimes que vous m'avez fait eprouver. II est des heures dans la vie ou Ton se demande si toute la peine que Ton a prise, tous les longs efforts que l'on a faits pour ajouter un mince contingent d'observations nouvelles a l'immense tresor intellectuel de l'humanite, n'ont pas ete de la peine et des efforts perdus. En ces jours de doute et d'anxiete, s'il vous vient de loin, d'amis inconnus et competents, une marque spontanee et imprevue d'approbation, c'est un reconfortant, c'est un nouveau courage qui vous vient au coeur, c'est un nouveau sang qui s'infuse dans les veines. L'Universite de Dublin, en me conferant, il y a quelques jours, le titre de docteur honoraire, en meme temps qu'clle me faisait un grand honneur, m'a rendu ce precieux, cet estimable service. Aussi, messieurs, c'est le cceur emu, l'esprit confiant et joyeux, que je remercie l'Universite de Dublin. ADDRESSES TO STUDENTS. 257 Professor Blass, of the University of Kiel, next delivered an address. He had, he said, at first intended to address the students in Latin, but being told that English would be preferred by the audience, as a matter of fact his address was partly in English, partly in Latin. We are, however, enabled to print here the address which he had originally prepared : — Commilitones doctissimi atque humanissimi ! Mihi quoque munus iniunctum est ab eis quibus haec curae sunt, ut apud Vos hoc die verba facerem. Latine loquor, Latine autem sic ut didici ; quippe vestram pronuntiandi rationem neque didici neque facile possum imitari. Ignoscite quaeso auresque mihi benevolenter benigneque praebete. Litteras domi profiteor Graecas Latinasque, ipsasque linguas ; verum si profited est scire perhibere, vereor ne nimis magno modo locutus sim. Contra recte me ante hos paucos menses in oratione aliqua, quam in aula Universitatis nostrae habui hoc locutum esse puto ; videri nos Graece scire, nonullos bene scire, at re vera ne unum quidem esse qui tarn bene Graece sciat, quam Anglice is scire possit, qui in hac vestra terra per decern annos commoratus etiam litteris Anglicis operam dederit. Ego quo- que mihi nihil praeter ceteros arrogo, ipso usu atque experientia edoctus, quam multa in lingua Graeca aut ignoraverim ignoremque, aut cum aliquando didicissem post modo oblitus sim. Nam sicut corpora nostra etiam scientiae nostrae, ut verissime Plato docet, mortales sunt, neque conservari possunt nisi hac una ratione, ut et in corporibus in locum decedentis particulae statim alia succedat, et scientia oblivione evanescens memoria semper renovetur. Quare doctum hominem nihil magis decet quam modestia, nihil magis dedecet quam iactantia sui, qua quidem declarat se ne principium quidem philosophandi adhuc assecutum esse. Nostis enim Socratem parentem ilium philosophiae, cum sapientissimus omnium a Delphico deo pronuntiatus esset, rationem eius oraculi scitissime aperuisse : ceteri enim, inquit ille, non solum ignorant pariter atque ego, sed etiam ignorare se ignorant ; ego autem cum hoc unum sciam, hac certe scientia ceteris praesto. Hoc igitur ille tamquam fundamentum omnis philosophiae posuit, conscientiam ignorandi ; neque vero hoc fundamento posito deinceps superstrui potest $otoi\o., LL.D., Adams, Rev.

The following account of the celebration of the Centenary is carefully taken from the College Registry of 169}. It has been already published in the ' History of Trinity College,' by Rev. J. W. Stubbs, D.D., pp. 136-138, in nearly the same form : — " Ann : Dfli 1693, Dec. 30 . It was order'd that the Bursar shou'd lay out so much money as shou'd be found necessary, in order to prepare matters for the ninth of January. "Ann : Dni 169 J, Jan. 9. This being the first SScular day since the foundation of this University, it was observed with great solemnity. The order and method of the Ceremony was published the day before, in y e following form :t — In the morning there was a solemn service (preces sollenniores) in the Chapel and a sermon. At 2 P.M., after a musical instrumental performance, an oration was made by Peter Browne, * Acted also on Ball Committee. t This much and the concluding paragraph are in English in the Register : the rest is in Latin. The Latin lines describing the various exercises seem, as Dr. Stubbs remarks, to have been mottoes or texts, all very well chosen. 320 TERCENTENARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. F.T.C., containing a panegyric in honour of Queen Elizabeth: ' Dea nobis haec otia fecit.' Dominus Maude, Fellow Commoner, followed with a Carmen Seculare in Latin hexameters — ' Aspice venture laetentur ut omnia seclo sequitur ramis insignis olivae.' Then Benjamin Pratt, F.T.C., followed with praise of King James the First : ' Munificentissimi Academic auctoris;' ' Pariter pietate vel armis egregii.' William Carr, F.T.C., commemorated the Chancellors of the University during the preceding century — 'Nee nos iterum meminisse pigebit Elisae.' Sir Richard Gethinge followed with an English poem in memory of the illustrious foundress of the College. Robert Mossom, F.T.C., delivered a Latin oration in praise of Charles the First and Charles the Second— ' Heu pietas, heu prisca fides . . . . . . Amavit nos quoque Daphnis.' Then followed'a recitation of some pastoral verses by Mr. Tighe and Mr. Denny, Fellow Com- moners, bearing upon the revival of the University by William and Mary — ' Jam fides et pax, et honor pudorque Priscus, et neglecta redire Virtus Audet.' A'thanksgiving'ode was then sung, accompanied by instrumental music. A grateful commemoration of the benefits which the City of Dublin had conferred upon the University, by Richard Baldwin, F.T.C. — ' Laudabunt alii claram Rhodon aut Mitylenen.' Verses commemorating the hospitality shewn to the members of the University when dis- persed, by the Sister Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, were recited by Benjamin Hawkshaw, B.A., William Tisdal, B.A., Jeremiah Harrison, B.A.— "... Quales decet esse Sorores.' Then there was a Latin debate on the subject, 'Whether the Sciences and Arts are more indebted to the Ancients or the Modems.' For the Ancients — Nicholas Forster, B.A. For the Moderns — Robert Cashin, B.A. Then followed a ' Carmen seculare lyricum,' recited by Anthony Dopping, son of the Bishop of Meath — ' Alteram in lustrum mehusque semper Proroget sevum.' Concerning the increase of University studies, in an humourous speech by Thomas Leigh, B.A. Eugene Lloyde, Proctor of the University, closed the Acts. A skilled band of musicians followed the precession as they left the building (discedentes). APPENDIX K. 321 "The Sermon was preach'd by the Provost, Dr. Ashe, upon Matthew xxvi. 13, concerning the duty of Gratitude, which he applied in the commemoration of our Royall Foundress. Several of the Seniour Fellows assisted at Divine Service. The First Lesson was I. Chronicles xxix., verses 3-19 ; the Second Lesson, Ecclesiasticus xxxix., verses 1-16. The Epistle, Ezra vi., verses 7- 13 ; the Gospel, Matthew v., verses 13-17. The Anthem was Revelation vii., verses 9-13. The solemnity was honour'd with the presence of the Lords Justices, accompanied by the Lord Bishop of Meath, Vice- Chancellour (who at y e opening of the Act made a Latin speech concerning the antiquity of learned Foundations, and their usefulness to the publick), and by several other bishops, by -f Lord Mayor, nobility, and most of the gentry of the city. The whole ceremony concluded with the illumination of all the windowes of the College, and of that part of the town next to it. "The several Exercises are laid up in y' Manuscript Library." In the ' Book of Trinity College,' pp. 52-3, Dr. Mahaffy has added some curious particulars from John Dunton's 'My Conversation in Ireland,' 1699. Dr. Mahaffy expresses the hope that further particulars of the Centenary may be found among the College archives. The editor has been unable to discover any ; and the exercises, themes, speeches, and poems, which the register states were lodged in the 'Manu- script Library,' are not now to be found. IT ( 322 ) NOTE. (pages 172, 206.) Trinity College has no claim to have been the Alma Mater of either Robert Boyle or Sheridan, neither of whom was educated at a University. The editor should have omitted their names here, had not the same natural mistakes been made in the elegiac address from Gottingen (p. 210), which could not have been altered without detriment to the verse.
