Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 21—The first ex ercises In commemoration of the twenty fifth anniversary of the opening of Van derbilt University, were held ot the chapel of the university at 11 o'clock this morn ing. when Bishop E. It. Hendrix of Kan ts* City, preached the commemoration sermon. On Ihe platform besides lllshop Hen drix. were Bishop Charles B Galloway, of the hnxni of !ru*t: Bishop AV. A. Candler of the earn.- board; Dr. Andrew Hunter of Arkansas, one of the oldest members of Ihe board, and Dr W. E Tllltt. .lean of tile Biblical de[*ariment of the university, ar well as other members of ihe board of trustee*, the faculty of the university and delegates from other educational Institutions Dr. Tiller introduced Bishop Hendrix who delivered Ihe anniversary ser mon Plwhop Hendrix's subject was The Mission of a Christian University, or the Limit.Allan* ami Completion of Human Knowledge.” Ills text was: “Now 1 know In part; but then shall I know- even as also I have been known" I for. 13:12. He said In part: "A university has beer, called an In stitution of learning, because so much knowledge Is brought there by the Fresh men, and wo little taken away by the Bu!ors. There Is both wit and wisdom In the definition It Is only experience tliat knows enough lo confess Ignorance. A wise man would he glad to be as sure about one or two things as the Ignorant or superficial mar Is sure about every thing A university of wise men stand* as much therefore for what ts not known os for what It. Its candor. In pointing to the great mesa of darkness without, h .p* to measure Just how inu.li of that uokrown world It has triangulated ami m ide Its ow-n. To define clearly Is to think clearly. He Is the wise man now as In the days of the Delphic oracle who knows the fact that he does not know, ond Just what he do* * not know A uni versity stand* for the unexplored as well as tin* explored; for the unknown no less than the known. It Is not alone a plat* of horning, but n place where there are men wise enough lo confess Ihit they know only in part A Christian univers ity stands for the eenfidenea that wo shall not be left In per manent mental confusion respecting any thing which the human mind craves to know. It believes In n future of mental activity as well as a present 'Now 1 know in part; but then shall I know even as also I have been known.' "In tha middle ages the term 'Univer sity' was applied lo any organised body of men It was etmply a guild or corpora tion There were at Rom* ‘universities' of l>akers. of farmers, of scribes, or of any person engaged In n par ticular occupation In time the term cam* to be applied exclusively to Indies of persons engaged In the occupa tion of teaching and study These In turn stain secured the right of granting li censes to teach. Later such licenses were granted not only to those who actually * hid to teach, hut lo all who demand ed them provided they fulfilled certain re quirements. Tbits thev became what we now understand bv the term "degrees.' Corporation# that were formed for mutual advantage In business thus gave way to the modern university, a guild of scholars, the older pledged to Instruct the younger the whole forming s community of letters which became a renter of great Influence alike In the world of though' and of nr- I'on. Th** university thus became ans - llon'a fortress, ns well os her laboratory and workshop The hand that fashions the rifled cannon knows how to use It. But for he universities of Europ* and Orest Britain there would have been no Hues of Prague, no Luther arid Melanethon of Wittenberg n** Calvin and Bcxa of Gen eva. no Wlekllff. and Wesley and White flnid of Oxford 'As Iron sharpened) iron, so n man ahsrpeneth the eountennnce of his friend ' Intelleentnl and spiritual com radeship succeeded t<* the commercial •plrll which was the beginning of the ear liest university or guild life. "Bologna was the first, as Paris was the moat Important of the early universities which came Into being os communities of letters In the twelfth century. The system of degrees and -the names of the chief of ficers of ihe university were Introduced Into England from Paris when Oxford and Cambridge came Into notice during the thirteenth century, each as a number of separate corporations or colleges, as to day Bologna became the model for the Scotch universities with thetr several de partments such as we -!ec m necessary In the organisation of an American univer sity. Bologna also gave to Reotlnnd those picturesque ceremonies which mark 'Fapplng day’ In a Scotch University Alike in England nnd Scotland the right •o confer degrees Is vested alone In the university, Kenresen'atlon In Parliament 'a nlso granted 'o Ihee great centers of thought nnd Influence alike In England ond Scotland. While our American uni versities may lack some of the distinctive privileges which belong to the venerable universities of Great Britain they equal any of them In the Influence which they exert on the national destiny as well as on the thought of the nation In seeking lo estimate the mission of one. and that one of Aha youngest. It Is p!ca*lng to note that o’l leading unlverwlt'es In America were founded under Fhrlstlsn auspice* They are ollke ihe fruits and factors of ottr Christian civilisation What one g.-n . ration has founded has helped to develop another generation, which Is better pre pared to foster and advance these higher seats of learning.
