THE KE.ITIt'KVT ACCIDENT.

New York, Oct. 21.-Capt. Colby M
Chester of the battlesh’p Kentucky, which
**arted for China yesterday and returned
to Tompkinsvllle, 8 I . last night said
to-dny that Ihe ship would be able to
stort on Its trip Tuesday or Wednesday.
Machinists of the crew were engaged to
day In'worklrg the two 13-Inch guns In
Ihe forward tutret, trying to ascertain If
ihe defect In the me twn'tiTi was serious.
Sailors of the Kentucky say that when
the battleship put to sea they were called
to quarters and the tj-.nch guns were dis
•harged One of the big guns In the for
ward turrei would nol go hack to place.
The trouble was due to an Imperfect
valve.
"The superimposed turret had nothing
to do with our coming hack to port."
said Capt. Chester. "There is no ques
ll*in n* to the mechanical arrangements.
Tn my Judgment the turrets are much less
liable to suffer disaster th in If they were
separate, like those carried by the Ore
gon, Massachusetts and vessels of tha*
class.”

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 21—The first ex

fifth anniversary of the opening of Van

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.
"Greater than the universe ts the mind
tha' can triangulate It ond measure It
Mightier than the sun Itself Is mind which
calculates lt volume and analyzes Its
light and hxt. Vaster than the sea Is
the mind that gauges Its depth, mark*
