Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermon Preached Before the Class of 1894 of Princeton College, on Sunday, June Tenth, 1894 This hall is both a gift and a memorial. It is a gift to a noble and enduring institution. It is a tribute to Princeton College, to the students who give it life and energy, to the graduates who have done it honor, to the officers who have been faithful to its great tra ditions, to the learning which in Princeton has alwaysfound a home. May I not say that it is in a peculiar sense a tribute to its President, whose words were the inspiration of the idea [cheers], and whose work for both religion and learning have been a cause of admiration, and a motive to generosity in the mind of the giver. It is Mrs. Alexander's hope that this hall may al ways be a centre of University activity. Here, as the years go by, graduates will take leave of their col lege. Here the friends Of science, and of letters, and of the arts may assemble. Here also will doubtless be heard the voices of those who return from various fields after harvests of inquiry and discovery. It is not a temple of religion, but in a very real sense it is dedicated to the cause of truth. And it is the desire of the giver that nothing Shall find welcome here but that which is in conformity to the will of Him who is the Truth Incarnate.
