ADDRESS OF WELCOME

JUDGE OLIVER A. HARKER
Dean of the College of Law

To be called upon to preside at this meeting of delegates of the leading universities of the civilized world is a high honor. Appreciating it as it comes to me unexpectedly at this hour, I cannot refrain from expressing the deepest regret that the distinguished educator and amiable gentleman selected for the presiding officer upon this occasion is by reason of his ill-health unable to be with us. During an unbroken record of thirty-seven years of service in this institution of learning this is the first public occasion on which Dr. Burrill, because of ill-health, has been unable to be present and perform his full share. of duty.

In welcoming the delegates, who have honored us by accepting the invitation to attend and assist in these installation ceremonies, we can point to no splendid antiquities, no long history, as compared with the leading universities of England and Germany and other civilized nations of Continental Europe and the historic institutions. of the East. In comparison with them the University of Illinois is a mere infant. But as to material equipment, student attendance, teaching force, when you come to compare it with those universities, it shows all the strength, vigor and size of full manhood. A study of the statistics of the thirty leading universities and institutions of learning in the United States for the last ten years shows that the University of Illinois in point of increase in attendance has outstripped all of them. This institution, while something like forty years old, was founded not under the present name, and up to twenty years ago not one-half of the people of this commonwealth had ever heard of it. The half who had heard of it supposed it was an industrial school, where incorrigible boys were sent for reformation, and where they might learn some kind of an honest vocation. I remember something like eighteen years ago, when as a member of the Board of Trustees, and a member of the committee having in charge the procuring of an appropriation for this building, I with others went to the Legislature and asked for the modest sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although the State was at that time in most excellent financial condition,
