2g UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, one April 13th of the same year, the last date being the one upon which you were elected to your high position. May it be long before that other date, which must inevitably be sometime added, is written by the stern hand of ate! These keys give you actual freedom to the buildings of the entire University. No nook or corner is to be hidden from your inspection, and no obstacle is to thwart your fullest investigation. But these keys are magic keys. They unlock human hearts as well as oaken doors. W a l k In and take possession with the freedom which all join me this dav in extending to you. " A h , how skillful grows the hand Thatobeyeth Love's command; It is the heart and not the brain, That to the highest doth attain; And he who followeth Love's behest Far excelleth all the rest.'' So says the poet; but better than either heart or brain is the heart and the brain dedicated to-day to the service 0 the University of Illinois. ALTGELD-The President-elect, Dr. Andrew Sloan Draper, will now deliver the inaugural address. GOVERNOR
