Princeton's Anniversary Day.

Yesterday was anniversary day proper at Princeton and many distinguished men who have been unable to attend the other events were present at the exercises in Alexander Hall.

After the announcement was made of gifts to the university amounting to nearly a million dollars, and the name of Princeton University was formally adopted in place of the "College of New Jersey," addresses were made by Dr. Patton and President Cleveland. The honorary degrees were then conferred, among them being the following:
