Later in the evening the Vice-Chancellor and
Mrs. Jenne held a reception in the dining-hall of
the college. The dining-hall was literally crowded,
and the interest and pleasure of the reception was
enhanced by the circumstance of its bringing to-
gether many who had not met since the last meet-
ing of the association at Aberdeen.
This morning, notwithstanding that the rain fell
heavily, the streets presented a bustling appearance
from the vast number of persons wending their way
to the different sections, all of which commenced
proceedings at eleven o'clock. The lecture-room at
the New Museum, appropriated to the Geological
department, and that at the divinity school to
Geography and Ethnology, appeared to be most
popular, for they were crowded long before the
business commenced.
