Chapel street to the binder and aiterward wheeled
them back. He spoke of the Society's men in those
DAYS. They had sense enough TO make him DIR.
Hewitt President. The elder Grmki vas a member
of College then, and the Doctor told how he gave
remarkably minute account of the Library at Alexan-
dra, with only few notes. AT another time he took
up the extempore argument of Roman Catholic
bishop and corrected his quotations, and reiuted him
root ard BRANCH, without any previous preparation;
He used to read the British poets extensively, and told
the Doctor that he could recte the whole mass of En-
glish poetry from beginning to end
The Secretary was then called on 10 give few his
torical notes Liponia had severe conflicts with the
Pbistines Brothers. in his days. The Hall was then
poOr-row how greatly changed John G. Calhoao
used TO be conteDded for Linonian when ne

come 10 LinOnia.
Mr.. John II. BrOckwav tClass OF lS!0 then spoke.
He had recent dream that the Brothers hall had
caved In Pres Wolsey a member OF the Brothers
came to the door of Linonia and begged humbly for
admssior>1o Society. The Rev. DIR. Bacon also
begged for admission. They at length admitted,
aud took very pentent seats in the back part of the
ball He thought the Brothers would eventually have
TO disbsnd. () He had a great personal contest for
u Presidency of LDoDia, and as the fifth Presi-
dent lie had no boys, but some handsome girls,
who might marry LiDonians some day. Great was
the contest in his time. He dwet much upon his
honor The members of the Freshman Class were
divided between the two Societies aphab7 tlcay;
but they used TO "swop" men, and, in such cases,
Linona was shrewd that she generally came ont
ahead. 1t was great argument in his time, too, taat
the Brothers had less book III their library than
LiGonia.
DIR. S. w. S. Dutton lclass of 1899 spoke next.
He told story about Justices of the Peace being
made out of almost anything; 30 he might say OF his
ID. ID. ship, about which the President made come
sport. He dwet upon the prize debates of Linonia-
their excellence-but the exempore debates had now
run down. In his day, the debates were al ways Wig
orous and well attended. He had got benefit
from the debates than from any other single in
his College life. lie was second President.

Then said the Professor he ought 10 be older than any
body else present why he ought TO be excused
was that clergymen never speak without notes. How
should he speak then. He feared he might disgrace
himself. The only reason why he was called up he
thought to be because he was stopped over as DIR.
Hewitt said Grimki was, and he had spoken highly Of
Grimkis extraordinary memory. One other reason
still might be that he was thought 10 be ID. d., but
he said he had not grown big enough TO be yet.
Mr. III. B. Darlington, Glass Of 1885, then gave some
"reminiscences of his own The way he became a
Iinonan was told. He had the right sleeve torn of
his coat by Brother, but the LinOnans grabbed his
body. He confirmed DIR. Buttons story as to the
benefit he and others had gained from Linonia
