been given of it there were, however, as it
happened, gentlemen present representing

than those of any previous meeting. In the
absence Of the President, Henry J. NeVett, as
Vice President, presided, and Willie f. Arnold
acted as Secretary. - i 5if- +:
The attendance being small, it was decided
to postpone the election Of officers until the
Sth Of September, and calls being made upon
several members for "reminiscences of their
school days, Messrs. Rudolph Johnson of
Washington, end L.. Harrison Kell, Norman
F. Moore, Ernest J. Simpson, Of this city, and
others, responded in brief but interesting al-
dresses The class of 1868 being called upon,
the new graduates were appropriately repre-
sented by Thomas A. Broadus, who made a
brief, but very entertaining response to the call
of the Chair. By request, Messrs. John T.
Hill and Richard L. Carno then gave history
OF the original establishment of the school, and
its progress until lS4l, from which time its
exercises were suspended until 1S47. The
