WEST POINT.
The Reunion Of the Old and
Young Graduates.
ADDRESS BY PROFESSOR DAVIES.
The Banquet that Followed and the loasts

THE CADET ENCAMPMENT.

WEST POINT, June II, 1871.
The youngsters who graduated at West Point
something less than half a century ago had high
old time OF 1t this afternoon ut their annual reunion.
1t will be remembered that last year, or rather few
months before the June festivities OF the last season
had into full play several OF the old grad
put their venerable heads together and determined
that the "boys" Of the present day who leave the
Academy every year amid on awful amount OF
pomp and circumstance should no longer monopo-
lie all the fun aud jolity to be met with at gradua-
ton times. The putting OF the venerable heads to-
gether resulted in a plan to form an alumni TO be
composed OF every ex-graduatc who could afford
to pay ten dollars year for the privilege and who
had sufficient moral character to carry him along
through life with COED name. The main object Of
the plan was, OF course, to bring together
THE OLD FOLKS
OF the Institution. But then old age is always gen.
erous, and so they arranged matters In such way
before the plan was completed that the latter-day
saints OF the cadet corps who, from time 10 time.
shed their gray clothes for the army blue, could
partake OF all the privileges enJoyments, Jolhty
and brotherhood OF the association well as the
gray boards and gray heads. The plan sue
ceeded splendidly, although the movement
had to stand some heavy firing from certain parties
who declared 1t to be political movement. Sew
eral young officers opposed 1t vigorously ut first,
one or them going so lar TO publish terrific de-
nunciauon OF 1t in weekly newspaper IN which
he very beautifully illustrated by his own state
ments that abuse is not always argument. To add
little strength to the hue and cry set up against 1t
by people who never took the trouble to look into
the merits OF the thing, complaint was made that
the constitution was not bar against rebels get
ting into the association but this, all other CON-
plants did, spent its force by Its own So
finding their first reunion less than forty three
OF the ex-graduates over whose heads many long
years had passed since the day when they babe
West Point cadet goodby. This was a good be-
ginning, and the reunion to-day showed that the
original promoters Of the association had not
built upon the sand, for the roll showed an array
OF LAT members. The business meeting was held in
the pretty little cadet chapel. The following classes
