William Allen, ID. d.,

LATE PRESIDENT OF BowDoIN COLLEGE.
We write without records or statistics to
help the memory but under some sense of
the injustice done this eminent man (who
died recently at Northampton, Mass, at
an advanced age) in that no public notice has
been taken of him in this State, that we have
seen. He had outlived his generation,-
most of the distinguished men with whom he
had been associated in life.
DR.. Allen was settled at Pittsfield, Mass,
became President of the State University at
Hanover, n. H., was a member of various
public literary societies, also was a corporate
member of the American Board. He was
distinguished as an opponent of war, and as
friend of the Peace Society. He was elect
ed President of Bowdoin College about the
year 1928, and resigned that Office about the
year 1910. have no dates here 1t was in
the time of his administration that the vested
rights of the College, established by the Legis-
lature of Massachusetts,, were tested in the
U. S. Court. The then infant State of Maine,
having granted some lands to the college,
sought to assume its control, in part. Presi-
dent Allen was set aside from his Office tenn
porarily, Prof. Newman acting in his place.
The College triumphed in the suit, and the
President was reinstated in Office by the ver-
dict of the court.
1t is noteworthy here that DIR. Allen held
in this case precisely the opposite position be-
fore the court, from the one he had held in
- I. ocAI
versity at Hanover, N. H., through similar
interference on the part of that State. No
doubt, the loss of that case shook his conf
dence in this form of State rights when used
to wrest from colleges their chartered rights.
Any one who knew him thoroughly, would
incline to this view, rather than believe he
acted double part in these controversies.
1t was soon after his restoration that the
writer became his pupil. The President was
then in middle life, and in the zenith of his
usefulness. He had triumphed in his case at
law, had been reseated in his chair, and there
was great rejoicing in College; the buildings
were Illuminated and he was welcomed back
to his honored seat with much enthusi-
asm.
/ remember him as erect, well-formed and
dignifed, though rather below the average
height. He was reserved in manner. and a
little distant, if not cold, apparently. His
face was small ,ruddy and rather handsome in
its proportions and expression. The portrait
recently presented to the College is a good
likeness of him at so. In scholarship Presi-
dent Allen was master; he was at home in
all the curriculum of liberal and scientific
studies. In metaphysics and mathematics,
as also in bellies lettres, he was an author
ity.
1t may be said that there was in him some
conceit ofpower and gifts. This appears IN
his attempts at authorship. While some OF

Jenkins goes Tn n Picnic.

Maria Ann determined to go to picnic
Maria Ann is my wife unfortunately.
She had planned to go alone, so far as
was concerned, on that picnic excursion;
but when heard it, determined to assist.
She pretended she was very glad, but don't
believe she was. ~ 1900 -a A

day." she said, ''and we shall so much en-
joy cool morning ride on the cars, and din
ner in the woods"
On the morning of that memorable day
Maria Ann got up at five O'Clock. About
three minutes later she disturbed my repose,
and told me to comeNout to breakfast. | told
her l wasn't hungry, but it didn't make bit
of difference, j bad to get up. The sun was
up; had no idea the sun commenced bus
iness so early in the morning, but there he
was. -
'.NOw," said Maria Ann, ''we must fy
around, for the cars start at halEpast six.
Eat all the breakfast you can for you won't
get anything before noon.'
l could not eat anything at that time in the
morning, andit was just as well that couldn't
for had all that could do. The ice was to
be pounded to 60 around the pail of ice cream,
and the sandwiches to cut. and thought
never should fix the legs of the chickens so
that could get the cover on the big basket.
Maria Ann flew around and piled up gro
ceries for me to pack, and gave directions to
the girl about taking care of the house, and
was putting her dress on, all at once. There
is great deal of energy in that woman-per-
haps trihe too much.
At twenty minutes past six / stood on the
steps, with a basket ON one arm and Maria
AIMS waterproof on the other, and q pail
in each hand, and bottle of vinegar in my
coat skirt pocket. There was camp chair
hung on me somewhere, too, but forget just
where. .s..-..-. D. ... ....r. -
'Now." said Maria Ann, 1--WE must run or
we shall not catch the cars.'
''Maria," said L, ''that is reasonable idea
How do you expect me to run with all this
freightp' ..--.- .-.........r r.... ..
''You must, you brute You ways try to
tease me. If you don't want scene on the
street you will start, too.'
L had one comfort, at least. Maria Ann
fell down and broke her paraso. She called
me brute again, for laughing at her. Maria
Ann drove NE all the way to the depot on
brisk trot, and we got on the cars; but ne-
ther of us could get seat, and could not
| find place where l could set the things
down, so stood there and held them.
''Maria," said L, show is this for a cool
morning ride?"
Said she, "You are brute, Jenkins

would be an hour of warmth when we

went home drunk, and, being refused supper
by his wife, proceeded to break things while
she sat calmly singing ''Home Sweet Home"
She did this until he upset the cradle, when
sne arose, drew map of Indiana upon his
noble brow, borrowed lock of his hair as a
tender remembrance, and sent him out of
the house; now he wants divorce.
