Dr. Rosa said that it was not often that man
succeeded in widely different directions. There

both a poet and lawyer He was gentleman
moreover, to whom the University had been much
indebted in the past He then proposed toast to
"The Council" to which he asked Mr.. William
Allen Butler to respond. Mr.. Butler said

The Medical Department, however. has outstrlppeu
all the others since time when Dr. Mott and his SIX
co-workers, OF whom Dr. Draper is the only survivor
took charge OF It, think 1t is proper In such gather

greatest credit upon the gentlemen who have

which attract many Americans TO Europe to study

OTHER REMARKS.
After Professor J. w. s. Arnold had responded to
the toast of The Medical Department" the preSi-
dent called upon Professor Macdonald who spoke as
follows:
When came here tonight understood that we were
to discuss medical subecis, and came prepared for

WILLIAM WINTER'S POEM
William Winter responded 10 the toast The
Press" and read poem entitled " Hest rides"
which is as follows:
On roseate shores, IN evenings glow,
With pulsiDg music soft and sweet
While winds OF summer gently blew,
The waves Of Times great ocean beat:
No cloud Obscures the heavenly dune,
Aud only the shining sea
The tossing cresLs OF silver foam
Presage the tempest yet TO be.
Low down upon the oceans verge.
