The banquet was substantial and elabor-
ate. and with the memories of South
Hall'' and ''Had Frary's hotel" wildly re-
called, ample justice was done by every son
of Dartmouth. There was much TO recall,
memories of the old institution over among
the New Hampshire hills. The menu cards
bore pictures of the college. church and the
"Old Pine" copies of dozen or more of
the popular college songs lay by each plate,
the orchestra selections were nearly all
popular airs of the institution, and with the
SHARP EYE OF ''PREX,"
that is just as sharp as it ever was. at the
head of the table, nothing was
lacking to bring back college
days 10 everyone. The older of the party
I in their table chat. dwelt Oh the recent
deaths of Profs. Sanbon, Noyes and
Brown in reverent strains, and discussed
the financial condition Of the institution.
while two or three of the class of 80 told
again how they had devastated the Nor
witch turkey rO0sts and ''horned" Johnnie
Lord, the freshman Latin professor, for a
roast in Livey. The occasion was a par
ticularly interesting One and the head of
the institution could not but have been
pleased at the cordiality with which he was
received and the interest in the welfare of
their alma mater that the Northwestern
sons made manifest.
THE SPEECHES.
Judge ID. A. Dickinson opened the speak
ing with brief address of welcome and
was followed by President Bartlett, who
said:
We Of Dartmouth college have endeavored
to some degree TO keep our hold on our
Western friends. One of the fiji st
movements that / made after I went to
the college was TO draw from the North
west a pro. essor TO more strongly
bind the alumni together The old
college labOrs under disadvantages
in some respects, and it is more strongly
brought to my mind as look around here to-
its halls and gone out into the
world to carve out their own
fortunes. There was time when my prede-
cessor was embarrassed and worried by the
straltened condition of the finances
of the college, and have no

mable DIR. Smith. Had known the amount
of Indebtedness that overhung that institution

the task that did, but during the past eight
years the fund of the college proper has re-
ceived in cash S4l2000, and five professor
ships and II number of scholarships have
been established.
The changes in the customs have been ex.
ceedingly great. The custom OF haZing has
been entirely wiped ont. A few years ago
seven students were expelled from
the college for that very thing
never to return and since that time
there has been no hazfng in the college that
has come TO our knowledge. There
