COLBY ALUM nj.
New England Association
in Boston.

The annual meeting of the Colby Univer-
sity alumni association Of Western New Eng
land at the Hotel Warwick in Boston Sunday
evening was very enjoyable occasion, and
the presence of DR.. G. d. B. Pepper, presl-
dent of the university, added much to the
pleasure of the meeting. After an informal
hour in the parlors, employed by the gradu-
ates in making new friends and welcoming
old ones, the association was called to order
by the President E. F. Lyford, and these
officers were elected for the ensuing year:
President, Edwin F. Lyford; secretary, Ed
ward IL. Smiley; treasurer, e. Bookings.
The members then repaired TO an adjoining
room and took their seats at beautifully
spread table. After full justice had been
done to the banquet provided the president
of the university was introduced as the first
speaker of the evening. DR.. Pepper spoke
OF the pleasure the existence of such an as
ISOLATION in this part of New England gave
him, and the greater pleasure he felt in being
present and addressing so many Colby grad
yates.
While this institution has always been
somewhat conservative with reference to the
new educational departures, something in the
way of introducing elective studies has been
accomplished Ill Tile past, dllu IGSlucHI L tp-
per announced that a plan had been carefully
matured by which the study of the languages
after the sophomore year will hereafter be
optional. Two courses of study have been
prepared for the junior and senior years, one
in which the languages predominant and the
other more purely scientific each of which
will require thorough work and will give
good mental discipline, and one of which
each student who graduates must pursue to
the end. This scheme will probably be in
augurated at the commencement of next
year, and will, in the opinion of many, great
ly increase the efficiency of the college. DR..
Pepper reported the finances to be in good
condition. He referred to the strong inan-
cial support which Gardner Colby, Abner
Coburn and others who have passed away
gave the college as evidence of the work it
has done in the view of far-Sighted and
large-hearted business men, and intimated
that living men of influence and wealth were
looking to Colby as worthy object of their
benevolence.
Among others who were present and .eX-
pressed their interest in the institution were
the following: Superintendent A. p. Stone,
LII. D., L. NJ. Pierce, E. Brookings, E. II.
