Hoyt. retiring president of the Alumni as
ISOLATION. l.. j. Dobner of Hamline de-
llyered brief address of welcome to those
present, particularly to the graduates Of
old Hamllne by the more recent graduates.
he was followed by Mr.. Hoyt, who read
MS annual address at considerable length,
dwelling feelingly upon the survivors of the
hrst years of the university. He was
listened to with attention and enthusiastic
ally applauded. At the conclusion OF the
address the alumni held a business meeting
aud elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, Is. b. Herbert, Red Wing; vice-presi-
dent, ID. Ii. L andy, Red Wing; secretary,
w, q. Teter, Minneapolis; treasurer, E. j.
HOdgson, ST. Paul.
Immediately after the business meeting
members of the Alumni association, seven
ty-tve in number, disposed themselves
about the chapel in groups, ready for the
banquet, which was served by members of
the lower class, only the alumni being adj
mitted to the feast. The number present
was exceedingly gratifying to the friends
OF the university. There has been for sew
eral years, in fact, since the location of the
university at Hamline, a factional feeling
among the alumni. The people of Red
Wing, with the alumni living there, was
always opposed to the removal of the uni
versity from that city, and after its removal
rather gave it the cold shoulder. The feel
ing has been gradually wearing away, how
ever, and the exercises of yesterday were
planned and carried out in such a manner
that the old breach will doubtless never be
reopeRed. The most friendly feeling was
manifested between graduates of old and
new Hamline. and their deliberations were
characterized by the utmost harmony. All
are members of the same alumni
association and seem united in their efforts
to contribute all in their power to the fu-
ture success of Hamline. At the close of
the banquet, which partook of social re-
union, the numerous toasts were responded
to- the speeches being limited to five min
utes each. ALI were toasts
TO HAMLINE UNIVERSITY.
''Her Past'' was responded to by Rev.
DR.. Jabez Brooks of Minneapolis, who
briefly recounted the history of the insttu-
ton from its founding in 1854, its hard
times and suspension, its removal and the
infusion of new life into it in the last few
years. ''Her Future" was to have been
responded to by President Bridgman, but
he was called away only short time before
and the president, who acted as toastmas-
ter, called on Rev. Cyrus Brooks of st.
Paul, who pictured brilliant future for the
institution, based on its present financial
prosperity, its increased attendance and the
growing fraternal feeling among the alumni
of the old and new Hamline. ''Her Poll
ticians" were spoken of by d. Fl. Tandy of
Red Wing, and Her Force in the Business
World" was responded to by Hon. w. E.
Hale o. E. Barrett of the class of 'S6
