tafy to his father, the governor, was nomi-
mated The ballot resulted in the venerable
Bourbon Of Burlington receiving only two

bitterness on his colleagues in the college
and expressed himself very forcibly, but not
very politely, about the governor, and then
left the chamber A photographer, who was
ready with his camera 70 catch the college,
insisted on his returning, but he bluntly re-
marked that he would not be seen with such
a crowd. Later he thought better of his

group that assembled on the south porch Of
