PRESIDENT PATRONS WITTY EFFORT

4uS bcfSAbu duuubl DduQuct OA tuc Ases-
burg Alumni Association of Allegheny Col
lege was held at the Seventh Avenue Hotel
last night. About 100 covers were taken,
and until the time when Judge
White as toast master introduced the
speakers the guests enjoyed themselves
in pleasant conversation. The seemed
to be divided in equal numbers, and the
presence Of the ladies added dignity to the
occasion, There was an absence of floral
decorations on the tables, but the bouquets
of the handsome misses more than made up
for the deficiency.
Judges Wickham, OF Beaver; Wood, of
West Virginia, and White, of Pittsburg,
represented the legal profession.
Finally Judge White arose and said he
regretted the hour was so late, and for that
reason he declined to say much,
The first man introduced was President
W. G.. Williams, who responded to the
toast Allegheny College" He said:
THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE.
"I represent tonight the absent guest,
our college. We speak of the institution as
our mother. bring to you tonight her
greeting" Continuing he spoke of the
bright prospects of the college. This year
the largest number Of students in the
sciences and the arts in the 70 years OF the
school will be graduated and the college has
been steadily growing. He told his hearers
neither be the academy nor the university,
BE deplored the fact that Dumber Of
persons hold diplomas who have only
finished about two years of the average col
lege curriculum. The university is in
tended to train men to be lawyers doctors,
editors, etc. It takes man to be Judge,
especially in Allegheny county, and when
this reference to Judge White was made the
audience applauded vigorously.
SIT is not question of the number of
students that make the college, but the
quality of its work. The other day the
faculty of Amherst decided not to receive
any more students after 300 had been ad-
mitted, for the reason that larger number
couldnot be properly educated.
NOT MERE SCIENTISTS.
'Better make men out of the boys than
mere scientists and mathematicIans, and this
can only be done by offering this ideal
college with manly men. You can't make
this ideal college in day. It is not
mushroom growth"
Hon. John F. bravo spoke for the Pitts
burg alumni. he said he was particularly
interested in the commercial and trade in
terests of the country. and he believed there
is as much genius represented in the
mechanical pursuits as in the learned pro-
fessions.
Prof. W, s. Jackman followed on the
ssRecollections of College DAYS" in a IA
cetious speech. and chem came Stephen
Quinon, who upheld the "Press." He
claimed that college, like drygoods store,
needed to be advertised. Each has its wares
TO ofter.
Rev. Charles Edward Locke responded to
the toast ''The Ladies as Factor Of ALLIE
gheny College"
Addresses were made By others present,
among them Judge Woods, Of West Yir-
