OF course the exercises in the church con-
stituted the great event for the graduates of
this year; but for the old fellows tue BAN
the sentiment and the fun, was the central
event. So it is fitting that the formal exer-
cises be passed for the moment to describe
the dinner.
1t was about half-past one o'clock when
the long procession, marshalled by the vet
sions so long that every Bowdoin man knows
his name, wended its way from the church
to the gymnasium. The class of '91, in their
Oxford caps and gowns, led the way; and
next to them came the survivors OF al, who
led the march as fresh graduates just fifty
years ago.
Tables had been set in the ample floor of
the gymnasium for over three hundred, and
every place was taken. After Rev. Samuel
w. Dixie of Bath had offered the blessing,
the feast began. 1t was an excellent dinner
and put every one in good humor for the
speaking.
President Hyde began the post prandial
exercises by announcing that In accordance
with the usual custom, the class that had
been graduated fifty years ago had the place
of honor. Therefore he called upon Mr..
George A. Thomas, Al, of Portland, to lead
Let children hear thy mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Etc.
All joined in the song. At its close Presi-
dent Hyde made briet address. "The ex-
ercises OF this day." ne said, conclude a
year of uninterrupted prosperity for the col
lege. The class which graduates today has
been exceeded in numbers by only one class
in the history Of the college. And as, that

that Professor Hutchins has been

terms of the scholarship of Professor Pease.
