opened the oratorical part of the feast. His
short talks IN introducing the various speakers
were bright and ELECTED the applause OF the
alumne He said at first that the bond that
ties university men together and causes them
to assemble in reunion is probably one of the
strongest that can operate ON the minds of any
men. The collegiate and university alumni as
sociations, he went on, are becoming marked
feature in our national composition, and form,
as 1t were. community of educated men that
can be developed into untold power in the
future. He hoped that the time will come
when it will be possible for the alumni associa-
tons Of America to unite for one grand object
of education that will mark an epoch in the
intellectual history OF the country.
REPRESENTATIVE MALLoRY's RECoLLECTIoSs.
The FIRST speaker was Representative Stephen
r. Mallory. jr., OF Florida, n member of the
class of 1869, who responded to the toast The
academic branch" His reco!lections of the
institution, he said, were clustered most fondly
around the name Georgetown College, for it
was by that name that it was known in his day.
He had chosen as the theme of his remarks an
incident In the history of the college to which
rare reference Is maie-the opening of its
doors gratuitously after the war to young men
of the south. He was one of those who ac-
cepted the opportunity and he gave great honor
to the institution tor its efforts to fill the terri
BILE gap left by the war.
THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
DIR. VIM. Tindall, class of 1869, spoke of the
medical department in few well-chosen words.
OF the three classes represented by the regular
speakers Of the evening. he said-poiitics, the
law and medicine-the last named is the most
independent. The politician depends foI his
continuance in Office upon the patriotism Of
bis constituents; the lawyer is at the mercy Of
the whims of courts and the tenderness of ju-
ries, but the physician has no element in his
success but his own skill and ability. Upon
those factors alone does his achievement rest.
THE Law DEPARTMENT.
MIR. Edward Ii. Thomas, 1871, spoke Of the
law department The course of that part Of
the Georgetown University, he said, had led it
to the front rank Of all similar institutions.
There are many faults in the present system Of
making lawyers; too many schools do little
else than instruct. where they should educate
The course Of Georgetown, however. had al
ways been to set the pace and no fault could be
found with it.
REPRESENTATIVE sPRINGER's TALK.
This concluded the program, but the chair
man called upon Representative Springer for a
\ fotb fa$ hoI VI
after he had graduated at law and had been adj
mitted to practice. Hence he had had no op-
portunity to enter Georgetown, but he had done
the next best thing and sent his son to the law
school. from which he had graduated He
thought that in education lay the safety and
preservation of the political system of this
country, IL the elevation OF the sense of right
and the establishment OF principles of honor
and integrity among citizens and voters
Georgetown was therefore working for the
destiny of the nation.
REV. FATHER RICHARDS REMARKs
