Rev. DR.. E. C. Smyth asked the bless
ing, after which the college hymn, lined
off after the old styls by Geo. A. Thomas,
Al, was sung by all.
President Hyde
was received with great enthusiasm when
he arose to address the gathering, after
the dinner, which was excellently served
by Robinson of Portland, had been dis
posed Of. President Hyde referred to
the presence of Mr.. Bradbury, '25, very
appropriately, and then spoke of the
great progress which the college was
making. In this progress it was the aim to
preserve all the old landmarks possible
while moving On to the performance of
the institutions high mission. Refer
ence to the benefactions of the last year,
the Garcelon bequest, the Walker art
received with tumultuous applause.
President Hyde said that the endowment
of the library with $4,000 or 100000
was now one of the;things to be looked
forward to.
Gen. Thomas TEL. Hubbard,
chairman of the Board of Trustees, was
the first speaker called upon. He re-
ceived magnificent ovation, portion
of which was no doubt inspired by the
knowledge that to him is largely due the
most recent gift to the college, the
Searles building. Gen. Hubbard is a
native of Maine, and a son of one of her
Governors-Gov. Hubbard, who signed
the first prohibitory law. Gen. Hubbard
is a Bowdoin graduate. He went to the
war as adjutant of the 25th Maine Infan-
try, and afterwards became colonel of
the Thirtieth' Maine. He is now an emf
nent lawyer of New York city. He is
Searles, the young architect who married
Mrs. Mark Hopkins, widow of the Cali
fornia millionaire. 1t will be remem-
bered that upon her death, Mrs. Hopkins
Searles left the greater portion
of her property to her husband, and that
an adopted son of Mark Hopkins, limo
thy Hopkins (who happened to be born
in Hallowell, Me.,) made considerable
trouble about the will. Throughout this
trouble General Hubbard was counsel
for Mr.. Searles, and the splendid gift of
the 100000 or $685. 900 scientific building
is undoubtedly intended by Mr.. Searles
as tribute to his respect for General
Hubbard as well as a benefaction for the
college.
General Hubbard spoke very happily
of his relation to the college as trustee,
and Of the use of college educated men
to the nation. 81 don't care how much
material wealth a nation may have"
said he, ''it will all be of little value if
that nation is to be occupied by a race of
idle or vicious men,
Hon. Charles f. Libby,
the newly elected president of the board
of overseers, was next introduced, and
received a most enthusiastic welcome.
He said he could share in the general ex-
ultation at the unexpected good fortune
of the college, good fortune which
would enable it to do larger and more
complete work for the generations to
come. The history of the lives of the
great sons of Bowdoin was an inspira-
