HON. WALTERS. BAKER.


Hon. Waller 5. Baker, on last
Saturday morning, met with this
society in the University, and gave
the boys much appreciated TAX
He was a member Of this society
when student, and has not for
gotten now good it makes boy
feel, away from home ard among
strangers, to have the citizens Of
the town take an interest In his
welfare. Students naturally expect
the professors to be Interested IN
them; that is what they are paid
for. Bot for the leading business
men of Waco 10 take the time to
meet with tbe boys, in either the
Eresophian Society or the one above
mentioned, induces love for Waco
and a love for the Unworthy. 1t
proves to the members Of the soci.
cites that in these college organ ~.
tons bond of union is formed
which outlasts the lieeting years.
Mr.. Baker wisely chose subject
of living interest to them as citi-
1ens and in line with their study of
history. The young men say they
learned more from his hours talk
about the financial legislation of
America, than from whole seq
slon's st1dy Of United States his
tory. They were brought by his
torical steps face to face with the
great question Of bimetallism or
monometallism, now agitating the
country.
We will take pleasure, righ,
soon, in cbronieling the fact that
some old member of the Erosophlan
has followed Mr.. Bsker's example.
