order. The speakers were limited to
five minutes each, but, Notwithstanding

midnight.
W. j. Footner, president of the club,
welcomed the guests, and made few
remarks relative to the objects of the
club in social way. He referred to
the series of dinners that had been in
augurated last winter. and that had
proved to be very helpful in furthering
this object. He said that it was the
intention of the club to continue
this practice, as it brought
| the organization into relations
with the different trades and profes.
sions, in way that nothing else woul d.
After referring to the honor that the
! club felt in entertaining such a repre-.
sentative body of teachers and clergy,
i Mr.. Footner Introduced Rev. Charles B
Wilcox, who acted as POSTMASTER.
Rev. Wilcox referred to the part OF
the feast that had been en- joyed, and tt
| the enjoyment to come of an in.
tellectual character. He spoke oil
the lack of appreciation general,
of the work Of the teacher
| and the preacher, and said that results
| in the school room as well as in tn,
pulpit were not measurable quantities
| Money" said he, lis never so well in
vested as when put into schools and col
| educator will be appreciated more an(
more;" and, in conclusion, Mr., WIlco,
expressed thefsentiment of every ont
present when he said that tie hospital
ity of the club was appreciated.
Prof. W. w. Folwell was introduced b,
Mr.. Wilcox, end in his few remarks he re
gretted very much the absence of Presiden
NorthroP, and then briefly showed how tn
highest intellectual and religious culture i
! reached when taught together"
| The toast on university Extension wa
responded to by Prof. Willis M. West. of tn
state university. The speaker said: "Univel
sity extension labors under the difficulty O
being new. and yet not so new, becaus
nearly five hundred years ago university ex
tension had its birth. 1t is well to motto
that with the progress Of the century GU
universities have kept well abreast. N
true friend of university extension hold
that all the advantages OF the university cal
be carried to all points of the state, but the
do believe in granting the privileges of stud
to all, together with the benefit to be ha
from lectures"
DR.. Heffron was then introduced and re-
sponded to the toast Religion and Educa
ton" He said; ut is hard to define religion
| and edu cation in a satisfactory manner
I Education Goes not mean to fill up and stuff
it means rather to draw out and develop
| Religion does not mean simply 10 20 T.
church. 1t inspires all our noblest efforts
| Religion and aducation are twin sisters. W
have the best schools and a good man
churches; whether we have the best preach
ers, cannot say"
Effect OF University Training on tn
| Business Career was responded to 6y Con
way Mcmillan, graduate Of the state uni
versity. He began by emphasizing the fac
that ne was business man. and made few
very telling remarks on the effect of tb,
higher education on the commercial world
"Ihe modern university stands in tn
relation of cause and result said he.
Dr.. Egbert was introduced and Responded
to the toast, THE Clergyman as Public
Teacher" The speaker eaid: mo tru
teacher can be revolutionist. There is II,
| man and no system that Is exactly as
ought to be. The teacher must rather be al
evolutionist in the highest sense of the word
He must believe in the new heaven and th,
new earth, and he must not be radical in hi
