as the home Of such an Institution, to the
1act that the national government spreads
out before us for educational work re-
sources to the extent Of more than twenty
million dollars Columbian has the right
OF way and we have the inspiration OF a
magnificent opportunity. There never has
neen such glorious opportunity as Co
lumbian has today with the influence of
the SSrrlifttng agencies Of the closing days
Of the nineteenth century. The needs Of
the hour are many and the first OF these
Is the need OF more complete organization
among all the ranks Of those connected
graduates, it is too bad that not one-half
that number could be here tonight. The
future of the university is in this room.
If our alumni could stand shoulder to
future would be pre-empted. Let us be
still more loyal to our alma mater and say
right out that she is doing better work
even that we. give her credit for"
"Old Columbian" was the toast assigned
to Mr.. William F. Mattingly, who talked
Interestingly of the life and methods at
the college when he was student and
walked each day from his home in George
town out to College Hill. There were few
houses north of K street then and no street
car lines. The number of students at the
college was between seventy-fve and
eighty. On one occasion he tried to go out
with some friends to a reception given by
the president on the occasion of COM
mencement. The mud was SO deep that
they could not make the trip, and it had
to be abandoned. He then spoke of the
professors of that day, giving some inter-
esting reminiscence- of each. and read over
some OLD examination papers of nearly
forty years ago, which he discovered among
his college mementoes a few days ago.

immense advantage in that they can have
as teachers the justices of the highest
court of the world. They can call upon
Harvard and Yale to show a match for
Harlan and Brewer. Then we can see COM
mon law worked out here in common law
world. We have here a system of practice
that is out Of date, the practice Of hun
dreds of years. one might almost say a
thousand years ago. This Is great train
ing for students, but, remarked Mr.. Worth
ington, it Is a little tough on the people of
Washington. We have here as nowhere
else presented the problem of the relation
of the municipal to the national govern
ment. 1t Is problem that well deserves
the attention of the students of the law.
Mr.. Worthington then went on to speak of
Washington. taxed without representation.
He said that while he did not care 20 have
his views on the matter Of suffrage. taken
for too much on this occasion, he did think
one that should receive the most careful
attention at the hands of every serious
thinking man.
