The speaking was interesting and there
clapping as it progressed.
PRESIDENT HYDE,
after calling the gathering to order, said
After the great gathering which we
had here year a go that seems like a
little family group. Our thoughts were
then turned to the achievements of the
peeou SClltuly. LulS 10 UIl6 ClOSG Ol u10 uTSb
year of the next and SO naturally our
thoughts turn to the future
True our benefactor, DR.. Merritt, while
mayor of Oakland California, met bull
while crossing field and was assisted
over the fence by the crature The good
doctor Immediately sought the owner of
the bull and demanded why he kept the
creature in that field.
So he won't starve.' -
DO you know he is CROSSE"
s'Yes.''
'.Well, do you know who amp"
No, who are you?"
I am the mayor of Oakland - :.
We'll, why didn't you tell that to the
bull, - was the prompt reply.
President Hyde then applied his story
by saying that in these days it would not
do to be too modest, and the advantage
of Bowdoin college must be made known
The President then spoke of the change
in the requirements for admission to the
college. 1t is a fact that the public high
school is today largely doing the work of
the old academy but the college does not
purpose to teach the graduates Of the usual
high school course, a Smattering of many
things. 1t has been decided that a
student may enter the college without
having studied Greek but in place of it,
he must have taken one of several pre-
scribed three years courses in languages
or sciences. This was the only important
action of the year, as innovations mean
expenditures, and Bowdoin, as have other
institutions, has felt in the past few wears
the need of economy.
