The menu prepared by Manager
Lucas new chef was most excellent
one and we'll served. At the opening
of the post prandial exercises Mr.. Bir-
ME called upon President Dole who
was greeted with rounds of applause
Mr.. Dole did not make an elaborate
address, but did his best to stir up a
little old-time college enthusiasm
among the graduates. He spoke pleas
antly of his college days, and stated
that although he was not a graduate
the honorary degree of L. L. d. had
recently been conferred upon him by
Williams College. This called forth
the principal outburst of college en-
thusiasm of the meeting.
Minister Sewall made an interesting
five minute speech in which he brought
out the broad educational principles
of Harvard University, an institution
often maligned for it's proximity to
Boston, which nevertheless sent it's re-
representatives. to all parts of the world.
where their influence for intellectual
progress was always felt. Mr.. Sewall
suggested that at the next banquet the
coeducational principle be recognized
While in college he had always be-
lieved in the annexation principle and
hoped the University Club of Hawaii
would take it up at future meetings.
He closed with a glowing tribute to
President Dole congratulating him upz
on the honor conferred upon him.
This meritorious action of his alma
matter expresses the esteem in which
we all hold him in our hearts,"
Prof Smith of Stanford spoke of the
work of that institution. 1t had de-
posed many of the king and. queen of
old educational custom. q. S. Consul
Haywood made a very short but happy
speech.
Mr. Salmon of Yale '94 who is on his
way to take up Y. NJ G. A. work in
Australia held the interested attention
of his hearers in outlining the
the religious work in colleges. He
brought to the gathering much of
the college enthusiasm, and spoke es-
pecially of the line of educational work
at Yale. The university was seeking
to develop the four square mantle
physical, social and moral
man. He paid high compliment to the
of the young men which Ha-
waii has sent to Yale.
DR.. A. B. Lyons made the closing
address of the evening after which Sec
rotary Crawley reported upon the pro-
gress of the club. Seven months ago
the club was started with 40 members
and now has SO, representing 26 col
leges. Eighteen institutions were re-
presented at the banquet.
