the Ryan last evening and revived
memories Of bygone days. It was in
some respects a remarkable meeting.
The distinguished guest Of the even
ing was President w. J. Tucker, at
present the governing head of that an
| cient and exclusive institution. An
other guest of honor was President
Cyrus Northrop, of the University OF
Minnesota. The former, very learned
man, whose college is bound and to a
large degree guided by ancient and
sacred traditions; the latter, an equally
learned man, whose college is a breezy
| Western concern, too young to have
any traditions.
There were also present graduates
who represent nearly every class for
the past fifty years. Among them was
Prof. Benjamin Reynolds, Of North
field, who graduated in so, and Editor
Boyd, of the West Publishing company,
who only came out of old Dartmouth
a brief ten years ago.
The banquet was served at $50
o'clock, after an informal reception had
| been held in the parlOrs of the hotel
in honor to President Tucker. That
gentleman is a man Of fine presence
and scholarly bearing. His eyes are Of
deep, penetrating black, and every
line Of his face shows a strong per-
sonality, culture and intelligence. The
alumni were very favorably impressed
with the new president and are glad to
have their alma mater in such good
hands. Those present were:

AT O'Clock circle of easy chairs
was arranged for the guests at one
end of the banquet room and President
Z. A. P1llsbury, of the Northwestern
Dartmouth Alumni association. took
the chair. President Pillsbury, having
Just returned from busy three weeks
trip to the East, soon yielded the floor
to Toastmaster Henry L. Moore. of
Minneapolis. Mr.. Moore must have
been a thorough college student. for
his latter days have not robbed him
OF his earlier wit. The influence Of the.
hallowed walls Of old Dartmouth still
cling to him. Toastmaster Moore re-
ported the condition of the college
fence, which seems to be an annual;
turctfon for toastmasters. The fence
was announced as being in good condi-
ton ana awaiting the return of some
or its old friends and neighbors.
Dr. Tucker was the first speaker
HIS address was a surprise and a de-
Eght to the old graduates, who ner-
maps, had feared that the new presi-
dent, being more of a modern educator
IMAM his predecessors, would not be
IN such deep sympathy with old ira
d3tlons as they were. But in this the
aluInnl was happily disappointed. DR.
1ucker said, in the course Of his re-
marks, that man once asked Chnata
VINO he would rather be if he could NOT
be himself. Choate is said to have
turned to his wife with a pretty re-
mark that he would prefer to be Mrs
Cncates second husband. DR.. Tucker
pel1eVed much the same spirit pervad.
ca the old graduates of Dartmouth
Many of them would like to go back
to their first love. President TucI CO.
said he brought the Northwestern
alumni greetings from Boston. PhiJa-
deiphla, Cincinnati, Chicago and Other
places In speaking of Dartmouth

present 1t Is for this reason that +
make 1t my practice to visit the alumni,
or the country and tell them of thta

realize a full adjustment to itself of a.
liberal education. A century ago q
liberal education was limited to a few
certain subjects. 1t is not so now. The
scope or a liberal education. is far
broader. A man who Is ignorant To-
day of the theory Of evolution is no.
more ignorant than the man who does
not know the relation of human his
tory to the present. Scientific educa-
ton is now requisite to classical edu-
cation. / believe dn conservatism in
