President Patton responded 10 the toast
"Princeton.'
lie said that on the occasion OF the
celebration of the sesqui-centennial Of the
university President and Mrs. Cleveland
fell in love with Princeton, SO much So.
that they had decided upon the place as
their future residence. How cminently
fitting il would be- said Mr.. Patton. for
future Presidents of the United States on
laying down the reins of government, 70
settle in the literary precincts of Prince
ton, and occasionally lecture before the
students of the university. What preCe-
dent is set by President Cleveland in Sc
lecting Princeton FOR a home.
There are few things nearer to my
heart than the establishment in the uni
versity OF chair of general jurispru-
dence. When we get more Brinceton men
in the Senate there viii be no question
OF the success of the arbitration treaty,
as Princeton students and alumni are
unanimously in favor Of maintaining close
and amicahle relations between England
and this country.

Attorney General f. D. Whitney, for ale:
John Sidney Webb, for Harvard; Senator
