The fore part Of the evening was
spent in social intercourse in the col
lege chapel, a short programme of
music being rendered by students Of
the class of '97. At $50 the assem-
blage adjourned to the presidents
room, where refreshments were served,
and after these had been disposed Of
speech making was the order Of the
evening.
In response to the toast THE Facul-
ty," G. w. Hanson delivered humor-
Gus address. He stated that there was
nothing new in the position he occu-
pied. The faculty had been continually
toasted and roasted from the day the
college came into existence, and they
were getting used to it. Nothing that
he could say would be remembered, so
he would make his remarks very brief
In college the other day, the speaker
had referred to his love for the faculty,
and he would not dare say anything
in contradiction Of those remarks, or
there would be trouble. But there are
other things that may be said about
the faculty. They are good fellows, but
the can't play ball." continued Mr..
Hanson. CDR. Davis will tell you how
they lost the game on Monday Taking
all in all, / don't see how we coud run
the college without the faculty They
come in handy sometimes, and we
have got to have some people around
to make blunders. I will conclude by
expressing the hope that the faculty
will take as good care of the college
after we have left it, as We have done
during our term in college,"
DR.. Davis subject was announced by
Chairman S. M. Kirkwood as amy
thing" and he succeeded in talking
about nearly everything under the sun.
He commenced by taking fall out Of
the seniors in reference to the ball
game. He said they were not entitled
to that game by any means, but the
faculty did not want to beat them,
as they were about to leave college.
But, let me proceed" continued DR..
Davis
A Voice-If you had proceeded a lit
tie better yesterday you might have
won that game.
This voice seemed to remind DR..
Davis that he had about completed his
remarks, and he took his seat amid
great laughter.
'"The Glories of Manchester College"
brought E. c. Henke to his feet, and
his remarks were very brief. SO brief,
indeed, that President Kirkwood felt
constrained to remark that 'he thought
there was more to Manchester college
than what we have just listened to-"
"Co-Education" was the theme on
which NJ. NJ. Maxwell was billed to
address the gathering. He expressed
the opinion that he was disqualified
from entering into the subject at length
as there were no fair co-eds in the class
- l.
posed that he was obliged to give the
same old reason in favor of co-educa-
ton Us had been given on similar oc-
casions to the present. He was not in
favor of co-education, but did not feel
safe in giving his reasons therefore
Theoretically, co-education was wrong,
but practically it was a success, and
he was not disposed to bring any
lengthy arguments pro or con.
+. 3. Balcome disposed of his sub
ject, "The Glass of '95," in very few
sentences. The class of '95 were pretty
we'll scattered through the world Two
were in the Western states, one or two
in ST. Paul, several more in New York
and one had wandered across the
ocean. If the members of that class
could make themselves felt in the places
to which they have drifted. it would
indeed be great class. With the ex-
ception of three, the entire class are
studying and perfecting themselves
for the ministry.
Rey.Mr Pringle was the next speaker.
He referred to the speech of DR.. Davis
as being we'll worthy of consideration,
in that it contained the exact opposite
to his subject, Anything" and he
wished that he could initiate the doctor
and talk for a half an hour on Moth
ing" He felt that the classes who had
graduated from Manchester college all
felt love for the alma mater, and he
was of the opinion that the best agents
the institution would have in the near
future would be those who have gradu-
ated from its classes.
Voice-Don't be preaching a SER
mon now.
Mr.. Pringle declined to take note Of
the interruption, which came from the
vicinity of DR.. Davis, and cortinuing
hoped that the young men and young
women going out of the college and
into this state and other states, the
state of matrimony for instance. would
make the name of Manchester college
power in the country. Referring to
