| AS the coffee was brought on Mr.. Car
ter opened the speech-making. He said
that in the midst of the business per-
plexities of the year the Harvard club
had gathered in unprecedented num-
bers and in undiminished enthusiasm.
He spoke of Columbia and Princeton
blooming from colleges to full univer-
stiles, and said that these great
achievements We're due in great meas
ure to Harvard and her illustrious son,
Eliot. His untiring energy" said Mr..
Carter, gave US the greater Harvard
and the university of expansion"
Mr. Alexander at this point proposed
three times three for President Eliot,
which were given with a will
Continuing, Mr.. Carter said that a
great event had recently taken place
the pacification of Harvard and Yale.
| (Cheers.) 1t was the end, he said, of
suspicion and the birth of honorable
rivalry 1T means even more than
this" said Mr. Carter. 'It regulates
the business of university athletics
and confines it to university grounds
| (Cheers.)
Mr.. Carter paid glowing tribute to
Professor Childs, and in conclusion pro-
posed the health of President Eliot
which was drank with a will. With
like will three times three were given
for President Carter.
President Carter then introduced Pro-
feSsor Albert bushnell Hart or Har-
ward, who spoke for his alma mater
He said, in part:
Harvard is no more in Cambridge
than the United States is in Annapolis
There are three sorts of Harvard men
students teachers and graduates. The
students of Harvard have learned tc
speak for themselves. The students ir
Harvard this year, as they for each Of
the past twenty years, showed an in
crease in numbers. AS to the quality
of the students, not so long ago a stu
dent asked if the pope was a Catholic
The efficiency of the institution tC
teach men to think for themselves in
creased from year to year One of the
great journals of New York has under
taken to purge Harvard OF the teachers
and professors who do not follow the
lead of the international law advocated
by this journal. The same journal sait
if hard headed business men conduct
ed the affairs of Harvard they would
soon eradicate the institution of the
atheists, socialists, pessimists and free
traders.
