President Roylance's Remarks.
The speaking began with an address
by William g. Roylance, president of
the Alumni association. He spoke of
the early struggles and difficulties of
the university, and how on several c.
casions it came near TO meeting an I'M
timely death But now, at last, he said,
it had passed through the last stages
OF its youth and on its new location was
sure to reach much higher plane of
usefulness.
ChristenSen'S orchestra, led by Pro-
fessor Chris Christensen, followed with
a selection, and then President Roy
lance introduced the POSTMASTER, J. II.
Paul.
Toasts and Responses.
Professor Paul spoke very briefly, fe-
hcitating his fellow-banqueters upon
the evening. and then he called upon
Farley p. Christensen to speak to the
toast, War and Peace" Mr.. Chris
Jensen contended that while the move
ments and reforms accomplished by
war were heralded with much greater
flourish of trumpets than those of
peace, yet those which were the re-
suit of peaceful methods and the slow
but steady onward movements of peace
were far more effectual and much more
conducive to the general good of man
kind.
At the conclusion of his address the
orchestra struck up The Star-spangled
Banner" and there was an impromptu
and informal toast-in cold water-to
the flag.

a brilliant address described the wave
OF patriotism which spread over the
country last year, and how it had taken
men from every walk in life to throw
them untried into the volunteer army
And these men, despite their lack OF
knowledge of the art of war. had
proved their good American blood by
fighting at Manila in a manner that
had made the whole world stand and
gaze in admiration. She spoke partic-
ularly in proud praise of our Utah SOL
der boys who have made themselves
name and fame that will be indy

about localities" said he, land il goes
here for despite our learning and our
reading not half of us know what we
are talking of when we speak of such
subjects" And then Mr. Culmer went
apt illustrations his own views on the
ideal, as opposed to the real.
The New University.
Miss Ann NJ. Cannon spoke to 'eThe
Beacon on the Hill,' that is, the pro-
jected and now o-be-realized
scheme of removing the University to
the new location granted by congress
on the Fort Douglas military reserva-
ton. Briefly and very neatly she con-
graduated her fellow graduates upon
the new era the University would en-
ter upon when once removed to its
slightly campus.
A rousing yell for the new Univer-
sity and for President Kingsbury came

The College Woman" was a very
clever talk by Miss Grace Nelson. She /
spoke of the difficulties and prejudices |
which the women who twenty years |
ago sought a college education were /
forced to meet. The fruit of their sac |
riices and their persistence in face of |
all obstacles the girl of today was |
reaping, she said, and it was a striking !

that he made the most of it. Joke fol- !

trooped down stairs and dancing went
