cerian Business College.

At a meeting of representatives of the
graduates of Spencerian College held in
the college halls Saturday evening meas
ures We're adopted for inviting the coop
Grafton of the classes of thirty-three years
in a plan at first proposed and undertaken
by the representatives of the earlier col

in which they hold the memory of their
distinguished teacher and friend, Prof
Spencer.
Two representatives of each of the TWEEN
ty-five years of Mr.. Spencers life and
labors in Washington We're first invited to
serve on a memorial committee. The re-
Spouse was prompt and general by calls,
| letters messages and attendance. All de-
clared their great pleasure in commemorate
ing the life, services and influence or one
who had been an inspiration to noble liv-
ing, and they prepared at once to Offer
a tribute expressive of their gratitude and
appreciation.
1t was unanimously ordered that two
representatives of each of the years fol-
| lowing the death of Prof Spencer be added
| to the committee 1t was also ordered that
| students not graduates, who loved and
| honored him, should be invited to join in

where the body of Mr. Spencer was buried
September l, 1891, had completed the new
| gatekeepers lodge, ratings and gates and
| had given consent to Spencerian College to
rear an arch over the gateway to the
memory of Prof. Spencer.
The committee examined the plan for the
arch. gold block letters Fleetwood Gene
| terry" against the sky, supported by
wrought iron and resting upon granite pill
! lars, and thought it graceful and beautiful,
| but urged the privilege Of rearing in 50
| handsome a situation, at the head of Lin
! coin avenue, in view from the Capitol, and
| for so worthy an object, larger and more
| imposing structure.
| Tho effectual answer n this apDaal WAS
| that a more massive and elaborate design
| would not be harmonious with the more
| simple surroundings
