A movement is on foot among the
1 ton of Fairfield county to tender ban
quet to DR.. A. T. Hadley, president OF
graduated, and upless there is mis-
carriage of the plans such an affair Will
be given this month. Since assuming
the presidency of the great university
DR.. Hadley has been entertained by the
alumni associations throughout the
country, especially in the west, where
he has recently been on an extended
tour in the interest of the college. The
members of the Fairfield county alum
nj, especially those residing in this city,
with whom the proposition originated,
are DESTROYS of emulating the example
set by their fellow alumni.
The membership of the association
numbers in the nelghborhood of 200 and
includes many of the men prominent In
business and in public life. A large pro-
portion of the members are residents
Of this city. The proposition was made
at recent gathering of The members
and since then lie executive commit
tee has been engaged in giving the mat
ter consideration, with view TO OBJ
tanning the opinion of the members re-
siding i'll other sections of the country
on the subject.
The Bridgeport members are enthusl-
astic over the suggestion and will I'M

cessfully carried out. The last banquet
given under the auspices of the assoel-
alton was in 1895, when a brilliant en-
tertanment was held at the Atlantic
hotel. Among the guests Of the evening
at that time were such distinguished
men as the Hon. Timothy Dwight, then
president of Yale; the late Efflngham
Nichols, LID, president of the 1850
citation; the Hon. Seth Lowe, president
of Columbia university; the lion. VIII
liam Hornblower of New York; Gen
Wager Swayne, the late Judge ID. Is.
Lockwood, president Of the Wesleyan
Alumni association The Hon. W. l..
Bishop and the T,eJ. Samuel Scoville.
A uuartette from the Vale Glee Club
added much to the pleasure of the oc-
cason by rendering number OF Sc
lections during the evening, and the
affair was pronounced success in ev-
cry way.
Owing to the recent death Of Effing-
ham Nichols, Al, the association is
without a president. 1t is probable that
a meeting will be held in the near flu
ture to elect his successor. The other
officers of the association are vice.
