ed, sung, poemed and praised as only
a crowd OF reverential sons can thus
pay homage to a good mother. The
occasion was the fifteenth annual din
ner of the Princeton Alumni asso-
citation of Northeastern Pennsylvania,
one of the largest and most loyal Of
the many branches of the great FAM
lily Of the famous old Jersey institu-
tion of learning. The dinner was
served in the Scranton club last night.
If "by their fruits we shall know
them" Is to extend to college, Old
Nassau need not fear for her reputa-
tion on account of her Northeastern
Pennsylvania progeny. A glance at
the names OF those who were about
the festal board last night doing her
honor and incidentally having good
time is sufficient guarantee of this:

MEMBER OF FACULTY.
The dinner was made especially
prominent by the presence, as one Of
the guests of honor of Prof. Walter
A. Wyckoff. of the Princeton faculty,
who is known the world over as Il
leader of thought in the science Of
sociology. 1t was Prof. Wyckoff, it
will be remembered, who made a tour
of the country in the suise of a la
borer, that he might make a closer
study of the conditions of the working
classes. His articles describing his
experiences, observations and conclu-
sions comprise an accepted text book
for all modern sociologists.
The other guests of honor in their
respective spheres were scarcely, il
any, less prominent. They We're Colo
rel Henry M. Boies and Homer
Greene. To say to a LEGAL newspaper
reader who or what these men are is
superGuous. Colonel Boies was present
as the representative of Yale and Mr..
Greene of the smaller colleges.
The dinner was served by Steward
O'Neil and as he had practically carte
blanche, it may be believed it was
about all that Epicurias himself
could demand. Here is the menu:
Cape Cod Oysters.

1t was served in the main dining
room and was extremely tasteful in all
it's appointments. Bauel'S orchestra
furnished music during the dining and
also accompanied the singing of the
college songs and popular airs, which
helped enliven the occasion in no small
degree. The singing was led by DR..
Woodcock.
POSTMASTER HARRIS.
President Harris acted as toastmas-
ter and acquitted himself in his usual
exemplary manner. In his Introductory
remarks he referred enthusiastically to
the evidences of the broadening of
Ia Of
of Princeton, as evidenced by the re-
cent decision to give the alumni q rep
resentation on the board of trustees.
Prof. Wyckoff was introduced, with
many complimentary references, to re-
spond to the toast princeton Univer-
sty." In PREDATORY way, Prof.
Wyckoff made some happy illusions to
his eighteen months experience as q
common day laborer, and related a
number of humorous incidents connect
ed Herewith.
Alumni representation on the board
of trustees was made the chief topic
of Prof. Wyckoff's remarks. He re-
garded it as q concession which can not
help but work to the betterment of
Princeton. 1t will bring the alumni in
more direct contact with the govern
ment of the university and tend to a
broadening of University life and edu-
cation. He would not characterize it
as reform, but rather as a new form,
and was confident 1t will bring good
fruit
The more rapid development OF the
graduate school is one of the things
which, in Prof. Wyckoff's opinion, will
come with the entrance of alumni into
