elaborate account of Tulane night" at
Tulane theatre in that city. "A Mid
summer Nights Dream" with Louis

but speeches We're made by President
Alderman and others.
The Times-Democrat thus describes
the ovation given DIR. Alderman IN this
occasion:
"a somewhat slender tail, pale
faced, with keen eyes and dark eye
brows and moustache. had quietly en-
tered box a and was shaking hands
with the administrators there One
glimpse OF him set the Tulane
half frantic. The boys in the gallery
rose az a body. Every hat was on and
waving. Canes were flung high in the
air; and then, like the sound OF waves
breaking roughly on the shore, came
one loud. spontaneous and prolonged
Well that seemed almost to shake and
shatter the ceiling overhead.
'The Tulane men had recognized the
tall. slender man in box A. He was DR..
Edwin A. Alderman. the president OF
the university"
