THE SPEECHES.
As Is usual, Prof. Chapman lead the
singing of the college hymn with which
the post prandial exercises began and
the gymnasium rang again with the IA
miliar air.
President Hyde omitted his usual rs-
marks owing to the heat. He also gave
some good advice to the speakers in the
shape of an injunction to cut their re-
marks in two, then introduced Prof
John 5. Sewall, who read a resolution
expressing the love and admiration Of
the alumni for the Hon. ]. W. Brad
bury CT Augusta, the sole surviving
member of the famous class Of 1925.
This was adopted by rising vote.
President Hyde alluded TO the way in
which the graduates had today spoken
for the literary work of the college; the
college teams at the meets at Worcester
and Brunswick, for the athletics.
= The material needs of the college had
been represented by Gen. Hubbard. This
reference to the donor of the new library
building was yociferously applauded,
President Hyde also alluded to the APP
pointment of the committee to raise the
endowment of the college to 81 COO, QUO.
Then the president presented as the
first speaker Chief Justice Wiswell, on
whom the college had just conferred
The degrees of doctor of laws.
CHIEF JUSTICE wISwELL.
Judge Wiswell, as he always does.
spoke gracefully and appropriately.
The chief justice spoke earnestly. Of
the desirability OF the young men OF
Maine who intend to make Maine their
home, attending the state colleges, land
OF course, he said, ''if l was asked for
advice l should tell them to come to
Bowdoin.
GEN. O. o. HOWARD.
In introducing Gen. Howard, Presi-
dent Hyde said that the General would
be expected to respond for the United
States, the trustees of the college and his
class, which graduated over half a CEN
tury ago. AS the gray-haired veteran
stood under the American flags draped
over the Presidents table, his empty
sleeve bearing with ess to his valor,
the four hundred men rose from their
places at the long tables and cheered
him again and again. Gen. Howard
referred to the flags with which the room
was adorned and said that they spoke
for the country everywhere, even in the
Philippines and in China, inst beyond.
Gen. Howard earnestly deprecated the
modern habit of charging public men
with being corrupt. He said he did not
believe the senators and representatives
In Congress could be bought.
HON. CHARLES Il. LIBBY.
President Charles +. Libby Of the
Board of Overseers, was next called upon
and warmly received. Mr.. Libby ex-
pressed the belief that in the future the
college would continue to hold its posi-
ton of prominence among the education
al institutions of the land.
1.-The events of the last two years" he
said, ''have placed before the nation
problems which no one can yet estimate"
MIR. Libby hoped that Bowdoin would
in the future take such a rart in the So
luton of these problems as she has al
ready taken.
HON. W. W. THOMAS.
Then President Hyde called upon
Hon. WV. Thomas, minister to Sweden.
MIR. President, If 1 am only going to
make half "a speech, l want to shoot from
a high level,' said Mr.. Thomas as he
mounted chair.
