REV. CORNELIUS BRETT'S WELCOME

Last night in the Union League Club
there took place a banquet of the
"Cireulus Hominum Universitatis Comi-
tatus Hudsoni Civitatis Novae Caesarae,' -
so the menu read. That's Latin, although
to some it may be Greek. In plain English
it means the University Club of this
county. There was a distinct classic tone
to the dinner, heightened by the presence
of the learned professors of famous Alma
Matters and the menu written in the
language of Horace. The menu was very
unique and took the form of a diploma,
red seal and all, bringing to the grads
and '.undergrads" memories of those
happy days, when as one speaker said
they sat on the campus fence. and sang
college songs. More "reminiscences were
revived by the dining rooms walls being
hung with flags of Yale, Harvard. New
YORK, Princeton and Cornell Universities
iRte-aiingled with silken Stars and
Stripes. At he end of the room was a
small table where sat the president of
the club, Rev. Cornelius Brett, D.. D.,

work done. The object Of the club was
to create in Jersey City love tar col

p1se) On college men, he continued,
were imposed the duties towards the city
in which they lived. Judges of this city
were graduates of colleges. The speaker
dep-ored the fact that college men were
not represented in the Board of Aldermen
and even few were in the Board of
Education. Perhaps, he said, that was
owing to lack of pull by college men, who
should press forward and take their
places in the city government.
