 Response by Prof. Dobbs. Professor W. NJ. Dobbs of Stockton delivered the response.
 Professor Dobbs said:
 MT. President, Ladies and Gentlemen In response to the ringing words ct | welcome to which we have just listen ed, let me say that my own personality must be lost, while I speak in behalf | of my fellow teachers of South Ala | bama. -
 In thanking you, sir, for this cordial --this Montgomery welcome be 1t known that we do not present an empty volume of words. While youns l Prince Blsmack was studying iiplc macy at St. Petersburg. he wrote tt l his wife that he was preparing to enter the diplomatic contests of Europe by learning to use thousand words without saying anything
 | But am glad to employ the Eng fish language long enough this morn. inR to give Montgomery blunt, hut cordial Southern Anglo saxon ''thank | you" for such a reception as this. It has been said that the world Is
 ruled by three boxes--the cartrids' box, the ballot box. and the band box would add to this potential trio another box potent---the chalk hox and on the part of the white xnishts' | of Alabama's chalk box express oui warmest appreciation of Montgomery | welcome.
 Montgomery! at once the cratic and the grave of the Confederacy: the pride of the Alabama, and the pride of Ala bama! How dear the name to South ern hearts.
 "The monarch may forget the efown
 That on his head 60 late hath been;
 The bride grom may forget the bridt 1 Was made his own, but yester cen;
 The mother may forget the babe
 That smiled SO sweetly on her knee,
 But forget thee will we ne'er Mont
 gomery.
 And all that thou hast done for us" At the conclusion of Protesso
