his relations with the college prcsi-

pleasant He mentioned the fact that his
grandfather had been trustee. his father
a student and a trustee, he himself a stu
dent and president. and now his son was
student and would continue as such I'M
til he graduated. This last remark was
received with hearty applause.
DIR. Butler then went on to speak more
especially of the college and its present
needs. No one knows them better. per
haps, than DR.. Butler and no one would
certainly be more pleased to see them

in the future is assured. DR. Butler
closed his remarks with expressions of
warmest regard for the students and oil,
