Port Deposit, Md. oct. %, '02.
NV dear Prof. I.ewis:-I need not tell
YOU am pleased to have your invita-
ton to attend Maine night. You
know that and the boys know it. Not
an invitation to be here with the PrCSi-
dent. himself, could give me more sat
isfactiou. If there is any one thing in
which / am affcCtionately Interested
more than another, it is the University
of Maine. And my heart beats quicker,
and my face will smile, in spite Of me
| when | hear of her success. The pre-
sent success is the harvest, we hoped
for AGAINST hope, during many years of
sowing.
If it seemed practicable to accept the
invitation the expense would not stand
! in the way, but | would be glad to give
/ it to the cause. There are several
| things that forbid my going to Maine.
Tell The boys | shall watch for the re-
| suits of the Bowdoin game with the
\ greatest anxiety. They must win. On
| the field. and in the hall; in teachers
and in taught; in cheers and in spirit;
may the Mother on the Hill have the
| best in all Things.
Yours very truly,
(Sicned) A. w. HARRIS.
