SPEECHES AT THE TREE
The first speech at the tree was by
Howard Joseph white. one Of the most
popular men IN the class. He came 10
Brown from the Classical high school OF
this city. taking three entrance examina-
tion prizes He was elected TO Phi Beta
Kappa last year.
He has been a junior marshal and man

they do noble work, but Brown men

party from Slater hall. and another from
"the rest OF EN- we will always have
dissension. We have no reason for such
conditions here. We should elect the best
men 10 office without regard to their
dormitories or fraternties.
If every student should realize the val
ue of Independent suffrage, college poll
tics would disappear forever we would
have the best men I'm the best places. and
Brown would be where II belongs-second

Doubtless another cause of the general
apathy Is the large number OF city stu
dents. the 'lunch-box fraternity" as
Jerry once styled them.
SPIRIT OF COLLEGE LIFE.
Ii Is college life and it's activities that
makes men, not merely the education.
So you Providence men need this ad-
vice; try TO break away from domestic
apron-strings. and realize that by miss
ing college life you miss the most import
ant features of your college education.
Now. there Is not man among you
that has. not ability. Your admission to
the university proves that, every man
should have ambition. With these two
comes self-realization, which means BE
somebody" IL Is not for any man to re-
vive Brown sport. but for every man TO
do his duty in the fullest sense OF the
word 10 himself. his family. his frater-
nifty and his class but before all, and
above all, to Brown.
UNIVERSITY AND CITY.
The second speech at the tree was by
Frederick Henry Gabbi who is also
Providence man. very popular with his
class and a good speaker His subject
was The Relation Between the Univer-
sity and the city"
MIR Gabbl explained that he had chosen
such theme because his home is here
I'm the city and he has been able to study
his subject from the point Of view OF
the citizen as well as Of the student. lie
continued:
Since the class OF 1902 first climbed the
Hill many memorable events have taken
place which will always remain among
the traditions and history Of the college.
We remember the famous victory over
Princeton and the following celebration,
which the FIRE department OF the city
helped 90 make such a great success. We
all recall the kidnapping affair OF 1902
and the two celebrations Of the birthday
of thu Father OF our Country"
But We have some things TO regret In
these affairs. especially the attendance
OF street gamlns from downtown.

stretching strings of light across the
streets, 1t Is intended to group the
lighting in seventeen courts of hon
