 General Curtiss Guild, lieutenan gover- nor Of Massachusetts, who responded to the toast George Washington" He beautifully and aptly compared Wash ington and Lincoln and spoke of the opposition they had to contend with even from leading men. He further spoke of these difficulties which they had to contend with, in detail giving most interesting review on the subject His whole address was a most worthy one and appropriate to the occasion.
 Dr. Henry Wade Rogers, of Yale, spoke on the subject "Connecticut in \the Revolution" The speaker alluded to the fact that from the beginning to the end of the Revolution the men of Connecticut were united, faithful and fearless in their defense of the patriots cause. The early trials to which the people of the thirteen colonies were subjected were Interestingly discussed, and the part that Connecticut took in alleviating these trials was most heart fly endorsed. The work of Connecticut men in the councils and assemblies and their great and glorious achievements on the field of battle were chronicled by the speaker in manner that drew forth hearty outbursts of enthusiasm. The expenses of the Revolution and the part that Connecticut took in paying her share of the debt were Interestingly portrayed, The first aggressive blow struck at British power was accredited to Connecticut, this state conceiving the measure which resulted in the cap ture of Fort Ticonderoga.
 Patriotism and Public Servants" was the subject of Rev. pr. Watson L. Phil lips address. In brief, Dr. Phillips said: We are coming to take pride in our ancestry and to sacredly cherish those great names, deeds and places that have illuminated our history. It is con1mendable to keep fragrant the memory of the makers of history, for the. people which does not revere its heroes will soon cease producing heroes. To-day our public servants are our rul- ers.l And are they not our patriots? We can insist that public men are pub lie servants, that public office is not private cinch, and that patriotism is essential to the best service. Intelli- gent and self-sacrificing love of coun- try is patriotism. We want the patri- otism that gives. We have produced and shall continue to produce such pa- triots, for there is that in the air and the traditions of the republic which makes men,"
