At the conclusion of the dinner Presi-
dent Daniel Van. Wrinkle delivered the
address of welcome. He spoke in face
tious strain ON educational matters and
then took up the subject in serious
manner. The strenuous college life advo-
Gated by certain colleges was too much
for the student, he said, and caused stu
dents to go to premature graves. He
said that the brain was over-taxed with
the great amount of work mapped out
for it, and that it was detrimental to
both mind and body. x ss
President Alexander g. Humphreys, of
Stevens Institute, was cheered as he was
introduced. President Humphreys took
Technical Education as his subject
He said that this form of education was
largely instrumental in developing the
natural resources of the country. He
then went on to tell of the first technical
education taught in this ceuntry, saying
that the first school was formed in New
York in 1924. He spoke of the gradual
increase in this line and Of the schools
now in existence. The speaker said that
there was no doubt that this form of
education was largely responsible for the
present prosperous condition of this coun-
try.
The Government, he said, never as
sisted in any way in developing the work
and the only thing it did for Stevens was
to collect collateral inheritance tax Of
$45,O0O, which the institute had been
!. fighting to get back for years.
President Austin Scott, of Rutgers, fol
lowed with an interesting talk on Our
State and Education He said, among
sother things, that the rest of the United

New Jersey could furnish material to
build up the entire country again. He
said all Jerseymen should feel proud of
their State and of the part it played in
framing the National constitution
