strengthened its hold upon the hearts
OF the people OF Iowa. In the name of
those present and of the citizens of Den
lson he babe the guest thrice welcome
to the hearts and homes of our peo-
pie Speaking of Iowa Collegians MI
Conner spoke of the many great states
menand thinkers the colleges of,the state
had given to the world and interesting
all by telling what colleges many Of our
prominent men had attended. Mr.
Corners words of welcome were
hearty and sincere and called forth a
loud round of applause.
The toast master was at his best in in
Producing the guest of the evening,
President MacLean. Mr.. Kuehnle has
long been known as an enthusiastic and
helpful alumnus and all his love and
| loyalty found expression in introducing
the President to his alma mater
President MacLean was greeted with
a most pleasing ovation ana his speech
was punctuated with applause through
out. His speech was Iowa University
and it is needless 70 say that he did full
justice to his subject. He pointed out
how Iowa was entitled to be called a
University; told of its work and its pro-
gress and the Different colleges which
it embraced. He also dwelt upon it's
community of interests with the other
colleges Of the states and showed how
1t was not antagonistic to them in any
way. He spoke atlength of the grad
uate college" and the work it had been
doing in promoting original research
and told Of the helpful aud Christian in
tiuences OF the University. He said that
nearly half of the students We're by their
own efforts paying part or all of til cir
expenses and thai this showed that the
University was opening the way of op-
ertunity to the poor as we'll as the rich
young men and women We feel that
this brief account is utterly inadequate
to President MacLean's eloquent and
thoughtful address
Miss Minnie Bale represented the
ladies with charming toast to the Co
] Eds. , Her toast was thoroughly bright,
lteresting and original and showed
that IN her instance at least coeducatiou
has not been failure. Miss Bale spoke
of the recent action of Chicago Univer-
l =. nd to$ oh, 1>,1, ~,
cluslon OF the ladies from the class room
with the young men students would
prove a backward step.
Paving the Way" was the subject
assigned Superintendent H II, Savage.
and he spoke in a delightful way of the
work OF the public schools on prepar-
ing for higher educational work and in
implanting desire for the wider oppo, :
tunities offered by colleges and Univer-
stiles. Prof. Savage spoke both eloquel
ly..and wittily and his toast was much
J enjoyed.
Mr.. Sears Nc Henry, who is always
the Life OF any company in which he is
present. reminded the banqueters that
There are Others y His toast was in
, tended in mild way to let the Univer.
sity boys know that they were not the
''whole show, and this he did both
gracefully and wittily weaving 6
large amount Of good hard sense into
his humorous little talk.
''rhe Middle Ground" was the spac.
occupied by Prof. w. G. Van Ness, pres
ident of Denison College, He spoke
most entertainingly and we'll of thu
place held by the college of the type q
the one in Denison in atfording oppor
, tunitles to the young men and woneI
whose high school work was interrupt
ed or who did not feel that they coult
afford the time OF expense of Univer
sity course. Prof. Van Ness paid pleas
! ing compliments to the work of the col
l.ges Of Iowa and added largely to tn
enjoyment of the evening.
: The rather ambiguous toast, Let by
cones be Bygones" was responded t,
briefly by Mr. F. W Meyers.
One of the most thoughtful and elo
) quent toasts of the evening was that de
livered by Dr.. Emory Miller. His sub
Ject was "The College Leaven. and de
spite the lateness of the hour he wa
listened to with rapt attention. Unde
I the pressure of the many things to b.
, included ia this issue of the REVIEW
, we cannot attempt to do justice to tht
splendid thought, the glowing periods
the sparkling wit which this most clio
quent toast contained
After the banquet the guests tarriet
to again pay their respects to the CUES
of honor who had a personal word O
s greeting for all Those who planned
, the banquet and MI. j W. Miller upol
