After the banquet was over the fol-

Johns College, 4" DIR Thomas Fell
1.-The Navy. Lieut.. Commander
j. M. Poyer, u. S. N.
1.-THE Younger Alumni" A. W.
Woodcock, '03 The toastmaster was
Mr. II. Eugene Wathen, so. who is
also president of the Association.
DIR. Fell's remarks were somewhat
as follows He spoke first of Andrew
Carnegie's appropriation, saying Mr.
Carnegie decided on the uneven sum
of $16, 700 because it was the same
that the legislature gave the college
last year, outside of the special appro-
priation. 1t is necessary that a like
amount be raised by the college in
order to get this money and DR.. Fell
suggested that each class from 1871 TO
1905 give a sum of 5000, which would
make 81, 600 in all. DIR. Fell said he
would try to raise the remainder The
Doctor also spoke of the necessity Of
having a new physical laboratory, say
-
ed, having his physical laboratory
crowded into his recitation room. He
said that he did not doubt that Mr..
Carnegie would donate more money I'M
der similar conditions If the alumni
succeeded in raising this amount.
Mr.. Wathen, the toastmaster, then in
troduced Lient- Commander P0yer, u.
S. N, who was to respond to 1.-The
Navy" Commander Poyer's remarks
said in beginning that an officer Of the
Navy seldom gets chance to talk on
any subject at all, and that when he
does, he wants TO talk lot lie said
that the armor, gun and equipments
of our navy weTesof the best The navy
would deplore, as much as any of us,
q time when this armament should be
used in anything but peaceable drills
and manenyers, he said, but that when
it was required, they would be there
with a well trained. brave force. Com
mander Poyer said that although the
navy itself, its arms and equipment
were OF the best, the 81 eatest part of
it was inherited, namely,s their great
patriotism. He said that the navy
has had no real test in our day. The
PhilIippine war was no test. Al
though several features in it were very
encouraging. Once off Santiago, when
men we're needed for a dangerous SER
vice and volunteers were asked for,
the whole fleet responded. And, again,
when it was decided TO send Hobson
with the Merrimac and more volun
teers were asked, enough men came
forward to man fifty MeIrimacs. On
a recent occasion it vas decided to
send O certain ship ont to test her
firing. She was to sail at rate of
eight knots an hour, and at distance
of one mile to fire at target IL feet
wide and 2l feet long with her turret
guns. Her record was IS hits and no
misses There is no Navy in the world
whose ships can equal this record
Commander Poyer said that advance
ment is going on right at our own
door. The discipline and influence
which foster manliness and truth is at
its best in the Naval Academy, and
the greatest organizer and exponent
of discipliue and the best one TO help
in the good work is Admiral brown
son. He spoke of how the Navy ad-
mired the way St Johns won her
athletic contests from teams 10 much
higher class, and said that they had
sent good men 10 both West Point and
the Navy. He said that st. Johns
would be nearly as interested as the
two contestants in the football battle
which, will take place next fall Under
the inspiration of Carey and Howard,
of st. Johns.
prof. A. ". Woodcock. '03, was
next called upon TO speak on Ihe
Younger Alumni He said that the
spirit of the Younger alumni could be
summed up in few words" All for
ST Johns. none for self. Speaking
for the class of 1903, be said he
didn't doubt that the class would raise
their share of the So, O0O Mr.. u. y.
Fairbanks, 90, said he had written 70
4 few members of his class In regard
10 raising a fund to help meet that OF
Mr.. Carnegie, and that a great major

scribinp a certain amount.
DIR. Writ A. Dnval was next called

and the University of Maryland, 10
