Chief John c. Morton, in opening the
proceedings. said:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the New Haven Caledo-
MAN club welcome you to it's thirty.
fifth annual celebration of the anniver-
sary of the birth of our national poet,
Robert Burns. All over the civilized
globe, wherever Scotsmen are gathered
tonight, they will be celebrating in
some way or manner the birth of that
ploughman bard. And tonight IN New
Haven we may be pardoned if for two
short hours we forget the land Of our
adoption and let our thoughts be carried
back to that little land of crag and
heather, that land that has given to the
world SO many great and brilliant men
that country that produced the i'm
mortal Robert Burns. That star that
arose in that little matched cot in the
Aud Toon Q Aye one hundred and for
ty-six years ago, has meier grown dim,
but as the years roll on is growing
brighter and brighter, not only to
Scotsmen, but to all liberty-loying peo-
Pile the world DER. For Burns was a
man of the people; his songs and poems
have been the great factor of inculca-
ting in the hearts of men, be they peer
or peasant, that feeling of brotherhood
that man to man the world Ger shall
brothers be for a. that. That is why we
meet here once a year under the aus
pieces of the New Haven Caledonian
club to perpetuate the memory of one
who has done so much for humanity,
and although that brilliant mind was
often clouded with misfortune we must
not forget that he had a heart that beat
warm and true for the land that gave
him birth:
He'll have misfortunes great and sma',
But aye heart aboon them a.;
He'll be a credit tao us a.
Wen a. be prood O. Robin.
In closing / wish to say few words
in behalf of theNew Haven CALIFORNIAN
club. Organized thirty-five years ago
by a number of Scotsmen, some Of
whom are with us this evening. the So
ciety has grown in members and influ
ence and at the present time is in the
front rank of social organization. It's
aims and objects are the preservation
of the ancient literature and costumes,
and the encouragement and practice of
the ancient games Of Caledonia also to
foster and enlarge those impulses of the
heart that bind Scotchmen together in
the bonds of brotherhood, and I would
extend cordial invitation to all
Scotchmen who are not affiliated with
the club to do so. Thanking you, ladies
and gentlemen, for your kind attention,
