Il was all of after that. He had to hold
reception for an hour or more. Then they

Some of the fl aternity men dug up some
where an old group picture OF Delta ULsilon
men taken in 1885 " hen the Lafayette Chap

them to do everything they could to insure
the selection of honest officials and clean
Judges and to make popular fearless and
square newspapers. Then he presented
President Fauncn Of Brown.
This is the biggest Delta U celebration
In its history" said President Faunce. "A
noted American once said that he would
rather have his fellow citizens put few
flowers in his buttonhole than pile a ton
Of roses and lilies on his grave. Laughter
Now, gentlemen, we are here tonight to
nut a few flowers OF love and respect in
the buttonhole Of Charles e. Hughes

and he is the same straightforward, honest,
brilliant man who is coming to be known
as Straightline Hughes.
DIR. Faunce got to talking about Boston
and spoke Of the epitaph that Bostonian
Onoe had: Born In Boston, educated at
Harvard, buried at Mount Auburn-what
more could mortal wish?' Then he recited
Gov. Hughes's career briefly. What more
could his fellow citizens ask?' said DR..
Faunce.
The president Of Brown complimented
the Governor of Rhode Island on efforts

and for demanding the removal ~of certain
Objectionable parsonage from the state
House"
Another type Of successful man has
come to be worshipped by the youth OF
to-day" said President Faunce. The type
Of twenty-five years ago Is no longer on
pedestal. The ideal is beginning to have
it's day. The man with dream is coming

Il could take time for only few hours
here, but l would have gone far to pay
the respects Of old Brown to Gov. Hughes.
God bless himI May he live long and pros
