Phoenix Repnhllcan.l

FnOenlxp RePuDucan.D
The third annual dinner of the Har-
ward Club of Arizona. which was held
in the Hotel Adams last evening was
by far the most successful ever held
In this city. 1t represents the results
OF three years work in organizing the
Harvard contingent in Arizona, and
was exceedingly, creditable showing.
The absence of Governor Kibbey and
OF Mr.. B. A. Fowler, an honorary
member of the club, though a Yale
man who were called suddenly to
Globe on business connected with the
Water Users association was regretted
very much w. F. Nichols, secretary
of the territory, however, admirably
represented the executive. and spoke
at length of the remarkable growth
Arizona has known in the twenty
eight years ne has been a resident of
it. The members turned out in force,
and aided by the singing, which was
long and loud, thoroughly enjoyed
themselves.
Judge Kent presided in his usual
s=lea sin g e.ea a 60 {: raS
dinner hsgan at 500 and was nra-
ceded by the annual business meeting.
Chief Justice Edward Kent OF Phoenix
was elected president for the ensuing
year, and G. L. Jones of Silver Bell,
secretary. The club then provided
for tae medal which it has been
awarding annually at the Tempe Nor
NAL school, and listened to the report
of Professor Hall of Tempe, on the in
fluence the yearly contest for the
medal is having on the students Of
the senior class.
The dinner was followed by speech
es of various members, among which
the most interesting was the report OF
| Mr.. Bernard Cunniff, of Crown King,
who was reelected chairman of his
committee, which is devoting its at
tention to the interests OF the men
| finishing the mining courses at Har-
ward, who are looking toward Arizona
| as a possible location. Il was crafty
| ing to learn that IN the past year
| five recent graduates have arrived In
the territory where they expect to
make mining their business.
The speech of DR.. Babcock of Tue
I son, president of the University Of
Arizona, was exceedingly well deliv-
| cred. He dwelt at length upon the
| spread of Harvard influence in the
country generally, and particularly. In
those outposts of civilization where
strength and right living are so inn
portant to the civic development Of
the commonwealth. He said that Har-
ward had led in the building OF the
commemorative of the east, indeed,
| during the whole building up OF the
country: and that he judged from the
precedents established and from the
character Of tbs Harvard men who
came 20 i've IN Arizona, that he was
confident the future would see them
also in the work of building for state
hood. Part Of the influence OF his
own university at Tucson upon its
students was due to the fact that
there are at this time in his faculty
| four Harvard men. TIE traditions OF
truth for which Harvard stands, are
being handed down to a younger gen
GRAFTON. he declared. from many Of the
newer seats Of learning.
Prof. II. D. Evans told interestingly
Of the work OF his boys school at
Mesa and other speakers reported on
the agricultural, mining, political and
other activities Of the territory aud
the relation of Harvard men to these
The meeting broke up with three long
Harvard cheers for Precedent Raese-
welt.
Those Who sat down to the dinner
were Professors J. F. Hall ana E. g.
| Wade of Tempe: DR.. H. c. Babcock
OF Tucson; Wallace Fairbank and NJ.
