BERKELEY, March 22.-Scores Of
prominent people from Oakland, san
Francisco and Berkeley, who were
bidden to meet President Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia University
and his bride. who was Kate de la
Montanya of New York, gathered in
Hearst Hall tonight by invitation of
President Benjamin lde Wheeler and
Mrs Wheeler.
The guests of honor were delayed
on their journey today from Los An
geles so that but few minutes
elapsed between the time when they
stepped from the train to the hour
for their appearance at the reception,
but the circumstance did not mar the
AFFAIR. which had been arranged to
celebrate their coming to the univer-
sity. President Butler beamed as
becomes q bridegroom upon the hun
dreds of Californians who were anX-
ious to do honor to him and to his
charming bride He made humorous
reference to the washouts that de-
layed him while en- route from the
south. 1t was deemed inevitable that
such references to the glorious cli-
mate" of the State should be forth
coming. and their use tonight was not
regarded as altogether amiss.
Hearst Hall had been decorated for
the reception. beautiful cut flowers.
potted plants, drapery and soft shaded
lights combining to make the place
rarely attractive. An orchestra from
Oakland provided music during the
evening.
President Wheeler and Mrs. Wheeler
received the hundreds of friends who
responded to the invitation to join
in welcoming the head of Columbia
University and his bride. Before the
throng had been made formally ac-
quainted with the New York guests
President Wheeler made short
speech felicitating the University of
California and the people of the bay
region upon President Buffers pres
ence here and upon their opportunity
to meet and hear the distinguished
president of Columbia, referring to
the Charter day address which But
Ter is to deliver in the Greek Theater
tomorrow afternoon.
Butler responded to the cordial well
come voiced by DR.. Wheeler, express
ly in Berkeley" He paid tribute to
the courage and intelligence of a
people which had risen stanchly
from the blow dealt the region in April
of last year, and expressed his ad-
miration for those qualities that have
