 Prof. Bailey was introduced as the first speaker. He said: I have not come here tonight to say something about Yale in lighter vein. l say that the university is doing a great work and is benefting the men who come here for instruction. Of course there are some exceptions, but if man comes here with a cotton string instead of a backbone the university is not to blame for the, results. The Yale spirit is a fine thing for any man. It means fight to the last ditch.
 When I was in college we had two natural enemies-the faculty and the town. Since that day the feeling has changed. Although I have been member of the faculty for ten years have never had disrespectful re- mark directed to me. I have read that the feeling between the gown and the town ran high, but I do not believe that the students were entirely to blame
 Better relations now exist between the town and gown. Courses for work ing men are being offered in the Shelf field scientific school. In some of the courses there are more workingmen registered than students, and these working men received more in scholar ship that they pay in tuition. Wool sey hall is given for uses by the university whenever anything for the benefit of the working men is planned. There are now 200 lectures offered this year that are open to New Haven cit- izens. l feel certain that the union between town and gown will grow armer.
 Colonel J. F. Supplee was next intro duced. He said, in part: l want to pay a tribute to the college that covers most of your state. Yale is the most Ameri- can of all the colleges on this continent. The college that was founded with donation of 800 pounds and few books will do more for America than Chicago university, with all it's Rockefeller mill lions, in the next one hundred years. No university has been truer to the na- tional spirit, and truer to the New Eng land spirit, which has no equal in the world.
 Coming as I do from Maryland, I have been asked to say a few words about the Jamestown Tercentennial ex- position. It will be the grandest and best exposition of American prowess and progress that this continent has since the days when Sir Wal ter Raleigh sent out his colonists. It will challenge the admiration of the world.
 Colonel supplee denounced the taint of greed and graft which has attacked our national system but he extolled the strife for glory which had given this country it's high rank among the powers of the world, and which would bring us a still more exalted position by the completion of the isthmian ca- nal.
 Governor Woodruff was next intro duced He confined himself to an ac- count of his efforts to get a sufficient appropriation to give Connecticut a first-class exhibition at the Jamestown exposition, and he said that he would use his utmost efforts to get an addi- tional appropriation from the general assembly for this purpose.
 During his remarks the governor took occasion to present to John M Cramp- ton. of this city, his commission as a commissioner of fisheries and game. MT. Crampton thanked the governor with appropriate words and said that he hoped that at the end of his term as governor he would have the oppor- tunity of voting for him for congress- man from this district.
 E. F. somers, freight traffic manager of the New Haven railroad, was next called upon He said that the prosper ity of New Haven was, to great ex- tent, the prosperity of the New Haven railroad. He said that the railroad was trying to deal justly by the people. We have m proposition in view he de- clared, that is not more for the inter- ests of the people of New Haven than for the railroad. He deplored the ex- tstence of a law which handicaps the railroad in moving it's freight cars, and said that the delays caused meant more harm to the manufacturers than to the railroad. Lteutenant-G Governor Lake was then introduced. He said that he, was much impressed with the importance of New Haven to the state O fConnecticut, and he was convinced that wero it nof for New Haven this state could not be what it is.
 E. B. Hostetter was called upon to speak upon Our British Relations" He expressed the sincere thanks of the United British Loyaffst society of New York city for the. sympathy and aid which America had rendered Jamaica in the recent disaster
 On the request of a large number of the gentlemen present T. E. Byrnes, first vice-president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, was asked by the postmaster to make few remarks. He said;
 We have need of optimists halie,,e
