MAJOR LUIGI MARTINI-MANCINI.

In substance ii was as follows
MIR. Toastmaster, Alumni and Gen
tlemen:-
1T is with mingled emotions of
pleasure and regret that | speak to
you a few moments tonight on a
character that has been inseparably
blended with the many successes and
failures OF our Institute for the last
eleven years; pleasure that | may add
a little to the faithful recognition
of his efficient services, regret that
my talk must of necessity be in the
nature of a farewell and Godspeed.
Major Martins name has seldom
been mentioned in connection with
the wonderful growth of our Alma
mater. but We all know that no move
ment in behalf of her welfare and ad
vancement has been launched that he
has not been vitally and effectually
interested in. He came TO us when
our school was in it's infancy, when
it was struggling for its very exis-
tence. With the fond interest of a
father for it's child he has watched it
grow from it's insignificance to one OF
The foremost military schools in our
land. His cheerful disposition and
wide circle of friends have done
much to demand the recognition and
administration of the high character
Of our Institute. Foreign born of al
most noble family, he has become
thoroughly inbued with American
ideas and ideals. To his foreign birth,
education and draining. however, Is
due his success as Instructor of Ro-
nance Languages and the high state
efficiency of that department to
which he has devoted the best elev-
en- years of his life.
A scholar. a deep thinker. a refin-
ell and courteous gentleman, a gener-
Gus and faithful friend is Major Mar
tint yet modest and unassuming.
The Board of regents regret that
he will no longer be connected with
the Institute; the Superintendent
will miss not only his conscientious
nainstaking and faithful work, but
will miss the intimate companion
ship: the Alumni will lose one of the
staunchest supporters of the Alma
Mater; the Faculty a broad minded
highly educated co-worker and a con
genial companion: the Cadets a most
efficient Instructor and a true friend
always. Indeed the whole communi-
| ~ will regret his leaving, to them
a warm personal friend and hearty
| contributor and enthusiast for the
| advancement of any public enter
| prise.
I'VE. the Alumni. expressing the
| heartfelt sentiments of the Board OF
regents. the superintendent, the ca
det body. faculty and entire connu
| nifty bid him God-speed in all of his
| future efforts, and it is the sinceresi
| wish of each one Of us that he may
| find gratitude and unending success
in any field he may enter"
The alumni Association of the In
| stitute held a meeting in the gy-nna
| sium at 10 O'Clock, Tuesday morning
May Is this year. Strong resolutions
| were adopted commendatOry te
| Count Martini by both the first and
second classes.
| While the leaving of Count Mar
| tint Is deeply ueplored Thy hundreds
of friends here they will be gratified
| that he is bettering himself and has
secured a most lucrative position as
