In few words Howard E. Alcott, re-

He recounted the organization of the
Association, related the many good things
it had accomplished and called attention
to the other beneficial acts it hopes to
carry to completion. The University

and the Alumni Association has given
this form of instructive entertainment
annually, sometimes at financial loss.

programme would proceed without special
announcement.

Fred L. Krayer spoke for the class of
1909 He told that the members of the
class were both sorry and glad that the
school days were over. Sorry because
congenial set of classmates would be
separated, but he was glad that they
would have chance to occasionally renew
their pleasant relations because they were
now entitled to become members of the
Alumni Association and could aid in the
good work that was to follow in the future.
Miss Margaret j. Ross, an instructor in
the High school, sang solo which
captivated the audience.
The address of the evening was by Rev.

good fortune during his brief residence
here. He referred to his attendance at
the commencement exercises of Dickinson

very favorably with the events of the
higher institution. Speaking along the
lines of the value of education he paid a
glowing tribute to the public schools In
general and said they were doing great
work all over the la md. Mr.. Harris is very
pleasant and forcible speaker and his re-
marks were highly appreciated by his
hearers.

Byron Grigg, Aubrey s. Worrell, Warren
VanDerveer and Morris e Perinchief
rendered popular selection, and the last
number on the programme. "Auld Lang
