Class Reunion Speakers,

President Hyde, on . account
of time, now limited the speeches to
three minutes. and called on the classes
holding reunions. James A. Howe of
the Class of 1859. said this was his first
address to Bowdoin since 1859. He had
watched with great interest the pro-
gress of the college to it's high degree
of prosperity. but this point is by no
means its highest He felt sure that an
other million was coming to be used
by ROwdoin. 1t is an era of liberality
shared by all colleges. A greater col
lege influence will flow over the whole
country. Bowdoin has given an exam
pie in Gen. Chamberlain and Gen. How
ard. two great literary men, 300 in law
and an equal number in medicine. Dr.
Mitchell is a grand example, but
doubt il he is superior. Prof. Bracket
of Princeton and DIR. King all belong
ing to 1853. 1t is a cruel injustice to
pick out a few from SO many who are
scattering the influence of Bowdoin
and the kingdom of God. For the class
of 1869 Fred TT. Boardman of Mime
apolis. He said that the class came
back to visit it's mother and live over
old scenes, and We're greatly gratified
to learn of the high financial and moral
standing of the college. He spoke of
Luther Burbank of California, who has
made inVual bleadiscoveries for the use
of the world. LET us resolve to stand
for the right; dig down to the rock
OF honor, truth, justice and right"
For "a Rev. Oliver w. Sleeves of
Springfield said that his class was the
most remarkable one for it's modesty
In behalf of the class he brought a
pledge Of unstinted, undying loyalty.
For 'S9 Judge J.. Frank Staples was
introduced as the man who tried the
hardest to get out of DR.. Whittier's re-
CURED gymnasium. He said the class
was glad to renew old associations and
their love and fealty to their alma ma
ter. He was proud that the college in
its days of poverty had never claimed
the accumulated wealth of the State
of Maine as it's private endowment.
With sturdy independence they have
prospered. He hoped that the college
would be proud to acknowledge the
class of 1889 as a true and loyal son.
For '94 Rev. Fred J. Libby spoke for
new gymnasium. For '99 Wallace II.
White said the class of '99 was climb
ing the ladder and hoped sometime to
be classed among the first Prof. John
William Gordon of the Glass of 'O4
Jack Frost" said that 'O4 was second
to none in loyalty to Bowdoin. This
closed the banquet.

endowment This has already been
translated by the action of the trus-
tees and overseerS into variety of
forms of increased efficiency The de-
felt is stopped Salaries have been
raised.
For years we have been training
professors for other colleges. The tide
has turned. This year we call back
the best teacher of languages we ever
had, who left us for anqher college
two years ago. We retain a teacher
and college officer; in spite of a call
to professorship in his own alma
mater. a leading New England col
lege. We take from two other New
England colleges instructors who there
have proved their worth We add to
our teaching force two other highly
commended men from leading uni
versity .-4
Hazing has disappeared The good
order of the college has justified us in
abolishing the jury with it's punitive
functions, and establishing an ad-
visory student council, with conserva-
tive aims in its place. The moral
tone and self-control of the student
body is higher than ever; and officers
who arrest Bowdoin students on gen.
eral principles, find themselves mis-
taken.
With rising requirements, and great
ly increased strictness in their inter-
probation, the number of students is
steadily increasing; especially the
number from outside the State. In
experienced temporary instructors on
the one hand, and unframed special
students on the other hand are re-
duced to minimum; and good teach
ing and hard study are happily COM
bined.
He then announced that the Davis
William Snow trophy was won this
year by the Glass of 1869, with 80 $40
per cent. of it's living members back,
with the Glass of 1879 second, with so
per cent.

HYDE arose and announced that Prof
Henry l.. Chapman would lead IN sing
ing the college hymn. At this announce
mont and when that dear old mar
arose. every man present jumped to his
feet and the cheers and applause that
fl,ed the hall was deafening. All joined
in the singing:
Let children hear the mighty, deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younSer"yearS we saw
And which our fathers told.
He bids us make His Elor1es KNOWN
His works of power and grace:
And Wen convey His wonders down
To every rising race.
Our lips shall tell them to our sons
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn
MAY teach them to their helrs'
Thus shall they learn and God alone
Their hope securely stands ,.,.s
That they may ne'er forget ms "orhs'

Gov. Bert M. FernaId.

President Hyde announced His Excel
lency, Governor Fernald. When he
arose all jumped to their feet and
greeted him with long cheers. He said
that he had seriously intended to be
funny today, but the scenes Of femi-
nine loneliness and scenic beauty on
all hands had so impressed him that
he felt like preaching instead. 1t is the
duty of every man of Maine to achieve
success, which comes only by patience,
perseverance, and hard work. Success
is not to stand at the head of an insti-
tuition or to be Governor of the State,
but to make two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before. The black
smith who understands the anatomy
of a horses foot is successful. Where
are more successful men thar are

stuticn at Brunswick The State of

deared to 40 Glasses. He was greeted
with rounds of applause. He thanked
all for their hearty greetings All had
charm to recognize to loyalty of the
graduates. 1t is a privilege to be asso-
ciated with many generations of Bow
dom students. sufficiently to give and
in generous ard unstinted regards To
be permitted for many years to live in
close relation with alma mater and
teach hundreds of students and max
ing 50 many friends. There is no gener-
al good will unless there is frank
recognition of the faults as we'll as viz
tues OH both sides. He caused much
laughter by his references to the way
the students took adjourns. He quoted,

General Thomas II. Hubbard the
next speaker, the great bcnefaction to
Bowdoin. Gen. Hubbard said he hop
ed the contributors will continue their
good work. He paved a beautiful
tribute to the faculty. those men to
live modest lives, who work for the
sake of work which will bring results
and not for public applause. We
should show our appreciation for these
men and let them know that they are
not forgotten. and are in our minds
and their work is seen and noticed ,by
the alumni and friends of the college.
Enough were present to testify to the
pure feeling of devotion to the faculty.

Justice Albert r. Savage.

Justice Albert Il. Savage was next
introduced as d man known and hon
ored for his progressional skill and
service. and father of one of the best
scholars Bowdoin ever had. He said
he was glad to be here, but could not
make speech in the heat that pre-
vailed. He was deeply grateful for the
honor conferred upon him today. AL
though he had not the privilege of be-
ing born in the State and did not
come early under the influence of
Bowdoin, he did as well as he could
and attended college in New Hamp-
shire which Gov. Quimby has said was
the next best state to Maine. He was
proud that he was now a naturalZesl

largely through presidents, professors

Mrs. William Franklin Ernst.
The developments Of the last few
days in connection with the efforts Of
Mrs. Ernst to recover $4,000 on an
alleged -nuptial agreement with
the dashing Count Santa Eulalia have
astonished Chicago society leaders.
She insists that she arranged the
counts match with Mrs. John b. Stet-
son, millionaire widow of the famous
hat manufacturer, even going to the
extreme OF writing his love letters for
him.

RouRkE FoR JUDGE.

There seems to be q strong senti-
ment for the supreme bench. Several
papers, including those published In
his home city, are saying kindly things
about Mr.. Rourke. Editor stickley OF

lowing:
It is with pleasure we note that some
Of the press boys have mentioned Hon
p. II. Rourke, Of Lisbon, as good tim
Der for q candidate for supreme judge
While 1t is little early to speculate
upon possibilities for any office, yet
there will be nothing wrong in an ex-
preston of opinion at this time. II
can be said without fear Of contradic-
ton that Mr.. Rourke is one Of the very
best men for this position which the
state Affords He is a. man ripe In
years Of service in his profession;
thoroughly versed in the science OF
law; a man of wide and varied ex-
perience in all courts; tried in many
positions Of trust and never found
wanting, but always doing his duty as
he found 1t. He is thinker, a stu
dent; one Of the best known men in
this state, and probably has. had as
much to do with the establishment OF
