The Last Day at the College

l
and one of the most important
/ and interesting. Notwithstand-
ing the lnclenency of the wealth
er, there was large gathering,
but by no manner of means what
would have been had the weather
been at all favorable.
Hon. r. M. Beattie, a 4promi-
nent lawyer of Memphis, Tenn,
! delivered the annual address.
He held his audience spell bound
for more than an hour in the del
livery of one of the ablest address
es ever delivered on similar
occasions.
Mr.. Beattie grad uated at this
institution, a member of the first
class, and reared here being a
son of the late lamented Capt.
John D. Beattie, and VIII o e
mother, Mrs. Fannie Beattie, a
brother, Mayor II. A. Beattie,
| and sister, Mrs. John A. Caroth.
ers reside here.
Mr.. Beattie did much credit to
himself, his subject and much
glory for the institution and TO
to the memory of those in whose
hands it was committed who
have passed over the river to
answer the last roll call.
No higher compliment could
have been paid to the present
president than by the distinguish
ed speaker which was univer,
sally pleasing to auditors.
We are of the opinion that if
any ever entertained an idea the
present president was not big
enough, capable and in every
respect worthy of the position
that he occupies, that is long
since been disipated as the mists
before the rising sun of bright
spring morn.
Hon. B. H. Lee, of Chicago,
son of Genl. S. D. Lee. the first
president of the A. & M. college,
presented q bronze, life size bust
of Genl. Lee. He could not be
present to make the presention
in person and deputized DR.. w.
H. Magruder, of the faculty, who
had served under his father dur
ing the war between the states
and for sixteen years while pres
ident of the college as a member
of the faculty.
We never heard more beautiful
language employed than on this
occasion, most fitting and becom-
ing and we'll delivered. The bust
is very life like indeed.
President Hardy responded in
accepting the great prize and it
was highly praised on all sides.
It was a sublime speech Of ac-
ceptance and so pronounced by
competent critics.
AS elsewhere Indicated, we can
but relterate that the session of
19O8-19O9 has been one of the
most prosperous and harmonious
terms within the history of this
great institution. In this con-
clusion we think practically all
all agree.
AS a whole we have never
come in contact with more man
ly, respectful and decorous body
of young men anywhere than for
the last twelve m o n tn tn e
students in attendance at the A.
& NC.
We are sincere in the assertion
for, it has been our fortune to
have seen many of them as 9TH
orc and observed. When the
new chapel is completed 1t will
add in many ways materially for
all interests of the college.

LUNDoulST.

Indianapolis, May 27.-The presideE-
tial postmasters In this state are in
favor of good roads. They talked over
the subject at their meeting In this
city and it was practically decided that
the Presidential Postmasters' associa-
ton will appoint legislative commit
tee which will go before the next ses-
sion of the legislature and seek to have
some good roads legislation passed
Numerous changes in the present laws
will be recommended and an effort
will be made to have such provisions
made as will guarantee good roads
over which the rural route carriers
may travel.
In many parts of the state the rural
carriers are obliged to work on bad
roads. 1t is to remedy such condi-
lions that the association will take
steps. The rural free delivery SER
vice has had such a wonderful mush
room growth and has developed so rap
idly that it has been difficult for
some of the counties to keep up with
are concerned. This has caused much
complaint on the part of the rural car
riers, and the postmasters hope to
| bring about relief for them.
Oh You Gary Town!
The victory of Gary over Indianapo-
lis for the honor of entertaining the
next annual convention of the post
masters was due principally to the eff
forts of A. G. Lundquist. postmaster
at Indiana Harbor. Lundquist ap-
peared in the Denison hotel lobby all
during the convention, singing Il love
you, Indianapolis. but, oh, you Gary"
He told the postmasters to come to
Gary next year and see city that
has population of $4,000 at night and
10000 in the daytime. When the
vote was taken Lundquist won for Ga
ny by vote of 80 to "a.
One of the most important matters
the postmasters considered at their
meeting was the proposition to have
rural carriers placed under the civil
service rules, carriers to be selected
after examinations and being placed on
the eligible list. It is the intention OF
the Indiana postmasters to lay the
matter before the posoffice department
and see If it can not be put into effect.
