and festive cheer. more than 200 members
and friends OF the Brooklyn Society Of
Nermonters came together at the annual
reception and banquet OF the society, at

teresting way. He developed the theory
that climatic conditions determine to a
large extent the temper and character Of
a people. As examples he cited how
the rough, bleak highlands OF Scotland
produced a stern, rugged, silent close
and canny race, while the changeable,
sprlngy climate Of Ireland nurtures a
people Of chid-hke temperament with
imaginative minds And so. he declared
the vigorous atmosphere OF the Green
Mountains had much to do with the
Sturdiness and endurance OF Vermonters
II was this well-known quality Of gritty
endurance that caused the order TO be
given in the march OF the Union army
10 Gettysbury, Put the Vermonters
ahead and keep The lines well closed up"
The Nermonter, however, il a hypo-
critic said DR.. Thomas. He has what
may be called the hypocrisy of ignorance
He likes to have you think that he does
mt know as much as he does and he
wants you to find out his wisdom for
yourself. He will listen to what you
say and stand with his mouth wide open
and from the expression on his face you
wouldn't think ne understood a word
you say. But he does. II is rather I'm
canny. Then there is hypocrisy OF pow
erty. Nermonter wants you to think
he isn't worth very much and he never
likes TO say how much money he has in
the bank. He prefers to give his neigh
bors the pleasure Of guessing and calcu-
lating mis- wealth"
President Thomas further remarked
upon the educational needs OF Vermont
and pointed out that the cost Of the
stadium recently presented to the Uni
yerslty Of Syracuse equals the present
endowment Of Middlebury college and he
urged the friends Of Vermont to use
their influence TO turn large gifts to the
support Of Vermont institutions
After the applause which followed Dr..
Thomas's address had subsidized. Wesley
+. Woodruff Of Wilkes Barre Pa, was
introduced as the guest Of the evening
and entertained the audience with a
brilliant and witty analysis OF New Eng
land character and ended by saying that
all that We hold highest and best in the
ideals and principles Of government in
this country is found in New England.

toast replied TO by Charles f Mathew
