Senator Elkins greeted the President as
follows:
Tonight furnishes the most important
social event in the life Of the club. which
brings it great honor and distinction. We
have among our guests the President Of
the United States, the Vice President, the
Speaker of tho House. Cabinet officers,
Senator's. Representatives, and other dis
tinguished persons. What greater honor
could come to a club or any assemblage
Of intelligent men than that Of entertain
Ing the President and the other distin-
guished persons I have named?
The President is here, also as a Yale
man Of the class OF rs, and above and
beyond ALL he is here as he is known of
all men-a good fellow. scattering sun
shine and roses wherever he goes. maxi
ing glad hearts. people happy and better,
and constantly doing graceful acts Of
kindness that weld hearts to him.
Tonight. laying aside for the moment
the cares and burdens of his great office,
he will mingle and mix with US as a
university man and good fellow
Champ Clark Serious.
Champ Clark. Of Missouri, told several
good stories, and then grew serious. after
jokingly alluding to his candidacy to the
Democratic nomination for President.
"On the subject of running for Presi-
dent I'm 1872 he said, Il am not having
insomnia trying to figure out how many
delegates I can get at the convention or
how many electoral votes there are, as
some of them are. All I'm saying is.
They might go further and do worse
and I rather think they will. as Tom
Reed once said, when his name was
mentioned in connection with the White
House
Representative Clark praised college
men, but he raped the modern grade
school system hard, declaring up-to-date
lower schools do not teach enough spell
ing mathematics. and English. He said
a large percentage Of the failures In
examinations for Annapolis and West
Point are in the rudiments that every
child ought to know.
Another fault he had TO find in educa-
ton as it is now, was in regard to ease
with which college degrees are captured.
There is something wrong with educa-
ton in the United States" he asserted,
when college men don't know how to
spell and write, and American college de-
grees mean nothing abroad. am in IA
vor-and you may not like my saying this
I am in favor OF making every college
man go before an authorized board before
he can have HIS diploma I don't think
colleges ought 10 be allowed to give de-
grees. There should be a general board
Of examiners 10 raise the standard. Then
our degrees would be respected in Eu-

job Hedges Scores HIT.
Job Hedges INDUCED in a series Of
clever epigrams and jokes on men Of the
hour that made one of the prime hits Of
the evening.
The lights went out, and when they
flashed up again there was a scene in
Judge Kimbalfs police court on the ros-
trum, with the venerable justice presld-
ing and policemen and court officers at
tending. Upon his orders they proceeded
TO try half dozen diners for petty Of
lenses in Judge Kimbaus most approved
manner
The feast ended by all singing Aud
