brother OF President Garfield and also
an alumnus Of Williams. was in the room.

at his older brother.
George w. Perkins undertook to be bit
serious on the subject Of cooperation,
which he offered as panacea for the ills
Of the body polite after the Rev John 5.
Zelie. president OF the New York Williams
men, had made a strong bid for gift for
the university from Mr.. Perkins. Mr. Per-
kins, however did not rise to the bait held
out so persuasively. unless It could be that
cooperation among the alumni was his
remedy for the ills Of the exchequer.
William G.. McAdoo. who was described
by Mr.. Zelie as presenting the appearance
of q professor of New Testament Greek in
stead Of that OF a bloated corporation presi-
dent got hearty round Of applause for
President Taft wnen he said that the Ca
madam reciprocity proposal was one act
of Mr.. Taft's administration that could re-

citizen OF the country without regard to
party affiliations.

little joke to his brother he enumerated MS
well known vicws on the duty OF the peo'
ple to uplift the masses and strive agains'

tenor OF all the speeches when they turned

a graduate Of Yale, took time enough IRON
his batting OF Harvard TO voice a few sen

Justice Alfred r. Page. OF the Supreme
Court. and Governor Wilson OF Kentucky
offered sentiments which were loudly ap

the corner OF the room as guests or the
alumni. They were heard to say tina
