ALUMNI OF UNION DINE
Twenty fifth Annual Reunion
Held at Manhattan.

The Union College Alumni Association
held It's twenty-ffth annual reunion and
dinner at the Hotel Manhattan last night
Among the speakers were the Rev.
George Alexander. IS. president of the
association; DR.. Frank Coe Barnes. sec
rotary to the faculty; the Rev. William
w. Belinger, SO: Frederick T. Dawson
and the Rev. Charles Alexander Rich
mond, president of the college. DIR. Rich
mond said that the loyalty Of Union men
TO their college was unexcelled.
THE improvements In our own college.
he said. ARE but one aspect OF the I'm
provements in colleges all over the coun-
try. The philosophy OF college deter
mines its value. Another thing that de-
termines it's worth is the relation between
professors and students. Where that re-
lation is close and sympathetic the work
OF the institution will be far more effec-
tive than where IL is weak. Union Col
lege has always been fortunate in the eX-
tremely cordial relation existing between
its students and professors. We hear
much to-day about efficiency In colleges.
We should beware OF substituting eff
cheney for education. of mistaking the
means for the end
DR.. Barnes declared that he had been
I'm Union College for nine years. and had
never had to punish any student during
that period. This record, he thought,
could be duplicated in few other colleges.
After the speeches a large harp was
brought in, and Dr. Richmond, In re-
sponse TO the request OF the guests, sang
old folk songs to his own accompaniment.
Those present included George Alexan-
dor 'ss: Charles f. Patterson. go; r. L.

.ha barbaric splendor Of rich Oriental
.ohss and in the overwhelming mad
.orrival Of the "farandole," danced for
tbe FIRST time in London.
Every quarter of Asia was repre-
. ssnted in the kaleidoscope scene.
ladies Of the harem, fair beauties from
Kasbmir and contemporary bellies of
Raedad mingled with ancient warriors
Of the samurai, Maharajahs, Caliphs,
Grand Viziers, numerous Mikados
siamese merchants and princes Of old
Japan.
II was established beyond a doubt
that English women look well in any
euise. for. although we'll known London
beauties baifled identification in many
cases. it was generally admitted that
they wore Turkish dress with especial
charm and elegance. The destinations
of the yasbmak never appeared so tan
talizing. Moorish dress proved the
most popular. and a glance from high
boxes showed the fine effects of a judi
cious mingling OF gold and black
among the bizarre colorings, some,
however, Of London manufacture.
Eastern princes were not altogether
put In the shade by the presence OF n
real maharajah. the ruler of Whalawar,
who wore his finest state robes. in
crusted with gems worth the tradi-
tlonal kings ransom, the very brocades
OF his dress being identical with that
which he wore at the imperial Durbar
year ago.
Turbans were worn by all but a
few Of the men, this headgear, with
long robes, giving the appearance of
Increased height TO the dancers.
Shortly after midnight the enter
tainmert eliminated in the much
talked Of "farandole," a rollicking old
Spanish dance to the tune of a thir-
teenth century air of Provence. A pro-
cession Of eight gorgeously attired
Eastern maids and men led the way
round the ballroom, headed by Senior
Espinosa, the we'll known Spanish
dancer. who encouraged his followers
by waving a ribbon hung baton
Arriving at the second group Of
dancers, they invited them 10 join the
chain, and so on until every one on the
dancing floor became so infected with
the spirit of jollity inspired by the gay
tune that willingly they joined in the
romp, for romp indeed 1t was. Around
the promenoirs, among the boxes, up
and down perilous staircases, the dan
GERS wound their way, the pace in
creasing as the tunes changed, now
more leisurely, TO the simple, measured
beats OF the familiar old nursery
rhyme Sur lie Pont d'Avignon, and
again furiously fast as the endless pro-
cession returned to the ballroom, to the
singing of "Everybody's Doing It."
The exhausted and breathless chain
was broken in many places, and the
farandole terminated in graceful tab
leaux. all the men dancers prostrating
themselves on the ground at the feet
Of their partners.

Europe-Successor Sixty
seven Years Old

Munich. Dec. 12-Luitpold, Prince Re-
gent OF Bavaria. died here to-day. He
was ninety-one years old. The Prince
Regent had been in falling health TOT
several months and his death was not
unexpected.
The Immediate cause of Prince Luiti
pold's death was bronchial catarrh' wnicn
was aggravated by the feebleness OF ola
age. He passed away before his eldest
son. Prince Ludwig, could reach MS size
from his estates I'm Hungary. whence he
had departed on Monday last for Munich
when he heard Of his fathers critical
condition.
The Prince Regent had been compelled
TO cancel all public engagements for
some time. but he insisted until the last
moment on receiving the Bavarian Cabl-
net ministers and his personal suite.
In accordance with the wish OF the dead
prince his heart il to be embalmed sepa-
rately. inclosed In a silver case and taken
to Alt0tting in Bavaria, where the famous
shrine OF the Holy Virgin is visited by
thousands OF pilgrims every year.

graphed to Munich to-day that he would
attend the funeral Of Prince Regent
Luitpold OF Bavaria.
General mourning has been declared
here for three weeks. while the Imperial
Parliament has been adjourned over
Christmas.
Prince Karl Josef Wilhelm Ludwig
Euitpold was called to the Regency OF
Bavaria I'm 1886. when he was slXty-hve
years old, on the death OF his nephew
Louis II. King OF Bavaria. King Louis
left no children and Prince Luitpold De-
came Regent owing TO the insanity OF
King Louis younger brother Otto who
however. succeeded to the royal title ana
who is still living. During the twenty
six years that Luitpold remained at the
head Of the second largest state in the
German Empire his mode Of life re-
mained quite simple. He declined TO sur
round himself with regal pomp. and re-
fused to accept the crown or Bavaria
or even the title OF King.
Prince Luitpold was born at Wdrzourg
on March u, 1921. and spent the greater
part OF his life in military service. In
1865 he fought against Prussia, but when
the Franco-Prussian war was declared
four wears later he was appointed TO the
STAFF 81 the Prussan army and
served throughout the war. In ldf he

tria and Grand Ducsl Princess OF 1us-
cany She died in 1854. Their eldest SON.
Prince Louis. who succeeds 20 the regen-
cy. was born In ls5.
He was well loved by the people OF
although his long military career
before he became Regent had left us
stamp Of grunness on his otherwise kind
Is nature. During his reign he increased
the prosperity and prestige OF Bavaria,
and much OF the income he might have
received as royal deputy he used in pay
ing the nations debts.
