under five heads, as follows: (a) The Place, (b)
A Thought (c) An Institution, (d) A Move
ment, (e) Force, was prepared and read at
this meeting. A paper was read entitled, The
ASounu "oAiu WHICH DlSnOp NlncentS lnf1u
ence has reached, which gave an account of the
great influence for good this man has exerted
in giving to SO many people held back by cir
cumstances larger life and higher ambitions,
inspiring them to improvement of mind. This
was followed by the reading of a poem to
Chancellor Vincent on his return to Chautau-.

birthday cards to our Chancellor, who cele-
brates his eightieth birthday with his health
