 Throughout the banquet hour the Glee club quartette kept the enthu- siasm at the top notch with their songs, reminding of old college years. the banqueters joining in with laundering chorus.

 Billy" Colt Toastmaster.
 When the cigars were passed, Hon. William Brainard Colt, S4 S., of New London, assumed the toastmasters s place, filling this position with char actertstic ability as he introduced one speaker after another with apt allu- sions that were greeted with shouts of You're all right, Billy"
 In his introductory remarks he re- ferred to the rivalry between Norwich and New London, which he said had now reached stage where each city was always glad to help the other to get anything that she didn't want her self. New London had got the ocean piers and Norwich had got the indus try to regulate the temperature so that now Norwich can be cool in sum- mer and hot in winter. New London, too, had got the suffra agette club com posed of dozen women and one lone man, and she had no idea of letting that get away from her. Honors. too, had been distributed, for New London had got the states attorney, while Norwich had got the state police, and the result had not been inconsiderable.
 Dean Jones Speaks.
 Judge Colt introduced for the first speaker Dean Frederick s. Jones, S4 of Yale university, to speak upon The University. The popular dean of the college was greeted with the long cheer, led by the Glee club quartette and in his opening words spoke pleas antly of associations with Judge Colt who was in the same class with him in college The dean took up later ir his address defense of the modern college and It's student body, saying that he thought there was good deal of foolish criticism in this day about modern scholars. It was time for the croakers to give up thinking how bad they are. 1t may be true at some in stitutions, but at Yale we can show them an exception. This talk of loose ness of morals and indiscretions of thu students was far from the truth. H' felt encouraged about the Yale stu dent, and as long as he Is what he i' we need to be encouraged. He is no afraid to think, and he gives you { square deal on the top of it. So lonl as we have him as he is, We need have no fear about the future of the institu' ton, and it has been we'll said by somt speaker that he knew of no institution that gave men the same character, thu same virility that Yale gave. H' spoke in fervent appreciation of thu 2 blessing asked by Rev. M. Bryan be 1 fore the banquet began.

 f The Undergraduate. | Professor Pierce considered his sub 3 ject in the line of physician s diag 3 nosis, saying that one very encourag t ing point about his patient, the under l graduate, was that while certain evil ] do creep in, there is enough Of vita virile manly life to generate the anti l toxin that kills off these moral Ill
