Irresistible Appeal

Although the absence of William j. Bry-
an was at first thought to be a serious set
back to the home coming celebration, il
appears now that effective advertising
ana the irresistible appeal to the old fell
lows has done it's work DESPITE the a b.
sence, therefore, of the peerless one there
seems to be no question out what this af-
tair will be one of the most nota BILE that
mas taken place at an Alabama college
Tor many years. The speech of Secretary
Bryan was ohave been delivered here
Tuesday morning.
President Thach and members of, the
faculty regret very much that Mr.. Brysn
cancelled his engagement. However, not
even the absence of Colonel Bryan can
danpen the ardor of the Auburn men on
this occasion. The whole town is given
over to welcome to the former students
that have strayed away from the green
sod of the campus. Even the grinning
hotel porters reflect the welcome that the
whole place feels for the former students.
Those who graduate Wednesday are no
happier than the former students and the
townspeople over the home coming cele-
bration.
The opening of the formalities Monday
Will be in charge of DR.. II. NJ. Hamil of
Nashville, who is dearly beloved by the
Auburn men. He will introduce the
speakers and will inject into the set af-
rs that brand of humor that he only
possesses. The college will welcome the
old students through the address of Dr.
Charles c. Thach, while the state, through
it's governor, will tell the old graduates
and students how glad she is that they
again come back to Auburn town.
