bia held annual banquets, 20
each of which there were in.
vited speakers from the other
three associations. At one
OF the Columbia dinners an
alumnus, who was a fairly
well known man Of letters and
had just been called 20 f'l "a
chair at his Alma Mater, was
asked 70 speak. He had
graduated a score of years
earlier; that is 20 say, he had
left Columbia when it was q
small college, and he had re-
turned TO it when it was al
ready beginning 20 be a large
university. So he chose as
his topic Twenty Years

nent 20 the occasion: and usual when we take over
anv device from the people of another country we nave
often carried it to excessive lengths. Certainly TINS Is
what we have allowed ourselves to do in this matter Oh
the banquet public, scmipublic, or private we nave
too many of them, and rarely have one at winch
there is not too much speaking. All sorts ana con
ditons of men come together to listen TO all sorts oil
speeches. and it is very seldom that there are not too
many speakers and that everyone Of the speakers IS not
too long windcd. q.
We have heard great deal Of late about the etil-
cheney engineer and it is rather strange that some en-
terprisng member of that new and allurng profession
has not turned his attention 10 the scientific manage
men of the public banquet, in order to improve the
vastcil methods Of the unframed amateurs who are
generally allowed to take charge of these affairs In no
other department Of human endcavor would 1t be easier
10 discover the useless movements which demand 10
be eliminated The principles that the elccncy
engineer would be called upon to apply can be declared
with scientific precision When men are met together
at dinner. they want the speaking that follows the
banquet 10 be like the bill Of fare they want 1t 70 De
varied and nourishng; that is to say, they want to
b, entertained although they are willing also to be m
struccd.
And most emphaticaly they do not want to be bored
and wcarcd Therefore the principle TO be apphed Is
clear: First the speakers ought TO be very few sec
ondv. they ought To- have something TO say ana thcy
ought 10 know how 10 say it; thirdly they ought to
be brief That man is fortunate indeed who does not
sit in disgust and despair at half the dinners he may al
tend because there twice too many speakers, be-
cause most of them had nothing to say and did not
know how 10 say it, and because they were all OF them
three times long in their strenuous effort 70 say H.
There IS one reward at least for the long suffering
inflicted on the attendants at the ordinary public din
ner. and this is the discovery that when speaker
really has something to say he is likely TO stop short
when ne has said it, whereas if he has nothing 20 say
there is really no why he should ever stop at ALL
When man is satisfied 70 stand up before ms IeIio"
men and 10 90 on saving nothing for thirty minutes he
IS perfectly willing to 60 on and say It over again for
another thirty minues and the last state Of that man
is worse than the first.
