 Carmichael Toastmaster
 Speaker Carmichael who served as ar bitter of the feast, was in excellent form, and with his humor surprised those who had become accustomed to his rather pro- safe manner of presiding over the lower house. In his introductory remarks he referred with tenderness to the figures which were prominent during his own col lege days, and at the mention of each name there was cheering. Indeed, when he spoke of the late Mrs. Amelia Gorgas, the angel of the campus, as she was called, every banqueter in silence arose to his feet and for a moment stood in honor of her.
 Before the toastmaster concluded his remarks Governor Henderson, who had been delayed by a slow train, entered, He was given boisterous reception, re- ception which would have affected one less subject to the romantic than he. When called upon immediately afterward the chief executive expressed his remarks and satisfaction. declared his warm appre- citation of the value of the university, an- nounced himself one of it's staunchest sup porters, and with good humor and merry jest made the best speech of his entire oratorical career.
