Bates ALUmNAE AND ALUMNI
HONOR PROFESSOR STANTON At
BANQUET AT PORTLAND FRIDAY

Portland, Me-, Feb. 5.-(SpeciaD =
Bates College alumni turned out in
force this evening to attend the 18th

which was held at the Congress
Square hotel at P. M. This is the
18th time prominent Bates alumni
and alumnae have gathered from all
parts Of the State to do honor to the
most beloved of all Bates professors.
Prof. Stanton or Johnny" as he is
best known to the older alumni, has
probably done more to shape the pol
icy and elevate the high moral stand
ard and promote spirit Of loyalty
among Bates students than any other
one man. And certainly no man has
ever held the universal love and ven
Grafton Of a graduate student body as
has this quiet, modest, self-sacrihcing
white-haired old man who held for
SO many years the chair Of Greek and
Latin and who has done SO much to
inspire in Bates students q real love
Of nature and a thorough knowledge
Of birds and higher ideal OF what
true chivalry and honor is.
The banquet this evening was char
acterized by the number Of prominent
alumni present and by the general
spirit Of loyalty and enthusiasm that
prevailed. At about 5.45 P. M. a spe-

horticultural and agricultural side lines,
besides it's dubious value as garment,
for there are fern-leaf stripes on 1t
and rows of small Napoleon bees in
gold lace.

troops, wrote to the agent in England
this laconic dispatch: Browne. beef

reply; boyd, beef, Browne" And
this. in turn, recalls the story Of Peter
