Alumni OF Washington College Dine

Inc AluIllnl ASSOclaIlOn OF WASH
ington College, Chestertown, held
banquet on Friday evening of last
week at the Caswell Hotel, Baltimore,
at which there were about seventy
five present, representing the Board
of Visitors and Governors of the Col
lege, the Faculty, and the Alumni
from all parts of the State and from
several of the adjoining States.
The topics under consideration by
the banqueters were the recent loss
by fire of the new college administra-
ton building and the future policy of
the institution. 1t was the unanimous
and enthusiastic conclusion of those
present that the building and equip
ment should be replaced Immediately
and that the college should continue
in as thorough and liberal a course of
instruction as has been pursued in the
past and if practicable to improve
thereon.
While the loss in building and equip
ment was very great yet the authori-
ties do not anticipate any unsurmount-
able difficulties in replacing these,
however, irreparable loss was sus-
tanned in the destruction of the lib
rary in which We're many rare and
valuable volumes, and Of the records
of the institution. Already several
subscriptions of both money ard books
have been received unsolicited. The
College had built up and maintained
an exceptionally complete and valu-
able card index of its alumni and for.
mer students which represented the
patient and untir.ng efforts of num-
ber of years. 1t is to the alumni and
former students of the College that
the authorities will have to look for
the data to replace this catalogue and
it is requested that all such who read
this article will send their names, ad-
dresses and dates of their attendance
or graduation to Albert D. Mackey,
Flkton Md. who has been asked by
the President of the Alumni Associa-
ton to collect this information from
his locality.
