SOME GOOD SPEECHES. paalerives SUS OSE Last eveuing the Washington Association | of Bowdoin Alumni held their annual din- ner at Welcker’s. As usual, it proved to be ene of the most interesting and entertain- ing affairs of the winter. The local asso- bers; neither is tht college that the asso- ciation represents. Bowdoin is an institu- tion way down at Brunswick, Me., that is satisfied to remain a college, and does not strive after the honors that come from calling itself a university. It is willing to let its fame rest on the intellectual status of its graduates, rather than on the cham- jionship won by its foot ball or base ball eam. it would be hard to get together a gather- ing of men anywhere but in Washington that would have in it so large a proportion of men who have taken first rank in so many | different lines of life as were presented at this dinner last evening. There were less than thirty sons of Bowdoin present, and of this number one was a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, two Senators, one Repre- sentative, a major general of the army in command of a department, two others who lines of life that have not given them so There. was pres- President's cabinet, who, though not a son of Bowdoin, takes rank as one of her grandsons, as his father | under the whi: spering pines. The dinner was presided over by Chief ington Alumni Association. Prior to the banquet a brief business session was held, and officers elected for the ensuing year as foliow: Chief Justice Fuller, president; Senator William P. Frye and Lieweliyn | Dean, vice presidents; Stephen D. Fessen- | den, treasurer; Prof. J. W. Chickering, cor- responding secretary; Mr. James C. Strout, recording secretary, and executive commit- tee, Gen. Ellis Spear, chairman; Mr. W. H. Owen, Mr. F. E. Dennett, J. N. Whitney and H. L. Prince. Shortly after 7 o'clock dinner was an- nounced and the guests left che parlor where they had gathered informally and entered one of the large dining rooms, where the table was arranged in the shape of the let- ter T. The table was tastefully decorated some menu. Chief Justice Fuller occupied the seat of honor at the center of the head table. At his right sat President William D. Hyde, the president of Bowdoin. At his left was Secretary Hoke Smith, whose fa- ther, Mr. H. H. Smith, had sent a letter of who were present were Dr. J. E. Rankin, president of Howard University, Senator Frye, Senator Washburn, ex-Speaker Thom- as B. Reed, Maj. Gen. O. O. Howard, S. 1. Kimball, Amos Allen, Llewellyn Deane, F. E. Dennett, F. O. Fish, S. S. Gardner, GC. Noyes, Col. William H. Owen, Benjamin W Pond, Howard L. Prince, Woodbury Pulsi- fer, Rev. Frank Sewall, Gen. Fred D. Sew- all, Gen. Ellis Spear, James C. Strout, L. D. M. Sweat, Chas. H. Verrill, Henry D. Whit- comb, J. N. Whitney and Dr. D. P. Wol- haupter. Not a Dull Moment. The dinner was quite a long and elaborate | one, but there was not a single dull moment. It was a bright, witty gathering of men who had in common a love for their alma mater, at the mention of whose name every voice softened and every thought went back to the four years so pleasantly spent under careful and able teachers and amid the scholastic life of a college town. The praises of old Bowdoin were given in speech and in song, and not a man who spoke but said that he was glad that Bowdoin could claim him for her own. Small wonder was it that each had only pleasant words to say of that institution, whose classes do not average more than fifty men and yet which turns out so many statesmen, scientists, jurists and scholars. Secretary Hoke Smith was not able to Stay until the close of the dinner, as he was expected at the diplomatic reception at the White House, but before he left he made a the course of which he said: “I appreciate most sincerely the privilege of being with you. I am sorry to say I have not the hon- or to have pen, to Bowdoin, but no cne ‘0 Bowdoin than I do. How tained and instructed by stories of the col- lege career of the New England boy who, as a young man, by his own individual ef- forts, aided by the liberality of the institu- tion, worked his way to a diploma from Bowdoin. I have heard him tell many a time of the mental and moral inspiration he gathered at Bowdoin. How he loved bis old college and how he taught me to love it. I most earnestly hope for the future pros- perity of the college. I sincerely hope that more of the graduates of the college shall be called upon to fill ilustriously positions the bench and possibly in the White House.” Mr. Dean as Toastmaster. Mr. Dean acted as the capable toast.nas- ter of the evening, as heretofore, and when the men present Jeaned back for the mental treat they knew was in store for them he began the formal program of the evening's speaking. Letters of regret wete read from Col. J. H. Gilman of the class of ‘54 and H. H. Smith of the class of *42. In closing his letter the father of the Secretary of the In- terior sai “May heaven's blessings at- tend always every member of your bowdoia Associauion, and may fadeless honors crowd our revered aima mater.” A oy written by Gen. Spear over a member of the association, wno had died during the} year, was also read. It was as follows: | “uring the past year a venerabie mem- ber of the association, Commoduve Huratio Bridges of the class of 1825, nas been re- | moved by death. He was for “everal years | president of this association. it 18 no Slight testimony of his high character and wort that he was the intimate friend of his class mate, Hawthorne, and collegema:2, Frank- lin Pierce. He was a man of no mean literary ability and culture, and w: of the famous class in which he grad His uprightness and sincerity, nis genial good nature and his Christian character are well known to us. A kind Providence extended his life beyond the usual span, but we none the less regret and mourn DSS, and we here record our tender and loving remembrance and testimonial of his wor and extend our warmest sympathy to hi afflicted family.” President Hyde's Remarks. “St. Martin’ the old song that has been sung at every commencement at Bowdoin, | was sung by these graduates last evening, led off by Rev. Frank Sewall, who always acts as choirmaster at the Bowdoin dinners. In a few pleasant words the toastmaster intreduced President Hyde, with the re- mark that none of the college professors at Bowdoin are over forty years of age. When | Mr. Hyde, he said, took charge of the col- jeg ne found affairs in a very bad condi- ; tion, but since he has been at the head the progress has been steady and is shown by the appearance of the campus and in every other way. He was the youngest man who had received the degree of Db. D. from Dr. Hyd ‘an his address to the alumni | by speaking of the embarrassment that he felt at attempting oratory in Washington, the center of eloquence. He supposed, how- ever, that this was a case where a second- rate D an would do, and he told a story on Eliot of Harvard that illustrated his nm. It is said of Dr. Eliot that at the illips Brooks was selected as Bishop of Massachusetts, he met Dean Lawrence nd said that It was too bad that a goud preacher had been taken from the pul- | pit to make a bishop, when a second-rate man would have done as well. Two years later, when he had evidently forgotten his irst remark, Dr. Eliot again met Dean who had just been chosen to the late Bishop Brooks. “I | ongratulate you,” said Dr, Eliot. very excellent choice. When Bishgp | ant | “Te | , Self in the study for its own sake. | Howard, Brooks was chosen for the place you were the very man I had in mind.” Progress of the College. With this pleasant beginning President Hyde went on to make an interesting ad- dress on the subject of the present condi- tion of the coliege. Said he: “In appeal- ing from the college in the shell to the college hatched we have every reason to be satisfied with the progress of incuba- tion. I see about me a man who was the most lawless student in his day now pos- ing as a general in the army, the man who Was most obstreperous as speaker and the wildest as a Senator, but it is of the progress of the college that I would speak now. Ten years ago the finances of the college were in a very unsatisfactory con- dition; now they are entirely satisfactory. The buildings were put down then as worth $144,000; now they are worth $450,000. We have finer dormitories and an observatory, a building for sciences, laboratories and an art building that will compare favora- bly with the best. Buildings and money, however, are not everything. The course of study is the most important and this has been materially improved. Instead of Scattered courses we now have continuous courses, so that a man may pursue the same study consistently for two years. We have grown from 108 to 219 students. We will not try to become a university, the community from which we draw our students is too small, but we are satis- fied to remain a college and are turning out some of the very best men who go to other universities to pursue advanced courses. We are not going in for co-educa- tion, not because we do not believe in the education of women, but because with three colleges for women it remains the province of Bowdoin to educate young men. Three things a college must be able to do. First, it must give a severe and rigid discipline and drop out men so that the quality and not the quantity of the classes shall be maintained. At Bowdoin we are willing to drop a tenth of the class for this purpose. Second, it must give him a reason for his work and make him interested in what he is doing. This is the object of the elective system, a system Which has been greatly misunderstood. Third, it must get a man to interest him- These three things are what Bowdoin is standing for so successfully. “Morally, the men of Bowdoin are of a su- perior class, and it would be hard to find a community more respectable and free from vices. Through the agency of the college jury, the men govern themselves better than the faculty could do. In eight years only four men have been severely disciplin- ed by the college. All other cases have been dealt with by the jury. Morally, socially and intellectually, the college is in a most satisfactory condition, and is doing a good and creditable work. We have every rea- son to be thankful and hopeful that we shall continue to send out men equipped for any sphere of life.” After the singing of “Whispering Pines,” Gen, Howard was called upon. He was in- troduced as a man of undoubted courage on field and flood, the latter part proved by his behavior on the steamer Spree last year. As Mr. Dean said, “If he did so well on a spree, what might he not do when sober.” Gen. Howard, speaking of his temperance principles, said that the name of the steam- er should be pronounced “Spray."’ Spree means an excess of whisky, but spray is a surplus of water, and this was the matter with his steamer. He then went on to give some pleasant reminiscenses of his college Gays under President Wood, at the mention of whose name every one applauded vigor- ously. He paid a pleasant tribute to Gen. Sewall as an officer in the war, and to Col. Owen, who was his quartermaster. He then fave little bits of history, interesting and timely, that connected him with his fellow alumni about the table. Speaker Reed Made a Substitute. A Bowdoin dinner without Senator Frye would be a curious dinner indeed, but last night when he was asked for a speech he gave one that was probably the shortest that he has ever delivered on such an oc- casion, Said he: “There are new faces about the table tonight and new voices back of them, and I think the boys here would like to listen to these voices rather than to me. I have never missed a ban- quet of this association and never fail to make @ speech, but tonight there is a gen- tleman present on the opposite side of the table whom we would all like to hear, I can’t say that I know him personally and I don’t know that I would admit it if I did, but judging by the cuts I have seen in the news] rs it must be Tom Reed of Mai and I hereby appoint him my substitute. “Yes, and the late war never would have been won unless the people had sent better substitutes than you have provided,” said the ex-czar of all America as he ambied to his feet. “I did not expect to speak this evening. This, you probably think, is a prelude to a prepared speech, but the fact is that I forgot all about this dinner and so forgot to prepare the speech that a man always has ready when unexpectedly called upon to speak. But first I would like to say a few words about this young president of our college. I remember that when he was selected for that position people said we were taking long chances to pick so young a man, but in view of what he has ac- complished since I must say that we took no chances at all. I am glad, however, that the new dispensation he has inaugu- rated did not go into effect in my time, for if they had made it the practice then to drop ten men from each class to improve the quality I can see in my mind's eye old Prof. Packard looking over his glasses at me. I am not making a speech, but in closing these remarks I want to say that after all these years in which I have had a chance to look about me, I have nothing but feelings of satisfaction that the four years of my college life were spent under the whispering pines of old Bowdoin.” Senator Washburn. Senator Washburn of Minnesota, but a native of Maine, arid a graduate of Bow- doin, was introduced as a member of the class of ‘S4, which did not believe in the Maine law. He spoke of life along the An- droscoggin and of his college days and said that as the years roll on he looks back with more pleasure at his college course than at any other period of his life. And now, at this time, he could say that it was with even more pride that he looked upon the men that Bowdoin is sending out. He spoke of the value of the training given in the smaller New England colleges in comparison with that at the larger uni- versities with all the nonsense they are sending out. He was willing to pin his faith to cld Bowdoin, and in closing he sai¢ that though he had a son at Yale, also had another whom he was going to send to | Bowdoin. Dr. Rankin made a pleasant little address in which he said that he had come very near being a student of Bowdoin himself. He spoke of the pleasure it gave him to be at this dinner, though he was not ac- customed to dine with publicans and sin- ners. He had had under him as pastor of a_ church in this city Gen. Sewall and Gen. Howard, but Senator Frye had wandered off into the Presbyterian fold, so that he could not hold himself responsible for all that the Senator from Maine had done. If he had had the czar under him he might have been overthrown himself. Senator Frye was called for again to an- swer and told a number of good stories and went on to speak of the brilliant prospects for the future of the old college. Ex-Congressman Swea Ex-Congressman Sweat was referred to as one of the old men and was asked to speak to the younger men. Earnestly and eloquently Mr. Sweat said that .while he was really unprepared he hoped that the time would never come when he would be so old and so disabled that he could not speak a word for Bowdoin. He said that he was really too old himself to take part in any such gathering as this. “But I remember,” said he, “last year in the old | museum of Gizeh I saw a mummy of Rameres II, and I looked with admiration and veneration at the features of this’ old gentleman, for it really seemed as though he recognized me and was trying to ask after some of nis contemporaries, Gen. the venerable chief justice and the czar of America. It is fifty-six years since I graduated from old Bowdain. This is a long time. But I must say that if old Bowdoin had no mere to show for her hundred years of werk than this little group of men around this table she yet might well feel repaid for the time, the morey and the effort she has expended. She has sent out the peers of eny men in rank of life. She has given us America’s ablest poet, Longfellow, and Hawtherne, the mysterious and astute, and to my mind the greatest prose writer. a President of the United States, Supreme , judges, Senators, Congressmen, men of ability and power all, in whatever sphere of life they are called upon to serve. Maine and Bowdoin may yet give us another can- didate for President.” This was the close of the formal speak- ing ard the evening closed with a few pleasant words in the form, as it were, of a benediction from the chief justice and the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” —_—__+-e.—____ A Chance You Don't Often Get.
