The crowds along the way grew larger and the demonstrations miore frequent and louder as the President approached the town.

This led to the stand erected for the occa sion in the open space directly in front of famous old Sir Christopher Wren Hall, said to be the oldest col lege dormitory in America, from which the addresses were made today. As the President mounted the plat- form the band struck up “Hail to the Chief,” after which he was given the Willlam and Mary College vell, which was followed by iloud cheering on the part of all who had assembled. The ceremonies were opened by Gov.
