The Chicago Annual Dinner.
On Friday evening last, February 18,
the Chicago Alumni Association held
its 32d annual dinner at the University
Club, Chicago. The dinner like most
of its predecessors was entirely success-
ful. About one hundred and twenty-
five were present.
The toast list follows:
President’s Address,
David B. Lyman, ’64.
The Yale Spirit of the 70’s,
Frank H. Jones, ’75.
What Harvard Thinks of Yale,
Frank Hamlin, Harvard, ’84.
A Few Memories,
Amos Parker Wilder, ’84.
Princeton Inn,
James -S. Harlan, Princeton, ’83.
How the Chicago and Yale Spirit are
Allied, Carter H. Harrison, ’83 L.S.
In: his’: speech: DD: B. Lyman, -the
President of the Association, referred
to the W. C. T. U. proposed boycott
of Yale. His remarks were received
ne approval by those present. He
said:
“With the sparkling wit, the froth
and foam which is to follow my serious
remarks, we shall all drink the elixir of
life and be young again. Perhaps in
using this expression I shall be sadly
misquoted. Only last week I was as-
sailed by a reporter with a map. He
pointed out Cambridge, with Harvard
College marked ‘dry’; also Princeton
College marked ‘dry’; New Haven and
Yale marked ‘wet., I examined the
map more closely and found in brackets:
‘Harvard always damp and foggy,;
Boston and the Atlantic Ocean very
wet’; ‘Princeton damp and supplied with
‘Jersey lightning;’’ ‘New Haven no
wetter than any of the others; ‘New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago always
flooded.’
“The reporter then read to me a let-
ter addressed to our Faculty; announc-
ing that the boycott was on and _ that
our Association was included. I as-
sured him that we could be as hilarious
on our regular drink, ‘aqua Michiganii,’
or ‘aqua Hygeia,’ as the ordinary Har-
vard or Princeton graduate is on
‘Scotch dew.’
“But you must decide what you will
do about it,’ he insisted. I replied:
‘Our Faculty has considered and dealt
with this subject for nearly 200 years
with great success. The graduates, as
a class, are temperate, able, intelligent,
pure and clean, and are quite willing
to leave the subject in the future, as in
the past, to the Faculty, and will sup-
port them in any course they see fit to
adopt.
“We have no fear that an unjust boy-
cott will injure our Alma Mater. We
honor and respect the purpose of the
ladies who are the authors of the ad-
dress to our College. We _ heartily
sympathize with every movement which
is intended to save our young men
from the temptations which surround
them, even though we are unable to in-
- dorse the methods proposed to attain
the desired results. Unwise and ex-
treme measures often defeat the success
of good purpose.” :
A. P. Wilder, ’84, also defended Yale
vigorously against recent attacks on
the morals of Yale students.
A special feature of the meeting was
the unveiling of a picture of ex-Presi-
dent Porter, the gift of the University —
Club.

The Family’s Point of View.
F you are thirty-five years old and are in good health, and are earning $100
a month, your life, on which this earning depends, is worth $22,700 in
cash to-day to your family. If you die they lose the $100 a month, the
equivalent of which is the $22,700. The cash value of your life to them
is therefore $22,700. They lose that if you die.
oe have made your family dependent on you: dependent on that $100 a
month. You have put them at the risk of losing it by losing you.
If you had a piece of property which was bringing you in $100 a month
and it stood a chance of being destroyed and so cutting off your income,
you would not rest until you had taken enough of that $100 a month and
‘nsured yourself against the loss of it. You would consider that you had not
done your duty by yourself until you had so protected yourself effectually.
Your life is just such a piece of property to your family: you have made
itso. They need just that same effectual protection against its loss which
may come any day. And they cannot protect themselves. They rely on
you for that as much as they do for the $100 a month itself.
They need
protection against that loss even more than you need protection against the
loss of your property. But they cannot have it unless you give it to them.
You have exposed them to the loss: you have made them dependent on
you: you alone can protect them in their dependence.
THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Makes its plans from the family’s point of view: to give them the most
absolute protection, at the least cost to you and with perfect equity to both.
It will be glad to serve you and your family in this great matter.
