KANSAS CITY BANQUET.
(Continued from 162d page.)
has paid repeated visits to the West to
endeavor to gain in the favor of the
West the prestige of Yale as it stands
to-day.” 3
Mr. Rossington also spoke of the ad-
visability of sending the poor student
to Yale and giving him an education, but
doing this by such means that he will
pay back to those who furnished the
money for his education every farthing
expended, with interest, and thus from
the very start giving the young man the
feeling of responsibility and the desire
to put forth his best efforts in an en-
deavor to pay back to the world, by
means of the world, what the world
had given him in the beginning.
A REVERER OF- JAMES HADLEY.
Dr. F. R. Lincoln, ’51, of Logan, Kan-.
sas, was then introduced. At the High
School in the morning, when President
Hadley addressed the pupils, Mr. Lin-
coln was present. When himself called
upon for a few words, he was just able
to say—‘‘President Hadley’s father
taught me Greek at Yale,” and then
broke down. ;
Mr. Lincoln spoke as follows, when
called upon at the banquet:
“Mr. Toastmaster and gentlemen of
Yale, I am very proud to be here to-
night, very proud. It is one of the
events of my life to see so much intelli-
gence as is represented here to-night.
Gentlemen, it takes men of brains to go
through Yale College, and they always
show it in after life. When I saw that
the clans of Yale were to gather around
the standard, I came 320 miles to get
here as willingly as though it were one
(cheers), and I can’t regret it, for it
is the event of my life. In early life I
was deprived of my parent. When I
went to Yale, Professor Hadley, the
father of our President, became as a
father to me, and my emotions gave way
to-day when I saw that young man and
saw the resemblance to his father—a man
whom I revered, whom I loved and
whom I honored. The recollections of
former days came upon me when [I lis-
tened to him, and my feelings got the
better of me, but I am glad to meet
him here to-night. The progressive
sentiments he has uttered. I know will
find an echo in every heart present, and
I believe that Yale, under his adminis-
tration, will, like a conquering hero, her
garments white, her soul triumphant,
go on and on and on.
thank you.”
Secretary Grant I. Rosenzweig then
read a number of letters, regretting the
inability of the writers to be present.
Many of these were from other States,
Kansas, Nebraska and Arkansas.
Mr. Lathrop then said: “Now, as a
benediction, for young and for old, after
asking God’s blessing upon our country,
our University and its President, let us
all, standing, join hands around these
tables, in.a chain whose links will bind
us ever to Yale, and sing that glorious
anthem, good the world over, ‘Auld
Lang Syne.’”
FOR NEXT YEAR’S BANQUET.
At the conclusion of the song, the fol-
lowing motion was put: “That, beginning
the new century, and in honor of the
new President, it is resolved to hold an
annual banquet in Kansas City, some-
time during the Christmas holidays.”
This was with the view of having the
presence of the students at Yale who
are from Kansas.
Mr. Richard Gentry of Kansas City
then said: “Mr. Chairman, in seconding
that motion I want to say, in behalf of
one who was born in the West, that I
am pleased to-night to endorse the
broad and liberal sentiments expressed
by the President of Yale to-night in
his progressive and liberal views of
education. The evolution of the new
Yale from the old is about to take place,
and I look forward to a university that
will pervade the whole country as has
never before occurred in this country.
I took my son last Fall to Yale and I
found there eighteen young men from
Kansas City (cheers), and I heartily
endorse the motion that was made here,
for I find that my boy has possession of
the true Yale spirit.”
Mr. Lathrop said the question would
be put in the form of three ‘times three
and a tiger. These were given heartily
and the toastmaster announced the
motion was unanimously carried.
Gentlemen, I |
YALH ALUMNI
Mr. Rosenzweig then offered the fol-
lowing motion: “That it is the senti-
ment of the Yale Alumni of the South-
west that this Association would be glad
to be visited ag often as possible by
representatives of Yale University,
whether it be by a member of the Cor-
poration, and chiefly its President, or
by representatives in the shape of its
Glee Club.” |
This motion was carried heartily in
the same way as the other and the —
meeting concluded with a rousing Yale
cheer.

THE ST. LOUIS MEETING.
An Attendance of Eighty—Points
from the President’s Address,
President and Mrs. Hadley reached
St. Louis on Saturday, January 13.
President Hadley was the guest of honor
at the annual dinner of the Yale Alumni
Association of St. Louis, held on that
evening at the Noonday Club. Nearly
80 Yale men were present and President
Hadley was given a most enthusiastic
greeting.
Mr. F. N. Judson, ’66, the President
of the Association, who acted as toast-
master, made the opening address of
welcome. He alluded to the exceptional
character of the meeting, in that they
were honored with the presence of the
man to whom the destines of their
alma mater were now entrusted. The
changed conditions of the times, the
new problems demanding solution § in
the coming century, clearly pointed out
the man. He said that President Had-
ley was the first President in the two’
centuries of Yale’s existence who was
not entitled to prefix Reverend to his
name; but that the University being,
_ perhaps, less theological, would be none
the less Christian and would continue
to maintain the loftiest ideals of char-
acter. He alluded to the fact that Presi-
dent Hadley inherited in name and blood
the best traditions of Yale, and paid a
warm tribute to Professor James Had-
ley, whose memory, he said, would ever
be dear to the Yale men of his genera-
tion. He then introduced President
Hadley, who was welcomed with old-
fashioned enthusiasm.
The following are paragraphs from
the stenographer’s report, touching
points not treated in former speeches
or the same points in a new way:
THE FENCE.
“We are likely to have to do at Yale
what they have done at Oxford and
Cambridge, in -England, and for the
same reason, that is, to arrange the
buildings so that the out-door life of
the students shall be on the inside rather
than on the streets. I was one of those
who was for a time most reluctant to
see that fence go. I have to this day a
sort of irrational prejudice against Os-
born Hall.
