THE ALUMNI JOURNAL, 



95 



It gives me great pleasure in behalf of the 

 Alumni Association, to present to you these 

 medals for general excellence. It is the highest 

 honor our association bestows. 



As you leave here to-night, graduates of this 

 college, you are appointed to a position of 

 trust, in the discharge of the duties of which 

 you hold the highest confidence and regard of 

 the public. 



In order to successfully hold this position you 

 must cultivate habits of accuracy, honesty, 

 industry and sobriety. 



But while looking after and serving the public 

 interest, never forget your duty to your alma 

 mater, and as you have profited by the labors of 

 past generations, so must you labor to benefit 

 posterity. 



Remember the saying of one of our ablest 

 statesmen, that "public office is a public trust. " 

 You do not hold in trust the public funds, nay, 

 more than that, you hold in trust their lives. 



The committee on arrangements consisted of 

 H. W. Atwood, W. M. Massey and T. J. Mac- 

 mahan, who have discharged this work so well 

 for some years. But in the performance of their 

 work this evening they eclipsed all their former 

 splendor, making it the most entertaining and 

 satisfactory commencement that has been held 

 yet. A notable feature of the evening was the 

 presence with the faculty of Prof. Joseph P. 

 Remington, an honorary member of this col- 

 lege. 



Minutes of the annual meeting of the Alumni 

 Association held on April 24. Meeting called 

 to order b}' the President at 2.30 P. M. Roll 

 called as usual. On motion of Mr. Hohenthal 

 the reading of the minutes of the executive 

 board tor the year were dispensed with. Then 

 followed the reading of the minutes of the last 

 meeting and the annual address of the Presi- 

 dent. [This address will be published in the 

 next issue of The Alumni Journal. Ed.] A 

 committee was moved by Mr. Hohenthal to be 

 appointed to take action upon the address of 

 the President. The appointments reserved. 

 The Treasurer's report was read and referred to 

 the Auditing Committee, Messrs. Hohenthal 

 and Larimore. To a similar committee consist- 

 ing of Messrs. Hohenthal and Ebbitt was also 

 referred the report of the Treasurer of The 

 Alumni Journal. Then followed the report 



of the Chairman of the Committee on the ex- 

 amination papers of the Juniors and a reading 

 of the roll call of the honorable Junior students. 

 To the following Junior's were awarded the 

 Alumni prizes : First, A. Koerber, 154; Second, 

 Gustaf Strach, 138; Third, Harry M. Kilbourn, 

 136. Then followed the nomination and election 

 of officers for the ensuing year. This list will 

 be found in the inside page of the first cover. 



The following amendments to the Constitu- 

 tion recommended by H. Graeser were adopted : 

 To Article II. Section 2, after the word resident 

 read non-resident and honorary members, the 

 latter consisting of the faculty of the college, 

 who shall be exempt from all financial obliga- 

 tions to the association. To Section III. 

 Meetings shall be held annually, a quorum to 

 consist of ten members. Then followed the 

 election of new members. [The complete list 

 will be published in the next issue of the

NOTICE. 



The annual outing of the Alumni Association 

 of our college will take place on Wednesday, 

 the 20th of June at Peteler's Hotel, New Dorp, 

 Staten Island. The same features as last year 

 will prevail in general, and the committee will 

 spare no efforts to make this year's entertain-
