Alumni Dinner. 1 



In the spacious "College Hall " at the "Arena" were gathered together the offi- 

 cers of the Alumni and of the College together with members of each and their com- 

 mercial friends. The Hall was beautifully decorated with College insignia and the 

 boys were all in very good trim. 



The President had been in bed five days, but could not resist the " Dinner " ; buoyed 

 up by the prospective jolly evening he had regained his health sufficiently to be at 

 the head of the table ; and he filled the position as none other could — he introduced 

 the various speakers of the evening bj' means of little poetic effusions. Covers were 

 raised punctually at nine and for the next two hours the inner man was attended to. 



When cigars were handed around the speaking began. 



Mr. Thomas F. Main spoke as representative of the officers of the College, re- 

 hearsing many of the good qualities as well as a few of the urgent needs of the insti- 

 tution. He alluded to the debt and hoped to see it wiped out in the near future. 



Mr. Charles S. Erb was the next speaker. Introduced as the watch dog of the 

 treasury, he alluded in a few words to the present flourishing condition of his trust 

 and reported as having nearly one thousand dollars in the treasury. He hoped to 

 enlist the many participants in the grand work of helping to reduce the burden under 

 which the College was suffering and promised that the Alumni would do its share 

 thereto. » 



Dr. Takamini, who was next called upon, enlarged on the many benefits his country- 

 men had derived from America, not only in pharmacy, chemistry, botany and medi- 

 cine, but also commercially. 



Dr. Coblentz, who represented the Faculty, gave his usual good advice, but this 

 time he forgot the woodpile which he has been working on as a good topic. 



About this time, Beckary, '98, was introduced as the representative of the N. Y. C. 

 P., in the recent little misunderstanding — he told of the pleasures and hardships of 

 the Naval Apothecary and made the hit of the evening when he explained blockade 

 duty as follows: "The order is given, 'no sleeping to-night,' and that night and 

 during the following twelve or fifteen nights there is ' no sleeping,' constant watching 

 for the foe ; about the end of the second week there arises a general wish for the 

 ' League for shorter hours.' " His description of the Santiago and Port Rican battles 

 •was both original and interesting. At this point Mr. H. C. Lovis proposed three 

 cheers for the C. P. C. N. Y. , and you may be sure they were lustily given.
