Dr. Dixon moved that the date of meeting be changed. Dr. McLean said he 
thought it was very necessary from the small number present, and named the 
third Wednesday in September. Dr. Coates thought the fixing of the date had 
better be left in the hands of the Executive Committee. Dr. Dixon suggested 
that the opening day of the college would be a good day, which seemed to meet the 
views of nearly all present. The matter was finally left in the hands of the 
Executive Committee.

PEGASUS REDIVIVUS 
A trip to Mount Helicon, a draught from Hippocrene, and a canter on the 
back of Pegasus—a steed who has thrown more ambitious jockeys .than Barnum’s 
trickiest of trick mules—is still among modern possibilities.

ANSWER TO THE TOAST “THE CLASS OF ’86,” AT THE DINNER 
OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE A. V. C. 
To Our Beloved Professors : 
Then, here’s to the Dean, the father of ns all, 
Professor A. F. Liautard; may his glory ne’er grow small. 
We shall ne’er forget his kindness, or the lessons he has given, 
And I trust retain the many points that into onr heads he’s driven. 
We shall ne’er forget his ringing voice, and fluency so free; 
But to find his centres of ossification ! this life is too 
Short for me ! !
