ADJOURNMENT. 
The  ceremonies  closed  at  11.20  p.m.  with  a  round  of  cheers  for 
President  French,  in  which  the  entire  company,  under  the  lead 
of  the  Toastmaster,  joined  with  great  enthusiasm. 
NAMES  OF  SUBSCRIBERS  TO  PRESIDENT  FRENCH 
PORTRAIT  FUND. 
The  collection  of  the  subscriptions  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  a 
special  sub-committee,  of  which  Mr.  C.  Mahlon  Kline  was  the 
chairman.  The  replies  received,  with  the  subscriptions,  showed 
not  only  the  high  esteem  which  the  alumni  have  for  President  French 
and  their  appreciation  of  his  devotion  to  the  college,  but  uniformly 
expressed  the  affection  of  the  alumni  for  the  college  and  their  desire 
to  assist  in  every  way  in  advancing  her  interests  and  in  aiding  her 
in  retaining  the  leadership  she  now  holds. 
One  of  the  most  pleasing  letters  received  as  showing  the  loyalty 
of  the  alumni  was  that  from  the  widow  of  a  deceased  alumnus^  who 
in  sending  her  contribution  in  memory  of  her  husband  added,  "  it 
would  please  him  to  know  that  I  could  help  his  Alma  Mater  in  so 
small  a  way."  As  the  chairman  of  the  Finance  Committee  has  said, 
"  the  generous  responses  of  so  many  of  the  alumni  show  that  they 
have  the  welfare  of  the  college  at  heart,  and  these  sentiments  are 
really  more  important  to  the  institution  than  the  donations  them- 
selves." It  was  soon  apparent  after  the  Committee  got  to  work 
that  this  movement  to  honor  President  French  had  become  a  move- 
ment for  welding  the  alumni  together  into  a  coherent  and  efficient 
organization  and  was  indeed  stimulating  not  only  to  the  members 
of  the  Committee  but  to  all  those  engaged  in  the  college  work. 
The  following  is  a  list  of  names  of  the  members  of  the  College 
and  alumni  who  subscribed  to  the  President  French  Portrait  Fund,
