the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  to  assemble  at  the  College  hall  on  the  evening 
of  March  13th.  Tables  had  been  set  in  the  museum,  and  after  partaking  of  the 
refreshments  provided  for  the  occasion,  speeches  were  made,  toasts  offered  and 
responded  to,  and  the  conversation  occasionally  interspersed  with  songs,  until  the 
hour  of  adjournment  arrived. 
On  the  evening  of  March  14th  a  large  audience  was'attracted  to  the  Academy  of

on  behalf  of  the  class,  presented  a  series  of  resolutions,  handsomely  engrossed  and

Prof.  Bridges,  who  was  absent,  owing  to  indisposition.  The  class  surprised  Prof.

workmanship,  consisting  of  waiter,  pitcher,  goblets  and  bowl,  which  were  presented 
by  Curtis  W.  Turner.  The  exercises  were  interspersed  with  music,  and  closed  with 
the  distribution  of  flowers,  books  and  other  presents  sent  upon  the  stage  by  the 
friends  of  the  graduates. 
The  steps  taken  a  year  ago  for  the  celebration  of  the  "Silver"  Anniversary  of 
the  Zeta  Phi  Society  were  approved  by  the  members  of  the  different  classes  since 
1854.  The  committee,  on  learning  of  the  intended  resignation  of  Prof.  Bridges, 
quietly  went  to  work,  determined  to  erect  a  lasting  monument  to  him,  who  had 
faithfully  seived  the  College  in  the  chair  of  chemistry  for  37  years.  At  the  Anni- 
versary meeting  held  on  the  evening  of  March  1  ith,  in  one  of  the  lecture  rooms  of 
the  College,  the  committee  presented  the  result  of  their  labors,  the  sum  of  $i,ooo„.
