ALUMNI DINNER

The Ballantine Gymnasium, 6:30 P. M.

On Saturday evening at half past six the general Alumni Dinner was held in the Robert F. Ballantine Gymnasium. The tables filling the main room were insufficient to accommodate the great company assembled, and hundreds of the younger graduates were served informally in the large adjoining room recently erected. Probably one thousand men were present at the dinner. Music was rendered by the band while the courses were being served. At this time also opportunity was given to the Honorable W. E. Florance, a graduate of the class of 1885, a Trustee of the College, and Senator from Middlesex County, to present to the College greetings from the officials of New Brunswick, the City Commission.

Mr. Haley Fiske, of the class of 1871, President of the Alumni Association of the City of New York, presided.

After the four announced addresses Bevier Hasbrouck Sleght, M.D., of the class of 1880, was given opportunity, and on behalf of the class presented to the College a tablet in honor of the Rutgers College men who served the Union in the Civil War. The tablet had been erected on the inner wall of the Chapel.

Opportunity was also given the Dean of the College, Louis Bevier, Ph.D., of the class of 1878, who, on behalf of the alumni, presented a portrait of President Demarest.

The program was as follows:

TOASTMASTER FISKE: Grace will be said by the Reverend William Elliot Griffis of the class of '69.

REV. WILLIAM ELLIOT GRIFFIS: Almighty God, our Heavenly Father: We are gathered in Thy name and in the name of our beloved Institution that calls upon Divine Justice to illuminate us and those who come after us. We pray Thee tonight to open Thy hand and feed us. Give us grace to serve Thee. Strengthen us in body and mind ever to love Thee and to be loyal to our fellow men and ever devoted to Thee. Make our hour one of enjoyment and one to be enshrined in memory all the days of our life; and grant that after this reunion upon earth, we may meet Thee in the house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!

INTRODUCTORY SPEECH

HALEY FISKE, ESQ.

Class of 1871

FELLOW ALUMNI: We have come to the close of this great celebration and I think the first thing that we want to do is to congratulate the College, its administration, and ourselves upon its wonderful success.

We must give the credit first and foremost to the President of the College. I understand that the arrangements were made by a committee, of which he was the head. Dr. Bevier was his adjutant; and Professors Ward, Wright, and Billetdoux and Mr. Osborn, the Librarian, were the rest of the committee. To all of them I think the alumni owe their sincere and hearty thanks. The literary part of the celebration was, I understand, under the direct supervision and direction of the President himself. The oration which he delivered was a classic. The alumni are proud of it.

There has not been any failure, except this afternoon
