ST. LOUIS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The annual meeting and banquet of the St. Louis Association was held January 19, at the Washington Hotel, the guest of honor being President Nichols. Covers were laid for about thirty-five, there being a goodly number of the fair sex present.

Owing to a severe attack of the grippe, Dr. Nichols was able to be present at the banquet for only a few moments, to the great disappointment of all. In the few moments which the President was allowed to be with us, however, he made many new friends, and a strong sentiment that the College " back East" was still in good hands.

After President Nichols had retired, Doctor Ewing '78, who presided as toastmaster, brought the gathering together again, and short alks on topics of interest were given by Gibson '97, White '07, J. W.Wallace '07, Kelley '06, and Professor Nifer of Washington University. The association glee club rendered several selections, the late football songs being received with particular favor.

At the regular annual meeting, which was held in Connection with the dinner, officers for the ensuing year were elected, as follows: President, C. B. Curtis '89; vice presidents, John K. Lord '95 and Hamilton Gibson '97 ; secretary and treasurer, F. E. Foster '07; executive committee, J. W. Wallace '07, A. G. White 'O7, Curtis, Lord, and Foster.

Other members present included: A. E. Ewing '78, J. J. Wertheimer '75, L. L. Wilcox '65, F. T. Hodgdon '96, A. L. Day '70, A. O. Kelley '06, W. M. Penniman '93, L. L. White '09, A. P. Grant, and G. T. Moore.
