BOSTON ASSOCIATION

About 450 men gathered at the Hotel Somerset on the evening of February 10, and enjoyed four hours of cheering, songs, and speeches. President Nichols led in the serious part of the exercises with an account of the present conditions and outlook of the College. James R. Chandler '98, the chorister, kept the "unvested choir," as President Reynolds styled it, busy with a succession of college songs. Isaac F. Paul '78 and Wilder D. Quint '87 were witty as usual, and noteworthy successes in the same strain were scored by the retiring president, James B. Reynolds '90, and Charles H. Donahue '99 in verse, the latter in honor of Prof. Charles F. Richardson '71, who was received with great enthusiasm and many marks of affection. Other speakers were Thomas N. Perkins, Harvard '91, who spoke for Harvard, Parker D. Handy of New York, Princeton '79, a member of the board of trustees of that institution, and Henry Crosby Emery, chairman of the Tariff Board, who represented Bowdoin.

Prior to the banquet the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: President, Dr. Benjamin Tenney '83; vice-presidents, Hon. James B. Richardson '57, Henry W. Stevens '75, Warren F. Gregory '88, and John C. Sanborn '91; secretary, Thomas W. Streeter '04;" treasurer, Dr. Henry M. Chase '97; executive committee, Frank H. Hardison '76, Gen. Charles K. Darling '85, Morton C. Tuttle '97, Channing H. Cox '01, Irving J. French '01, and Arthur E. Hanlon '03: chorister, James R. Chandler '98.
