After these exercises were over, those who had received honorary degrees were invited to lunch with the President.

After the lunch we were formed in line again, and were escorted by the Marshal of the day, who that year happened to be Bishop William Lawrence, through the grounds, where, at different points, those who had been honoured were called by name and received the Harvard yell.

This march ended at Memorial Hall, where the alumni dinner was served.

To see over a thousand strong men, representing all that is best in State, Church, business, and education, with the glow and enthusiasm of college loyalty and college pride,--which has, I think, a peculiar Harvard flavour,--is a sight that does not easily fade from memory.
Among the speakers after dinner were President Eliot, Governor Roger Wolcott, General Miles, Dr.Minot J.Savage, the Hon.

Henry Cabot Lodge, and myself.
