" Two other facts are worthy of special mention. A report on the college Commons which was reao. by Mr. Maury of Philadelphia so concurred with that given earlier in the evening by Dr. Peirce and pleased the members of the Asso- ciation who had contributed to the project that they promised to make up the small deficit in their assessment, which still remains un- paid. Another result of the dinner was the announcement that a " project was being promoted to raise for a certain length of time ( distinctively' an annual income of $6,000.00 to the college. Mr. John Brooks ii' Leavitt made the announcement and promptly stated that he would be one of twenty-fiv- e men to con- tribute $250 per year to the scheme. The next evening the dinner ot the Kenyon Alumni Association of Philadelphia was held at the University Club, Philadelphia. There were fewer present than ever before in the history of the A Choice Bit in the Tattler Association; those present were, jM m Everyone the college Fatima howover, very enthusiastic.
