ALUMNI BANQUET. HIE annual meeting and banquet of the Alumni of the College in Bos- ton and vicinity will occur on Friday evening, December 20,1895, at Young's Hotel, Boston. A business meeting will be held at 5.30 P.M., and the ban- quet will occur at 6.'50 P.M. Tickets will be, as usual, two dollars a plate. The musical- contingent of the Asso- ciation are requested to bring with them college song books, and be prepared to use them. It was voted last year to make this meeting a "Ladies' Night," also to invite Professor Stanton to be present. It is hoped that the lady graduates will grace the occasion in large numbers, as well as the wives or " best girls " of the Alumni. We also propose to give PROF. WIXTIIIJOP J.
