bttn ill·advised because the lady undoubt-edly slept late 'on
account of h~r calling, but you must remember that we were )'oung
and enthusiastic.
It took some time to alYak~n th~ ~Iadame and her entounge, but
we had ~m~ fine singen ",ilh lusty, glorious \'OICes, and after
thr«-quarten of an hour ~ladallle: Bernhardt sent me th~ following
note:
"Dar Students: Will ),011 return here in one hOUf I wish.
Dressing oow. Com-pliments. Sarah Uernhardl. 1896,"
Suffice it to sa)' that we were all very much pl~ased and
returned to the campus IG gloat O\'er the SCtliors, juniGI"S and
soph-OIllOro. I might add thai time was called on recitations that
day, \Vhen the hour wu up, the entire student hody returned to the
CJ.r to be welcomed by Madame Ikrnhardt, who shook: hands with
e\'ery-body and talked at length with illY. good friend, Wilfred
Craig. now of Pluladd-phi&, who even in Ih~ dars was an
arrem-plished linguist.
After the rtception Madame Bernhardt requcsted Craig and mrself
to wait while she wrole out an order on the Lyceum Theatre for
twent}··five r.lts in the dress circle. Thes.e, of COUrK, she had
to pay for. and it is but another evidence of her kftIuinenm of
:tppreciation and ber libel" ality.
Returning to the campus, Cr.aig :and I, boy-like, could not keep
the secret of the ordt'l" to ourxl\'(:s, and it was not long ~fort
the It'Ilion demandtd the order for thenuelves, whueupon I great
discus.sion 11'01(' and, .. wu the custom in those d:t~'S.
furniturt wu broken and "rough stuff" pulled. The juniors Ind
IOPhomorts didn't miss a bet either; they came forward with the
lUggt5tion thlt the twenty-five §cats be apportioned, JO that each
class should be rtpres.ented. \Ve cou ld not return to Madame
Bernhardt with good grKe and ... clau Rood out for the whole block
of KaIS, but we: Weft' over-ruled.
It wu fin.a.J.ly detennined to put in a hat the: names of III
the studmts and alklw the: kif-appointed rommiut'(' of Bill BaTTY,
Craie and m,..df to draw twenty-t\\·o names., beaUlc: of COUrJe we
wert KOing to han: ICI.ts ourxh'ea an)'wly, and the twen· ty-two
Iud:y chaps I't"OUld rntt the: theatre that nictn with us. I well
remember thai thil did not meet with the approval of the committee.
but I't't: thou&ht it possmly the
best way out of the dilemma. However that may be, the day wore
on wdl towards e\'ening before everything was killed, and then it
occurred to the committee that we ought to send l\laJame Uernhardt
a bou-quet; so \\'e stipulated that each of the lucky twenty-two
should par a doll:1r tow-ards the bouquet and should alo;o a~-ree
to come in a "dress 5uit," E\enin/o!: dOlhes wcre not SO common in
those da\ ". and that "shook out" a few tichu that Ill'
rt'Clailllcd for further distribution.
I renu~mber that after the committee received the twentr-twO
d!)l1ar~ we had a long discussion as to the 1101':11 tribute \\'e
were to send to the 1\ 1 ad:llne, Of cOllrse. if she had been
l,,'Oing to sta), here for some little time, it would h:we been
lovd)' tn have stnt her five or six (Iozl'n American Be:luty roses,
but a great quantity of Row-ers would embarrass her, particularly
as she was Illa)' ing a one-night stllnd; anti, further than that,
where were the ex-p4':nses of the committee corning from. if we
spent all th:lt mone), on the Rowers? It was finally decided by the
colllllliuee to go out to Callahan's to a real bedsteak su pper,
think the matter over and, if possi-ble, arrive at a decision
there.
After mature deliberation we bought Madame lJernh:lrtlt a dozen
and a half of nondescript roses from a florin, who was just closing
up when we were on our wa}' to the theatr~. Under all the
circumstances it would hav~ bttn a shame to have embar-rassed her
with a lot of beautiful flowers that she would not h:\\'~ known
what to do with.

rat had a time with the buffaloes wh1ch I think he has oot yet
forgtlUM. One day h(' saw a buA'alo running right IOwuds him, and
he dropped his cooking potS and nn for his life, but the buffalo
passed on, and the companions of the frightened cook began to "guy"
him about run~ing ~way from a buffalo that was not chasmg him at
all.
A day or twO later we were passing, a Imall herd in the open
oounuy. and LIb-Ulimffigll thought he would try to get back his
rtputation for rourage by making these animals run. So he
brandished his stick and ran a few StqJ5 towards them. But the big
bull was nearest him. and there wu no sign of Aight. I called the
boy back, but his reputation was again at stah, and he ran towards
them again. The big bull ~t men2ong. Finally the: young men of our
party, who had been watching with the greatcst intertst, btgan to
urge Ubutimmga on, saying. "Go nl!arer, they will run away." Thl!
shouting and jeering accomplished wh:n the young man alone had
failed to do, and the hl!rd showed signs of flipt. In a moment they
were gallop-inr off, and my buffalo-dtaser, in the in-tOJe icalion
of his pleuun: in chasing these I'fHt animals and therl!by
regaining his ltanding for muragc, ran after them so far that he
came to amp that evming. aiter a tramp of nearly nine hours, plus
the buffalo-chasing, 10 tind that I had to be my own cook that
night.
The buffaloes, elephants, hippopotami, lropa.rds and O1ht.r
animals furnish some dh'ersioo, but it is the people who are
reall}' tnOIC intl!nsting. They once gave them-sdva pn:tty
coruistmdy to war, witch-cnft and slaving. but now they are taking
up a mort. contructive prO(tnm. Typical of riteir interests in the
earlier time is the linle story of tnc two chiefs. One chief ontt
~t a rnCMaKt to another, laying:
"81.1, mt some slavcs, but don't buy rnm and don't buy womm;
just buy me some of that commodity th.t they call 'peoplc.' "
The second chief was alarmed, sa)'i~l: "This man is Sttking a
pretcxt for mak~nl war against inC', for hC' has Stnt mC' an
.Im-possible request." But finally, after thln~ing about the
matter, he sent back thiS
responSl!: d ' "Come allli get your slaves; but on. t
come in thC' day-time, :t".d don't ~mC' In the night-time: JUSt
come In that thing they call 'time.'''
Among: thCSC' people I n.ow h:l\'t: many friends. some of whom
wTLle to me from time to time. On our station a church of nearly
five hundred mC'mber~ has Itfown up and in conntcli()n with thiS
church we had whl!n I left. thirty schools ~atttred all over the
distri.ct. supported enmely by native funds and carried on by
native effort, under the supervision of the missionaries. Some
young men of cxcdlt:nt native ability have wn turned into this
work. and they are carrying it ()n at a financial sacrifice to
themselves.
ThC' substance of the matter is that the African is as savage as
his customs make him and the explanation of his s.·lVa~ry is n~t 50
much biological as histOrical. H ith-erto he has been largely
isolated from the broadest life-giving Clilturt: movl!ments of the
racl!. At the same time he has been n victim of tht: savagery of
the slave tr~de from abroad, which stimulated that earned on as a
part of native life. Giant forces. which he has little understood.
have sought to exploit him and to 3bsorb his territory. Strange
races have warred around his coast-line and lip his rivers. A few
have gone there to be his frimds. He is very responsive to a
warm·hearted message that brings him inspi ration and offC'rs him a
helping hand.

What About Commencement? Commen~ment is a :.eason of
somewlmt
confused values. Just bKause a senior class is more or less
essential to the occasion, all seniors regud themseh·es as the very
warp and woof of which the commencement sea-son is fabricated, but
are they? 1 10 be lure, most seniors do their share of woof-inK.
and some of them are badly warped by the time they have acquired
their last needed hour of credit, but when it comts to
commenc:unent, the)' are only super-numeraries of a conventional
stage setting.

Ribical Quotation , in substance at leasl. \Ve al\\lays distrust
our 3ccuracy in quol· ing from the Good Book. \Ve are never quite
su re about the pronouns. whether they should be "thee" and "thine"
or "rou" and "yourn." But, regardless of verbal ex-actitude, the
eternal truths are there to sup-port almost any \\'orthy
argument.
The above, for instance, furnishes an admirable text fo r a
discourse on our Al-umlli Fund. The alum n i sec.retaT)' of Yale
told us that he attribu tes the unusual loy-altr and solidarity of
Yale alumni through-OUt the country to their alumni fund, mOft'
than to any other factor. Each alumnus foels an instinctive
responsibil ity for the maintenance of the fund and, contributinl!,
his bit annually, has a constantly growing interest in the
operation of his constantl)· growing investment. Dartmouth and
other progressive institutions are developing the S3me situation to
their great advantage.
Our own Alumn i Fund has made a promising start, but is now
sorely in need of more general development. T he treas-urer of the
Associated Alumni has been making a wide appeal for addit innal
sub-scribers to save the treasury from threat-ened bankruptcy.
Something more than 300 loyal alumni are already enrolled, but that
is far tOO small a percent3ge if the work is to con tinue and grow
in iml>ortanee. as it has at cou ntless othe r institutions. The

IICnlatives from the home campus were very much gratified at the
receptions they re-ceived and at the very manifest interest
maintained by the alumni SO far from the scc:nc of prtscnt-da),
activities. It was a plea5ureahle and encouraging experience
throughout.
Aher each dinner an annual businm meedng was held, at which the
different associations elected the following offittrs for the
coming rcar:
New York Association: Pre;ident, H on. James A. Hamilton. '98;

You r editorial nOie on "A OtmOCratic Commencement" is in line
with oi>sen'a-lions I h:I.\'c made on many similar occa· sions..
This matter of "meeting on the levd " is ptrhaps not very

bold to offer a suggestio n which prompts cxpr~ion of another:
\VII}' is it the judgment of the: powers that be 10 con-tinue 10

? Surely aCCCS5ions to the ranles of the alumni some-time will make
other provision n~ary. It i~ a clueslion in my mind whether that
poin! was not reached some time: abro. The capacity is
inadequate-both of vestibule and dining hall.
I lIpprttiare the f:lct that it is highly desi rilble to have
such a fU llct ion within campus bounds.. \Ve are all thankful that
the prospect for ample provision on the new site is so near. In the
meantime would it sene better to pro\'ide larger accommo-dations
for the an llllal dinner ~ The local Mason ic fraternit}' wOllld
much prefer to confine its gatherings to the Masonic Tem-ple, but
for years some of the Masonic or-ganizations have had to go
outside. The banquet of the Rochester Consistory, for install~,
held many times in 5t1c(:cssioll at the Powers Hmd, mu~t be held
this rear in the big Bausch & Lomb dining room in order to
provide sufficient accommoda-tions_ \Vith ample Roor space, the
