of Laiittuter.
Thore was numerically a very fair and
highly intellectual audlence gathered in the
college chapel en Wednesday evcuing te hear
the alumni address. Ptosldeut Titel, of the
alumni association, openod the exercises and
introduced the alumni orator, Dr. A. S.
Gerhard, of Philadelphia, whose theine was
" The Future University." He speke sub
stantially as fellows :
"Comlngevonts cast their shadows before."
Kefen lug twek te 1853 when F it M colleges
were consolidated, and following its history te
tethe present day, we Hud that the Institu
tion "has remained firm in its adhcronce te
what It conceives te be the true end and aim
of a college," and opposed te partial and ir
regular courses and te admitting se-called
technical studies at the dacrillee et time for a
liberal education. Its aim is the developing
of the mental powers and faculties preieira preieira
tery te the study of tlie lcarned professions,
and ether practical and technical pursuits of
life, which latter belong te the theological,
medical, law and technical schools. Wero
its educational standard adopted, thore would
bu less quackery in the professions, and less
protentlous scielisms in overy direction. A
glance at the past record also shows that seme
of the objects had in view from the begin
ning, have In a great measure been nttdiued.
Tlie "sleeping giant" is rapidly awakening
te an appreciation of her vast moral
and intellectual resources. Tlie German ele

of thostate, and the opprobrious epithet has

The Kliidergarten is new a familiar institu
tion. Tlie central high school of Philadel
phia, maintains a regular professorship of.
German literature, a study obligatory, net
optional, and the Modlce-Cliirurglcd collego
of the same city announces in Its prospectus
that "the system of teaching is a combina

German families new send their sons te col cel col

The Origin nl the Sutletlc.
One of the most Interesting features of the
ovenlug was tlie reading of a carefully pre
pared paper by Kev. Dr. Gerhart iuuiiswer
te his toast As it has relation te the history
of both the literary srclotles we gl volt In full:
On Monday evening, the eighth of June
lKITi, tlie students or the Institution known
as the high school or Yerk, Pa., convenod III
general meeting In oneoftboupporroomsora
plain, unpretending two-story brick building
located en the west side or Seuth Geerge
street, about two squares fiem the centre of
tlie town, for the purpese of creating, by ene
act, at the same tlme and place, two literary
societies. Only tw cnty students wero present
though the high, school iiad en Its roll the
names of a much greater number.
An organization for mutual improvement had
been iu oxistcuce for many mouths previous,
and was conducted with spirit, though many
of the students were net inoiubers el it Hut
the Interest In the organization was net equal
te our desires. A new movement, it was
thought, might be Inaugurated, which would
kindle mere enthusiasm among the students
aud yield better fruit
It happened tiiat thore had been among us
for the hotter part of a year a young man
who was n graduate of Jcllorsen college,
thou located at Canonsburg, Fa., who had
been an active memlier of ene of two rival
llterary societies, and was very zealous iu ad
vocating the wisdom and !mortauce of simi
lar organizations in the high school. His
uame was Samuel K. Fisher, and Ills room
mate was J. U. Augustus Jlombergor.
Though a student hi the thoolegical semi
nary, Fisher freely associated and feltallvely
sympathy with the students of the high
school. He and his room-mate had frequent
ly discussed tlie questien or rival societies
among themselves. Besides the matter was
time aud again debated iu private circles.
Gradually the moveiiiout gained impetus,
and at length a sulllcleut number declared
themselves ready for the decislve step ; then
tlie memorable meeting en the eighth of
June was convened.
Iu recognition of tlie tact that Mr. Fisher
had given the iuitiative te the movement, he
was called te the chair, and Jehn Ii.
Cox, of Hiirrisburg, was made secretary.
Wuen the object of the meeting had tioen
stated, two persons wero appointed a com cem com
mittee te propose such a division et all per
sons present as they would think equal. The
chair appointed Jehn 11. Cox and Jesse Stel
nor, who reported two lists or names, ten en
the first list and ten en thosecend. On the
Hrst list steed Henry Wllliard, Geergo W.
Willlard, Samuel K. Fisher, Jehn It Cox,
Moses Kleller, Isaac H. McCauly, William
F. Collillevvor, Datilel G. Hlnkle, Ames H.
Kremer and Daniel Miller. On the second
list steed the following names : Jaeeb leg leg
ler, Jesse Htelner, Andrew S. Yeung, Clias.
F. McCauley, Isaac 13. Hauser, Geerge IL
Martin, Michael Lyster, Jehn R. Keeken,
E. V. Gerhart and J. IL Augustus Homber Hember
gor. This report of the coinmlttee dividing the
high school students present into two classes
was unanimously accepted, and Immediately
the two divisions soparated and convened,
each In a room by Itself. Tills transaction
originated the Dlaguethlan and Gccthean
literary socletles ene year bofero tlie organ 1 1
tlen of Marshall collego.
On that memorable evenlng of Juue eighth,
when the members of the second division
had convenod by themselves, they resolved
themselves into an association under the
name of the Diagnethlau Llteray society,
and appointed Thursday evening, Juue
eloveutb, the tlme for the first regular
meeting.
Tlie llrst division as.su med the name of
Giuthean at u later day, but at what tlme
proclsely this action was taken does net ap
pear from the records.
The first regular meeting of the Diag Diag
eothlau Llterary soclety was accordingly
held en Thursday evening evening, Juue
eleventh, at which Mr. Jacob .iegler pre
sided and Mr. Ilombergor was secretary. A
constitution which by Informal common con
sent hail been previously prepared by
eaiiiuui iu i' isner was iiieu reau, amouueu
and adopted. The same instrument was sub
mitted te the ether society at iu llrst meet
ing. Tlie two rival associations ware ac
cordingly organized, and began their eventful
history en proclsely the same foundation,
each making a low amendments of the
original constitution or Mr. Fisher according
te Its own Judgment
The llrst otllcers or Dlagnethla elected
under the constitution wero the follewing:
Andrew 8. Yeung, president ; H. Y. Ger
hart, yice president and treasurer, and J. H.
A. Kouibergor secretary. It is e fact worthy
or record thai or the lour yeunc llien who
were first called te held efllce in the precess
ofthe organization of the society, threo after
lue lapse ei uuy years are living.
At tlie tlrst regular meeting there were
present eleven members, net the ten only
whose names wero in the list of the second
division ropertod en Monday evenlng. The
Dlaguothean society thus began her iiUtery
with one tnember mere than the Gcctliean,
The particulars which led te this dltl'orenco
iu favor or Dlagnethla I de net recollect; and
the erlgual records are silent But or the,
fact iUell thore is no room for doubt. That
additional member who haponed te be
absent from the preliminary general meet
ing en Monday evening, June 8th, was my
Intimate friend and classmate, diaries A.
Hay, who Is new the Kev, Dr.
II ay, and has for many years been
