THE STATE COLLEGIAN
hJew England Alumni
The .following of the
. dinner ,of the New .England Alumni
Association held during the early
part of .December, ,1906, was re
ceived, too latefor insertion in the
preceding issue. We do not hes
itate, .however, to insert it at this
late date, as it manifests the interest
and pride taken in . their Alma Mater
by -those who have left the halls of
this -institution.
The “State‘spirit” and enthusiasm
were -mariifest again in “Boston
Town”.at .the Fall Dinner of the
New England Alumni Association.

at its best, there assembled on Sat
urday evening, December Ist, a
loyal crowd of State alumni. “Good
Cheer!’ was the pass word and with
the “Reminiscences of the Olden
Days” by,C. M. Green, stories of
“Early Athletic Struggles” by C.
H. Hile and Wm. P. Rothrock,
‘‘Present Athletes” by C. M
Kaiser, “Artillery -Practice for the
Young Idea” by Geo. C. Shaad,
and a.talk on “Present Conditions”
by Dr. Walker, there was much ot
interest to those who have gone out
from the shadow of “Old Main.”
Also the happy smile of our es
teemed president, B. J. Bowen,
who has recently become a benedict,
was much in evidence; .and another
toast was given “to the growing
popularity of the State men with the
'fairer sex’ of New England.” Mr.
Bowien replied in a few well-chosen
remarks sparkling with his charac
teristic wit.

Waseda University, Japan, accept
