Washington's Birthday Oration EDWARD ARTHUR O,HARA A RE R. PRESIDENT, CLASSMATES, AND IVR FRIENDS: 1 A It is the custom before giving this speech to explainrthat it is in no way an foration, W., merely an attempt to chronicle the under- graduate life with especial attention to those A little irregular incidents in the lives of the students, no mention of which appears in the Weekly letter home. I have been par- ticularly careful to verify each story and can assure you that only the truth will be told by me this morning. Although I have made no attempt to compile these stories in any logical order it seems but natural to open with an experience of Basset's. Noel, the social butterfly of 1911, was favoring a tea in Trenton with his presence. I-Ie was engaged in conversation with the daughter of the hostess, who was not considered a good-looker even in Trenton. I-Ie was approachedby the young lady's mother who inquired, Mr, Basset, will you have your tea with lemon P Ulf your daughter insists, returned Basset. Basset's closest rival for social distinction is Vlfalter Eaton. Walter has always been considered by -his classmates as a man of the highest ideals. But not until this Xmas vacation did he have an opportunity to demonstrate this fact. At a luncheon he was called upon to describe his ideal man. I-Ie gave a close and accurate description of himself, but his in- herent modesty prompted him to add that the man to be per- fect physically should be tvvo inches taller than himself. It is interesting to note en passant that George, alias Butch Root tops Walter by two scant inches. 5
