ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 89 of possibilities, a building of air castles as it were. It has been said that 'C To a healthy mind the world is a constant challenge of opportunities? If this is so, what a future is in store for us. We have not an unhealthy mind among us. I am advised by our .statistician that the average condition of our minds is only two per cent lower than the alumni of the Harvard Law School, and ive per cent lower than the law schools of California. This is really remarkable when we consider that the lawyers living upon the sea coasts eat a g1'eat deal of fish. And fish, as is well known, is a great brain producer. We of the middle states are at a disadvantage in this respect, it not being so much a custom of the people to eat fish in large quantities, owing to the scarcity and consequent high price. It is possible, however, to sometimes obtain a fair quality of fish here, as for instance Columbia river salmon, pike, from the west, and' smelts and perch, which are frozen and shipped from the least. But they lose their freshness, and vitality, you might call it, in transportation, so that by the time they are placed upon our tables for final consumption, the real brain essence is gone and -consequently they are of little value to us as a brain food. I have taken occasion to digress a little to the subject of fish, merely to show that our alumni are laboring at a slight handicap in favor of those who live on the coast. But what we lack Qand' it is very smallj in brain development is completely overshadowed by the excellence of our capacity to do, our energy and push, and our unchallenged breadth of mind which enables us to suc- cessfully grapple the most intricate subjects and bring them to a scientific focus. We are essentially active and progressive. Long may we live and prosper. ADDENDA.-Since writing the above, I am advised that the ofhccrs of the association were and are as follows: Presidmt, Hon. A.
