A , 'liistnrg nf -the Qfilzws nt pilliil I .- p It was a kind fate that placed the Rev. Dr. John Harding and the Hon. Robert L.pStewart, YVestminster '79, in adjoining 'deck chairs on the great steamer Luritania. After graduation Deacon Harding had gone to the seminary, later answered a call from a Brooklyn church and was now a leading divine of that place. Rock Stewart had sought his fortunes in the VVest and was now president of the largest trust company in Denver. They had not met since their graduation, and only once had either visited the old college. Stewart. had spent a week in Fulton on his way East to take the boat. Greetings said, the talk reverted to the old college days and Stewart 's 'recent visit to Fulton. I Of course Deacon, said the Hon. 'Rock,' there is a great change in Fulton since the old days, people and all. Wonderful change in Westminster too. Five fine large' buildings, new athletic field and all, you know. ' But 'Deacon,' the thing that most impressed me was that wonderful senior class there now. Why it's the greatest bunch of young menlever saw. Dr. Kerr told me that there wasn't a phase of college life those fellows weren't interested in and leaders in it too. They have some of the best foot ball and base ball players the college ever turned out, declaimers, orators, debaters, prize scholars, Y. M. C. A. workers, editors of the college publications, glee club men, and some of them have managed to graft, or grafted to manage-I don't know'which-everything about college. Deacon. you just ought to see that bunch, 'it's a winner I tell you, and one of the largest in the historyl . I Well, well. It certainly doesmy heart good. to hear all this. responded the Rev. Deacon, you know I always told you 'Rock' that the old college was bound to turn out a great class some day. I That's just it, Deacon, that is a great class. VVhy those young Americans aren't going to have to begin- at the bottom and drag along like most college gradu- ates. The worldls waiting for them with open arms.. It won't be ten years ,until you'll. see them all bank presidents, foreign ambassadors or on the supreme- bench, every one will have some place of importance- in the state. 'Deak,' I don't see how the world hasz gotten along without them as long as it has. I was getting pretty much discouraged about the United. States with all this talk of. trusts, corruption, bribery and the like, but when I saw that class I knew that it' was alright. 'Why they ought to scatter out and go to twenty different countries. It seems to me to .be- nothing short of waste to spend all of those lives in the United States in-gone generation. Deaconcould hold his enthusiasm no longer. Rock, he said, I haven't smoked since those days back at college thirty years ago, but I say, let 'su go in and get a cigar, just for the sake of the old col-- lege. ' ' Yes, said Rock, 'for Westminster and the greatest class-1 And they passed out of hearing. I Not because your hair is czwly.-FRANK BAKER. ..Bn.:.na.--4-:ffl .- .
