The forenoon was pt^sed In happy greetings each trying to outdo the other lu soci ibllity and welcome to eacti and every new-comer. Refresh­ ments were eerv» 1 on the lawn at noon .t«jd notwithstanding the 1 »rge number present, all were bountifully provided lor.

Many speech­ es were offered, in connection wlrtroue hy Mr. Whitney when a splendid golJ watch was presented to friend Ragan. by the "Old Settlers" of Waukegan. The n« xt in order was a speech by Hon. R. Bishop, of McHeory, present­ ing (o Mr. Ragan the History of McHenry Co., from the "Old Settlers" of McHenry and vicinity.

After a Most enjoyable ivc weeks absence from my varied duties and puriutU, I And myself onr.e mora at borne, and, having doffed my habiliment* of ease and pleasure, and donned my garb of business, I hereby an­ nounce to my numerous patron* and friends that I am i.oir to be fonnd at my post of duty, and it shall be my aim In t^e future as It has been in the past, that tbe standard ot honors conferred shall not ta lowered, and that my Alma Mater as well as my friends and patrons shall deem them wortnily bostowed. To Alfred Universlt* I owe much of gratitude for the aid she rendered roe la my early strug­ gles with ignorance and poverty. By her motherlv care, while she was yet but an em. bryo college I was enabled to eke oct tbe results ot my own labor and invest tbe same in a course of study which prepared me to enter odvanced classes at Union College where I recei\ed successive degrees of scholarship and merit, vis: "A. B." and "A. M. D„" conferred after due examination and lawful information. and now, that after these many years Alfred Academy has grown into a University In all that the name implies where any person can receive instruction in any study, and has conferred upon me the highly esteemed honorary degree of Ph D* t should be ungrateful indeed should I neg lect to acknowledge the honor. Alfred Uni­ versity is located at Alfred centre, Allegany county, M. V., has a eommodious suite of buildings, cabinets, libraries, various literary societies and all the needed attachments which, under the direction of a competent (faculty and corps of teachers, cannot fall to make an accomp iahed scholar of any student endowed with teal and application. Alfred Centre has not an extensive population, but her cilisens are a unit In support ef the Uni­ versity, and in the encouragement of indi­ gent young persons in pursuit of a liberal ed ucation, highly moral and religions, of all denominations with seventh day Baptist predominant, strictly tempe<ate and probibl. tory, as no licensed places for the tale of In. toxlcating drinks are allowed withla six miles. By reference to a late oatalogne of the University I lerrn that the entire annual ex* pense ot a student need not exceed fiSO and It any ot my young acquaintances and friends contemplate a University course of study, I should take pleasure In favoring them with letters of introduction that 'will insure them a eordtal reception by the faculty.
