most enjoyable features of the
day

lect ion from t In* band.
Chancellor Hill, as master
of ceremonies, introduced Mr.
C. K. Weddington. the orator
of the day, in a few very ap
propriate words. The Chan

very unfortunate afier-elTects () f
many introductory speeches and
that he wished merely to pre
sent Mr. Weddington, with no
reference to his sterling quuli-
tiesnorto the enviable record
he has made during his college
canter.
Mr. Weddington's speech of
thirty minutes length was a
masterly effort. Ib* was con
stantly interrupted by prolonged
applause that testified to his
merits and popularity ;is an
orator. He chose as his theme
“The Mi"ion of the Anglo-
Saxon," and his speech was a
glowing tribute to tin* race that
in future is to dominate the
affairs of the world.
Mr. Weddington showed how
much the hard struggle with
nature in their original north

womanhood. The world do-1
rives its learning from (Jrecce,
its law from Koine, its religion
from-ludea, its manhood from
the Anglo-Saxon.
To the Anglo-Saxon race was
committed the duty of preserv
ing all the learning of the
world. On the devastation of
Italy and the destruction of
Constantinople, all their knowl
edge was poured into the lap of
Knglaud to be handed down to
future generations.

stronghold of Anglo-Saxon do

and Spain attempt to retain
the richest land of the world.
for their own : the hand of fate,
as it were, reserved it for a des
tined nation and a higher pur
pose. Itut if we would attain
this high calling, our nation
must preserve those first princi
ples that actuated our Anglo-
Saxon ancestors. These prin
ciples must be handed down
and instilled into coming gen
erations.
In closing, Mr. Weddington
made a strong appeal to tin*
member-of Demostheniati urg
ing that that they retain their
love and interest in the literary
society, as the training received
in its halls is the most useful
and beneficial acquisition of
college life.
