The distinguished speaker was introduced by President Graham as Professor Tail. In the intro duction he gave a short summary of Mr. Taft's achievements. - Mr. Taft spoke for an hour and a half, and while the nature of his address was serious, he inter spersed it frequently with amus ing stories about his experience as President and the experiences of other Chief Executives. He vigorously opposed the holding of a national convention for the purpose of amending- the Consti tution of the United States, and said that the spirit of conserva tism which governed the framers should continue to prevail. He remarked that "There are those Arizona State Constitution.

Greenville, Rockingham, Char lotte, Asheville; and ' Greensboro were the cities played on the trip last week, and every performance was ethusiastieally received. At Asheville both a matinee and an evening- per forma nee were given tto packed houses, and more than five hundred people witnessed " the" performance at Greensboro. I This trip eclipsed any previous one. Somo over 750 ' miles were covered and three of the largest cities in the state were visited. .,; t; At Greenville a most enjoyable reception was tendered the club by the Senior class of the Eastern Carolina Teachers , T r a j n i n g- School. Here it was that Charlie i ...

I . After the Charlotte perform ance a dance was given by the Misses Mosley. . Francis Clark son and Herschel Johnson were the members. -particularly inter ested , in this date, .this being , their home town. At Asheville the ; real social event was enjoyed. With a num ber of F-assi fern's lair represen tatives on baud, to say nothing of Asheville's fair sex, s a dance was given at , the Battery Park Hotel, which, was one of the most enjoyable entertainments on the trip. The final engagement at the Normal at Greensboro was a fitting- climax to a most successful season. The ladies from both the Normal and Greensboro Col lege for Women, as well as a large number of Greensboro people, en joyed and applauded this con cluding performance. The cur tain talk here was ably delivered, by W. P. M. Weeks, for three years a star in the cast. During his speech he pulled that Antique joke about the best looking man, etcM and, shall it be told, silence reigned supreme. The cast won dered why. " Francis Clarkson proved a most efficient manager and to him the club is indebted for its financial and social success. The work of the coaches, Messrs. McKie, Dar gan, and Thornton,' in preparing this efficient piece for presenta tion is to be commended, for a play of this type would not have been possible without their com bined assistance. - that dignity is" to be preserved. Party criticism should be put off until the crisis is past. .

You have a color and a back ground which is lacking to a col lege situated iii a large; town. You are more united, for here the college is the town, Dartmouth, somewhal like you,: is situated in a small town. Your founding, I believe, was coeval with I the Fed eral Constitution, whereas Dart mouth dates back to 1750. Yale also has this touch of local color, although situated in a -city of over a hundred thousand. . .. This same atmosphere pervades the University of Virginia. I almost expected to see Thomas Jefferson at every corner of the campus. They speak of him as though he were a member of the board of trustees." Here he . chuckled reminiscently. . "You have the same atmosphere here, as is shown by Dr. Battle's history. ' Some of of the newe'y established univer sities of . the West lack this touch of local color and , historic back ground. They almost remind one of efficiency machines." Mr. Taft expressed himself as pleased with 'the fact that the University is pursuing extension work.
