Never was a heartier welcome extended to President Cleveland than he received during his short stay at Cambridge, and men of all political creeds joined in the greetings extended to him. Never in the history of Cambridge has any single event brought together such eminent men leaders in statesmanship, oratory, learning and science, as those who assembled last Monday at the alumni dinner held at Memorial Hall.

Porter then ran the ball to the fifteen yard line, which feat he followed up by kicking too far, sending...
...oration delivered to them by the Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in Sanders Theatre, fulfilled in every way all that even the most exacting could expect of one of Harvard's most distinguished sons. The dinner tendered the graduates of the Law School by its present members brought back many pleasant reminiscences of the past, when all were once plunged in the mysteries of Blacks' one and Kent.
