...Swift will appreciate the opportunity given them to-night. Col. Higginson is well known to us all. Of Gen. Swift, we would like to say that a more amusing speaker, a better story teller, has rarely appeared before American audiences. He is often compared with John B.

He urged it as a claim upon those who practice abstinence and have the good name of their college at heart, to come forward and support the League by their membership. Many men refuse to join, merely because they do not believe in pledges. These are among the men who have the greatest respect for their college, and to these I appeal to give the League their...
