IÖ95 DER NEUENHEIMER.
Molloy, H. Erskine, H. Hobson, L. Ashburner, J., S., and
F. Atkinson, W. Paul and E. Jesset. The menu was in
all respects an excellent one, containing three novelties
— in the entrees there was Filet Mignon grille
aux champignons ä l'Armitage, in the sweets
P o u d i n g ä la Neuen heim (which turned out to be
Xmas pudding, and for fish Red Mullet ä la Connie
Vincent. By request all the toasts were responded to
and proposed as briefly as possible, but of course the
one of the evening, „Neuenheim College", was made
an exception. All present were glad to hear the dear
„Old Man's" cheer)' voice. He was very enthusiastic
about the successes of several pupils of Neuenheim
College, and the record of doings of past students was
in every way satisfactory. As usual Mr. Armitage gave
kindly mention of the staff of the College and in alluding
to the appointment of Mr. Girdlestone wished particularly
to impress upon his hearers that this new connection
with the illustrious school would in no way interfere
with his holding the managerial reins. The „Old Man's"
health was drunk with musical honours and with the
heartiest „ three times three*. Mr. Vincent also made
his official statement after the „Old Boys", toast had
been proposed by Mr. Allpress and in the course of his
remarks stated that though former Neuenheimers al-
ways had the most cordial remembrances of the insti-
tution they shewed some apathy in answering his in-
vitations to the Dinner. This is a matter which all
present pupils should bear in mind. The Old Boys
of a school are like the ivy growing round the oak,
which, to protect it from the rain and winds cling as
closely as possible to the trunk of the tree. Neuen-
heimers must in like manner stick to their school, must
protect it from the wilful mistatements and bad impres-
sions which often accompany successful enterprises, and
must do their best now and hereafter to shed honour
and renown on an institution, in which they have spent
their happiest days. The old boy's dinner is but one
of the means — an important one — by which they
can help the school, and if there still remains any of
the old esprit de corps which has animated their prede-
cessors during the past fifty years, they will do their
utmost to attend the annual gattering, and thus shew
