holding an important position at King's College School, Wim-
bleton, but he trusted that on a future occasion he, with many
other masters, would attend the Neuenheim gathering, for the
Old Boys were always delighted to welcome their former
instructors. In proposing the " Imperial Forces " he would
refer to the distinction recently won by tho Chairman ; Capt.
Ogg was the first Neuenheimer to pass the Staff College
examination (cheers), but he would soon be followed by

The toast was acknowledged by Capt. Sillery, Capt. G. M.
Molloy, I.S.C., aud Mr. Gordon Lobb, the last mentioned
relating some of his experiences in the Imperial Yeomanry in
South Africa.
" Success to Commerce" was proposed in well chosen

Russell Nash, Mr. H. W. S. Eentell, Mr. A. J. Parker, and
Mr. A. G. Ripley.
Capt. F. Spring Walker, I.S.C., proposed the toast of

The College, he said, was founded in 1843 by Herr F. Kaiser ;

situated then near the Klingenthor, at the foot of the
Schlossweg. Subsequently the institution was moved to the
Plöckstrasse, and in 1862 to the Bergheimerstrasse. In 1870
Dr. Klose became headmaster, and in 1876 he acquired the

played without masters." Mr. Lionel Armitage became
headmaster in 1889, but three years later Mr. F. Armitage
returned to the College. A few years afterwards Mr. H.
C. Girdlestone became proprietor of the concern. He hoped
Neuenheim College would continue to flourish.
The Headmaster, who was received with enthusiastic
cheers, briefly responded, saying that he would not weary the
Old Boys with a list of the successes recently obtained by the
