present boys. He was happy to assure them that the College
was flourishing, indeed an extra house had had to be taken
to comfortably accommodate new pupils. He thanked the
Masters for loyal support and concluded by saying that he
had never had a better set of boys, both for their industry in
books and sport, and their conduct in and out of schoolhours.
Mr. R. H. Allpress felicitously proposed the health of the
Past Presidents of the Old Neuenheiniers' Society, a toast
which was acknowledged by Capt. R. C. Luard (1900), Mr.
W. B. C. Vincent (1898), and Mr. H. E. Salfery (1899). The
last montioned commented on the growth of the Neuenheim
gatherings, and wound up a brilliant speech by reciting the
following: —
Let us all then decide, ere we part,
lie we statesmen, or soldiers, or sages,
That our School's ancient name cf unparalleled fame
Shall adorn the new century's pages.
Be we great, small, athletic, or clever,
Let's link hands in the common endeavour,
That till time shall he past dear old Neuenheim shall last,
As the fairest of all Schools for ever.
Mr. G. G. Myatt gave the toast of "The Chairman," and
led off the musical honours. Captain Ogg, in his reply, said
he was delighted to have had the honour of presiding over
tho largest gathering of old Neuenhoimers yet held. Ho felt
bound to acknowledge Mr. Northcott's labours in bringing
so many fellows together, and could not understand why
modesty induced him to omit his name from the toast list.
Before calling upon all to drink Mr. Northcott's health and to
wish him luck during the New Year, he wished to thank
Mr. John Hassall for kindly designing the handsome menu
card, a picture he would alwaj's treasure as a delightful
souvenir of a memorable evening (cheers);
During the evening Mr. W. P, Brough entertained the
company with some melodious songs, and Dr. Brönner, owing
to Mr. E. B. Todd's loss of voice, sang " Dear Old Nouenheim,"
the words (given below) and tho music of which wore arranged
