THE Annual Supper of the Institute took place at Young's Hotel, on Thursday evening, May 25. About fifty were present, including seven of the first ten chosen from '80.
Mr. Bowen, President of the Institute, presided, and rising towards the middle of the supper, after expressing pleasure at seeing the first ten so well represented, called on Mr. E. C. Perkins for his poem. In reply, Mr. Perkins read his poem with his customary grace. Mr. McLennan was then asked to deliver his oration, which drew forth great applause from every one.
Mr. Bowen next introduced Mr. Twombley as Toast-master. The following toasts were given during the course of the supper: The Institute of 1770, responded to by Mr. Bowen; Our Noble Selves, by Mr. Donaldson; The First Ten, by Mr. William Hooper; The Absent, by Mr. J. G. Coolidge; The Freshman Class, by Mr. Griswold; The Ladies, by Mr. F. M. Ware; The Freshman Crew, by Mr. C. Ware; The University Base Ball Nine, by Mr. J. Wright; The Committee on the Supper, by Mr. Barlow.
Mr. Sheldon, the Chorister of the Institute, enlivened the more serious part of the repast with well-chosen songs, interspersed with delightful frequency.
The supper was excellent, and very well served; and many thanks are due to the Committee for their pains.
