The PRESIDENT: Ladies and Gentlemen, my introduction to-night is to be
very short indeed, that you may the sooner reach the treat in store.
Our honored speaker of the evening has his own message for us. He
also bears a message from the National Education Association. He is
the honored son of his great and beloved father Bishop Vincent, he
has been dean of the University of Chicago, he is still president of
the Chautauqua Institution, he is the president of the University of
Minnesota, more than all, he is himself, Dr. GEORGE EDGAR VINCENT.
