AMHERST ALUMNI

THE FIRST MEETING FOR '94 OF THE  'YOUNG' ASSOCIATION.
The first meeting for the current season of the Young Alumni Association of 
Amherst College of New York vicinity took place last evening at the
St. Denis Hotel, Broadway and Eleventh Street, New York.  
Much interest attached to the occasion in consequence of the radical new departure 
by which all formal speeches and invited guests were to be omitted and also in view 
of the fact that the regular seniors assocation of the Alumni has, this year given 
up its usual annual dinner.The attendance, last evening was exceptionally large 
rarely having been exceeded in the annals of Amherst gatherings and the 
results of the evening were such as to commend the judgement of the managers. 

Messrs. BROOKS and DENTON, the famous banjo peformers, assisted by the only  
Marshall P. WILDER, rendered, in the first part of the evening, a programme 
of eight numbers, of selections from MOSKOWSKI, STRAUSS, SILBERGER and SOUSA 
and other popular composers: while Mr. WILDER kept up his end with his usual 
face, pantomine, comic opera and by play.  After the exclusively literary 
part of the programme, an elaborate supper was served and the remainder of 
the evening spent informally and socially, in reviving college reminiscences, 
telling college tales, and renewing old acquaintances.  The Young Alumni 
were present in force, nearly every class from that of 1849, represented by 
Vice-President John H. WASHBURN, of the Home Insurance Company, of New York, 
down to that  of 1893, contributing a delegation. 
 
Among those present from Brooklyn were : 
Hon. William W. GOODRICH, 
Rev. William D. PERRY, 
Charles M. PRATT, 
Frederick B. PRATT, 
Herbert L. BRIDGMAN, 
Dr. Arthur R. PAINE, 
Winston H. HAGAN, 
Andrew P. ALVORD, 
E.E. JACKSON, Jr., 
Edward H. FALLOWS, 
Frank L. GREEN, 
Henry W. GOODRICH.  

For the second meeting of the association, to be held several weeks hence, a dinner is 
contemplated, which will bring to the front some of the more recent accessions from 
the undergraduates, and introduce to the public after dinner speakers of much promise. 
The president of the Young Alumni Association is W. S. ROSSITER, of  '84.
