The Flagon.

Supreme event of the evening was the presentation to the club of a valuable silver flagon by Messrs. George Culliford and Roy Johnston. In his oration to the meeting, Mr. Culliford stated that both he himself and his fellow-donor had been deeply moved by the excellent progress the club had been evidencing since its re-inception, and desiring that some tangible evidence of this progress be retained in the properties of the club, they had decided to present a silver flagon on which should be engraved each year the name of the club president. That the flagon be kept in sacred trust by the club and that a verse from the pen of Omar Khayyam, the guide of the donors' philosophy, be engraved on the flagon for the enlightenment of all future members, were the wishes expressed by Mr. Culliford. Mr. Culliford concluded one of the most moving speeches ever presented at a Haeremai function with apt excerpts from the "Rubaiyat."

Mr. Wilson accepted the flagon on behalf of the Club, expressed his deep gratitude of the action of the donors, and initiated the flagon. It was decided by the meeting that the flagon be engraved the "Culliford-Johnston Presidents' Flagon," and that it be used by each president at all ceremonial functions.

The formalities of the evening dispensed with, the gathering retired to the smoke-room, where reminiscences of other days provided enjoyable entertainment.

The function was one of the most enjoyable "Salient" has attended, and evidenced the great value in college life of good social fellowship.—S.K.H.
