Never did I meet an individual who took a more kindly and sympathetic interest in our school than did Mr.Huntington.He not only gave money to us, but took time in which to advise me, as a father would a son, about the general conduct of the school.
More than once I have found myself in some pretty tight places while collecting money in the North.

The following incident I have never related but once before, for the reason that I feared that people would not believe it.

One morning I found myself in Providence, Rhode Island, without a cent of money with which to buy breakfast.

In crossing the street to see a lady from whom I hoped to get some money, I found a bright new twenty-five-cent piece in the middle of the street track.

I not only had this twenty-five cents for my breakfast, but within a few minutes I had a donation from the lady on whom I had started to call.
At one of our Commencements I was bold enough to invite the Rev.E.
Winchester Donald, D.D., rector of Trinity Church, Boston, to preach the Commencement sermon.
