THE President told the following story of himself at the recent dinner of the New York Harvard Club. He said that, contrary to the usual course of nature, he was growing younger instead of older as years advanced. About twenty years ago, when he was a tutor and proctor, he was disturbed one night by a noise in the Yard, and, going out to see what was the matter, he heard a voice exclaim, "Here comes old Eliot." But last winter, walking into town one evening, he met two undergraduates, and heard one say to the other, when he had passed by, "I wonder where Charlie is going at this time of night."
