also points with pride to the presidents of two basket-ball teams and the President of the Senior Class. The ECHO, published by the Society and edited by a clever Alpha member assisted by an able staff, is more attractive and entertaining than ever before, and the staff indeed deserve hearty congratulations from the entire College. Certainly Alpha may be pardoned in thus praising its child which has flourished so hardily that it now equals its parent in importance. . Of the f'Alpha Beta Gamma Double Quartetten little need be said, it is now a necessity where formerly it was a luxury. -. The programs throughout the year were all of sterling literary merit and brought out the dormant abilities of many members. The principal features of the literary programs were debates, essays, articles on current topics, talks, readings, recitations and quotations. The several festive days, such as I-Iallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas and St. Valentinels Day, were celebrated in the Society by appropriate programs, the memory of which will always awaken sensa-' tions of pleasure. A A A charming, dainty little room, at the 'west end of the calisthenium is the home of the Alpha Council, the faces of many former council members look out from their frames, and Charming pictures hang on the walls, a bust of Shakespeare lends the necessary literary flavor to the room, and the Venus de Milo ornaments it Vwith her classical beauty. The silver-topped gavel, now lying silent on the table, gives evidence of long and.faithful service, and is a sign of the executive power. The desk is closed, the chairs stand decorously along the walls, and silence reigns, for the Council of Igoo-1901, after one year of faithful service, has departed. But behind it still lingers, and forever will dwell, an earnest wish for the success of every succeeding council, and a loyal love for the Alpha. g 48

The influence of the Society is far-reaching, for her daughters are found in every phase of College life, and Alpha indeed has reason to be proud of them. Our brilliant president has set an example which many may strive to follow, few may equal, and none excel. A college career Which includes being a prize debater, a playwright, president of a literary society, and last, but not least, a valuable member of the basket-ball team, each with equal success, is certainly remarkable.
