lfii THE A D YT UIII. The Qunior anquet. March 24th, the junior class, always an aspiring class, as is signi- tied by the above cut, created an innovation by banqueting the Senior class and their ladies and also Dr. and Mrs. Purinton, in the spacious apartments of the Hotel Granville. The custom, common in many schools, had never been observed here, and the honor of starting it belongs to the class ot '92, The occasion referred to was enjoyable in every respect and is indicative ofthe good will and friendly terms of the two classes. About fifty partook of the festivities of the occasion. PROGRAM OF TOASTS. Symposiarch, - - - C. H. Spencer. Class of '91, - - Bruce Kinney, '9Q.

Q oplfnonoorae Q-Irpque This historic social affair honors with its occurence, the twenty- first of March, ls9l. To say it was a resplendent success, is confessing the writer's inability to adorn it with sutliciently glowing cpitliets. The Sophs. were present in the full glow of youth, eloquence and excellence. The evening was dedicated to festivity by veteran Peter Sorgumson, who rendered in a touching and original style, that beauti- fully sentimental selection, f'Marguerite. All hearts were overflowing with mellow mirth. lt was a continuous symphony of meiriment and a whirl of fun. It was an evening of unchequered enjoyment and was litly concluded by an elaborate supper. liach guest, before departing, gazed smilingly upon the motto of the class, emblazoned in a golden arch over the entrance to the banquet hall- Sfmt ,fM1'y111'.vy1fe. So the memory or '93 lives in the hearts of all present, in golden permanency. A worthy tribute to renown.

FEBRUARY Quth. A banquet held in honor of ff The Father of his Country is given annually by the students of D. U. on February 22. This year was no exception to the rule, only the banquet was held on Friday evening, February 20, as the twenty-second fell on Sunday. The committee composed of I. E. Woodland, M. Criswell, A. D. Sorensen, F.. F. Schmitz, H. P. Miles and W. H. Browning, had arranged a most excell- ent menu, with the aid of the ladies of the Baptist church. F. R. Morse, D. U. '85 was prevailed upon by this committee to deliver an address on lVashington. Dr. Purinton was, after a very heated and lengthy debate, Qindulged in by Profs. Mcliibben, Jones and Tight,j elected to respond for the faculty to the toast, 4' lVashington's Opportunity. At the mass meeting of the students to elect a represeetative from the college, to respond to the toast, the most intense excitement prevailed. Every party claimed the honor. The Seniors ciaimed it by right of seniority and from the fact that few of their number had ever received many college honors. The Sophs. demanded that some one must be chosen from their vast array of intellectual men. After much wire- pulling, two of the frats. withdrew from the struggle, throwing the balance of their power in favor of the Preps , who alone remained calm and contented. After a long struggle the Sophomore yell rent the air and E. U. Smith, '93 bore away the honors.
