These guests are the members of the Phi Delta Literary Society. The custom for such entertainment dates back some eight or nine years, to a time not long after the founding of the college literary societies. Because of the enjoyableness of the eventland the good fellowship for which it stands, the custom has been repeated each year. As yet the occasion commemorates no especial date nor is it of any definite character. The entertainments have varied muchg from informal evening parties and masquerades to the formal banquets. The event, altho often causing considerable agitation among the girls as to what should be its character, is looked forward to with great anxiety. The value of such social affairs can hardly be estimated. Out of this fellowship and mingling with others, there comes a training and social value that could I1Ot be obtained from books. As we associate with our fellow-students at these particular in- stances, we absorb the meaning of some of the finer characteristics which are essential in the development of the highest types of personality. There is an interchange of ex- pressions, and We come to understand each other better, with respect to both the think- ing-and the acting--self. T35 T mn V
