hind. Some thought that the second heat would bring the victor's downfall, but again the wiry maidens in the Freshman craft bent to their task and the final heat was theirs. The afternoon found us in good lmmor to enjoy the Senior Class Day exercises. A stage had been erected back of Old Main and the bleachers, lthose delightful little triiles college boys like to carry with them to classesj , had been arranged to form an amphitheater in front of the platform. The exercises proved to be wholly unique. An Athenian play in four parts made a vehicle for a clever interpretation of college life and its characteristic activities. First, the Newcomers as the l reshmen, showed us life at VVhiting Hall, Rushing, and the 1 reshman-Sophomore scrap. Then the Knowitalls, the Dissipaters and the VVisdomites came out Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, respectively. Such Worthies as Griffes, the advisor of the ruler of the school of Athens, and Olafitus, reminded us strongly of certain famil- iar men about school. The tender romance of Kalsomine and Aspar- agus touched a sympathetic chord in every heart. The play was thoroly appreciated because of its charming ingenuity and its amus- ing novelty. Lest some people might have forgotten the existence of the Knox Conservatory during the general excitement, of events, at eight o'clock that night, the conservatory graduating class gave a concert in Beecher Chapel. The singers and the players were all at their best. The orchestra accompanied the players in the numbers, thus giving the program a pleasing variety. The skill of the nmsicians thoroly convinced everyone that all the weird bangings and hootings in the East wing of VVhiting Hall had been made for a purpose, and if those strange noises could eventually blend in such pleasing sounds, they were certainly justified. Tuesday at eight o'clock in the morning the trustees convened in Old Blain. VVe do not know what grave matters we1'e transacted there, nor do we know what was taking place up in L. BI. I. Hall at the great reunion. Wle saw and heard enough, however, to convince

ns that lively timcs were in progress. Certainly, it was a meeting the like of which Ailclphi or even Gnothautii have not experienced in many at clay. The alumni ol' thc college anal ol' the conservatory caught the spirit ol' the time and hclcl class reunions about the campus anal ai supper in Central Clmrch. At night the various classes camc together at the Auclitorium for the Melting Potf, thc Senior play. A certain thrill always runs up the spine of the theatre-goer lil' he has not become hlasej when he sees the curtain slowly rise and the orches- tra strikes up for the overture. A pronounced thrill of expectancy runs thru the house and people settle clown to hear, to see, and to criticise. All the usual flurry and excitement of the play were present when the asbestos rose above the lurid moon on Lake Rice-H, and the musicians rattled off a popular waltz. The play is surely an interest- ing one, no matter who the players might he. But il' we thought ahout
