Hesper THE DOPE ON 1 HE DEGREE DIGNITARIES It is no small task to trace llie history of the class which furnishes the principal stars in that momentous event — the conferring of degrees upon the first Senior college class to be graduated from ' P.

Miss Delilah Dinglehopper and the right Honorable Chauncer C. Chewthe Chalk. In the following paragraphs we present the four most authoritative pieces of data.
