The Banquet. It falls to the lot of 4'The Shinglei' to men- tion the annual Law Alumni banquet, and not yet being an alumnus, f'The Shingle has not the power to speak from experience. . But it has dreamed land are not banquets the stuff of which dreams are made?j of a banquet. Allow it to speak of that prophesying vision 5 one which needs no Joseph to interpret. - This dream carrie as all good dreams come -in the early waking hours. An hour of all the hours 'twixt the dawn of day and the one wherein the morning star shines thc brightest. Spreading away down a bril- liantly lighted hall was a festive board, at which sat half a thousand men. For once there had come together, if only in a passing dream, all who had gone out forever from the class-rooms. At the upper end of the room, near the Dean, sat the earlier classes. Here many of the heads were gray. At the foot, near The Shingle, it recognized the more familiar faces of the graduates of 1900. Here and there where each class was grouped were a few of the weaker sex, but all were there. At the head of the board sat the Dean, and though far from The Shingle, it could sec an appreciative twinkle in his eye as he noted what each speaker said. How with quick perception he remarked how each had grown in eloquence, matured in reason, or expanded in wit. And the feast! 'Twas a double feast. The memo of the one contained the best of the viands 'the productive soil of a great State could provide, augmented by special dainties from every quarter of the globe, the mcmu of the second was Reason, Humor, and Poetry dished up with Eloquence, and served by Good Cheer and Fellowship. . As The Shingle? well fed a.nd comfort- able, listened, 'heard the words of others, ones to whose voices the worldtwould now listen if they but spoke for it, it wished that it, too, could be alive, to move and breathe, and with that breath to talk.. as 'those men were talk- ing. And as .it mused and thought of itself in a human form,:erect and manly, speaking, not with cold and- ugly print, but with the fire of a human vo-ice, as a dream within a drea.m, come to grant its wish, there stood such a one, dim and faint through a halo of his own glory, but with a face the compose ite of the Olds-S of 1900. But here The Shinglev awoke, and the in- terpretation of its vision we leave to you. P67-
