I'coratcd Uistofully will
flowers, palms, ami university
colors. The program was opened
by a piano solo by Mr. Kimball of
tho university conservatoiy. Mr.
Leavitt of the class of '00 was the
orator of the evening. Mr. Leavitt
spoke upon "A Few Principles of
Progress." His central thought
was that happiness is tno result ot
obedience to divine laws and pro
gress is the result of happiness.
Tho oration was avoII writton
and the speaker showed a little om
lmrasstnent but held the attention
of the audience.
The second oration, "Tho War in
tho East," was delivered by Jasper
Hunt. The speaker described in a
brief and interesting manner tho
war between China and Japan.
Mr. Hunt's delivery was avoII ad
apted to his subject but his manu
script was not so much of an ora
tion as was that of the first speaker.
Miss Clara Spencer favored tho
audience with a vocal solo.
Miss Flora Bullock spoko on
"Tho New West." I lor delivery
was smooth, unaffected and very
effective. Tho nnnuseript was very
well written. Miss Bullock dis
cussed the importance of tho word
"West" in history and dwelt at
length on influence of the United
Slates and especially upon "Tho
Now West." She showed what a
powerful factor this great west is
m moulding American character.
Mrs.IIarret Blair Ward delighted
tho audience with a vocal solo which
was heartily encored.
Miss Leonard delivered an able
oration on "Present and Future."
She was somewhat confuse 1 for a
moment by being prompted too
hastily. Tho speaker dwelt upon
the unsatisfactory conditions of the
present and pointed out the way for
improving. She showed that tho
future would be well if we all work
in the right direction.

"I'm Cadets' March" of his own
composition and dedicated to the
cadets of the University of Nebras

usual delay the decision was an
nounced, Miss Bullock received
first and Mr. Leavitt second place.

Then "Como, my Uttlo Mascotto," ho

"Ilore's a monstrous pilo of essays to

Then ho pourod rod ink in a platter

Leaving its tracks in rod ink and a blot

For in all Amorikor's history such a

Of correcting collcgo ossuys by moans
