Give us a call. The Dellan Removal. Ever sinco its organization the Delian society has held its meetings in the chapel. This has been the greatest obstacle in the way of its growth and success. The sta tionary seats an impediment to the social part of tho meetings and the size of the room standing in tho way of the literary part, it was difficult to get either new mem bers or visitors. For this reason tho society has not always had largo audiences, and within tho last year, some of its members hopeless of over getting a hall adapted to society work, have resigned. Yet to say that tho society has not been successful from the first is to bo far from tho truth. For tho very struggle under such discouraging circumstances for existence and recognition in the University furnished the best kind of draining for its members. So that it numbers among its alumni somo of tho best men and women yet graduated from tho University. The fact that the Dolians have lived and prospered under surroundings that have witnessed the deaths of two less distinctively literary organizations, testifies to tho determination of thoso who mako up tho membership of tho open societies. During the changes incident to tho com pletion of tho now library building, tho Dolians obtained from tho room committee of the faculty permission to fit up room 11 of tho old library for society purposos. They took possession of this now hall Friday even ing, January 10th. To givo moro dignity to tho occasion tho oxercises woro conducted by alumni. Tho house was called to ordor by Presi dent Mary Home who introduced E. R. Holmes as tho presiding ollicor for tho evening. (Mr. Holmes was chairman of tho meeting that organized tho society in 1889.) Ho opened tho program with an historical sketch of tho Dolians which re counted tho events loading up to their or ganization Tho papor was ably prepared and formed a valuablo bit of contemporaneous history as it gives tho whorcabouts and occu pations of tho charter members.
