THE HESPERIAN
13
"W. F. Oramb, who wns in the law school
last year, was married at Fairbury during
the holidays. Mr. Cramb was admitted to
the bar some months ago, and is working up
a largo practice at Fairbury. His many
friends wish him success in his legal and
matrimonial careers.
Miss Amy Brunor left for her homo Tues
day, Feb. 5, to bo present at the marriage of
her sister, Miss Ella Brunor, to Mr. DeB.ell
of Rose Bud Agency, South Dakota. The
wedding took place at the home of the bride's
father, in We3t Point, Wednesday, Febru
ary 0. Many friends of the bride, who, two
years ago was one of us, will join The Hes
perian in best wishes.
Friday eventng, Feb. 1, the Palladians
and Delians went skating. The Union
didn't, except one or two. The loyal
Unions gave one of the best literary pro
grams of the year, to ono of the best of au
diences. Papers by Miss Prey and Messrs.
Nowbranch and Alexander, a piano solo by
Miss Triplett, and a vocal solo by Mr. Cam
eron, were among the attractions.
Oh, shade of. Robert Browning! Is it not
enough that every literary upstart should
pervert the meaning of your soul rending
verse? It seems not, for hero comes our
most worthy contemporary with the ear
splitting, heart-breaking statement that the
Browning class read "Tonnia" and
"Olambo's Birthday" last semester. It is
too bad Colonel, but please, oh, please
don't lot it happen again!
Tho Union-Maxwell contest came oil'
Saturday, Jan. 20, with plenty of enthusi
asm on both sides. Mr. Newbranch was
unable to appear, but his place war, filled, at
tho last moment, by Mr. Clint Barr, who
always does things at the last moment. Tho
feet of the Maxwells arose with tho enthusi
asm, until tho table creaked beneath tho
weight of their understanding. It was a
time long to bo romembered.
Friday evening, Feb. 1, Lansing Hall
was tho scono of ono of tho ploasantest Uni
versity gatherings of tho year. Tho occa
sion was the ball given by tho crack com
pany of tho University, Company UB."
Each dance was named after some past or
present officer of the company, and Prof.
Irvine's orchestra rendered tho music-in its
usual pleasing manner. About one hundred
and fifty wore in attendance, and tho boys
may feel flattered with their success as en
tertainers. As a fitting celebration of tho fleeting time
between tho semesters. Miss Margaret Hall
entertained a few friends at her home on
Sixteenth street, Saturday evening, Feb. 2.
Taffy-pulling was the chief amusement, and
so generous were tho young ladies with
samples that the spirits of one of the gentlo
jnen are said to have been dampened for
soveral dajTs by a perpetual taste of "sweet
ness long drawn out." Miss Hall is ah ex
cellent hostess, and all present declare they
passed a most enjoyable. eveniug.
After examination the following epitaph
was found over the ruins of the class in Ver
tebrate Histology:
O say, can you see
By the dawn's early light,
How our papers now look,
. That we left here last night?
I've looked far and near,
But the things won't look right ;
And our marks, now I fear,
Are away out of sight.
But the time is a coming
That'll surely be good,
When we'll have no exams,
So the Profs., can saw wood.
Westorfield's is tho best barber shop in
tho city.
Dr. O. F. Lambortson, tho dentist, makes
special rates to students. 1203 O steeot.
