THE HESPERIAN had dropped out leaving Seargcant Reagan with first honors and Corporal Hyde second. The judges gave the honors to the companies in the following order: D, C, B, A. The various companies banqueted in the evening, forgetting the balks each had made during the afternoon. Company D demon strated their ability to keep the whole town awake till morning, the particulars of which can bo found in the more racy write-up in the columns of the daily papers. Deliaa's Banquet. The Delians advertised a "Senior Love Feast" for Friday night, and Buch it proved to be. Seniors were roaeted, toasted, tossed, (except ladies), and in every other way pos sible, made to realize their importance. But they took it all, (because they had to), and vowed that to be a senior on such a night was well worth the four years work. The first part of the 'Feast"" consisted in the pathetic testimonies of the guileless Juniors, Sophs and Freshies who told "how much the Seniors would be missed,-" how much loss the society would suffer,11 and then shed a few crocodile tears and "think of the vacant chairs that could never be filled,11 etc, All of which the Seniors listened to with one eye shut. After the testimony meeting, the society adjourned to a banquet at Sutton & HollowbusVs. The following toasts wore responded to: Our Alumni Mr. Thayer, Our Friends, the Palladiuns Mr. Elmore, Onr Friends, the Unions Mr. Saville, Phi Beta Kappa Miss Hopper, the new Regime Mr. Peterson, to the new President Mies Countryman Response, O. H. Allen. A Farwell Reception. Saturday evening, May 23, the members of Prof. Wilsons student Bible class gave him a farwell reception at his home. The Professor was taken completely hy surprise, and a delightful social evening followed. A short musical program was given by Misses Elmore and Countryman. A paper prepared by Mise Hopper was road -which gave the history of the class and expressed the grati tude of the class to Prof. Wilson for his untiring efforts in its behalf. Prof. Wilson responded very appropriately, Mrs. Wilson joining with him in an invitation for the members of the class to call on them in their new homo in Chicago. Late in the evening refreshments were served, and some very unique puzzles, which received the name of an examination in the work gone over by the class, made the time pass merrily. Prof. Wilson will be missed by the students in this class, and it is a question who can fill his place. Those present were; Misses Hopper, Oara, Quaintance, Post, Mumau, Elmore, Countryman, Sherzer, and Walwood, and Messrs. Theobald, Kring, Lovelang, Allen, Stolz, Robertson, Elmore, Hunting, and Kinton. Farewell. Now, of all my four years1 course, only a few days of school are left to me. My friends keep saying how nice it is that I am so nearly through, and how glad I must be. They mean It klndty; they are in terested and appreciative. But if they only know the truth! After 1 have spent the happiest years of iny life at the University, how can I be gJad to go away? Here 1 learned the joy of study, the happiness of friendship, the dignity of Jiving. All of ray dearest friends are here, all the people who have come the closest to my own life. I must leave all these, leave the libraries and laboratories, leave everything connected with the University. But it must be so. I have had such a pleasant course, and will always have the most pleasant memories .of ray University life. Tho friends that I value so highly will soon be scattered. We shall all be sepa rated, but I am sure many of these friend ships are mo strong and true that they can not be broken hy time nor distance. A Senior.
