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.
