Beta Anniversary.
One of the most enjoyable events of the season was the party given by the young gentlemen of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity last Friday evening at their elegant hall in the Opera House block. It was the occasion of their seventeenth anniversary. Some indulged in cardplaying and conversation while others tripped the
light fantastic toe to the sweet strains of the Riverside Mandolin Club. At a late hour the company repaired to "Delmonico" where an elegant banquet was awaiting them. Dainty souvenirs were placed at the plate of each guest. Those present were: Misses Barker, Love, Webster, Dailey, Bartell, Morris, Johnston, Howe, Scott, Sutliff, McKinnon, Manley, Levy, Fullerton, Crotty, Webber, Springer, Mitchler, Henshaw, Hadley, Miller, Maxwell, Hayes, Merrill, Howland, Hattie Cook, of Kansas City, and Miss McGowan, of Fredonia; Messrs. Watson, Cook, Beebe, Frank Reed, Davis, Pickering, Jacobs, McKinnon, Fullerton, Merrill, Simpson, Finch, Barnes, Brown, Smith, Bear, Buckingham, Morris, Ellison, Caywood, Hauk, of Hutchinson, and W. T. Reed, of Newton.
The Faculty committee on arbitration of the oratorical difficulty, rendered a final decision last Friday. This decision is conceded by all to be a just and equitable one and the members of the committee—Profs. J. H. Canfield and A. R. Marsh—deserve the thanks of all for the impartial manner in which they treated both sides. And especially do they deserve the thanks of all in thus taking upon themselves the trouble and worry of settling a question whose solution seriously threatened the peace of our University.
Misses Mamie and Helen Simpson very pleasantly entertained their Kappa Alpha Theta sisters Saturday afternoon. Those present were Mrs. Prof. MacDonald, Misses Monroe, Chapman, Walker, Dailey, Mushruh, Merrill, Mullay Haskell, Reasoner, McMillan, Benedict, Webster, Babcock, Bartell, Mamie Simpson, Helen Simpson, Florence Beck, of Topeka, and Hattie Cook, of Kansas City.
An electric light lamp was placed on the corner of Massachusetts and Lee Streets the other day. The young ladies who live in that vacinity are very indignant, as the lamp is very detrimental to quiet "teate-atete's" in the hammock on summer evenings.
Gussie Price will receive a visit from Miss Carrie House, Omaha,Neb., the latter part of the month.
One of the most enjoyable pleasure excursions of the year was that given by Mr. E. D. Davis, General Manager E., L, & S. W. to a party of his friends on Monday last. The party, consisting of sixteen, left at 9:00 A. M. and after a four hours trip, during which time they disported themselves by riding on the cow-catcher and in the engine, arrived at Lawrence's most famous suburb Carbondale. After viewing the many beauties of the town and visiting some of the most noted mineral springs, the party left for home. Owing to the obstruction of one of the young ladies' hats, which was imprudently dropped from her position on the cow-catcher, a delay of about four hours was occasioned, the party not arriving at Lawrence until about 9:30, p. m. The party consisted of Misses Sue and Eva Miles, Southard, Lyda Griffith, Belle Roberts, Blanche Webber; Messrs. Otis, Lewis, Fox, Hogeboom, Miles and Davis.
Miss Anna Barker entertained in her usual happy manner a few of her friends at a seven o'clock tea Friday evening. Those invited were: Misses White, Penfield, Lyons, Love, Webber, Lou Barker; Messrs. Brewster, Armstrong, Shellabarger, Edson, Snow, Knowlten, Chas. Spencer, and Bert Spencer.
W. Y. Morgan attended the Phi Gamm hop Saturday night.
We publish in another volume a list of preachers in the Cornell University chapel for the year. Such an array of pulpit talent has probably never before or elsewhere been gotten together. Prof. Little is a comparatively new man, but his fame is spreading rapidly. Dr. Twichell is Mark Twain's pastor, who has been accused by the great humorist of spoiling the Sunday service for him as a time for composition. Prof. Coddington has probably refused more calls than any living preacher. Dr. Armitage is one of the Fifth Avenue constellation. Dr. Munger is a great scholar and philosopher. Prof. Rice is one of the most fluent and gifted speakers in the country. Robert Collyer is a man of large heart and wonderful oratory. Dr. Rainsford is the $10,000 Democratic Canadian who is now such an aggressive force in New York religious life. Edward Everett Hale everybody knows. What a treat the Cornell students are having. Would that we might have something of the kind! Of course we can't have such a splendid list of preachers, we'd have to go too far for them, and they would cost too much money. But the cities of our state, and Kansas City and Omaha, contain a dozen or more preachers of great ability and reputation, men of fine scholarship, deep religious feeling and great eloquence, whom we all want, to hear, and whom it would do us all good to hear. And it would probably not be very hard to induce them to come and preach to the University. They would be sure of a large audience in University hall. The opportunity for usefulness and influence would certainly be attractive to them. There are very few ministers who would not gladly accept an invitation to address a body of five hundred students. We should probably have to pay only their traveling expenses. Another advantage, too, of such meetings would be in the opportunity thus offered of gathering all together occasionally, a thing almost unknown now, and the feeling of solidarity as well as exhilaration that would come therefrom. It would unite us more, and perhaps even result in fewer squabbles. It would encourage college music too, for it would, no doubt, lead to the formation of a college choir, a thing sadly needed.
