LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 27, 1888.
Last Saturday a picnic was held at "Blue Mountain" in honor of W. H. Brown who leaves soon for Washington, D. C. The party was made up of the Misses Crotty and Misses Franklin, Rudolph and Taggart; and Messrs. Brown, V. L. Kellogg, W. S. and E. C. Franklin and Whitman.
The base ball games with the Doughnuts and the Washburnites may be postponed, but the soap brush and perfume sale at Hoadley & Smith's is never postponed. They have as fine a line of toilet articles, brushes, etc., as can be found in Lawrence. Call and see them at the Eldridge House Pharmacy.
PI BETA PHI BANQUET.
PI BETA PHI BANQUET. Kansas Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi, better known as I. C. Sorosis, gave its gentleman friends and alumnae members a sumptuous banquet on the evening of April 19. The occasion served to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the founding of the chapter and witnessed the gathering of about 125 ladies and gentlemen including the initiates to the Sorosis since its founding, who reside in Lawrence and vicinity, besides several members from a distance.
NO. 32.
The occasion was something of a departure from the usual mode of entertainment offered by fraternities in K. S. U., and so successful and elegant was it in all its details that we are sorry that we must be confined to so limited a space in its description.
After an hour or two spent in renewing old acquaintances, and general conversation, the company was ushered to the banquet. Although we would not attempt to describe what there met the eyes of the happy guests, mention must not fail to be made of the beautiful floraldecorations arranged in the form of a pyramid on the center main table; and of the emblematic "Arrow," above the head of the table, decorated with silver blue, and dregs of wine ribbons representing the colors of the Sorosis.
An appropriate invocation was pronounced by Dr. Marvin, after which came the repast, such as the I. C's know how to plan for such an occasion. An address was then given by Miss Hannah Oliver in which she gave a brief historical sketch of the Chapter and very happily welcomed the visiting alumnae and all outside guests. Dr. Lippincott responded to the address. It had been thirty years since he was a student in college, but he could appreciate such occasions still, and heartily assured the ladies of his friendly feeling for them and their Chapter. Then came the toasts, of which the following is a synopsis:
The next was a spirited talk about "The Faculty" by Miss Lyle Hynes. Miss Hynes declared her inability to address the respected and honored faculty, and in the light of strange rumors of the proceedings in faculty meetings was almost at a loss to know how to entertain them.
Mrs. Carrie Sterling toasted "Our Guests." There had been a general welcome extended to the alumnae and their friends, but she took occasion to welcome, in particular, the outside guests, i.e., the faculty and other friends of the fraternity.
A. G. Hager closed some interesting remarks on "Journalism" with an outline of the duties and work of a
"The Candidates" was given by J. W. Roberts. He spoke of candidates in general, then drew attention to the particular candidates the subject of his toast.
Dr. Wilcox made the "after dinner" speech of the evening; subof toast, "The Fraternities." His "extemporaneous" speech sparkled with wit and abounded with wisdom. He had come with special instructions from the faculty to state that they particularly enjoyed I. C. banquets. He closed with a few remarks addressed to all the fraternities in which he gave them good advice regarding their "missionary work."
journalist, and the wish that more ladies might enter the journalistic field.
V. L. Kellogg was unable to be present with his toast, "University Poets," and Otis Holmes appeared as a substitute almost without notice. He had obtained proof sheets of a new book of poems, and read a few samples which were loudly applauded at the expense of Profs. Carruth and Blake, Dr. Lippincott, and Miss Gertrude Crotty.
Prof. Curruth's witty remarks on the "Alumna" were much enjoyed by all. Since the day when he had climbed Mt. Oread as a student, and was greeted by one of the I. C. sisters, "How do doo, bubby!" to the present time he had looked up to the I. C's; whom he had found could be grave and dignified students taking off honors in analytical geometry, etc., and at the same time could be happy and lively entertainers.
Walter Davis showed in "College Friendship" that friendship does not develop well with ignorance and illiteracy, but that the college offers the best conditions for its growth. The associations of college days and the memory of such occasions as the present are important factors in determining life friendships.
W. Y. Morgan toasted the L.C. sisters, in which he proved beyond question that they were little short of angels, and with this belief fully impressed upon them the guests took their departure at a late hour, many, undoubtedly, feeling that they had never enjoived a better time.
The following is a complete list of those who were present:
Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Chancellor and Mrs. Lippincott, Prof. Snow, Prof. and Mrs. Miller, Prof. and Mrs. Curtuth, Prof. and Mrs. Aldrich, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Woodard-Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt-meyer, Mr. and Mrs. Little, Mr. and Mrs. Leesur-Mr. and Mrs. Spangler, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Glbb, Mrs. Sterling, Misses Rudolph, Watson, Parker, Marche, Oliver, Marvin, Sultil, Jennifer Holle, Sullivan, Joe Marte Gertle and Mary Green, Mary and Lida Griffith, Griffin, Hynes, Lyle Hynes, Horton, Miller, Beard, Alice Pendel, Manley, Cockins, Roberts, Lyons, Glmore, Harrison, Brown, Buckingham, Snow, Scott, White, Webber, Uchardson, Tisdale, King, Newlin, Buzzel, Jones, Horn, Nelloy Dove, of Olathe, or Moteide, of Kansas City, Bay Schutz.

L. W. Harrington lost a part of his thumb in the ball game on Tuesday.
Prof. Summerfield went west on Tuesday to be gone several days.
The Seniors who did not get places on the commencement program, have struck, and refuse to help bear the expenses. This leaves the burden to be borne by six members.
As we predicted, the picture of the Juniors was a failure and French made another attempt Tuesday. He says he will give them three fair trials and no more.
The Juniors are to have an examination at the close of the year. Heretofore no examinations have been given until the end of the course, when they all come in a heap.
The laws are to have diplomas from this year on, gotten up especially for the law department of K. S. U. Before, they have received the same diploma as the collegiates, inserting "law course."
Orophilian
On last Friday Orophilian Literary Society presented an unusually fine program. In spite of the many attractions offered at the ball and tennis grounds there was a good attendance. After the usual program had been rendered, Prof. A. R. Marsh delivered an interesting lecture upon "Literary Societies at Harvard." The Professor contrasted the work and organization of Harvard societies with those of the University, and showed that our societies had not reached the Harvard standard. While this comparison was unfavorable to our societies, yet a knowledge of the workings of eastern societies cannot be but beneficial to us. The society is very grateful to the Professor for the many new ideas gathered from his lecture and believes that the students will be greatly encouraged to do better work.
