One of the pleasantest events of last week was the party given by the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity on Wednesday evening. The gentleman of the fraternity, with their lady friends, assembled at the chapter halls and spent the evening in social enjoyment. The Mandolin Club discoursed sweet strains of music for those who chose to dance; and at the proper time Stater appeared with refreshments. At a late hour, after exchanging many hearty wishes for a pleasant Thanksgiving, the merry company separated.

MacDonald-Haskell.
On Thanksgiving evening Plymouth church was crowded with people, who had assembled for the purpose of witnessing the marriage ceremonies of Prof. William MacDonald, the dean of the music department, and Miss Hattie Haskell, daughter of Captain J. G. Haskell and niece of the late Hon. D. C. Haskell. The members of Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity, of which the bride was a member, had decorated the large pulpit with flowers. Professor Marvin rendered a beautiful march on the large organ of the church as
the couple came into and went out of the church.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. MacDonald, father of the groom, and Richard Cordley, D. D., the pastor of Plymouth church. After the ceremony a large number of invited guests drove to the residence of the bride's father in the southeast part of the city, where the wedding reception was held. Temporary rooms had been added to the already spacious residence of Capt. Haskell. The house was tastefully decorated with flowers, and no pains had been spared to make the occasion a most brilliant and enjoyable one. P. MacDonald is known all over the State as a competent and thorough instructor, and by the efforts which he has put forth in the few years he has been here his department is able to take a very important place in departments of the University. The bride graduated from the University in $^{86}$, and has since spent a year at Wellesley College.
