UNIVERSITY COURIER.
A select party given on the evening of the 26th by the K. A. T. Sorosis, at the home of Miss Nellie Griswold, was one of the most elaborate parties given in Lawrence. A most elegant banquet was set before their friends, consisting of the richest viands that could tickle the palates of the decipies of Epicurius. The gentlemen, one and all, pronounced it one of the triumphs of culinary art.
Providence is treating Prof. Canfield's household very harshly at the present time. Little Jimmie has been seriously ill during the past week, while Mr. Chalice, Mr. Rockwell, and Mr. Krebbs all went home sick last Wednesday.
On the evening of Friday the 24th ult. a reception was tendered the I. C. Sorosis by the members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. After the banquet came the following toasts: Mr. Little, "Welcoming address;" Mr. Douglas, "The girls we left behind us;" Mr. Humphry, "Twenty years from now;" Mr. Thompson, "The I. C.'s." Miss Cara Fellows made an admirable response. We regret that space does not permit us to give a detailed account of the entertainment.
Prof. Williams spent a portion of his Thanksgiving vacation in attendance upon the Mitchell County Teachers' Association at Beloit. Whenever there is a gathering of teachers our Normal Dean will not be found idle.
"Where do you meet? I believe I'll attend some evening and if I like your society I guess I'll join you," was the astounding question put to a fraternity man by an outsider one day last week. And when a cruel bystander suggested that he must be invited, the barb asked, "Where must I go to get an invitation?"
Thanksgiving day was spent by some dozen of the boys in a game of "hare and hound." west of the city.
Prof. Gleed spent Saturday in Kansas City and Sunday in Topeka.

W. C. Spangler, 783, took the evening train for Topeka on Friday the 17th. Some say he did not get off until he reached Beloit. Mistake perhaps.
