Independent Banquet.
Friday night of last week will long be remembered by the Independents of our University. Not so much because of the pleasant time many of them spent at the banquet and ball in Fraternal Aid hall, but because this event marks the close of a very successfully conducted series of parties inaugurated this year among the hitherto supposed unsocial independents. The event was in every way a decided success, and reflects credit upon the members of the committee who have so untiringly devoted many days to its preparation.
The hall was tastefully decorated with streamers of yellow and blue, draped and twined in artistic and pleasing style high above the spread of large white tables. Tapestries, portiers, rugs, and hangings, together with restful furniture, served to make the balconies and the stage quite homelike. Flowers and plants aided in the effort to make the scene one of pleasure.
Promptly at 9 o'clock, thirty-nine couples took their places at the table and partook of the banquet served in five elegant courses by Wiedemann, in his best style and taste. Through the dreamy mazes of Saunder's best music could be heard ripples of laughter and the broken hum of conversation as the feast progressed, and while all lingered over the last course, the toast master, Mr. Win, J. Krebblief, arose and announced the first toaster, Mr. Charles H. Lease, who then spoke on "The Faculty," in his pleasing style, referring to the "red card" token of the love the faculty bore to the students.
On behalf of the faculty Professor A. G. Canfield responded to Mr. Lease, thankening him for his generous estimate of the faculty and then recounting in his forcible manner, the historic achievements of his fellow professors. Mr. A. A. Besey next tasted "The Barb Girls" those ladies who, having thoughts beyond present pleasure, are willing to speed years to acquire a University education. Miss Nina Bowman as a "barb" girl responded to the toast, remarking that but for the example of the generous "barb" boys, they could not so well emulate their barbarian sisters of old, in striving amidst perplexities for the advancement of humanity, instead of the enjoyment of self.
As this ended the program of toasts the party withdrew to the balconies and the stage, while attendants quickly cleared the floors for the dancers who merrily enjoyed the program of fifteen numbers, and then went out into the night with cord recollections of the last independent party of the season.
A Fossil Rhinoceros.
Two years ago the late Judge West and Mr. Overton collected two or three tertiary fossil bones and shipped them to the University. From these bones a complete skeleton of a hornless rhinoceros has been obtained. The skeleton is now being mounted by Mr. Overton and will be placed in the geological museum before next September. It is about five feet high and seven feet long—about as large as the largest rhinoceros of the present day. Rhinoceros skeletons of the tertiary period are very rare and consequently of great value. In fact this specimen is the first of its kind to be mounted. In the tertiary period when the animals held sway on the face of the earth, numerous rhinoceros roamed over the country which is now our sunny Kansas.
Socrates was fond of playing with children and was often seen busy with them at their games.
