SOCIETY.
About twenty couples spent a very pleasant evening at the Beta house Friday.
The Phi Delts gave their annual alumni banquet at their chapter house Saturday evening. Adout thirty-five alumni from out-of-town were present.
Theta Nu Epsilon held its annual spring party, Friday evening, March 11, at Eldridge Hall. Zeiler's orchestra of six pieces furnished unusually good music and everything conspired to make it one of the pleasantest parties of the season. At eleven o'clock the dancers repaired to the hotel dining room where an elaborate six course banquet was served. The tables which crossed forming four wings were artistically decorated in smilax and terns. After the banquet dancing was again resumed until a late hour. Before the party Joe Dyer, Fritz Wulfekuhler and Ray Delano were initiated into the mysteries of T. N.E. A number of alumni were back to help celebrate the occasion, which was a delightful one in every respect.

JACOB RIIS LECTURE.
Continued from page 1. passed compelling house owners to make their buildings fit to live in; the establishing of playgrounds for the children, where they could take healthful recreation; the building of parks where all the people could go for enjoyment of a social nature.
It is the children of these districts that most appeal to Mr. Riis and the thought that they are being placed in a position to become good citizens is a matter of gratification to him. In speaking of the Boys' Clubs, he said: "My experience was a police reporter for twenty-five years leads me to believe that one boy's club does more good among these children than one hundred policemen's clubs."
The introduction of good public schools fitted out with healthy play grounds is one of the chief factors in making good citizens out of the young children of the slum districts.
"This work is more than a duty," said Mr. Riis, "for it is in their hands of that our government in future is to be placed."

ROSEMARY.
Play to be Given by K. U. Dra-
matic Club
Something was said in the last issue of the Weekly about Julia Marlowe's opinion on college dramatics. We fully agree and plead with her for better and more classical plays.
Our University Dramatic Club will present its next play, "Rosemary," March 24th. And though it is not exactly a classical play, it is of such a high literary value, that it has received the recommendation of such men as Prof. Richard Burton of the English Department of the University of Minnesota. Mr. Burton says of "Rosemary" that it is one of the best plays that could be selected for college dramatics.
The authors of "Rosemary" are Murray Carson and Louis N. Parker, who has since adapted L'Aiglon into English for Maude Adams.
The play will be more expensive than previous productions as Daniel Frohman holds the exclusive rights to the play which exists only in manuscript copy. The royalty for a one night production is $50,which must be guaranteed with ten per cent of the proceeds.
The plot of the play is laid in London and its suburbs at the time of Queen Victoria's coronation in 1837.
"Rosemary" was presented for the first time at the Empire theater at New York City, Aug. 31, 1896, when John Drew, Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore, and Mrs Annie Adams were in the principal roles.
Isabel Irving who is to present the "Crisis" here next week on March 16, was starring with Ottes Skinner in "Rosemary" in the seasons of 1901 and 1902.
