Sophomores arrived, and after a fierce struggle for a few minutes, succeeded in tearing down the May-pole. Freshmen and Juniors rallied to the 'oo colors, which by overpowering numbers and a series of foot races were saved from the clutches of'99. Shortly after this Jimmy Green's boys, who were aching to join the fight were given a few minutes for play during which time they made a big noise and general scattering of the Arts students—their idea of fun. To their credit let it be said, when Prof. Green called them to class, they were all ready to go, and so the fun ended, with no harm done, and no one seriously hurt.
H. E. Davies leaves for Chicago.
Thursday afternoon Mr. H. E. Davies left Lawrence for Chicago having completed a course of study in the University sufficient to entitle him to the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Pharmaceutical Chemist. He goes to Chicago University to take a special course in Bacteriology which is offered there in the summer school and in the fall expects to enter the Medical school of the University of Pennsylvania. His chances for securing a fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania are most excellent as he has been highly recommended by Chancellor Snow and the professors under whom he has taken work.
Since his entrance into the University one year ago last fall Mr. Davies has done three year's work. He is an indefatigible worker and is sure to meet with success in his chosen profession.
The Pi Phi Party.
The thirteenth anniversary of the founding of Pi Beta Phi was celebrated by the young ladies of Kansas Alpha chapter on Friday night April 23rd. Over two hundred invitations were issued and almost that number of guests were received by Miss Lucinda Smith representing the Alumnae chapter, Miss Harriet Ayres of the active chapter and Prof. and Mrs. J.W. Green. No bunting was used in decorating but in its place was a profusion of palms and flowers. Ices were served from a
booth in the gallery. The music was furnished by Steinberg's orchestra of Topeka and was excellent.
The list of out of town guests was a long one and was as follows:

School of Fine Arts.
There will be a recital next Wednesday at 4 P.M.
Invitations are out for the first graduating recital to be given by Miss Gertrude Spaulding Mr. D. Eaton of Kansas City, will assist her.
The composition class especially enjoyed the concert by the Buch Quintette on account of having recently studied orchestration.
The seniors held two meetings last week to make arrangements for the recitals. It was decided to have invitations presented at the door. This will be the rule at each recital. It was recommended that the class have plain decorations for the recitals on account of past experiences of labor it has taken in trying to make Music Hall different from what the bare hall is.
