Last Thursday Prof. Carruth, on account of circumstances which prevented his meeting his advanced class in German which meets in one of the Library seminary rooms, made arrangements to have the class go on with its work as usual. The librarians it seems could not understand how a class could be autonomous. But the class evinced their self governing ability
by fearlessly proceeding with their work in the usual way. The result was two very much bewildered librarians and a very much amused class.
The Kappa Theatre Party.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity entertained their friends of the other fraternities in a novel manner last Saturday night. With the assistance of a young man from each of the young men's fraternities they presented a laughable farce comedy entitled "Chance" at Bowersock's Opera House. The opera house was decorated with the colors of the fraternity, and presented a very pleasing appearance. The guests were met at the door by the young ladies of the fraternity, escorted to seats, and provided with neat souvenir programs. The play was given under the direction of Miss Georgia Brown, those taking part acquitting themselves very creditably. Misses Jean Bowersock and Virginia McCrory furnished excellent violin music and Miss Abbie Noyes piano.
