After a splendid course dinner, Coach J. P. Hagerman, as toast master, called upon the Chancellor for a short speech. He responded with a splendid tribute to the team and the coaches. The Chancellor was followed by Prof. E. M. Hopkins the coach of the first football team at the university, who told many interesting stories of early days in football. Prof. Hopkins was followed by W. C. Lansdon who told of the many troubles of a manager. "Uncle Jimmy" Green and members of the team responded to toasts.

ANNUAL BANQUET
250 ENGINEERS PRESENT AT DINNER.
Many Interesting Speakers.— Professor Cady Makes Hit as Toastmaster.
At exactly 2:30 o'clock this morning, the engineers ended their eighth annual banquet by singing the time honored engineer song and "rambled" down the hill waking everybody up with their "Hyperbolic, Parabaloid." It was a most successful banquet from start to finish, the most successful of its kind ever held at the University. It began early and ended early in the morning.
Two hundred and fifty strong the engineers gathered in the gym and whiled away the time by singing 'Varsity songs as a preliminary for the big things that were to come. At nine o'clock the hungry bunch filed into the banquet room where covers were laid for exactly 250.
Then for three hours they ate and ate. Between courses the different classes made life miserable for their "profs" by yelling gentle roasts in the form of limericks about them. Physics 7, Chemistry 2, and "Sunny Jim" came in for their usual share of the fun.
Then came the speaking. Prof. H. P. Cady as toastmaster made the hit of the evening with his witty introductions and genial good humor. He proved to be a story teller of the first order and rose to every occasion with some bright response.
Dean Marvin gave the first toast, "The New Engineering Building," a short description of not the engineering building but the engineering school that is to be. He was followed by J.M.Meade of the Santa Fe who spoke on "The Railroad Engineer" and told several stories of practical engineering life.
Prof. P. F. Walker of the Mechanical Engineering department then made a plea for a more careful and systematic training in the professional schools, his subject being "Graduate Work." Professor Freeman, the next speaker, emphasized the importance of doing thorough work in the professional schools. R. G. Cole made a very witty response for the freshman class and was followed by R. C. March, who spoke for the sophomores.
One of the most eloquent toasts of the evening was that given by Prof. C. M. Young, who spoke on "The Engineer and the Day's Work." Then came two speakers, both practical engineers and both graduates of the University, G. J. Graves
of the Santa Fe, who responded to the toast "What's Ahead," and L. E. Mason of Lawrence, who spoke on the business side of telephoning. Professor Hoad gave a short talk urging more careful and general reading by the engineers.
Carl Pleasant, the retiring president of the engineers, then told of the troubles of a president and was followed by Carl Ball, the new president, who spoke on "School Spirit."
