later:

The alumni banquet yesterday was q
great success. Never in the history of In
diana University was there such a large at
tendance of alumni and friends. Two of
the class of 1889 were present. and nan of
the classes were represented by large dele
cations, the members of which were en-
thusiastic over the grand work of the insti-
tuition. The banquet, or dinner. is a feature
of the past few years, and gives a n excel
lent opportunity to exchange pleasant
memories and enjoy q splendid feast, such
as was served to-day. One hundred and
