THE BANQUET.
The Seniors celebration attracted a
large crowd. In the remarkably humorous
and witty speeches Of tins very agreeaple
entertainment these Young gentlemen
showed in a different line the ability dis
PLAYED in their graver speeches IN the
morning with the same provoking lowncss
of voice and indistinctness on the part OF
some that made it impossible for the larger
part of the audience to hear what they
said.
The banquet 10 the Seniors given by the
trustees closed the proceedings of the day
and extended them far into the night. The
delightful refreshments and all the ap-
pointmonts reflected great credit upon the
ladies Of College Hill who assisted IN the
preparations, and it was greatly enjoyed
by the students and visitors and everybody
that was there.
