scene softened by the crescent moonlight.
It was a splendid, impressive spectacle.
Nature and art conspired to produce an
almost unparalleled effect. The prone
nades at Yale, Harvard and Pennsylvania
are all that wealth can make them and are
deservedly famous in the social and col
legiate sphere of the East, but it is safe to
say that no Institution in the land is 50
favorabiy situated in regard to buildings
and their adaptability for such purposes as
Stanford University. The affair, unique
and original in every detail, could not be
surpassed anywhere.
The hospitalities of the evening devolved
upon the several sororities and girls socie-
ties. The different organizations occupied
as many sections of the quadrangle, which
they transformed into veritable bowers of
beauty, lavishly employing evergreens,
bunting, flowers, lounges, draperies and
every conceivable contrivance which would
contribute to the charm of the entertain

The ladies received and entertained roy

ing number of the first programme was the
stamford University March," written by
A. G. Kaufman '96, and dedicated to the
class of 95. Critics pronounce the compo-
sition a success. 1t is written for two-step
music, and was played three times at the
senior hop on Monday night. For the Sec

chestra played the overture from civilian
Tell" introducing the storm scene.
The subsequent numbers were illustrated
by means of stereopticon views thrown
upon an immense canvas stretched across
the west tower. ''The Darkies' Froiics,"
