A JOLLY GATHERING.
University Of Michigan Alumni Renew
Their College Days.

The Puget sound alumni Of the Uniyer-
sity of Michigan enjoyed their first SEM
annual banquet in the dining hall of the
Butler hotel last night About a table
laden with the good things of earth"
about fifty ladies and gentlemen lived
again in song and story their college days.
All were graduates of the same instltu-
ton, and their memories all centered on
the unpretentious group of buildings at
Ann Arbor. with It's manifold assocsa-
tons. as they sang % Salve Universities,
Mich.ganensium. Michiganensium." The
faces of those gathered about the board
last night would have stamped them as
colsegians In the eyes Of a stranger, even
were he insensple to the intellectual fire
which seemed TO charge the very atmos-
phere
This was the first time the alumni OF
Ann Arbor have ever been reunited in
fraternal festivities. and as each new face
was added to the gathering some one
would be heard to exelaim: why, is he
an Ann Arbor man. too?' Among those
present were some Of the brightest men
and women that have found their way
to the Sound. and the college spirit which
brought them together was perpetuated
by the informality with which each intro
duced himself to another and stra.ghiway
plunged into common recoilections of
their educationdi nome
The guests were gathered in the parlors
upstairs and adjourned to the dining
room about o'clock. While disposing OF
the edibles and liquids lavishly provided,
college songs were sung, like an echo from
the old serenades on the campus, and
speeches given full of wit attuned to the
occasion. To repeat all the good things
uttered or make common property the in
teresting thoughts and suggestions that
flowed from the speakers lips. Is impos-
sible for want of space, and the spirit
which animated them could not be trans
lated into cold type.
