OMEGA LANDER CHI NEXT
MONDAY.
1t had. been announced, owing to q
misunderstanding as to dates, that the
annual Omego Lambder Chi celebra-
ton in memory of the sophomore So
ciety of that name, abolished some
years ago by the faculty, would be held
| on the campus last evening. 1t was
found in looking up the matter yester-
day afternoon that the regular date of
the affair will be next Monday evening
A large number of town people, includ-
ing many ladies, assembled on the cam
pus early in the evening to witness the
sport which it was supposed would
take place. The seniors adopted nov
Ell method of informing the crowd of
the mistake in the announcement of
the date of the celebration by forming
in line, two by two, and marching
about the campus bearing at the head
of the line large placard with the in
scription, Rubber Neck; Another
Week" After the procession about the
campus the Glee club assembled at the
fence and sang several college songs.
