GUESTS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
Reception is Held at the First Pres
hXterinn Church.

Wednesday afternoon from till o'clock
the students of the junior class of the Uni
versity of Omaha. assisted by the women
of the First Presbyterian church, enter
tanned their friends among the students and
faculty at the parlors of the church on Sew
enteenth and Dodge streets. The University
of Omaha has a college at Bellevue and two
at Omaha and as a natural consequence the
acquaintanceship among the colleges is not
extensive. Some time ago at the suggestion
of DR.. Kerr, the junior class conceived the
idea of having a reception in this city at
which the students of the different depart
ments might meet and make and renew
friendships. Accordingly the First Presby-
terian church was asked to assist in the
good work and the call upon it was not
made in vain.
Extensive preparations had been made for
some 200 guests and the committee on ar
rangements was not disappointed in the
attendance. During the afternoon groups Of
students, profusely decorated with the
college color5 of purple and gold, could be
seen about town making their way to the
church. A light luncheon had been pre-
pared and an impromptu program was
rendered by the students of the musical
department under Prof Jones of the Omaha
conservatory.
The committee which had charge of the af-
fair and the women of the First Presbyterian
church deserve much credit for the able
manner in which they handled the great
number Of visitors. No effort had been
spared to make the time an enjoyable one
and through the untiring efforts Of those
in charge it was enjoyable indeed.
The committee from the junior class OF
the university consisted of F. A. Brewster
of the Omaha Medical college. j. H. Bene-
dict OF the Omaha Dental college and W. H.
Kerr OF Bellevue college.

lack of heat. During the last cold spell the
heating plant, which is hot water system,
was allowed to freeze up and now only
three out OF twelve radiators are In working

to be given thorough overhauling as soon

in this school and If there is a probability
of severe cold weather more stoves will
