The Brightonians elected new officers
last night with Mr.. Lightner as president.
Mr.. Lghtner is fully capable of filling the
office and we think the society will keep
on with the progress she has already
gained.
The Hall of the Brightonian Literary So
ciety was full to overlooking Friday night
with appreciatve visitors.
The Brightonians are taking the lead in
the field day sports as well as most every
thing else.
For some time past some one has been
willfully and maliciously Nchanging, mis-
spelling and marring our most honorable
name, that of Brightonian, by calling US
Bright Tony Ones, " 'Brghtmans,' etc.
We are undoubtedly bright and probably
a little too tony for them, for that was the
necessity of organizing this society. We
do most sincerely hops that it wont be re-
peated and hope that it was not done by
any organization as a whole, but by ire
sponsibe parties. We honor all societies
of this university and think it below our
dignity to change or deface the name Of
any society.
