SOCIETY At U. OF w.

The past week has been rather quiet,
especially at the university The only
large affair in which the students were in
terested was the concert given by the
Glee and Mandolin Clubs on Tuesday night.
The clubs left the next day for q tour OF
the Sound, the absence of the members
OF the university. The cadet encampment
at the beginning of the week also held
sway with the students to the exclusion of
everything else. Athletics is more promi-
nent than society at the present time,
while other students, especially those be-
longing to the senior class. are too busy
preparing for graduation to take much in
terest in or devote much time to society.
Commencement week will begin in a short
time The senior ball will be the large
affair of the period, while the different So
cieties and the Alumni Association will
give farewell entertainments of different
kinds.
