The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-06-09

Inc week has been devoted to the
mystic maze OF events Of the Com
mencement season. Glasses of the
"70'e," 'S0's," and $685." have had
their gatherings, their Jokes and their
histories to relate. Banquets have pre-
vailed and addresses have been the
morning and evening meals. But
above and best of all there has been
the Senior. One may multiply ones
degrees but ono is never wholly and
solely senior but once. The Seniors
are not only the pivots Of interest and
of feasting. but the origin Of the &C.
casion. 1t is we'll to stretch the week
to it's length and to it's breadth, for not
until the next season will the folds of
the Senior gown or the tilt OF the Senior
cap inspire such interest, and then
there will not be this particular flock
Of Seniors but another.
Commencement week, with its &C.
compartment of tremendous audiences,
OF festivities with interludes Of packing,
of busy draymen with their caravans Of
trunks, and Of constant au revoirs at
the station, brings to mind what a
great, intricate. working part Of the
town and state life the University has
become.

are not far from town. Picnic energy
will soon be turned in the direction of

come the multi-millionairies OF the
town.
