events or the week just closed were III
to old traditions of the University com.
mencements for an hundred years. Not
outstanding the statement at the Alumni
banquet made by that prince of good
men, Judge Fred Philips, of Tarboro, thai
the girls were prettier between 1850 and
1860 than now" there are several hun
dred University boys who are ready tc
wager their life that there never was 4
time in the past and never will he a
time in the future when so many beautiful
young women graced commencement as
the year of grace 1901, in this delightful
village.
Some years ago, the social gaities be-
gan on Monday and embraced the entire
week, but now there is no dance or ban
quet during the commencement occasion
except the Presidents Reception ON Tues
day eqvening and the Alumni banquet on
Tuesday afternoon. Other social func-
tons, in the control of the students and
their friends, do not begin until the Gov
ernor presents the diplomas and the Com
mencement Exercises proper are over.
The Alumni Banquet on Tuesday after
noon was presided over by Col Thomas
). Kenan, whose devotion to the Univer-
sity, his genial ways and his brilliant re-
parte, makes him great favorite here.
Quite number of the alumni responded
to impromptu toaSts. Among them were
President Venable, Hon. Fred Philips,
Josephus Daniels. j. S. Manning, Chas. D..
McIver, w. S. Wilson, Paul b. Means,
e. M. Armfeld, W. II. Swift and V. S..

Hall Tmuesday night, when for the first
