older alumni who attended the levee
last year would indicate that there

the active chapter of the Alpha Dia-

always looked forward to with expec

who wore the crescent and participated
in the mysteries of the fraternity
years ago and of the newly initiated
members who still have vivid recollec-
tions of the ordeal of initiation pro-
vides for pleasant exchange of both
the older and more recent history of
the chapter. Old traditions and Gus
toms, news of graduated members,
some of whom have gone into the be-
yond and the affairs and tIiumphs OF
the men in College now, all form top
les of absorbing interest,

jects like these, good representation
of the Digs gathered in the hall last

terer Braun and his assistants had
spread on the long table which extend

such feat, under such circumstances
could be. When the courses had been
finished. cigars were lighted and the
| members prepared to listen to the
toasts. Hon. Chas. Dana was chosen
toastmaster and in a witty manner
called upon member after member for
responses. OF the older alumni, w. w.
