esting to Prof, Hodgin and Elks,
OTHER SOCIAL EVENTS.

Saint Valentine was well remember
ed at the University, most students re-
ceiving their shares of posters. There
were some very sore heads for the
shoe pinched," but on the whole there
was q great deal of fun and merri-
ment.
Wednesday there was a gentleman
photographer representing an eastern
firm who was obtaining pictures of
western educational development. At
assembly time he tool the body of stu
dents and made several pictures of the
grounds and buildings. On Thursday
he took the basket ball girls team and
also the senior class, The pictures
will be on sale by the president next
week.
Mr.. Keleher has been chosen by the
board of control of the athletic associa-
ton as captain of the base ball team
anu Mr., Hughes as manager. Pr11ii.
Tight has consented to be the coach.
Next Friday the Atheneum Literary
society viii give a program open to the
public at | o'clock. There is to be
some fine literary and musical work,
| followed by a debate on SHOULD n
Red Haired Girl Wear Blue?'
Prof. Tight consulted the students
on Thursday and friday concerning
some of the affairs of school manage
ment and student organizations. giving
them representation and a voice in the
University government. Prof. Tight is
certainly pursuing a policy which
brings him very much in favor with the
students and makes them feel a self
responsibility that is a strong factor
in the building of a character in col
lege which will withstand the tides of
life that assail after school is over.
Last night Prof. Hodgin and mis- wife
entertained the normais ana freshmen.
It was a delightful occasion n one
which will long be remembered by
those present, AT & the guests having
assembled were ushered TO the dining
room where a sumptuous feast was
spread and which all voted to be q
feast fit for the gods.
Each person was presented with a
handsome souvenir Oh lie dinner,
which they wore the remainder OF he
evening. After dinner the guests were
shown to the parlor and there were
entertained with music for a short
time. There each was presented win
a card n told to draw a Valentine
n write a verse OF poetry explaining
1t. Some of the Valentines were very
unique, Mr.. Wroth taking the first
prize for the best, Miss Brewer coming
next. Some more peasant games were
played, one being the shooting at a
heart shaped target with a bow and
arrow. Miss Kate Cunningham won the
prize for coming nearest the tiny heart
at the center of the target. Then
came the feature of the evening, being
a st. Valentines court. =. court room
was fitted up, and a jury, attorney,
defense and plaintiff were brought
forth. President Tight acted as Judge
and we certainly feel he has missed his
calling. Prof. Hodgin was plaintiff,
entering a plea against the normal de-
partmept. After much ~parlance, call
up of witnesses, etc, the jury finally
decided the ease in favor of the de-
tense. The evening closed after the
court gave it's decision and everyone
will remember the occasion as one of
the most pleasant of their lives.
The normals presented Prof. Hodgin
with a very handsome Valentine, con-
tanning original sketches of his stu
dents, with some very appropriate
poetry composed by n of their num-
Der which he will always prize very
!. highly.
