Tonight will take place reception
given by the students of the summer
school to the faculty. 1t will truly be
the event of the summer session. Re-
freshments and other necessaries have
been purchased with the $l25 that has
been raised for the purpose by the Man.
kato Business Mems association. A col
lection has been taken among the stu
dents and with this money mementoes
have been purchased for all the profess
sors. All the members of the faculty
are going to be called upon to speak,
The entertainment will be heightened by
performance to be given in the chapel
hall by the glee club. Ice cream and
punch will be served.
Examinations will take place on Fri
day and Saturday. Those students, who
do not wish to take the examinations,
need not do so, but only by being ex-
amined can they receive credit for the
work they have done.
These were not all the diplomas that
were awarded this morning. Supt. Free
ment announced to the students assembl-
ed in the chapel hall that he was about
to present diploma to one whose life
could be fttingly divided off into three
periods: Ten years as husband; three
years as a normal school instructor; two
years as fun-maker among the mem
bers of the summer school faculty. He
now produced what appeared like
sheepskin, tied with red and green rib
bon. He opened the same, and glancing

kato Summer School Diploma, awarded
to Jeremihum Simeonum Youngum, as
evidence of superior attainment in the
following particulars: A series of sub
rosa attacks upon innocent members of
the summer school faculty, ravenous

tus in Professor Cox's culinary depart
ment, promoter of effervescence of the
amatory propensities, and conjugal con-
niptions, an authority on Egyptian
hieroglyphics, cuniform inscriptions, and
antediluvian hen scratches. Dated at
Mankato, Minnesota, July %, A. D.,

Ulysses o. Cox, one who knows; F. L.
Holtz, competent judge; E. F. Humph-

not be forgotten;" Ellen G. Davis, "Just
as I prophesied;" Alice Virginia Rob-
bins, "He means well, sometimes;" A. D.
Griffin, 81 am not surprised"
Of course the episode brought down
the house. The other members of the
faculty felt that Prof. Young had receiv-
ed as good as he had been giving. They
turned with one accord and threw flow
ers at him. Many of them were huge
sunfowers.
