were issued 10 this class, the fac.
ulty being present almost solidly

Long Receiving Line.
The receiving line was a long one,
versity, the faculty, the board of trus.
tees and the military department, the
faculty being represented by President
and Mrs. Tisdel and Miss Stoner, the
board of trustees by President Gramm
and the military department by Cap.
tain Heavey.
The entertainment consisted of a
conversational social. Cards similar
to the dance programs in common use
were provided, the gentlemen choosing
lady partners to discuss almost every
subject of everyday conversation, from
the Wall street panic to hobbies, and
including a ladies' choice, where the
privilege of the initiative was given
to the fair sex.
Moved on Signal.
At a given signal the gathering de
voted itself to discussing the one sub
jemt for just three minutes, and the
cures for the money panic, the causes
of the panic and other features of thai
event were as mer as were the
couples engaged in the discussion. DR.
John Franklin Brown, with his little
bell, brought Wall street to a sudden
end and for three minutes there were
discussions of another subject. This
was different from Wall street, and
each gentleman had a new lady com
panion, and SO on through the list
winding up with Second Wind" wher
the talk became general and was still
ed only when the refreshments were
served.
Pleased With Luncheon.
If the viands provided be the result
Of Prof. Stoner's efforts in the matter
of domestic science. then the hats Of
the male part of the gathering are lift
ed, the food being delicious and the
witches, ices and fruit punch we're serv
ed, the food bein gdelicious and the
service entirely acceptable, the hostess
being assisted by some OF the young
ladies of the department. 1t took some
time to serve the guests and there
were broken portions of conversation
between bites and sups that smackei
of the abstruse political, scientific, do
nestle and social questions discussed
earlier.
More to Follow.
1t may be put down as a certainty
that the affair was a decided success
and that similar events will be hailed
with delight by those who hope to be
in on the issuing of invitations. There
was some whispered intimation of &
house warming when Hebard hall shall
have been completed and formal,
opened, and that, too, will be an even
to be looked forward to. The members
of the faculty of the domestic science
department made a hit.
