Graduating Glass Guests at
Banquet Last Night.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Every One Was Happy and Good

DIR. Otto Kiene Elected Presi-

The finishing touches were given the
members of the graduating class from
the medical department of Washburn
college last night at Mills tea room
in the form of a banquet such as has
seldom been equaled on a similar occa-
sion in this city. The capacity of the
beautiful little tea room was taxed tic
Its utmost to afford seats for the hun
dred or more doctors, wives and sweet
hearts who were present to celebrate
the occasion.
The serious portion of the graduation
programme was carried out during the
earlier part of the day and those who
gathered at the banquet were there
for the sole purpose Of enjoying them
selves and making the occasion one
to be remembered with pleasure by
the members of the graduating class
In the past on similar occasions the
doctors, old and new, have tarried
and the banquets which have lasted
nearly all night have not commenced
until a late hour.
Last night the order was reversed
and the festivities opened promptly al
o'clock and the lid was firmly at.
fixed well before the last street cal
had found its way to the barn for the
