Washington birthday was appro-
priately celebrated at Northwestern
yesterday, the program lasting virtu-
ally throughout the day. In spite OF
the low temperature the company
lined up before the dormitory to ring
out with volley as the flag slowly
unturled itself at the mast head.
Nothing damned by the cold the band
hastily assembled on the roof and
ripped off few marches between
volleys, at red hot tempo to. prevent
their becc ming frozen and thus lust
to the word.
At two O'Clock both organizations
left the college park, marching down
College avenue through Main street.
Arriving at the corner of the Catholic
church, the band formed circle, the
company lining up immediately be-
hind them. Here the band favored
the public with a number OF selections
while Capt. koehler put his men
through the manual of arms with
clock-like precision and interspersIng
volleys at intervals. Many students
having their homes in the vicinity of
Watertown being absent, An entire
squad and seven members of the
band were missing. Nevertheless the
boys succeeded in giving real mar
tial appearance, and the sudden filling
of the streets with the careful atten-
ton and friendly attitude of the
spectators bear ample testimony of
the peoples appreciation.
The entertainment given by the Phllo-
nathan and Lyceum Literary socities
in the college chapel proved to be the
browning feature of the celebration.
The chapel had been gorgeously dec
GRATED by the juniors, large picture
of Washington forming the centre
from which all drapery radiated.
Every number in the program was
success and to give one prominence
would be doing an injustice to the
rest. Mr.. Oswald Hensel, president
of the Lyceum, delivered the opening
address, in his clean, forceful style,
drawing attention to the real purpose
Ut the celebration of the day, and
demonstrating that it is in reality an
occasion of greater significance than
te other holidays which we are accus-
toned to observe with much greater
pomp.
The remaining orations were char
acterized by the qualities of the first,
and betrayed not only diligence but
the natural competency of the speaker
as we'll.
The debate which formed one of the
main numbers on the program was
won by the negative by vote of two
to one, the following having officiated
as judges: Profs. Kuhn and Frank
and the Hon. H. E. Bradley of Mil
waukee. The musical selections, as
usual, showed no minor part of the
of the audience, the
orchestara even being compelled to
yield to an encore after the final
number, when most people as rule,
prefer to see the curtain drop. The
program was as follows:
