organized the Gamma chapter here
about two years ago, at which time
she won the devoted friendship of the
young members.
, The floral decorations embraced the
Sorority colors, cardinal and straw,
and were sent in by the other Greek
letter chapters of the college, who
together with the members of the
college faculty were the special in
Vited guests of the Chi Omegas. The
refreshments of orange ice with cher
ries We're served from a punch bowl
which was presided over by Miss Hal
lie Lewis.
On the Monday evening following,
the members Of the fraternity held
their annual banquet, at which Miss
WEIGH was again an honored guest.
The banquet, which had been left
to the direction of the Kings Daugh-
tiers, was delightful affair. Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles A. Cay, always in SYM
pathy with young folk and their in
terests, offered their beautiful home
for the occasion, and Mrs. Cay gave
able assistance in the decorations and
arrangement of the table. Sunset and
Marie Henriette roses were the chief
floral adornment, carrying out the
fraternity colors of cardinal and
straw, while the hand painted place
cards bearing the carnation, flower of
the chapter, were tide with cardinal
and straw ribbons.
The Chi Omega is the fourth larg-
est Greek letter fraternity in Ameri
ca, numbering about 1000 members.

Neil wife of DR.. Jerome Mcneil, pro-
fessor of biology and chemistry, is
patroness, has large membership,
and is in most fiourishing condi-
ton.

By request of the state board OF
control, DR.. A. A. Murphree, of the
State University, and DR.. Edward
Conrad, of the College for Women,
have issued a circular letter to each
graduate of Florida's former state
institutions, advising them that the
board would be pleased to present
them, free of charge, with diplomas
corresponding to their former GER
tificates,. which would constitute them
members of the University and Col
1ege Alumni The board very right
ly considers that these former gradu-
ates are entitled to the same 'hon-
ors, rights and privileges" as aper-
tain to the graduates of the present
| institutions, and, since the University
and College are heirs in a way 70
the old institutions, they should be
looked upon as the Alma Matters of
all graduates.
There will be a banquet given on
the night of the 18th of May, during
commencement week, to which all
the Alumni are invited.
DIR. S. NJ. Tucker spent the early
part of the week in Gainesville con-
ferring with DR.. Murphree with re-
gard to the arrangement of the next
university and college catalogues. It
is the wish of the heads of these In
stitutions that the catalogues shall
be planned on the same general lines.
DR.. Tucker visited several of the
South Florida high schools in various
cities before his return TO ITALIA
hassee.
DR.. Jerome McNeil's lecture on
What Is Evolution?" at the college
chapel Tuesday evening was one of
the most interesting Of the series
