One Of the biggest boosting enter
prises was carried out Thursday in
the form OF an all college banquet,
which was given for the express pur-
pose OF getting together to boost for a
bigger, broader and better "A. c.. The
banquet had the desired effect and
everyone who attended is ready to
give a boost to all their friends.
The banquet proved doubly inter-
esting owing, to having two very dis
tinguished guests, w. J. Bryan and
Gov. John Burke. Each responded to
a toast which was very we'll received.
Mr.. Burke declined in favor of the
peerless leader, who gave a very in
teresting address to the students,
telling them the advantages of a cob
lege education and the uses 1t might
be put to. President Worst gave the
address OF welcome and took adj
vantage of the opportunity to bid fare
well to the students who are about to
leave, and urged them to come again
next year,
Toasts were responded to by one
student from each Of the courses and
each toast contained a boost for the
institution that will not be forgotten
very oon Miss Hooper probably re-
ceived the greatest attention of any
when she gave a vivid view OF what
would happen when women run the

The banquet was given at Ceres
hall and was a credit to the school,
and especially to the committee who
had it in charge. The Boys Glee club
also gave a couple of very pleasing
selections during the evening.
DR.. Putnam sprung a surprise on
the band last Saturday evening by
suddenly appearing among them while
they were playing at the game, He
has been in Chicago for the past week
having In operation performed on his
cheek and returned quite unexpected
ly. Chief Musician Bachman was
leading and from the smile on the
doctors face they seemed to be doing
as well as could be expected. The
band is certainly a big attraction for
the school and are deserving Of all
tae support that can be given. Their
next concert will be given Saturday
evening at the y. N. d. and A. G.
game.
