Melvon Hildreth gave eloquent pleas,
and Mr.. Talbot upheld the dignity Of
the bench. Miss Dart, as forewoman
Of the jury, brought in a verdict of

a very pleasant part of the celebration.
A new tradition has been establish
ed at the college in the way of a May
day celebration. which occurred for the
first time last Monday. The elaborate
preparations and other considerations
made it necessary to wait until the
latter part of the month for the event.
The morning began with a breakfast
served by the Y. w. C. Al. the proceeds
OF which will 90 toward the Geneva
delegate fund. The May pole cere-
monies were very pretty and the pro-
gramme was carried out without a
hitch. The procession formed at the
library and marched forth to the
strains of the college band, headed by
the queen of the May. Miss Ina Low

A pretty affair was the banquet Civ
en- at the Waldorf Wednesday even
ing by President Creegan to the mem :
bers OF the college and conservatory
faculties. Covers were laid for forty.
Among the guests outside the faculty
were Mr.. Hutchinson, Mrs. True, j. D..
Vowles and James Pollock, president
OF the alumni association. During the
course of the evening the guests were
treated to a serepade by the college
band, and President Creegan respond
ed with a few words. AS POSTMASTER
President Creegan was at his happiest.
He called on a number of members OF
the faculty for impromptu toasts, and
upon Mrs. Hutchinson for a number of
readings. In calling on DR.. C~allander,
head of the work In anatomy, the pres
ident called attention to the fact that
Dean French Of the medical depart
ment of the university has expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
grade of medical work being done at
Fargo college. DIR. Cailander said that
OF the ten or twelve men studying UNI
der him, some were doing unusually
iine work. Others who responded to
toasts were Director Orr of the con-
Rervatory, Mrs. Hazelton, Mrs. Callan-
der, Miss True, Professor Wanner,
Miss Hill, Miss Sutton. Professor
Kurtz, Miss STANLEY. Miss Read, Deans
Lonn and Brown and James Pollock
for the alumni. The only circum-
stances to mar the pleasure of the ev-
ening were the facts that Mrs, Cree
gan. who was expected to arrive in the
city for the banquet. was unable to get
to Fargo in time, and that Misses Read
and Stanley and Professor Kurtz have
resigned their positions and will work
ia other fields another The ey-
ening was an event long to be remem
bered by those present.

tel the Henry Clay Simmons Literary
