The Presidents Reception :.
The campus was a scene of beauty
and charm on Monday evening when
in its gay attire it welcomed the many
alumni friends of the college at the an
nual presidents reception in Memorial
hall. The electric lights strung along
the walks and covered with Japanese
lanterns lent very festive air to the
surroundings, and the sight Of the
guests walking around the grounds in
evening attire produced a scene very
rarely eQualled here in this city While
the reception did not take place until
eight, the many guests and friends be-
gan to assemble on the brightly lit
campus before that hour, and the scene
was turned into a park where old &C
quaintances were renewed and many
new ones made. The fraternity houses,
lighted up from ram pasture to par
lors and with their Distinguishing es-
cutcheon designating to the alumni
their respective frat houses" of the
past, held open house and here informal
fraternity reunions were held up to the
time of the reception. At the hour of
eight the hall over the chapel in Me-
mortal hall was we'll filled and here
the time honored event was held in
full array, and q receiving line COM
posed Of President and Mrs. Roberts
and the other members Of the faculty,
together with their wives welcomed
the alumni and friends of the college
for two hours during which beauti-
full orchestral selections were render
ed by Wentworths orchestra of 25
pieces. Members of the mems division
of the Freshman class served as ush-
ers in cap and gown. and met the
guests at the door, taking them to the
head Of the receiving line, where they
met President Roberts. During the
evening ices We're served by the mem
bers of the women's division of the col
lege and the guests We're made to feel
perfectly at home by the entertaining
faculty. assisted by representatives of
the student body. This delightful func-
tlon coming once year. is the only
time when the faculty led by the presi-
dent receives the friends and alumni Of
the college, and the affair is always
we'll patronized by the many people in
terested in the college and her welfare.
Coming as it does, on the first night
of commencement week, it serves as
rendezvous for the many commence
ment visitors, and the evening always
affords a great deal of pleasure, to ev-
eryone concerned Here also. the men,
hers of the graduating class meet for
their last formal reception, and this
adds also to the impressive success of
nearly two hours, automobiles bring
ing new guests and taking away 9TH
ers throughout the evening. Towards
the latter part of the evening, the fol-
lowers of the dance, left the scene IF
formality and found their way to the
new Elks' hall where the Seniors were
holding their last event of merrymak-
ing-the annual Senior hop.
The Senior Hop
Just as soon as the presidents re-
Ception was over, and the Commence
ment orchestra had moved to the next
scene of activity-the new Elks hall
a concert began to be in the air, and
here under the management of the
Seniors, a reception was held entirely
informal yet managed in such way
