COLLEGE SPIRIT
GRIPS FROLICERS

unquestionably the biggest single
event featuring the New Years cele-
bration in Wilmington was the con-
cert. dinner and dance given by the
giee. banjo and mandolin clubs OF
Cornell University in the grand ball
room and the duBarry room OF the
Hotel dupont last night.
10 was a formal affair throughout
and enjoyed not Oply by the nifty
eighth Cornell men, but also by the
hundreds OF WilmingtOnians who
were so fortunate as 10 be particl-
pants.
II was a function in which there
was a splendid display OF college
spirit which even swept over men,
women and children who have had no
connection, either near or remote, to
Cornell University.
The grand ballroom, the duBarry
room and their approaches were
aflame with red and white. the Cor
nell colors, toned by artistic draperies
/ OF evergreens, and banks OF palms and
/ other potted plants.
/ The concert and dance were held In
/ the ballroom. The refreshments were
| served in the duBarry room. 10 was
after ? o'clock before the merry-mak-
| ing ended.
In connection with the serving OF
/ refreshments several pleasing and
amusing stunts were pulled of.
The singers and players were ex-
/ ceedingly generous In their treat
ment Of the large and appreciative
audience, which not only filled the
ballroom but overfl0wed into the
| lobby There was not a number on
/ the program that did not receive an
encore TO which cheerful response
was not made. The baritone solos
by r. w. Steele, '2i, met with spe-
cial favor.
The men seemed TO derive quite as
much pleasure from the program as
the audience. One song In the FIRST
half by james II. Rogers. But
They Didn't" was a sure test OF their
training, since it required shading
and phrasing Of the most careful or
der. ''rhe intercollegiate Medley" In
the second half and the closing num-
Der Evening Songs" from songs
OF Cornell" were dignined and mu-
sicianly-in these as In all OF the
ensemble work the great organ tones
created by the truest sort OF harmony
were delightful indeed 10 hear
pOldin's "Waltzing Doll" danced
by two Of the men and accompanied
by the Mandolin Club. was one Of the
attractions and two others Of the
club gave a very good Bert Williams
poker game imitation
