King Tut to Be Out-Egypted
j BY G. ". u. Pyramid Banquet

Shades of ancient history! Old
announced his intention of giving the
colossal monuments in the Sahara
the name of pyramid in recognition
Of noteworthy society of which he
was a member.
History says that a few years later
Pharaoh kaamuhakra prophesied at a
Pyramid banquet that in the year 1928
the society was going to stage an event
commensurate to its name and prestige
at the Hotel La Fayette on the night of
Monday, April 9, commencing at 80
o'clock.
You students of antiquity and MEM
bers of the most ancient order of
crowned potentateS will recall that the
next mention of Pyramid was made by
Tiahomad Hakamph. who predicted that
the George Washington Chapter was
going to initiate an exceedingly fine
bunch of men in the early part of the
twentieth century, namely: Dean Hugh
Miller, engineer college Prof Charles
Sager Collier. Hillory A. Toson, Felix
Altrop. Francis w. Brown, Robert H.
Shaw.
"Herodotous, speaking before a group
of five hundred of his very close friends.
confided his fear that his oratory would
be excelled by future members of the
respected Egyptian society. the Pyra-
mid, and called special attention to the
speeches to be made by the faculty and
students of the George Washington Uni
verSity at their banquet in 1928
In the memoirs of Djogenes find
statement to the effect that although
Grecian philosophy was great. the real
learning was to be had in years to come
at the university located in Washington,
named in honor of the father of the
United States, and that the men attend
ing that institution who were so for
tunate as to have been bestowed with
faculties, which had enabled them to
prove themselves worthy of membership
in the Pyramid Honor Society would
carry on his work of instructing and
leading the multitudes to greater en-
heavors.
This all goes to prove that the ini-
tiation-b banquet to be held this year by
the Pyramid Honor Society is to be a
mighty fine affair and should be at
tended by every member, however de-
crepit, brain-fagged or blazee.'
Evening star., 1923-04-05

King Tutism Is spreading even to
this city, If one takes seriously the
advance notices of a letter sent out
today by the Pyramid Honor Society
of George Washington University
inviting members and prospective
members to the spring initiation and
annual banquet of the society to be
held Monday evening at 1880 O'Clock
at the La Fayette Hotel.
Information in regard to the So
ciety declares that the Pyramid, as
the society is alluded to. is COM
posed of the biggest men" in the
university and that membership is
the biggest honor" that can come
10 a man attending the university.
Members of the social committee for
the banquet are James Ptak. Walter
:. Stokes and Bartley II. Corbin.
Egyptologists may be desirous Of
reading the descriptive circular in
Nitatiou. 1t follows. in part:
banquet ever staged by the society
is accredited to the year 1883 b. c.,
at which King Tutankhamen made
his memorable speech, in which he
