penses of tlu*sc banquets and see if wo
cannot hit upon a plan whereby wo
can raise this $.500 and have a .ban-
quet, too. Outside of individual ex-
penses for clothes, etc., the Adkisson-
ian banquet last year cost $343.50. This
is an official statement. I presume that
the other banquet cost about the same.
Conservatively speaking both these
banquets cost $000. From these facts
it can be seen that we could raise $500
and have $100 left over. Mr. Brown
says that if the boys would raise the
$500 he yvould give them a banquet
here at the college, and it is estimated
that a very elaborate course could be
served here for $100, and then every-
body could enjoy it, and we could have
a great, general good time with the
whole student body uniting around one
banquet table. Think of it! 'This could
easily be done, yet it would be a
change form our society spirit to the
nobler one of colelge spirit.
The greatest objection to this pier,
is that it would be hard and impractical
to persuade the members of the so-
cieties to subscribe when they were not
going to get the privileges of the Worth
