Dinner to Professor Herbert Osborn. 



A dinner in honor of Prof. Herbert Osborn was tendered him by 

 about forty of his former students on Wednesday evening, December 

 29, 1915, at the Chittenden Hotel, Columbus, Ohio. The occasion was 

 highly enjoyed as a home-coming by both Professor and Mrs. Osborn. 

 Some verses entitled "Herbert Osborn, an Appreciation," composed by 

 J. O. Sanders, and followed by the signatures of other students, illumi- 

 nated in black, red and gold on vellum, was presented to the guest of 

 honor. The sixth (last) stanza read: 



"Fond memories of you, kind sir, we hold 

 Most dear in summer's heat and winter's cold ; 

 We pledge our love, our faith, in ease or stress: 

 Good friend vour best reward is our success."
