THE ALUMNI TOURNAL 



THE ALUMNI BALL. 



The Alumni Ball, held this year at the Concert Hall of Madison 

 Square Garden, Wednesday evening, January 30th, was a scien- 

 tific mixture of Harmony, Sociability, and Fraternity. The Hall 



was pl-enty large enough to 

 hold a good sized afifair and 

 the four hundred more or less 

 who attended the affair, were 

 certainly at home and at ease, 

 whether dancing or observing 

 the dancers. 



The decorations were very 

 neat and artistic, especially 

 those in front of the boxes of 

 the Kappa-Psi, Classes of '07 

 and 08 and the Psi-Chi. The 

 members of the latter were 

 very much in evidence all 

 evening, giving their yells 

 both in song and in voice. 

 The Kappa-Psi were more 

 orderly, as they lacked the 

 strength of the Psi-Chi. Grad- 

 uates of the dift'erent classes 

 gave their class yells, this be- 

 ing started off as usual on all 

 such occasions by Messrs. Wendler, Binder and several others of 98. 



The music was rendered by Crowley's Eighth Regiment Band, 

 and was very good indeed. 



Dancing started about 10 p. m., and kept up until the wee hours; 

 the cotillion was lead by the President. Wm. A. Hoburg, Jr.. and 

 his sister, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Binder, Mr. and Mrs. Hitch- 

 cock, Mr. and Mrs. Lotz, Mr. O. Matthiessen and Lady, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Haviland. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory, Mr. and Mrs. Erb, and so 

 on down the line ; it was very well executed and showed that Pres- 

 ident Hoburg participated in such functions before. 



Refreshments were served in the Ante-Room where all could 

 partake of light drinks and eatables.
