Meeting was called to order December 16, at 8.05 p. m. After 
transacting a few business matters the meeting adjourned to the 
University restaurant, where the annual banquet was held. 
Among those present were Drs. J. W. Adams, S. J. J. Harger, 
W. Horace Hoskins and Wrn. G. Shaw. Owing to the ab¬ 
sence of the Dean, Dr. Leonard Pearson, from town, he was un¬ 
able to be present. We are happy to say that the banquet was 
a success and will go down in history as one of the enjoyable 
affairs of college life, as it carried out the old adage— u A little 
nonsense now and then is enjoyed by the wisest men.”
