Literary Brain Brew

The class day exercises of the senior lits were held at the Tappan Oak, where the breezes of June waved the locks and kissed the intellectual brows of the participators, and oxygen took the place of aconite as a pulse-governor. The program was as follows. Oration by William Walter Wedemeyer; poem by Joseph Raleigh Nelson; class history by Walric Leigh Osenburg; prophecy by Marion U. Strong; address by the class president, Daniel Franklin Lyons. At the reception at the gymnasium, in the evening, the scène was one of enchanting brilliancy and the attendance very large. Vouth and beauty, in pretty costumes, glided over the dancing floor to the measure of music, like fairies on "a tnidsummer night," while oíd age looked soberly on from the galleries and would gladly have bribed Time with the means to purchase clothing, could he have rescued from the eternity of the past that youthfu)ness which, once dead, no enchantment can resurrect. The music for the regular nutnjers was furnished by the Chequamegon orchestra; that for the intermissions by the Minnis orchestra.
