another ball given, this time in college hall, formerly the old church, with
finer music and a little more of everything fascinating to youthful blood.
There were even later hours, -- and then Good bye to traditions!

It was considered to be a funny happening that the impressive portrait of
Professor Tyler hung over the stage to form a dignified featore [sic] of the Al-
umni dinner earlier in the same day held there, was left by accident in its
temporary place of honor and proved to be the only adorment [sic] of this end of
the building, from which it stared benignly down upon the "pretty pairs"
circling so madly beneath.
