Plane Only Tentative In the belief that the duties of the office of. social chairman of, his class include more than simply the man-. ogement of the annual class dance, Chapman has recently mode public. tentative plans for a freshman smok- er to he held this fall, and which is his, idea for the first diversion from the heretofore cut~and—(lried social life of the freshman classes of previous .years. After Thanksgiving This novel plan, never before un—' ilertaken at Armour, promises a rc- lief to the freshmen between the long interval from the Freshman Hand— shake to the Christmas holidays, and has been planned primarily with that purpose in mind, according to state— ments of the committee. 1' Dr. Raymond 111ml Donna Approve The tentative arrangements cell for an exclusively freshman gather, ing, at which good entertainment, smokes, bridge, and refreshments will be the major part of the pro— gam. No dates have been decided upon, and no place has as yet been engaged for the affair, though in all likelihood, it will take place shortly after Thanksgiving. ‘ The‘idea met with the ’un’rcsorvcd‘ commendation of President Raymond and of, Dean Palmer, both of whom felt that there existed a real need for such a function to promote the harmony and common interests of the members of the incoming class. Never Tried Before Never before in the history of the school has an affair of this sort been sponsored by any of the social com— mittees of the classes. Social func— tions which involved participation by the Whole class have been up to this time limited to the class dances. “I believe there is a distinct lack of such social affairs at this school,” said Chapman, at the time he first made public his plans. “Students here, many of whom live right in Chi» cago, come to class in the morning, and leave school in the evening, fol" low that grind from day to day, and never really enter the life of their school in a social way. The institu» tion needs more social functions which will produce better acquaint- ancoship mid understanding among the students if it is to build up a stronger and more unified college spirit.” _ Charge Small Fee The function will be financed in all likelihood from a small fee charged to each member ol' the class. This charge, according to calculations of the committee, will be veiiy nom- inal, since no expensive entertainers, or orchestra, will have to be engaged for the event. On the committee with Chapman are El. Hendricks, Paul Abrahamson, R. Fairbanks, and F. Ollioon ll/lr. hoctstetlslélessos ”in Steel bloc. Electing Members of Mr. F. T.

This is what one of the teachers of the great composer said regarding1 him, accord- ing to the eulogy given by Dr. Scher- gcr in commemoration of the death of the great musician exactly one hundred years ago. Five hundred guests, among whom were Supt. of Schools William .1. Bo- gun, Postmaster Arthur C. Lueder, and consuls of many foreign coun- tries, attended the services. The progxom consisted of an or chcstral and vocal rendition of Schu- bert's compositions, the oichestm be- ing gathed in accord with the custom of the time, with the stage set in characteristic German fashion of a century ago.
