TORONTO, Ont.—How far should
the seeker after knowledge go? Not
to the door of the brewery—is the
answer of members of the W. C. T.
U. when it reached their scandalized
ears that the boys of a Toronto high
Seniors Cavalry
Give Banquet
Cavalry Squadron seniors held their
annual banquet honoring their regu
lar army officers last Friday night in
the Sbisa Hall annex. Cadet Major
Charles Herder, Jr., of Weimar serv
ed as toastmaster, and Major J. P.
school had been taken on a jaunt] Wheeler and Captain I. G. Walker and
through a Toronto brewery—all in
the name of alcohol as expressed in
terms of chemistry.
The students were studying chem
istry and it was felt that firsthand
information would be useful in their
quest of knowledge. The boys had not
sampled the product.
Many citizens felt a tempest in a
teapot or turmoil ip a wine vat was
being stirred up but some parents felt
that there must be other ways of
teaching chemistry. Trips through
dairies, laundries and abbatoirs might
be all right but there was a savory
difference about a brewery. They felt
that educationalists were becoming il
logical.
An incunabulum—a book printed
before 1500—has been acquired by
the New Jersey College for Women
library.
H. B. Gibson were the guests of honor.
Major Wheeler was presented with
a fitted traveling kit and Captains
Gibson and Walker were given desk
fountain pen by the Cavalry seniors
as token of appreciation for their
work with the cadet squadron during
the past year.
Fei ling that probably it was the last
time they would be together as a
group, the seniors and officers center
ed th.ir conversation on the class
history in general and the past sum
mer camp in particular.
When Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, cu
rator of reptiles at the New York
Zoological Park, wanted to get a huge
cobra to Washington, D. C. for ex
hibition purposes, he carried the dead
ly reptile in a canvas bag with him,
and kept it warm under the blankets
of his pullman berth.

ther, in His infinite wisdom has
seen fit to call from this life, Mrs.

Be it resolved that: The senior

as in behalf of the members of the

Any man may be in good spirits
