COLLEGE FRIENDSHIP.
In a few weeks and weeks that will
truly belie their real length several
hundred seniors will receive diplo
mat indicating that they have com
pleted their courses in the Universi
ty. But to most of then graduation
will mean far more than the mere
leaving behind of four years of col
lege work. It will mean the break
ing away from the companionship of
many friends, in most cases, break
ing away from it foreve:. They will
not feel it so keenly now; they will
not realize its genuine seriousness
until the next year rolls around and
they do not return as usual to the
old associations. But those who
have any sentiment whatever cannot
help but feel the change; it will steal
over them unconsciously.
There is nothing like friendship.
A college is in a manner a little
world all its own; in it we have our
ideals and our opportunities; we find
our friends; iwe live in a close de
gree of intimacy with them; we learn
their fads and foibles; and sentimen-
tally, at least, we are a community to
ourselves. When we graduate from
college we are closing up definitely
and -finally a ceriam chapter in our
lives. Never again, probably, shall
we experience such an absolute
change of conditions and environ
ment. We go out and make new
friends, but they are not college
friends. We may come back for more
work, but we are not undergradu
ates, for iwhen a man graduates from
college he can never again ibe in spir
it an undergraduate. He assumed a
certain indefinite sometning that is
bound to be reflected in his own atti
tude and in the attitude toward him
of his former college associates. He
is no longer one of the boys; he has
joined the many other delegations
ahead of him to help form that gen
eral body known as alumni; and he
individually, whether old or young,
will havo a certain sense of dignity
thrust upon him, and will be shown
some degree of the deference paid
to the body of "old grads" in general.
No, it is of no use trying to avoid
it; you, seniors, are about to see a
break in that indefinite something
which you feel and can't describe,
and which you will feel more strong
ly in the future —college friendship.
If you have made the best of your
course, you will realize this and it
will have a great meaning to you. If
you cannot realize it; if to you col
lege has been nothing but books and
lectures and drafting tables and test
tubes and ammeters and unachine de
signs; if you have failed to find its
bentiments and its associations, then
you have not seen a vital part of its
real meaning, you have missed one
of the very best parts of your college
course.—The Daily Illini.
THE "VIRGINIANS" ENTERTAIN
Miss Ellen Raiford Honored by a
Luncheon.
Room No. 10 in New Garden Hall
on the evening of the 21st was the
scene of a birthday party. The room
was artistically decorated in apple
blossoms, and trailing arbutus very
representative of the spring time sea
son. The guests arrived at 8:30,
each one carrying a peculiarly wrap
ped package. These were taken at
the door by Miss Mary Lou Raiford,
who with the other hostesses, Misses
Okie Raiford, Lula Raiford and
Thelnia Cloud, after a hearty wel
come handed each gues a package.
For two minutes there was a contin
ual exchange of these packages. At
the end of the two minutes each girl
acquainted herself with the contents
of the package which she happened
to have, and curious sights were re
vealed.
The guests then were seated and
each one being supplied with paper
and pencil, the game "Consequences"
was played. This game furnished
lots of amusement, revealing the fu
ture of the guests, whom they should
marry what the world said and the
consequences. Then a delicious three
course luncheon consisting of olive
sandwiches, deviled eggs, pickles,
fruit salad, cake and coffee, was
served to Misses E. Raiford, Dix,
( lodfelter and Coltrane. Toasts were
given between courses.
When 9:30 came the guests de
parted declaring "The Little Virgin
ians" to be charming and delightful
hostesses.
THE GUILPORDIAN
C. E. DISCUSSES THE
REMEDY FOR INTEMPERANCE
On last Sunday night the Christian
Endeavor was led by Berry Lee
White, the subject of the meeting
was "Remedies for Intemperance."
The leader began his remarks ,by say
ing "that the objective motive is the
great propeller of a successful life."
Then he told us how enthusiastic the
delegates to the (Christian Endeavor
Convention at Atlanta were to have
a saloonless nation by 1920 and how
we should do our bit to help bring
about this great event. He made the
appeal that all Christian Endeavor
ens should enlist in this great army
of men and women who are fighting
the battle against king alcohol. The
leader gave a very vivid picture of a
gin 'mill with a large hopper; into it
intelligent young men were being
poured and coming out beggars and
outcasts.
Other persons made interesting
talks on the subject showing not only
the effects of alcohol but of 'tobacco
and other kinds of intemperance.
One speaking of remedies gave these
two: First give our financial means
to help rid this nation of this curse,
secondly, use our influence thru
whatever channel we can.
Mr. D. Peckham, of Brooklyn,
who is visiting the college, gave us
a few remarks which were very inter
esting. He said, "to bring about tliijs
great victory we all so much desire
make the ideals of our nation higher.
"Bind ourselves together with cables
of influence." "Begin to develop a
clean character early in life and be
able to overcome the temptation ol'
the liquor habit, which is sapping
the life from the young manhood of
our country. To do this we must
believe, obey, not be careless, and
behave." He closed his remarks by
saying that we should put on our
spiritual gas masks.
