The banquet was given onMarch 15, at the private banquet hall of the Kuglers' Cafe, in Philadelphia.The brothers were grouped In such a manner that all members of the sameyear of graduation were seated at the same table. In the case of brothersbeing present from out of town chapters, each chapter had its separate table,the active chapter men were all seated at one large center table. As a sourceof amusement a vaudeville show of six acts was given which proved to be ofa good variety and very pleasing. The entire party was conducted in a mostcongenial manner.
