JOINT MEETING OF THE LITERARY SOCIETIES
A joint meeting of the literary societies was held
Wednesday evening, March 14th, in the assembly
hall of the academic building. The program was
opened with a violin solo by Mr. Fred Cardin, which
received hearty applause. Other excellent musical
numbers were presented by the societies. The recita­
tions were rendered with commendable expression.
The readings also showed the results of more careful
preparation. The societies have evidently been em­
phasizing enunciation, pronunciation, and expression
in both recitations and readings, as a consequence of
which the members show to greater advantage, and
are more at ease in facing the large audiences present
at the joint meetings. Following is the program:
