Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 April 1916 — George Ade Gets “Goat” Of Edward Rector, of Chicago. [ARTICLE]

George Ade Gets “Goat” Of Edward Rector, of Chicago.

Saturday night George Ade, the author, got the “goat” of Edward Rector, president of the Indiana Society of Chicago. Getting the “goat” is the process of that society of installing a new president. Edward Rector had served a year and George Ade succeeded him, and the jovial spirits who run the Indiana Society have a system of installation that drives “dull care” away. A “grand inaugural cabaret” preceded the ceremony and there was plenty of mirth and more or less to eat.
