of the guests had seen the club
rooms, mid the words of praise
were many. At the doors a recep
tion committee, consisting of C. R
Worrall, Horace S. Norton and Charles J. Axtell, greeted the guests, who were made to feel at home. Such a crowd in numbers and such a crowd in enjoyment has never been seen here before at a reception. The University representatives were proud of the treatment given them by the Oolite
members, and the Oolite members were proud to have as their guests
the faculty and students of Indiana University. The base ball boys
were the heroes of the evening, and I
were most heartily congratulated. !
