1*111 Kappa Banner
is Returned.
ASSOCIATION MEETING
ANNIVERSARIAN.
Historic Banner of the Literary So -
ciety is Left on Chapel Door
Thursday Night.
On v'stonlnv morning, the
University was astonished at
finding attached to the chapel
door the Ihtmier of the I’lti
Kappa Literary Society which
was stolen hy some malicious
vandal last year.
The whole affair is shrouded
in mystery, and the banner was
returned as secretly as it was
taken and as secretly as it has
I hidden for the past twelve
months. It is not known
whether the historic emblem
was returned hy the original
thief, or hv some other person ;
and in fact all that is certain in
the matter is that it must have
been left on the chapel door
sometime during Thursday
night with the intention of re
storing it to its rightful place.
It will he remembered that
the haulier was used in the
Shropshire contest Iasi year.and
through some carelessness on
the part of the hearer, was left
in tin* chapel after tin* exercises
were over. It remained in the
building for several days, when ;
it was stolen hy some unprinci
pled thief—whether student or
not will probably never he
known. Kvery etfort to r«*cover
tin* banner proved of no avail,
and the search was given up af
ter a month or two.
Believing that the old stand
ard would never he regained,
the ladies of Athens, in their
kindness of heart, had raised a
neat sum to replace the old hau
lier hv an exact counterpart.
Madame Lustrnt and Mrs. \V.
B Hill have taken the leading
part in the movement and they
have been nblv assisted in their
efforts hy a nutnlier of other la
dies. Arrangements were lut
ing made to have the presenta
tion occur on February ‘2‘2nd,
the eightieth anniversary of Phi
Kappa.
The return of the old banner
will probably cause a radical
change in the plans of the la
dies, as a new standard will now
he unnecessary. It is not known
yet, however, what action they
will take in tin - matter.

Last Saturday night Mr Kmile
Breitenbuclier, of Atlanta, won
the place of A miiversarian of the
Phi Kappa Literary Society for
the year 100O. The contest was
very close and interesting, and
so difficult a matter was it to de
ride between the merits of two
of the contestants that two trials

cessary to choose I lie speaker
who merited the highest honor
in the gift of the literary so-

Tile tir-t contest occurred three
weeks ago, and tin* judges on
