MEISENHELDER.Cambridge, February 14, 1906.PITTSBURG.Since our last letter we have been striving to establish A Friday luncheon.These affairs have grown rapidly during the past few months. At our firstluncheon we had but four of the Pittsburg alumni present. We tried for atime to increase our number by sending out weekly postals. These helpedsomewhat in increasing the attendance but did not have the desired resultentirely. Lately we have succeeded in interesting a sufficient number bypersonal work so that we now have fourteen, sixteen and last Friday seventeenPhis present. At one of these Friday luncheons a discussion arose asto giving some social function that would gather a larger number of Phisthan we have been able in past years to interest in our annual dinner. Somewere in favor of a smoker, but the majority favored something being giventhat the ladies could attend. A reception and dance was finally decidedupon and Friday, February 2, was the date selected. We held said functionin the parlors and ballroom of the Hotel Henry. Thirty-five couples attended.We secured the use of the large parlor of the hotel which immediately connectswith the ballroom. The orchestra of the hotel furnished the music.Programs bearing the fraternity coat of arms were secured from Auld ofColumbus.
