Junior Ball at Columbia.

Several years ago an attempt was made at Columbia to hold a ball, but owing to the poor reception the ball met with, succeeding classes did not care to renew the experiment. The object in holding the ball was to fill up the gap caused by the absence of real social life and social amusements. This year's junior class has, however, not been deterred by this rather poor precedent from renewing the venture. They decided to hold a Christmas ball in aid of the 'varsity crew and obtained permission from the faculty to use the library tomorrow night for their ball. No trouble has been spared and everything augurs a great success; the juniors hope to establish an excellent precedent and a prominent feature of Columbia's social life. The library will be decorated with Columbia trophies and with greens, and the law school rooms will be used for a supper after the ball.
