Picture
This week's photo is of the Hawkeye Literary Society Annual Banquet, held Monday, February 28, 1916, at West Hotel. After a seven course dinner, society president Lewis Bleakley introduced alumni B.W. Riner. A series of toasts were made by various members of the society and a solo sung by Richard Burroughs.  “The evening closed with old “M.C.” and a rousing “KiYi” “(Collegian Reporter - March 1, 1916 p.6). The event was chaperoned by Miss Dimmitt and Miss Fischer.  Individuals pictured include B.W. Riner and his wife, Richard Burroughs, Axel Beck, Harry Whyte, Lewis Bleakley, Miss Dimmitt and Miss Fisher.

Morningside College had a number of literary societies. These groups were important to the intellectual and social life on campus and the members often became leaders in their communities. The groups often sponsored debates on important topics of the day. These groups declined in membership as sports and other activities took their place.

The HJF library archive has programs from several such events. At the 1918 banquet held at the Martin Hotel students dined on such delicacies as Canape of Goose Liver, Consomme a la Royale, Broiled Breast of Chicken on Toast, Mixed Beans in Butter, and Medicis Ice Cream.
