[Letter from William Lyle Bryan to his mother, June 10, 1909]

President's Office
Atlanta, Ga.,
June 10,1909
Dear Mamma:

We are here at Edwina's and have just gotten up. She wants us to stop over till saturday morning and I suppose I will as today and tomorrow Edwina wants us to go out to grant's Park for a little Picnic. I will then come in home and be there at 12 o'clock Saturday morning or should I get left I will be there at night. I had a good time commencement.

Out of 15 medals "nons"

won 10 and out of 4 for oratory nons got 3. The frats are defeated. We had the Honor Roll passed at commencement. I was pleased to see my name on the list. Along with three others of my class.

We had our Non reception Tuesday night. I had a fine time and met lots of the girls. We secured the orchestra that the college had hired for commencement.

The Frats couldn't get my music and had a rather dull affair.

The line was drawn closer at commencement than I have ever seen it drawn. All of the girls in town divide up and a "Frat" girl wouldnt think of going with a "Non". I was glad that Kenyon (junior) got the medal for oratory. for the "frats" ignored him though he was the best speaker and applauded the man who was phi delta theta.

Your loving son,
Lyle

Please keep this R. of Honor
