"THE WILL 0' THE WISP"PRESENTED BY DRAMAT-IC CLUB.

Meeting Open to the College.

On the evening of April 14th, MissDorothy Henkle's group presented "Thewnt 0' the Wisp" at an open meetingof the Dramatic Club, Those who sawthe play wished most sincerely thatopen meetings would be more frequent.The play, coached by Miss Beulah

Dimmick, was of such a nature andwas so excellently acted that it affect-ed the audience far more than amateurdrama ttcs usually do. The story toldof a poet's wife who came to the littlehouse at Land's Erid to see what fas-cination had held her husband there.She ridicules the old superstitious taleof people following the "Will 0' theWisp" to desu-ucuon, but is herselfled to her death by this same evilforce, who is a dumb waif cared for bythe old woman of the house, and whois. as the wif.e finally realizes, the at-traction which held her husband.Miss rota Mar-In, as the poet's wife,

a beautiful society woman, did ex-tre.mef y well. especially in the scenewith the Will 0' the 'wtso. The partof the Irish maid was convincinglytaken by Miss Melvina Mason. As theWill 0' the Wisp or the Fale FacedGirl, Miss Caroline Francke gave anexcellent Incarnation of the part,bringing out her d'r-ama tio possibilitieswith great force. Her graceful danceof the Flame added tremendously tothe sense of mystery, of the unnatural.Michaelina Namovtch came very neal'to perfection in her portrayal of thepart of a lonesome old woman with acanny understanding of people andlife. The end of the act found Lhetension audience at a h:,I;h pitch whichonly this "au-star" cast could haveeffected.

CONVOCATION-APRIL .26tllProfessor wm. Starr Myers, of the

Department of History and Politics atPrinceton University, will speak onthe subject. "Some Current Problemsof History."Professor Myers is well known and

very popular in Art Institute WOI'\{ atColumbia University and Brooklyn,where he has lectured yearly to largeaudiences, on some phase of the workin his particular field.

Miss Julia E. Turner, lately Directorof Residence, has left Connecticut Col-lege to take up a position as Professorof Household Economics at AntiochCollege. Ohio

On Sunday, April twenty-four-th,President Marshall will speak at Ex-eter Academy, Dxeter, Xew Hampshire.

THE SOPHOMORES GIVE AFASHION SHOW.

Present Pretty Models,

April 15th was the date of the firstFashion Show given at C. C., and the'23 colored jazz orchestra, attired inga~.'ly colored suits, started the showoff with a pep and dash that could beachieved only by this foot-stirring or-chestra. Emily Slaymaker friskedmerrily on her "rrtsko" whistle to thecyn copa ted rhythm which Miriam Co-hen alone can produce.:Marge Backus, becomingly attired in

a green mandarin coat and black satintrousers, was the announcer. Negli-gees were shown first. Mugs McCarthyin a pink jacket and white satin trou-sers, and Ethel Ayers in a rose negli-gee were the first entree.Mar-y-La mbeth Ragsdale, Betty Col-

lad.ay and Gertrude Busch looked sum-mery in becoming ginghams,Judy Warner, stunning in a tuxedo,

gave "Wedding Bells" from the com-edy. Anita Greenbaum gave an amua-ing recitation."VI'ewere then treated to a display

of sport clothes which would be a joyto the heart of any college girl.Mtss Barkerdlng, attired in a black

satin gown with jade sash, sang sev-eral eotos and Michaelina Namovtchgave an Italian impersonation with herusual dramatic ability.We were not treated to afternoon

dresses, but as for evening dresses,\v ho could resist the creations of blackand gold lace. green chiffon and cloth0' gold?Nothing is more d-ear to a girl's

heart than clothes, and we al1 enjoyedImmensely the privilege of viewingsome of the best looking garments onCampus. 'We can only express theard-ent wish that fashion shows mightcome more often and supply us withideas in which most of us are sadlylacking.

DREAMS OF A CREW NOTIN 'vAIN.

Do not think that simply becausefor the moment other activities seemto have, crowded the idea of a crewinto the background, that nothing isbeing done to further the project.Miss Snevelv visited Wellesley recently.and held a most enlightening and en-couraging interview with Coach Brown,as to the variety and kind of boatavailable. With this knowledge as abasis upon which to wor-k, the Commit-tee, backed by President Marahal l, hason foot a definite plan by which, in thevery near future, our dream of a crewwill be r-ealfzed.

"THE NATURE AND FUNC-TION OF AN ART MUSEUM."At convocation on April twelfth, Mr.

Ralph Adams Cram of Boston, gave avery fine and entertaining lecture onthe "Nature and Function of an ArtMuseum." Mr. Cram first stated thatto treat his subject well, it is necessaryfor one to get these three things clearlyin mind-An art museum, art and itsfunction, and art itself. He said thatpeople must overcome the idea that artis one highly esoectatlzed thing, that itis a thing trained by highly trainedspecialists and appreciated by highlytrained specialists, but that it is a fac-tor in all decent society, that it is thatthing which belongs to everybody as apart of the great sacramental system,that it is a creation. Art must havebeauty, for beauty is one great test ofreality-it is an absolute thin/i andcombined with humor it is a very val-uable means of testing the things whichsurround us today. 1\111', Cram illustra-ted his lecture w ith views of what anart museum should and should not be,His manner of address and his humormade the lecture a most entertainingone as weIl as an instructive one.

this unsightliness? There is certainlya strong element of truth In the state-ment that first im!)ressions are lasting,Even at the back door of our campusthere are ~L few young trees and bushesto take away that uncivilized look.

PARAGONS OF PUNCTUAL-ITY.

A dillar, a do1ln!', a ten o'clock scholar,\"hat makes you come so soon?

You used to come at ten o'clock,And now you come at noon!

This old nursery-rhyme seems tocontain a grain of truth in spite of itsantiquity, In fact it portl'ays a stateof affairs which is increasingly prev'a-lent on this campus, Once it was theunvar;ring rule for a professor to begreeted en the stroke of eight with a1'0\....of freshly SCrubbed, smiling faces,~ow, pel'haps, half the class are prcsent[or the roll-call. The next quart.er ofan hOur is punctuated at regular inter·vals with the breathless arrival of astudent, hastily arranging her middype, Is this the prODer attitude forupper classmen eS!leciaily, to tal.::,~ inregnrd to' 'such a se'emingly trivial,yet really vital ,su1?ject as punctuality?When the Freshmen arrive. they are

infal'med that punctuality in keepingcollege appointments is absolutely es-sential. They are eager to conform tocollege regulations, and start off splen-didly, regardless of previous habHs oftardiness, But do you wonder thatafter a while they show lapses in the-irpromptness? How can you expect themto do 'other than copy the illustriousexample of their virtuous elders?Therefore it behooves you, oh upper

clas~men, to merJ-dyour ways, On youdepends in gl"eat mea~ure the standardof promptness. 1Vha t we want, is acollege, not of ten-o'clock scholars,but of .veritable Paragons of Punctu·ality, E, H,,'22

esting talk about the farm and thegirls, She is a bitter antagonist o[ themechanical regularity of institutionallife and allows no bells for rising, etc.,and no reg-ular uniforms. To a certaindegree they have self government,The gll'ls 'are taken in from sixteenand on. There are several cottageswhel'e the girls are housed, each underan officer, and there Is a model dairyI'un scientifically, All the food israised and prepared by the girls,Thcir I'ooms were neat and the girlsthemselves in white dresses were veryattractive,Each girl has a ])articular duty for

three months, and offenses are penaliz-ed by deprivation of privileges, such astaking away the ])I'ivilege of wearingthe white dress,-which is their partyclress,--and non-association with theother girls, Their st..1.ndards at thefarm are much higher than those towhich most of them were accustomedbefc,re they came there, an(l for thisreason, if for none other, their stay isof great benefit to them,A bUilding has been ready for occu-
