Miss Pitney was graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1927 and is now a secretary of the National League of Women Voters, with headquarters in New York, where she is working with the league’s com- mittee on international co-operation to prevent war.

The ladies of Columbian College, of which Dr. Wil- bur was for 24 years the dean, acted as hostesses during the social hour which preceded the meeting. The pow- er that has developed in the world is centered in America in our time, Dr. Wilbur pointed out. And with this power, he sald, come obligations. “The aim of all human relatlons is a more perfect union. The development of a spirit of loving kindness toward one’s fellow men is the only thing that will make headway against fanaticisms and prejudices,” sald Dr. Wilbur. At the business meeting Mrs. Edwin Behrend gave her final report on the proceeds of the benefit which was hel October 29. The report showed pro- ceeds of more than $2,400.
