The program of studies affords the foundation of a liberal education to all students; provides specialization in an elective major group; and allows free electives in partial fulfillment of re- quirements for degrees. i A special circular giving details will be sent on application. Progress and Needs. Buildings under way with approx- imate cost: First college building, Science hall . . $110,000 Refectory and lecture 1127 80,000 Dormitories (these units eac! for 40 students, Plant, | Blackstone ana Aliyn) .... 150,000 The dormitories Plant and Black- stone are the gifts of Morton F. Plant. The completion of these buildings will require all the money the college has now or is assured of. Needs of Connecticut College., To provide the requisite facilities for the work of instruction and to house the students and faculty it will be necessary yvear by year steadily to carry out an extensive programme of building. The following represents the minimum needs of the institution: 1914-1916— College hall (humanities and social science) . - ..$250,000 Dormitories . 2271500000 Power- house .. 100,000 1915-1917— Fine and Applied Arts build- g ... 125,000 Gymnasium . 75,000 Dormitories 150,000 Faculty residence 65,000 1916-1918— Library building ... . 125,000 Education building . 100,000 Music building X 75,000 Dormitories . 150,000 To these should be added chapel, union, museum and boat house. The development of the estate, roads, plantations, botanical and flower and vegetable gardens and farm buildings will require considerable funds, The endowment fund, the income of which is used for the general pur- poses of the college, is one of the most helpful forms of benefaction. The in- crease of the endowment will ensure the growth of the college and tne de- velopment of the institution, Adequate Library Needed. An adequate collection of books is a first requisite of a college. The library will require a preliminary ex- penditure, helped out by gifts of books now being received of $10,000. The adequate endowment of the library fund is a prime necessity. Professorships and Lectureships, Special local schelarships to help out needy students of lecal secondary schools to enter Comnecticut college. College scholarships and prizes open te all students of the college. A loan fund by which financial help can be lent to students of promise at low rate of interest. The present era shows an immense change and development in women’ occupations, responsibilities and oppor tuni . The means by which women can enter high up in the work of the present world and function powerfully therein is education. _“A Prominent Physician’s Advice. “Bat good foods and plenty of them. Dieting, in many cases, is almost crim- inal. Get back to normal. To do So you must have the proper quantity of nourishment. You need it for brain or physical work. Probably there is nothing the matter with your stomach except acidity. That is merely an abnormal secretion of acid in the stom- ach. Neutralize that acid and your stomach ‘trouble will end at once. Ne- glect may mean ulcers If not cancer of the stomach. Do not take patented medicines or pepsin tablets for dys- pepsia. Simply take a neutralizer of acid. Decidedly the best neutralizer is ordinary druggist's bisurated mag- nesia. You can get it at any drug store for a few cents. Take a tea- spoonful in a quarter glass of water after each meal. The relief will be im- mediate.” —_— time no single institution is so much needed and none can contribute so much to the welfare of the race as an efficient college for women. The foundation of Connecticut college of- fers therefore an opportunity for prac- tical and enduring beneficence. FREDERICK H. SYKES, President. IN SNOWBOUND DENVER. Norwich Girl Describes Conditions in Colorado City When Snowfall Was 32 Inches. Mrl and Mrs. W. H. Cardwell of Main'street have received a letter from their daughter, Miss Alice M. Cardwell, art instructor in Denver, Col, High school, describing the storm which buried that city in drifts early in December. Miss Cardwell's letter was dated Thursday, Dec. 4, the snow having begun the Tuesday be- fore. It continued up to Friday night, and her lotter was finished Saturday, when the sun was out and the snow melting. Over 32 inches fell, completely par- ng business. Cars and automo- biles were stalled all about the city. No schools held sessions, there was great inconvenience in getting groceries, etc., as no deliveries could be made. On Thursday night halls, the gymnasiums and the big Auditorium were fitted with cots for business people unable to get to their homes. Some of the de- partment stores fitted up temporary dormitories for their clerks. Snow- plows were useless, the gutters were piled high, and the only relief was through shoveling out walks and road- ways. By Saturday the second wind and wa mor in what at first was a serious gituation. In a trip downtown, Miss Cardwell noticed, uck in some of the drifts, such funny signs as “Made in Denver,” “Bought and Paid For,” et al an on all sides w ity had gotten its ble to see hu- re evidences of a re- sumption of activity and of the city’s recovery from its snowbound condi- tion.
