Mitchell is Chosen President for Another Year —Mflm&wmmd?wE‘mfl- ing. —— The annual meeting of the Nor- wich Free Academy alumni took piace in Slater Hall Monday evening with a large attendance. After several selections pleasingly rendered by the Academy orchestra, the meeting was called to order by the president,” Mrs. Frang A. Mitcheli. The secretary’s mannual report whs read as was also the treasurer’s. The report of a special meeting held in October at which it was voted to give $100 for instruments for the Academy was given. Mrs, Mitchell made a short speech of welcome to all those alumni who veere present and spoke Of the meces- sity of the support of the alumnl as well as the trustees to promote the best interests of the Academy and the need for financial as well as mo- ral support. Mrs. Willis Austin spoke of Liberty onds and wished ratified the vote f the executive board of Alumni to purchase a $100 Liberty bond. It was so_voted. The board had not pro- vided the usual ice cream for this annual meeting in order to help meet this obligation. Mrs. Mitchell introduced as the speaker of the evening Mrs. Henry S. Haskell or as she is perhaps better recognized, Mrs. Juliana Shields Has- kell of New York and Columbia col- lege. Mrs. Haskell began her address by an unusually tender and deep-reach- ing eulogy, most evidently prompted by the most sincere and understand- ing affection and gratitude, of Robcrt Porter Keep. She spoke of all that his influence had meant in her life and of the impression left by his char- acter. She also alluded to the loving and tender influence exerted by the beauty and streneth of character of Miss Charlotte Gulliver. Passing to the subject of her ad- dress, Mrs. Haskell spoke on Womsn, College Women, Barnard Women. Time was when women entered into life and sainfu] occupations timidly and apologetically. Now women in e field of industry are commonplace, ¥ worse, they are a menace. They are a menace to the job, a factor to be reckoned with. Between the two stages thero has been some opposition, none so bitter as In England and in Germany, where the women are not desired by their families to go forth into the world to earn their own way. Society asks what women do with their economirc independence. In Bar- nard college there is great diversity of type: all classes: various nations. Some of the graduates have become writers, practitioners of Barnard stands for suf- Graduates and undergraduates aumber actresses, literary — workers, teachers. chemists, bacteriologists among their number. Frequently they invent professions, such as code mak- ers, advert'sing burcaus, etc. Parnard zirls knit and do surgical dressings. They have contributed an ambulance frage. DIAMOND THIEVES MADE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE Johnson ' Brothers Made Rush for Freedem but Couldn’t Unlock Doors Johnson brothers, who are at the jail awaiting trial for robbing a local jewelry store, attempted! to br-ak jail abott 11.30 o'clock Monday morn- ing and beat up the turnkey, W. J. Simpson. Owing to the fact that the big doors are locked with differznt locks on both sides the men were un-y able to escape. Mr. Simpson was just providing dinner for the inmates when ths Johnson brothers rushed at him, land- ing blows about the fice and head and as one of the Johnsons has the reputation of being a prize fghter his_blows were cffective. Word_ was_telephoned to Chief Lin- ton by Mrs. Main, wife of Jailor Main, and Officer Charles Smith was sent | to the jail. At the point of the p tol the ‘two men were placed in their cells.

Columbia in the present crisis is with the govermment with one or two exceptions; those who are pacifists, opposed to being perfectly honest and sincere in their oppesition. ‘One of the professors is ensased in a new department which is not al- lowable to be spoken of. Two things are noticeable in the spirit of the Columbia men—first their absolute disinterestedness. second their tendency to discourage facts likely to create hatred of the enemy. A Columbia professor is head of the national board of historical ser- vice which devotes itself to enlight- ening the public about the war. They aiscourage inflammatory literature. There is in New York a workroom where all sorts of han®work is made and sold by the colleze women, the proceeds of which zo toward the sup- port of the new Columbia hospital. The national committee on prison and prison labor has compiled two valuable volumes regarding alien’ in- ternments and all its probiems. Many people regard the spirit the spirit of the university as dangerous but it is only buoyant and bold. Following Mrs. Haskell, Prof. Chas. R. Lanman of Harvard spoke most delightfully on some reminiscences of his Academy days. This is the fif- tieth anniversary of his graduaticn. He recalled the stirring days of 1863 to 1867 when the Civil war was going on and the Academy became a mili- tary school. He paid tribute to tho teachers of those days and spoke in very happy vein of the sports and frolics and work. In closing he said “Don't be a quit- ter. Stick to the thing you realy believe in. Nothing pay—nothing value! Perhaps we've always got to pay to keep our ideal of frecdom. For the class of 1892 Miss Touise Howe presented $100 Liberty bond to the Academy instead of having their banquet. The class of 1912 reported a reunion to be held Saturday the Lawrence Stanley, 19 behalt of his class. Mr. Tirrell spoke of the eternal fountain of youth to be found in every heart in its memories. Only yesterday you and I were voung, boys and_giris. We renew our vouth tonight. Every school is youns. We hope to ke=p the spirit of the Academy same as ever, Mr. Tirrell announced with regret he resignation of Miss Faith Bon- foey.

The defensé council has a committee, of which former Gevernor Weeks as its work the great task of co-or- dinating the many agencies which are doing war work of one kind or anoth- er and to this committée the many re- plies to the circular aiready received have been referred. by the defense counecil. the objects of the state counci! and its relations to the federal government as an arm of the Couneil of Nation: their eommunities, so that duplications might be av aroused and ITS PATRIOTISM.

The re- plies have made it plain that the pa- triotism of Connectieut has . been that there are a great number “doing their bit” to the limit of their time and ability. The defense council is anxious to hear from all organizations or groups which are engaged in patriotic work, in order that the repltes telling what each is doing may be referred to Former Goévernor Weeks' committee, of which Rev. Dr. J. J. McCook is a membet, and for wpich several addi- tional members soon will be named. A few of the replies arready receiv- ea indicaté the spirit with which Con- necticut people are facing the problem before them. For instance, Rev. Ly- man 8. Johnson of New Britain, a Civil War veteran who served with General Joseph R. Hawley's famous Seventh C. V., has written the coun- cil that, although he is in his eigh- teenth year and has been forced into the retired list under the advice of physicians, he has taken up the work of Captain Clarence M. Thompson of Company H, First Connecticut In- fantry, allowing Captain Thompson to Join the colors without reeling that his work wiil not be taken care of In his absence. Captain Thompson is secre- tary of the Connecticut Prison associ- ation and his duties consist of talking with the men who leave the state pris- on at Wethersfleld and starting them on the right track when they regain their freedom. Mr. Johnson, in his letter, says, “I deem this a temporary appointment, but for the time being it releases one for active service. If there is anvthing else I can do to aid the country in its present erisis, 1 hope to be responsive to your call.” Dr. R. M. Griswold of Kensington, who represented the town of Berlin in the legislature of 1615, has written that he is 64 vears old but is ready to serve in Any capacity for, which he is fitted. ide says that h3 is enrolled for service as coast pilot between Bos- ton and Stamford and 1s ready to take up that line of work if he can take the place of a younger man needed to g0 somewhere elso. He is also quali- fied, he says, for work as Instructor in farget or rifie work, or service in a base hospital. His son, Dr. M. F. Griswold, is with the Medical Reserve corps at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Judge Epapnroditus Peck of Bris- tol has written, “If the Connecticut Couneil has any work in Bristol (or out of it) to which they would like to assign me, I shall be glad to un- dertake it, if within my powers” E. G. Buckland of New Haven, an official of the New Haven road, i al- ready acting as chief of railroad trans- portation for the Home Guard under appaintment by the Military Emergen- cy Board and writes that he is ready to offer his services for any place he may be able to fill.
