War Call Takes Professor Morris— Student Body Sees Him Off at the Railroad Station. if any the whirl of in which the Connec- s situated. lege campus, Long Is- land sound with its fleets of ships, the island forts, the shipyards and shipbuilding plants along the coast, the navy vard and the submyrine base with its forceful steady war work stand out prominently as features in the landscape. Camouflage battle- ships, yachts and submarines, in es, blacks, vellows, greens’ reds and blues are very evident on the Thames, the white trail of the torpe- do is an every day sight, the blast of the isiand guns in long and short dis- tance practice are common sounds. The changes in a year are hardly be- lieveable, Something of the atmosphere and in- deed mwuch of it, has woven itself in- to the college body and into the gray granitc walls which stand serene and placid above and overlooking the war- time preparations and actions. Classes have beer regular, work has been dil- igently attended to, and a deeper sense of duty of service and of seriousness has developed in the college with ex- ternal changes about. War work has been enthusiastical- Iy carried out; bandages have been rolled, motor and wireless courses have been taken up by students in spart moments, sweaters, scarfs, socks, and helmets have been knitted by the | score, butter, candy and wheat breads have been foresworn and each and ev- ery student has resolved to fit herself to be of servi either in reconstruc- tion work or in present government work if need be, Working faithfully day by day, the students little realize that the ser- vice flag of the college would soon hold a second star, to float from the college on the hill by the sea and that one of the most important depart- merts would be without a head. Although there had been some rumor to the effect that Dr. Frank E. Mor- ris of the psychology department was to enlist, the story had been dis- credited and the confirmation of the rumor came as a complete surprise to the college hody. Dr. Morris is a graduate of TYale university, 1913, and received a Ph. D. from Yale in 1915. For the past two vears he taught in the education department of Texas Unive\ity and was appointed“to the psychological department of Tennecticut college in 1917, Three weeks ago, Dr. Morris applied for enlistment in the psychological de- partment of government work and was accepted. A telegram received Tues- day ordéred him to report at Camp Few colleges in the country, are situated in ndition Oglethorpe, on Thursday morn- | ing. Leave of absence was granted | and Dr. Morris left college on Wed- nesday for Georgia. During his stay at the college, Dr. Morris has prov himself a capable, thorongh and painstaking instructor, thoroughly acquainted with his sub- jects and is accredited one of the most efficent as well as the most popular professor in the college body. During his stay at the college, he has made many friends and it is wth deep regret that students and faculty THAT UNEASY FEELING That dull depression, that dragged out spiritless condition—it’s bilious- ness.

State Convention—James Purdon Installed as Esteemed Lead- ing Knight of ‘Elks—Rebekahs to Present Service Flag 01 0. O.F. ] Activity is the keynote in the affairs of White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus at the present time .as the members are making elaborate preparations for the reception of the delegates to the annual state conven- in Norwich on Tuesday, May 14th. At a meeting of the council held Friday evening the committee of arrange- ments presented g report of the work which has been done to make the vis- it of the delegates one of pleasure and the convention of benefit to the order in the state. The exercises will open with an ex- emplification of the third or major de- gree of the order on Sunday, May 12th. Monday will be ziven over to sight- geeing and the delegates will be given an opportunity to see the various points of interest in and around Nor- wich. On Tuesday, May 14th, prior to the opening of the business session of the ccnvention the delegates will at- tend a solemn high mass in St. Pat- rick’s church at 9 o'clock. ¥ollowing the convention a dinner will be tend- ered the delegates at the Wauregan house, at 2.30. i Prior to the transacticn of busi- ness the first degree of the order was exemplified upon a class of eleven can- didates. Eight candidates were elect- ed to membership and four applica- tions for membership were received. The council accepted an invitation from Rev. Jos:ph Ford of Colchester to partictpate in the exergises inci- dental to the dedicating of a service flag, to be held on Sunday, May 19th, and James P, Sheridan, Jostoh P. Ga- dle and Thomas Coffey were appoint- ed a committee to arrange for the council taking part in the exercises. H. D. Buckley, M. J. Curra A Desmend, J. D. Pffiefer and liam B. Horrington were appointed a com- mittee to arrange for an exemplifica- hear of the extended leave of absence granted to one of their midst who has wor deserved praise and waspect. The psych®ogy department includes psychology. logic, education and phil- osophy and is a very important de- partment. Definite plans for the con- tinuance of the course, will be an- nounced in a few days. Passengers on the through train to New York, leaving New London at 3.57 started from their seats in sur- prise as the train pulled into the New London station. One hundred girls, in gay att're, with flags and Hhanners, filled ¢ depot, singing lustily and with smiling faces. Upon learning that Dr. Frank E. Morris, who has enlist- ed in the psychological department of medical work at Fort Ogelthorpe, Ga., was to leave at that time. every stu- dent who was not scheduled for a class and many who were scheduled for a class hastily took the car for the station. ‘Colleze songs, popular war songs and songs made up at the moment were practiced on the car down town and the girls marched down to the station one hundred strong in two straight lines to cheer off the depart- ing professor, and woke up the town with their songs and cheers. Gay repartee and cheering was the pass- word but under cover lay the deep re- gret that the college was to be de- prived of its most popular professor and that the work in psychological courses would be finished without this competent instructor. The American flag and the class flags were waved until the train was out of sieht and another episode of col- lege life was completed. College “Sing” For May Day. In accordance with the traditions of the college, the annual May day exer- c’ses were held on Wednesdav morning at seven o'clock. In spite of the rain and wind,” about two hundred stu- dents and many members of the fac- ulty gathered on the steps of New London hall to sing the hymn of praise and thanksgiving ®vritten by the first president of the college and set to music by Dr. Coerne of the mu- sic department. Grouped along the grey granite steps overlooking the Thames, and the pleasant landscapes of river farms and the open sea, the students sang heartily with the sense of happy fellowship and love which so marks all gatherings at the college. The Star Spangled Banner and the college song were added to the orig- inal programme and were sung as only a group of college girls could sing them. The custom of singing on May day ‘was instituted by th= first class of the college and it is hoped that it will al- ways be carried out. Desiring to make more of the May day exercises, President Marshall has instituted the custom of holding chap- el on May miorning on the quadrangle between the two dormitories of Plant and Elackstone and facing New Lon- don hzll The plan was carried out for the first time on Wednesday morn- ing and was a very impressive cere- mony. The faculty in caps and gowns marched from the gymnasium to the open square, the glee club stood on the bank in back of the faculty and the students grouped around about in a_circle. Hymns were sung and prayer offeréd. Miss Winona Young. the first president of the Student Gov ernment Associ on. read the invoca- tion ode written by Dr. F. H. Sykes at the time of .the opening of the colleze. Following the reading, Dr. Marshall read a prayer of Dr. Sykes which was responded to by the students. The Glee club rendered a selection, and America was the final song sung in chorus. Election Time. final balloting will be completed by Saturday.

Having worked on labor legislation | and labor problems for the pas < vears, previous, through college train- ing, peak on a subject which is of u versal and perplexing interest and spoke in a very interesting as well as instructive manner. One of the most important phases of work which tkw association s at present undertaking is reconstruction work now and after the war. Several departments of the governme have significd the desire to undertake the work but none have any power. The act now before congress, sanction a department to undertake the reconstruction work. The man in the hospital must be cheered up, must not be allowed to think that he is a hindrance to his family and a bur- den on society, but must be re-edu- cated to be able to take up his trade again when able. The situation of ten million men set on the labor market is a factor in re- construction work and the measures planned to offset an overwhelming supply were outlined as having con- gress pass a-law to keep drafted men in service until places of employment are open to them, or to provide com- pensation for the unemployed through no fault of their own.
