CONNECTICUT - COLLEGE Gypsy Smith, Jr., the popular evan- gelist who - is ‘conducting services at the Ceniral Baptist chureh, Norwich. was the principal speaker at the ves- per service at ~Connecticut college Sunday afterfnoon. The gymnasium, where the vesper services are held, the ecollege campus lacking 4 ehapel, was filled with stullents, fagulty and visitors who héard the swell known speaker with great interest and appre- ciation. The college choir in cap and gown, led by Dr. Louls Coeérne, direc- tor of musie at the college, furmshed the musical programme for the . ser. vicés, and occupled seats on the plat- form. One of the fundamefital principles of the college, since its .opening five years ago, has been the custom of {hnvh’\g speakers, representing' differ- ent religious denominatios, - conduct vespers at the college on Sunday aft- ernoons. The leading ministers and clergy of *New London, | Norwich, Hartford and New Haven hdve an- nually spoken at the vesper services, and several times during the semes- ters prominent philanthropists and leaders from larger cities and towns have been the guests of the col- lege on the weekly gatherings. - At- tendance at vespers on Sunday after- noon, at five o'clock, is not obligatory, but the services are always popular and well attended and add greatly to the college life lof the growing com- munity. Membership in the college choif is limited to forty and two Dpoints of academic credit are allowed for regular attendance at services'and rehearsals. Tryouts for the choir are held annually Mrs. John E. Wells, dramatic coach at the chllege, entertained faculty and students at afternoon tea at her home on Vauxhall® street, New London, on Saturday afternoon from 3-6. The house was attractively decorated with chrysanthemums and ferns.-and filled ith a steady procession of callege students throughout the _afternoon. Members of the faculty assisted Mrs. Wells in pouring and several mem- Vbers of the Dramatic club, assisted in serving. Mrs. Wells is_prestdent of the’ New Londen branch ‘of the Associa- tion of Collegiate Atumnae, and there were many members of the organ- ization present at the informal tea. Dr. Wells is professor of English at the college and one of the most pap- ular members of the faculty. A committee of three, consisting of Miss Helen Perry, of Nyack, N. Y, president -of the Student Government association, Miss Agnes Leahy, Nor- wich, . treasurer - of the association, and Miss Alice Horrax, president of Ithe senior class, entertained at tea in Plant House recentlén room, Friday afternoon from 3 to 5, for the benefit of the Convention Fund, which will defray’the expenses of delegates from the college to the Student Volunteer Convéntion. at Des : Moines, Iowa, in December. The Connecticut College News is conducting a discussion of current college matters through. a weekly fs- sue of its paver. Mach girl in col- lege is asked to show Tovalty to the college by expressing her opinion: on three vital questions which have aris- en on' the campus ‘Wwithin the last few weeks. The three propositions are: Is Connecticut College over-organ- ized? What Is Connecticut College Spirit? Is_there any such thing? 15 the Honor System a Success at the College? Should Tt be Discontinu- ed? As' is natural varied opinjons re- sult in the answers to the questfon- naires advanced by the. News. The #general sentiment is that the college is considerably over-organized with clubs and leagues; intentions are good, membership dues are good, but actual work and participation” in and aims and programmes of the clubs is nigh to impossible. There are among ‘the prominent clubs clatming full mem- bership: The French ctub, the Dra- matic club. the Mandolin club, the Literary club, History club, the News, the Service League. The Glee club and the Art Gujld have already gone out of existence. The complaint of thé students is that time for the clubs cannot be spared from college activities. Athletics are the one field that every Connecticut College girl feels called to irrestibly and other clubs and organizatiens are slighted when it is a case of mem- bership, active membership in the ‘Athleti¢ ‘Association or partisan clubs. ing_attention ,to existing . eonditions and so to needful remedies. Opinign: is unanimous on the hofor system is one of the lapdmarks of the insti- tution and one of its greatest attrib- utes; the honor system makes for in- dividual responsibility and capabili- ty, and its adyantages far surpass’its potential disadvantages. A bus service betwsen the college and New London has been established within the last few days and is prov- ing a success in solving the problems arising from’ unsatisfactory trolley schedules. . The bus leaves town at a convenient hour to convey. the stu- dents to the college in the morning and afternoon and also leaves thge college at noon amd in the afternBen at a convenient hour for students going to town' for shopping or returning to their homes, “Noche de Mayo,” a one-act comedy, by Pfofessor Carl C.

SATURDAY GOOD DAY ON SALES AT BOOTHS Saturday was a very good dav for the' booths on the sales of Christmas seals. Those in the center of the town reaped the benefit of the Satur- day shoppers, but Greeneville and Nor- wich Town..in_their more limited ter- ritory, made an excellent showins. At clowmg time on Saturday night the booths stood in the following order as regards the amount of money received. It will be interesting to see whether the last three days the campaign make any change in the order: Por- teous & Mitchell, Uncas bank. Phames bank, Greeneville, Boston store, post- office, Norwich Town, Wauregan house, West Side. Beside these booths, one was set up in Franklin one day last week at a fair which the ladies of the community were holding. A very good sum was realized and put to the credit of the Norwich hooths in spite of the fast ihat many Franklin people had atfeaay purchased from eonsignmenis of stamps gent directly from Hartford. The returns-from the theatres were remarkably large on' Saturday, reflect- ing the ererpy and_enthusiasm which the Community Center girls and the Ladies of Columbus are putting into the work. The Girl Scouts alse spent a busy day, making many trips back to headquarters to renew their supply of seals, COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO HEAR MISS SLATTERY On Dec. 16th at § o'clock the United church Sunday school will be host to all the church schaols of the county, when Miss Margaret Slattery gives an address' upon: Stars in the.
