BOvvdOim College Notes.


good sized audience assembled in the
lecture room of the medical building Tues
day evening to listen to the discourse by the
venerable Professor Packard on ''Remnis-
ences of the College," The worthy gentle
man spoke for over an hour, going back to
the time when he was a boy in 1907. He
portrayed his life in college as a student,
from 1912 to 1916, the incidents of his tutor
ship. which began in 1919, and the important
events of the beginning of his duties as Pro-
fessor in 1925. The subject was listened to
with interest from beginning to end. The
condition of the student of the early days of
the college, when the carpetless floor. I'M
papered walls, open fireplace and cherries
rooms were in vogue, were compared with
those of the student of the present day
Many personal recollections of President
Appleton. Professor Cleaveland. Franklin
Pierce and some other students were
present A few historical facts were
given, concerning the library and the
old Athenian and Percinian societies
Occasional chances at the town and people
of the early DAYS were offered. The lecture
abor nded in many pleasant side remarks, hui
morous sayings and witty hits. and proving
remarkably enjoyable, entertaining and in
structing. it was highly appreciated by all
those present.
