How They Got Acquainted.

One hundred and fifty of the Woman S
college students spent pleasant hour
Friday night in getting acquainted at a
reception given III Goucher hall 10 the
new students by the Young Woman S
Christian association. Nearly every one
present had her name engraved on Wis
iting card or written on piece Of pa
per, pinned to her dress, and in this way
the formalities of an introduction were
dispensed with and everybody knew
everybody else's name in short order.
There was a reception committee, and
the girls who comprised il found their
most active duty TO be that of seeing
that the old students present made a
point of talking with the new ones and
did not get off into corners with their
"chums" Of last year. Members of the
college faculty were the sole representa-
tives of the sterner sex present In their
dark, sober suits they looked out of
place in the midst of so many dresses of
bright colors. But they kept the CONVEX
sation ball rolling merrily, and each of
them was the center of group of girls.
Among them were President Goucher,
Dean Van Meter, Professor Thaddeus
