SOCIAL SIDE OF CLIFF HAVEN.
Unanimity Of Spirit and Glow OF
Friendliness Peryades All.


| The social side Of life at Cliff Haven
has been unusually attractive this
week, so much so, in fact, that TINS
may be considered a week worthy or
an important place in the annals of the
summer school. Two functions stand
out as worthy of note, one the formal
reception rendered by the faculty of the
teachers institute to Mr.. Augustus s.
| Downing, third commissioner OF educa-
tion on Thursday evening, and the 9TH
er the grand ball given by Mr.. William
| H. Buckley of Albany on Friday even
| ing. Four other affairs of less magnifi-
cence, but equally enjoyable, were the
military euchre at the New York cot
tage No. 2, the reception to DR.. z. A.
Pace at New York cottage No. l, the
hop at the Champlain club, and the
campfire at the popular college camp.

ing httingly marked the close of the
! work of the teachers institute. 1t was
held in the spacious ballroom of the
| Champlatn club, which was trans
! formed by artistic decorations of bunt
ing and evergreens into a bower of de-
light. The guests were received by Mr..
Downing and Mr.. William f. OiCalla-
ghan, chairman of the reception COM
mittee, in the reading room of the club.
Greene's orchestra of Boston furnished
oellghtful music throughout the even
ing. No more elaborate social function
mas ever been given at Cliff Haven
than the ball Friday evening. The club
ball room was again the scene of fes
tlvity, but it was scarcely recognizable
so altered was it by the gorgeous dec
orations in use. Vari-colored electric
llghts, folds of bunting and flying pen
nants hid all that was familiar to the
eye. Rehind splendid screen of
palms sat Clark's orchestra which fur
nlshed inspiring music for the dance.
Inc reception to DIR. Pace at the New
YORK cottage took the form of an in
tellectual love feast between the rep
resentatives of the Catholic university
and the Catholic summer school. The
cIlef speaker was DR.. Pace himself
he spoke OF the ideals and aims of the
university and of it's possibilities in the
Iuture. He then proceeded to show how
a closer union between the university
ana summer school could result advan-
tageously to each. Other speakers were
rev William S. Kress, Cleveland, O.,
and Rev. John Talbot Smith and DR..
james j. Walsh of New York Each
spoke in praise of the work done at
liiH haven, not only along intellectual
INES, but also in the bringing together
OF cultivated Catholic men and wo-
men. Rather Kress recalled his stu
cent days at the Catholic university
When Archbishop Keane spoke of the
advantages of students rubbing up
against each other and added that such
process was one of the best accom-
panlments of life at Cliff Haven. This
ldea was also taken up by Father Smith
ana Dr. walsh. Both speakers insisted
on the good that must rebound to fhe
members OF the school from their inti-
mate contact with the many brilliant
catholic writers, orators and scholars
VINO annually come to Cliff Haven.
Inc best thing about all social life at
LIN raven whether in a brilliant af-
talr OF the evening or in the impromp-
tu gatherings on porch or in grove dur
ing the day, is the unanimity of spirit.
the glow of friendliness that pervades
all Likeness of tastes, of religion and
or ideas, forces the social side of life
here to high level. not subordinatine-
the intellectual or religious features.
but giving to them an attractiveness
that savors of delight.
Two lecture recitals on national mu-
SIC by Professor Camille Zeckwer. one
OF Ph1ladelphia's leading musicians,
were delightful features of this weeks
intellectual programme. Professor
ZeckWer was ably assisted by DR.. W.

church, Philadelphia An illustrated
lecture Of great International value
was given early in the week by DR..
sherman Williams of Glenn's Falls. n.

lectures on experimental psychology.
