Too Much FrivoIity

There are too many teas and balls,
too much f1utter and nervousness and
pressure and intensity. especially in the
beginning of the year. There are too
many social distractions. I congratulate
you on the opening of College hall as
the first womens dormitory. If that
succeeds, as believe it will, more will
follow.

or the dormitory is better for a woman,
certainly, than the boarding house The
woman needs it more than the man.
The woman is the great lconserva tive

standards OF idealism. Her influence is
felt all through the college as a moral
