 Site for New College.
 Nothing has been done as yet in reaching a final decision for the site for the state women's college, several places being offered about the state, including the Charles H. Brown place, Riverside, at Gales Ferry.
 In letter to Charles l. Smith, pres- ident of the Norwich Business Mems association, Miss Elizabeth c. Wright, chairman Of the committee on women's 3 college states that the committee has decided to place the matter of settling on site in the hands of 8 board of incorporators. She writes as follows regarding the matter:
 we have decided that it was fairer to the whole state to elect board of fifteen incorporators from different parts of Connecticut, and 10 refer to them the question of site as well as all other business pertaining to the college. until the charter is granted by the legislature
 'I am glad that your association is taking such an interest in the project and I hope the plan of incorporating will be satisfactory to all.'
