Sykes of Columbia University, the re- gently elected president of Connecti- cut College for Women. His toplc was The Spirit of Youth.
 After congratu1ating the graduating class, MT. Sykes spoke of youth as the time of -ferment, conflict, uncer- tain effort, and random deVotions. He advised young women to seek to know themselves through literature through the study of characters like Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, George EIiot's Maggie TuIliVer, Thackeray' S Ethel Newcome. Of modern writers he praised especially as the expres- sion of the spirit of youth, the books of travel, essays and poems of Robert Louis Stevenson.
 He recommended young people to choose a vocation, not necessarily a paid vocation,thou the speaker held there is a dutiab1e value for life in the pay-envelope, but vocation that is the serious following of a talent or aptitude to its fruition in life. Fol low your talent, and it will lead you to a destiny, or at least a destination. Happy is the man who finds the thing he can really do, and thrice happy he who finds a place to do it in.''
 For training on the higher levels of activity, college of the right kind is the best place for the right kind of youth-for those who would do things.
 ''No such land of promise was ever before spread before the eyes of cap able, ambitious young women as lies before young women today. Women now realize that the college is their chance in life.
 ''The brief history of women's col 1eges since Vassar was founded in 1865 is a. glorious history-a new col 1ege every five years and all the wo- mems colleges taxed beyond their ca pacity. Connecticut began to provide for the higher education of men in 17O1 when Yale was founded; now it is setting seriously about the higher education of women. The new Con- necticut College will seek to provide amply and fully the demands of wo- men-both in academic education and technical education. A superb site, a generous endowment, the statewide e cooperation of women make the req lization already secure. The new college will open with two completed buildings in September, 1914, and its deve1opme ent will be steadily pursued.

History of Soap Business Built
 by Industry of One of CiIy'S Leading Citizens

Transfers were made yesterday through which Henry C. F'airchiId, president of the Fairchild & Shelton Co.,, manufacturers of soaps and other esaponifer@us substances at 3o5 to 3o7 service after 40 years of activity in the local business field. MT. Fairchild is still active and his retirement is not brought about through any in hrmfties. He feels that he. is entitled to a rest, which will be acknowl- edged by everyone who has known of the history Of the business for whose large development he is largely re- sponsible.
 In 1872 MT. Fairc1iId associated him self with the late John c. Shelton un- der the firm name of F'afrchiId & Shelton and purchased from Leroy Bar mum a soap factory on Thompson

 Many men now prominent fn the business of the city remember this old soap factory well, for as boys they were won't to obtain Eaalr ciEcuE money by picking up bones and selling them at the factory. The new firm be- gan to develop the business fmmsdl- ate1y. The manufacture of hard soap was added to the business, and the old time soft soap was abandoned a3 e product.
 In 1878 a disastrous fire destroyed the entire plant. The buslness Waa
 developing rapidly at this time and
 the fire was a. serious check The firm, with consistent enterprise, pur-
 chased the site now occupied on
 Housatonic. avenue and began the
 erection of a modern plant During
 this period the contracts of tho Hrm
 were filled and its customers supplied with difficulty through other factories notably those at Middletowns Conn.,
 Newark, N. J., Newburg, Y. F., and
 others In 1888 the plant on Housa- tonic avenue was ready for busiuesl and an era of great business prosperity for the firm followed. The business was extended until 1t covered a great CT part of the country. Frederick g. Fairchild, son of the retiring prcsl- dent was taken into the business. Tn 1902 MT. Shelton died and within two months Frederick Fairchild also sue cumb This left the senior member
 of the firm alone to conduct the year
 ly increasing business. He organized
 a stock company of which his brother, A. B. Fairchild was secretary ana
 treasurer. In 1910 the latter passed
 away leaving the original member
 again alone in the business. In the new company which sue ceeds to the business, Ralph Fair- child, son~of A.~B. Fairchild, will pres serve the family name.
 The officials of the succeeding com pany as announced to day are: A. s. Wells a well knonw local capitalist president; Matthew IT. Rogers, for Haer secretary of state. treasurer and
 general manager, and Ralph Bair- child, secretary.
 The trade of the company now eI- tends all over the United States and across the ocean. It has been extend ed until it comprises many articles in | common household use. It is now
 the only concern in the state of Con
 necticut of any importance which
 manufactures these articles.

ACCIDENT MARS
CREWS PRACTICE
Quaker Four Collided with Wiscon-
sin Four, but the Oarsmen
Are Rescued.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 16.-While
the crews preparing for the regattas
were on the river this morning, the
Pennsylvania crew got in some work.
The Quaker four-oared shell collided with
that of the Wisconsin four on the SYRIA
cuse boathouse, just north Of the bridge.
The bow OF the Pennsylvania shell was
STAYED in and the boat badly smashed.
the men were rescued and the shell was
towed TO shore by the Syracuse launch.
The wrecked shell was the only one
brought here by the Quakers. The Wis
cOnsin shell was unframed.
Another bit OF hard luck for Pennsyl-
vania: Garvin, No. 8, has dropped from
the varsity. He was sent home, suffering
with intermittent fever. today.
The intense heat interferred with work
this morning. All crews but Washing
ton were on the river in the forenoon,
but only took light practice.
This evening all but the Pennsylvania
four were on the river, the Washington
contingent rowing strongest.
The Pennsylvania shell is past all re-
pair and Wisconsin will loan Pennsyl-
vania a new boat if a new shell does not
arrive from Philadelphia in time for the
race next Saturday.
Syracuse has not struck her gait as
yet. and cannot make more than twenty
eight, evidently. Cornell was stronger
tonight, with Columbia close to the ltha-
cans.
Betting here makes Cornell favorite
for the varsity event
