 FOR SCHOLARSHIP.
Norwich College Club Names Commit
 tee fer the Work,

At the meeting of the College club held Monday afternoon in Slater hall, with Miss Louise C. Howe, president in the chair. plans were discussed for an entertainment to be held after Eas ter for the purpose of raising funds to send some Academy girl to the Con- necticut College for Women. The com mittee appointed os as follows: Miss Bonfoey, chairman Mrs. Allyn L. Brown Miss Sutton, Miss Jane Bill, Mrs. Edward J. Graham, Miss Gather inc Beckely and Miss Marion Pullen.
 The following report was presented by Miss Newton. chairman of the ex- ecutiVe committee.
 Recognizing the fact that though we as individuals desire to give per sonal support each to our own college, vet as a college club we could not be partial to any one of them: but realiz- ing also that we could not better show our loyalty to that for which as a club of college women We are proud to stand than by uniting the impulses of all our alma matters. to lend our in f1uepce and our efforts for the new Connecticut College for Women which will not only bring it's benfits and op portunities almost to our doors, but will stand for something new and hitherto unprovided for in womans S training, will fill an unfuled want for romans education and be distinctly in the line of progress in view of these things the committee decided to, recommend that the College club go on record as in sympathy with the aims and inception of the new college and adopt some means of more definitely and actively offering its friendliness and support.
 We would recommend first and fore most that 8. publicity committee be appointed whose object shall be to Keep the college in peoples minds by conversation. cores spondence, by ire uuent press notices or in any other way that occurs to their fertile minds; and particularly to attempt to interest peo- pie of means to, give largely for the Sunds for it's buildings: rather espe- cially to approach to this end people of Norwich or Norwich connections that possibly through the efforts and as result of our Norwich College club a Norwich ha1l'' may have it's place on the college campus. Thus we might combine to do something for Norwich as well as for the new college. The executive committee proposes as the personnel of this publicity com Tnittee Miss Elizabeth Huntington, chairman. Mrs. Lucius Brown. Dr- Els ther B. Woodward. Miss Helen Mar shall. Miss Mary Avery, Miss Anna Gilbert, Mrs. William H. Oat. Mrs Shepard Palmer, Miss Helen Newton, Miss Louise Howe (ex-officio).
 Tea was served after the business meeting by Mrs. Charles L. Stewart Miss Avery and Mrs. Shepard B. Pal nler.
