CONNECTICUT COLLEGE
 FOR WOMEN OPENED
Gov. HOlcomb and President Sykes Head Academic
 Procession.

New London, Oct. 9.-The Connecti- cut College for Women was opened to- day with exercises in Thames Hall, which is one of the main buildings in the present group which constitute the college settlement. There was a luncheon, following which a number of prominent guests extended con- gratulations to the trustees and faculty, and made short addresses. Prior to this hour there had been an inspection of the grounds and new buildings. The guests to the lunch con were marshalled into an academic procession at New London hall and headed by President Frederick Fl. Sykes and Governor Marcus H. Hol- comb, it proceeded to the new flag staff on the campus and thence to Thames hall Among those in line, it was expected, would be the presi- dents of several universities, and CO., educational institutions and women's colleges, officers of the state, New London municipal officers and a num- Der of citizens who had identified
 themselves with the establishment of the college, including Morton F.
 Plant, whose liberality made possible the erection of Plant and Blackstone houses. for dormitory purposes, in memory of his father and mother, and for the accomplishment of other inn portant tasks. After the luncheon MT. Plant was given the honorary de- gree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa.
 The Connecticut College for Women was given a charter by the general assembly of 1911, and it was the fruition of movement begun three years before by members of the Hart ford College club, who, as they ex- pressed it, believed the time was ap- propriate for the arousing of public sentiment in behalf of a new college for women in state. This movement quickly received a hearty response from other college women, and finan- cial assistance was quickly promised. Meetings followed at which possible sites were discussed and considered and the incorporators on January 14. 1911, voted to accept the offer of a site rendered by the city of New Lon don. The charter was received in the following April.
 The college has an endowment of about million and a half dollars. Of this amount MT. Plant has contributed $1,125,000, the city of New London $1O0,000 and the balance has come from individuals in small amounts.
 Professor Frederick H. Sykes of Co., lumbia university was chosen presi- | dent by the trustees in 1913, and since l that time he has personally looked | after the organization of the college | administration. The first class of l young women number 125 and it has I already been enrolled.

 THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. - Score. tary Houston's annual report places an estimate of s9,S7S,OO0,OOO on the value of American farm crops and animal products for last year, valu- ation without precedent. This, how ever, probably will be eclipsed by the present years showing.
 This valuation is an increase of about $S3,OOO ,OOO over the value of 1913, hitherto the highest ever re- corded. The increase occurred in the face of a decline in cotton from 125 cents a pound for the 1913 crop to an average of 7.3 cents for 1914. The total value of the 1913 cotton crop, estimated at $S46,OOO,OOO, was s2S3,- 00O,O00 more than the 1914 crop, all though the latter was fourteen per cent greater in quantity, l,
