THE 1915 CHAUTAUQUA IS
NOW MATTER OF HISTORY

the Chautauqua, when in the afternoon
some Eve or six hundred students and
faculty adjourned to the park to enjoy

trophy, was, repeated as part Of the
program and was accorded generous
applause.

expression class, was called from her
home in Eckelson to give number
