of learning its first blind student, Miss
Genevieve Caulf1eld of Haverstraw, N.

at Trinity, and by a peculiar coinci-
dence next door neighbors In the cor
ridor. After three brilliant years at
Trinity. Miss Caulfield found 1t neces-
sary to spend year in New York,
where she accordingly entered the
senior class Of Columbia University.
from which she was graduated the fol-
lowing June. In a few months Miss
CauIfeld sails for Japan. where she
will render much valuable service to
the schools Of that country by intro
ducing into the curriculum American
methods for the instruction of the
blind.

for the Blind in Baltimore. two stu
dents are preparing to enter Trinity;
one in 1915, and the other three years
later. If this takes place. 1t will give
rise to another surprising fact-name-
ly, that from the year 1910 to the year
1923 there will have been in attendance
at Trinity for thirteen years in un-
broken succession four blind students,
and yet Trinity is but fifteen years old"
