their annual Thanksgiving dinner
in their dining room, decorated
tastefully and costly. yet every
thing was simple and Puritanicai,
the true spirit Of the first Thanks

his most happy manner, introduce
ing the speakers tactfully and
with pleasantries most entertain

John Aldens. gave very concisely
the attitude Of the Puritan maiden,
Priscilla. Thomas Baird replied
with a toast 10 the Priscillas, say
ing all the conventional nice things
and giving a large number which
were quite original. The toast 10
the faculty was given by William
Eccles in his quiet and sedate man
ner which at once disarmed the
faculty and led them in captivity
forth. The program was c0nclud-
ed by Miss Bundy in toast TO the
feast which was a fitting climax.
For the students OF the College De-
nartment this dinner was a suita-
BILE ending for q perfect holiday.

ated their many mistakes. and told
how they would improve them II
they but had the chance which
youth alone gives; Of the new aims
and the high aspirations that they
would have and ~ the things that
they would try 10 accomplish. One
OF them turned TO me and said. "You
have been silent during this discus
sion. What would you do II yon

was just eighteen and was inter-
ested in what I had heard them
saying.
