the president presided. The officers and committees were reelected. Mrs. Robinson declined her reelection on account of her long absence in the South. Mrs. Charles Searls was elect ed to fill her place. Mrs. Robinson was then elected as honorary president. Mrs. Robinson announced a gift of S1,500 from David Yale Tanning, of Worcester for a room in Windham House, in honor of Miss Mary Dexter of Danielson. which gives the associa- tion $12,000 toward its dormitory, s75 of which has been contributed by MT. Tanning, the good angel of Wfndham House.
 If the citizens of Windham county felt as high an appreciation of the noble object for which the Windham County Association is working, as MT. Tanning, who is not a Windham coun- ty man, Windham House, would be rising on its foundation and would be ready to house the class of 1917.
 Miss Josephine Sutton, secretary to President F. H. Sykes, gave a most in- teresting address on the aims and needs of the college and brought her audience into intimate touch with the happy daily life of the students. She closed with pathetic appeal for funds for the necessary present needs of the college and especially for Wind ham House. which is painfully needed, as the three dor1nitories are over crowded and girls are turned away because there is no room for them. Why should this be-when Connecti- cut has plenty of money? Are the men and women of our state less in- terested in this college for women, than in the colleges for men? Is it because they do not understand how imperative the need is? That this college has met the crying needs of the girls of the country in general has been proven by the fact, that this year has brought girls from Vassar, Wellesley and other colleges at the end of two years in these above col leges to Connecticut College for the vocational training which is a dis tinguished feature of it's curriculum
 The second birthday of Windham County Ae7ociation of Connecticut College closed with a social hour. Dainty refreshments were served by the gracious hostess.
