The annual meeting of the Nor wich Free Academy alumni took place in Slater Hall Monday evening with a large attendance.
 After several selections pleasingly rendered by the Academy orchestra, the meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. Frank 4. Mitchell. The secretary's annual report wbs read as was also the treasurer's. The report of a special meeting held in October at which it was voted to give $10O for instruments for the Academy was given.
 of welcome to all those alumni who were present and spoke of the neces- sity of the support Of the alumni as well as the trustees to promote the best interests of the Academy and the need for financial as well as mo- ral support.
 Mrs Willis Austin spoke of Liberty bonds and wished ratified the vote purchase a s100 Liberty bond. It was so voted. The board had not pro- vided the usual ice cream for this annual meeting Tn order to help meet this obligation.
 Mrs. Mitchell introduced as the speaker of the evening Mrs. Henry s. Haskell or as she is perhaps better recognized. Mrs. Juliana Shields Has, kell of New York and Columbia col lege.
 Mrs. Haskell began her address by an unusually tender and deep-reach ing eulogy, most evidently prompted by the most sincere and understand ing affection and gratitude, of Robert Porter Keep. She spoke of all that his influence had meant in her life and of the impression left by his char acter. She also alluded to the loving and tender influence exerted by the beauty and strength of character of Miss Charlotte Gulliver
 Passing to the subject of her ad dress, Mrs Haskell spoke on Women, College Women Barnard Women.
 Time was when women entered into life and gainfuI occupations timidly and apologetically. Now women in the field of industry are commonplace, nay worse. they are a menace. They are a menace to the job, a factor to be rec1oned with.
 Between the two stages there has been some opposition, none so bitter as in England and in Germany, where the women are not desired by their families to go forth into the world to earn their own way.

 Some of the graduates have become preachers, writers, practitioners of medicine. Barnard stands for suf- frage.
