CONNECTICUT COLLEGE

OVAS4NAAS . AS - 4 - v NAAAAA <SAA
 The college is just getting settled | into routine again after Mondays celebration and recalling with great | glee the proceedings of ''peace' day.
 The sirens and whistles woke the col | lege up at o'clock on Monday morn
 ing and within five minutes The Star Spangled Banner was re-echoing l throughout the granite buildings. lm-
 promptu breakfasts were prepared by l many of the students, while others
 lay down again to wait until daybreak
 Several adventurous ones ventured to
 town early in the morning to get full | details for breakfast announcements. 1
 No one was late for breakfast Mon ! day morning and songs and cheers came from all corners of the big din- ] ing hall One table would give a l cheer and the next table would give one better; SO that in all breakfast i proved a most exciting meal, especially after it was announced that there would be no classes for the day. At chapel service at 9 o'clock after the usual ceremony of the. morning ex- 1
 ercises Dr. David D. Leib, registrar and acting president, announced sus- gestions for the celebration and the colleges plans in it. A meeting of the | students was held immediately after, at which the students decided to. join l in the big parade in New London in l the evening and to have huge bon l fire on campus after the parade.
 l At 7.S0 o'clock 260 students, attired
 in dark skirts, white middies and red | ties hatlesS and coatless, marched into town, with the faculty in caps and | gowns at the head of their division, and a college band to lea1 tue proc 2s- sion. The appearance of the college 1 body and their uniformity in marching l and appearance excited enthusiasm all 1 along the line of march. and tue col
 lege division was much applauael
 After marching back tC college, the 1 students were served with q light lun l cheon and then grouped around the huge blazing bonfire on the lawn by the fiagpole. It was after Il when the last fagot burned low and the students ended the days events.
 Tuesday came with tests and assign
 ments unprepared but the facn'ty evj- dently believed in the doctrine Uf peace and suspended closes for the day Several classes were conducted but ill
 the form of informal discussions rather than class work, and the terms of the peace alliance were the popular
 phases of discussion. But. the excite
 ment and the effects of the hike to and
 from towh and the parade were evil dent and many of the students were
 ,limping about campus or resting up
 for the afternoon.
 Practically every quarantine rule was broken on Monday and practically
 every student in college was q. culprit.
 The forbidden joys of eating at the ho- tel. autoing, having callers, going 10 ! dances and such college joys wcso welcomed into the midst of the day $ excitement owing to the suppressed l enthusiasm of the last few weeks and
 a misunderstanding of college deCreas , of the day. Many students understood l that all rules were to be suspended . for the day and were unconscious sin ners and none offended through pur[ intentions of wrong doing. Culprit$ l were required to report to the chair man of the executive committee of the ] student government committee anC 5 Thursday evening the chairman had :: an impossible number of confessions l It is not thought that any action vii 3 be taken owing to the day and the : causes. The infringement on rules
 was not serious as regards the neces-
 sity of the quarantine rules but were
 against the precautions taken to safe r guard the college from influenza.
 A concert for the allied drive cam : paign was held on Tuesday evening bS r r a group of students. The concert wat , | held m the gymnasium rom [ to Il ! and was a splendid success artistically E and financially. The gymnasium wa: II filled with the students and faculty = who thoroughly enjoyed the offering! . of the attractive program. It was th' first time that a strictly student re
 cital had been given, and the colleg, s !. body were glad of the opportunity t A witness college talent and to encour
 age it. The concert was informal, tn, T. stage was arranged to represent K drawing room and an old rose shaded II standing lamp furnished the only ligh
 in the hall
