 Passengers on the through train to New York, leaving New London al 357 started from their seats in sur. prise as the train pulled into the New London station. One hundred girls, in gay attire, with flags and banners, filled the depot, singing Justify and with smiling faces. Upon learning that Dr. Frank E. Morris, who has enlist ed in the psychological department of medical work at Fort Ogelthorpe, Ga, was to leave at that time. every stu dent who was not scheduled for a class and many who were scheduled for a class hastily took the car for 1 the station.
 College songs, popular war songs and songs made up at the moment were practiced on the car down town and the girls marched down to the station one hundred strong in two straight lines to cheer off the depart ! with their songs and cheers. Gay repartee and cheering was the pass word but under cover lay the deep re- gret that the college was to be de- prived of it's most popular professor and that the work in psychological courses would be finished without this competent instructor.
 | The American flag and the class flags were waved until the train was out of sight and another episode of col lege life was completed.
