Gathering for the first time in two
years, owing to war conditions, mem
bers of the Litchfeid County Univer-
sity club, numbering 200~college men
held their 22nd annual meeting at
Whitehouse, Norfolk, last Friday
evening as guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Stoeckel. That the meetings of
the club are occasions that are anti
cipated far ahead with a great deal
of pleasure may well be understood,
and Friday nights event was as fully
enjoyed as any in the past.
Norfolk was never more attractive
and one must indeed be dull not to
appreciate that here nature and man
have combined to make it one of the
most beautiful garden spots in the
world. e ...--..
The guests began to gather shortly
ceived in the library by the host and
hostess they passed out to the rear
porch and lawn and spent nearly an
hour in sociability before the bust
ness meeting was called to order by
the president, Judge Donald T. War
ner, of Salisbury. Owing no doubt
to the death of Miss Isabella Ed
ridge, cousin of the hostess, whose
loss in that community is felt very
keenly, the usual playing by. the
band was omitted.
On motion of Edward H. Boyd of
Woodbury., the proposed change in
article 8 of the constitution, extend
| ing the number of active members
from It's to 200, was voted. ID. L.
Vail of Winsted reported that the
club scholarship had been granted
the past year to George Warren of
the Gilbert school, Winsted, and he
judged the selection was good one,
as he had noticed Mr.. Warren's name
on the honor list at Yale. He thought
the prospects this year were good for
large number of applicants. Ow-
ing to a vacancy in the committee,
President Warner appointed Judge
James P. Woodruff of Litchfield a
member of the committee.
Reporting for the committee on
admissions, the acting secretary,
William B. Perry, Jr., of Lakeville,
said the committee had fixed upon
those who are eligible to active mem
bership under four heads, as follows:
| Members to include "a all-year resi-
dents; (2) legal residents; (3) sum-
mer or part-year residents, whether
legal members or not, who are now
members; ~ legal residents, who
because of health, official position or
some satisfactory reason are obliged
to temporarily reside outside of the
county. @ r..
To exclude as applicants for mem
bership % transient and occasional
residents; (2) those who remove
from the county except under class
a. .-. -.
In behalf of the committee on
membership, Mr.. Perry presented for
honorary membership in the club
one who, he said, by his efforts has
benefited the county, who by his
presence graces any occasion and
who will adorn the club, DIR. Arthur
Mees, orchestral leader at the choral
| festivals since 1899 and conductor
of the Litchfield County Choral
union for four seasons, 1916-1919,
