CONNECTICUT COLLEGE

Connecticut College closed for the Easter recSss Thursday at noon and will reopen. April 9th, at 8 o'clock classes. All day Wednesday trunks lined the railways of the dorrnitories while suitcases and their intended contents filtered the students rooms. No student was supposed to leave for the holidays until her last scheduled class had been attended and each iS1 on her honor to return for her first class after Easter. For the past two years the Student Government Asso- ciation has ben practising the plan of having students sign up for their last class and first class but haste and oversight rather took the place of thoughtfulness in this respect, so that Christmas time if a student cut class the system has been abandoned. es before and after the vacation with pused for a week or two in accord ance with. the serverity of her offense. However. with faculty supervision of | the cutting system around vacation times, a more set aspect comes into ] play, the outcome of which will be | watched with interest.
 Practically every stuGent left col i lege Thursday for her respective home while many of the girls living l in the western states left college 1 Wednesday morning.
 l The fact that Connecticut College Is raising $2,000. GOO for maintenance and endowment was very much in ev- idence on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad all day We'd | nesday and Thursday. Each student had suitcases and bags trunks and other impedimenta much belabeled with stickers of all description, to bear witness that Connecticut College for Women was raising $20O0,000 for maintenance and endowment. The stickers are oval. done in black and white and are quite striking. Whenever passengers on pullman or l coach inquired as to the meaning of l the decoration and publicity, as though
 simple words would not tell the story 1 effectively, a group of gorls, ten or twenty at time would sing songs to l inform the passengers what the ex- 1 citement was all about. So. that
 practically every passenger on every 1 express and local train from Boston to New York and through, to Wash ington on Thursday knew that Con l necticut College was out to increase cits vitality and strength and had gotten pretty much, interested in the Ecause, impelled to attention by the I force win which enthusiastic students
 presented their object.
 No definite plans have been made by I the students in regard to the raising of the fund but there have been many suggestions and there will be many
 more in the weeks following the va
 cation, The cast of the French play

 versity. are talking about giving the
 Hay at Yale University and laeer al
 Hartford for the benefit of the col

 procedure is rather questionable, re-
 earded from sources other than col
 legiate but the matter rests entirely
 in the hands of tte cast. President
 Marshall has given his consent to the
 move but nothing definite has beer
 decided.
