CONNECTICUT COLLEGE

derfully attractive in the fall, but | during the winter months. the college campus with it's broad, unprotected and unbroken range of fields and woods, is the coiGest and most wind beaten spot in New England.
 The college has felt the disadvan- tages of it's high location, and its openness these past months as never before; in the last blizzard, classes were called off. students forced to re~ main in the dormitories because of heavy drifts and winds and the col 1ege completely cut off from connec- tion with surrounding towns and vil- lages.
 Wednesdays snow storm did not affect the college very seriously; but the gales which have been blowing continuously for the past twenty four hours have swept the campus mereilessly. At times it seemed as though the granite dornitories them 1 strength of the winds. Classes have been held, however, without inter I ruption and access to the lormitor ! ies dining hall and recitation halls i has net been blocked by the drifts 1 which are evident about the campus,
 The faculty who reside in New London have had rather trying ex- 1 periences in daily travel to and from /; the college owing to the irregular
 schedule of the trolleys. As a rule 1 the professors have been forced to walk the two-mile stretch between ! the town and the college and as the l journey from town is up hill and i against the wind the experience these
 past days has not been particularly.
 enjoyable.
 Considering the extreme weather, l there are few cases of sickness at | college at the present time. The health of faculty and students is ex- cellent and there has been little or no ! interruption of college work because l of illness on the part of the instruc- l tors or a majority of students. The | unpleasant experiences of the past 1 year, with it's numerous quarantines have had no duplicates this year a 5 ] yet and it is hoped that recurrence l of an enforced quarantine will be avoided at the college during its sub 1 sequent history. l Append citis has called for a great
 many operations this year. the stu dents affected being for the most part members of the upper classes. In
 fiuenZa CT any contagious disease is : treated at the hospitals in New Lon
 don and not at the college and a stu
 dent showing symptoms of a suspic-
 ious illness is, immediately removed
 to the hospital for examination by
 the college physician and doctors in town. Students have been prompt in i reporting any symptoms and this fact
 has been a great factor in keeping up
 the health of the students.
 The senior class book the Koine, is in the annual process of preparation
 for distribution in June. The staff is 1 ,cyiY, rr

 of this sort As an innovation this
 year, the senior class voted to have i the write-ups of class members. which are placed under individual pictures, submitted by the class ra- l ther than by the editorial staff of the ''Ko;ne." At a meeting held recent

 mfttee appointed to arrange the
 names, and at the end of the meeting
 when each senior was leaving ths
 room, she drew a name from the box of classmate whose press agent she
 was to be.
 The idea which was nut into op- ! eration this year for the first time f has not as yet proved it's worth but il IS TtH9USIfL TOT lIlR BfftIt llltt tI!s 1 arrangement is ideal. Each 2 Fl, ir
 the class is represented in tho hook
 by material contributed individually
 So that the book is really the senior book and represents the. work Of tho
 entire class rather than that Of 2 staff It also takes a great deaf ot
 work away from the editorial staff
 as the write-ups for the individua'
 names. like place cards only longer l 4
 girls are required to, write seventy
 or more. To the argument that some girls are not capable of writing ur
 classmates. the reply is readily made that college seniors should be capa-
 h1e of writing commendable state
 ments and lack of this accomplish i ment denotes lack of training in thu
 requisites of college woman. A Bos- Il ton photographer has completed his Il first s-ttings at the college and the
 proofs are being received daily Re sittings will be given the first of next
 week to students who are not satis- fled with the first results. Art de
 signs and original work for the
 'Keine" is almost completed and it is
 expected that the material for the
 hook, copy, D ctures, and advertise
 ments will be in the hands of the printer by the first of. April at the
 latest.
