Roberts, '23, told a little OF her sum-
mer experiences Miss Roberts be-
gan with a trip TO Washington. Then
the next item was the trip TO Boston
from Baltimore on the. boat. Miss
Roberts had as travelling companion
Miss Dorothy Wolff and her sister.
Miss Wolf was instructor in biology
at the Women's College last year.
/ This year she Is teaching at Wilson
College. Miss Roberts failed to find
/ the beauty OF sea travelling and saw
1 the Boston harbor most joyfully-
She spent some time with Miss Wolf
before taking up her summers
work at Woodshole where she taught
the blind son OF DR.. Robert Lilly. who
/ Is the head OF the great laboratory
/ for biological research there. DR..
Lilly Is one OF the foremost scien-
lists OF America. Mrs. Lilly is no
less a character but her work is less
known for she hates publicity. Even
/ in her conversation she finds throngs
to talk about instead OF people. on
farm near Chelsea she supports a
number OF needy families and edu-
icates the children until they arc
able to take care OF themselves and
their mothers.
The blind boy was also a remark
able person. He can swim, sail a
boat. play the piano beautifully-in
/ fact he can do almost everything ex-
cept see. Miss Roberts taught him
French. In addition she taught him
to write. He Is eighteen but never
before had even attempted to write.
Due to Miss Roberts efforts. he now
writes very legibly. Miss Roberts
advised the girls to try to associate
with those people above and below
them in social position for contact
with the world in this way means so
4, very much.
on Tuesday DR.. w. T.. Bevan told
OF his trip TO Italy this summer He
spoke OF his trip as Rip Van Win
] kle's journey, for he had not been
in italy for fifteen years He plan
ned to make this a real vacation and
to revisit his former haunts. He, too.
had the fear that in such long alb
scnce he might have lost his sensi-
tiveness 10 the beauty OF Italy. De-
Gliding what TO revisit and what to
pass by in Italy was a hard Ques-
ton. one OF the famous guide books
devote three large volumes to Italy.
Naples and the ruins at Herculaen-
cum and Pompeii are we'll worth
visiting. Rome, the Eternal City. Is
always Of much interest. but Rome
is rapidly becoming a modern city.
Or. Bevan finally decided on Flor
! ence as the possible place to spend
| his vacation. The nucleus OF the
city Of Florence is the old medieval
town which has changed very little.
| This gives n cross-section OF medieval
life. Florence especially gives tho
artistic life of the fourteenth con-
tury Perhaps no other one city
has contributed so much to art as
| Florence. There are three galleries
full OF paintings done by Fforentine
artists; another gallery for the worl,
OF the sculntors. As well as these
art treasures in the galleries. Flor.
ence presents the beauties OF Ital.
ian church architecture. Before DR.
Bevan could really begin talking O.
