ssVassar College as 1t

Large Audience Enjoys Witt
cis1ns Dealing With Every
day Life of Students


"vassar College as It Is and Isn't"
was the subject Of metrical exposi-
ticn last night at the Town Hall given
for the benefit Of the $3,000,000 fund
for professors salaries.
Professors didn't figure very extern
sively in the "Follies" of freshman life
as represented in song and dance, but
other tragedies Of college life were re-
veaied, such as the invaaion of seniors
selling radiators and seats in chapel,
and the plight Of the girl whose dance
partner turned out to be six inches
shorter than herself. The Vassar prom
girl of 1870 had her turn and the
"highly grammatical, awful emphatical,
regular radical girl" of to-day.
President Henry Noble McCracken
took hand in the general levity and
hawked Vassar candy and hair nets
from the stage between acts. He an
nounced that the fund already had
reached So 100000 and that 5000 alum
na and 5000 young girls registered to
enter Vassar were working to raise the
additional million. The fund will be
used to raise the salaries Of the college
professors to the same level as New
York City high school teachers receive
A large and high-spirited audience
applauded the college witticisms. The
play was given under the auspices of
the class of 1915 and was written by
Lois Long, Virginia Archibald and Mar
garet Lowell. 1t will be repeated to-
morrow evening.
