On wednesday morning during the
chapel period. Dean Robinson read
a number OF poems by Harry Kent
This poet started out 70 see the
world with twenty-five cents in his
pockot. His many and varied eN-
periences he describes in his poems.
Dean Robinson read from the vol
unse "Chantorys and Ballads" Many
Of these poems are poems OF the
sea. These are particularly good.
The girls enjoy hearing the modern
poets when they are studying the
older poets.
Dean Robinson addressed the stu
dent body on Wednesday evening IN
the chapel room. she began her talk
by saying that at one time she had
read a story called the Charm
school" College is really a charm
school Here the girls should de-
veion their charm as we'll as their
brain. Dean Robinson congratu-
lated the girls on the simple way
in which they dressed and the man
ner in which they greeted guests
which as she said was truly charm
ing. Dean Robinson then told the
girls a few OF the little things such
as calling from the first floor to
the third floor. which might cause
the world TO think that the Wo-
mems College was not Charm
school. Charm may surely be de-
veloped and every woman may be
charming II she wishes to be and
remembers the things which make
for charm and those which do
not
The girls always appreciate these
talks OF Dean Robinson. She al
ways brings some helpful Ideas and
mixes praise and blame so delight
fully that the girls all make a reso-
luton 70 reform.
