Tuesday afternoons took the form OF

W. C. A. financially il the organiza-
lion decides to sell hair nets. Miss
Agnes Snyder's class in Psychology
has not only been listening to lee
lures but has had taste Of the in
Irrespective method OF psychology eN-
pertinent. Some of the girls have de-
cided that they must have no minds
but. of course. that is an exaggera-
Jon. The Freshmen are busily writ

Play has begun. too. for MISS
Marian Parkhurst, instructor in
phycical education. has already be-
gun to instruct the freshmen on the

President Hullihen was to have
spoken during the chapel exercises
on Wednesday, As DR.. Hullihen
found it impossible TO be present he
sent DR.. Edward Jones, rector OF
the Episcopal Church at Newark, 10
bring a message to the girls. DR.
Jones spoke mainly to the freshmen,
but all the girls found help and
inspiration in his talk. DR. Jones
spoke Of the real meaning Of edu-
cation. In the first place, education
means readjustment. It means a
change from the provincial outlook
to more broad-minded point Of
view. 1t means the use of more
self-control; IL means new kind OF
discipline Education means oppor-
aunity-opportuni to decide how

souander 1t in frivoiity or to At one
self for true life OF sservice to
mankind Education means new an
precautions OF personality Of life. In
the life Of, every young man OF
young woman who guess through
college with vidc-open eyes, there
comes a period when old beliefs.
especially in religious life. seem TO
be slipping away and there is Moth
inc to cling to To think the sub
iect through to the fundamentals is
the only solutions. The funda-
mental truths are always the same.
The Interpretation Of these truths
may change, but the fundamentals
remain the same Lastly, the end
Of education is character. Ohar-
acter does not come from reading
books. but from the contact OF one
personality with another. This leaves
duty both to student and TO in
structor. the duty to live so that in
our daily lives we help others, as
well as ourselves.
