my spare time in the open. Every
weekend was spent at camp, where
l was out on the water from day

Boston with it's rush and noise.
l think the authorities would dc
well to make Ellsworth a permanent
summer school. The people do not
change with time; they are Just as
hospitable and thoughtful as they
were last year.-Porter.
"RACHEL'S" CREAM HIT HIM.
When I left Boston on July 5, a
hot, dusty day, for the Ellsworth
summer school, l had visions of a
pleasant vacation on the coast of
Maine, away from the heat and noise
| of the city. l had never been in
| Maine, but l had been told of the
wonderful scenery and healthful
| climate. l expected a good deal of
| Maine, and every one of my expec-
tations has been realized. l have
enjoyed every day of my stay. The
cordial way in which the people of
| Ellsworth have treated the summer
school students has added much to
their pleasure.
Most of the time the weather has
been good and all of the time it has
been better than Boston weather.
The air is always clear and fresh,
and there is no doubt that every
one of the fellows has gained in
health. There has been plenty OF
fun and diversion for all
1t is hard to say just what 1 en-
joyed most in Ellsworth, but proba-
bly, nothing pleased me more than
the lunches and dinners we enjoyed
occasionally with Miss Greedy, with
whom my wife and 1 roomed. There
is something about Miss Greedy s
cooking and "Rachel's" cream that
is irresistible.
I hope the summer school will be
continued, at least as long as l am
at Boston University, for I think it is
great benefit to any student who
has to study through the whole year
Boston University is to be congratu
lated for trying the experiment, anG
for. finding such an ideal place fol-
it.-Queenin.

"HOMEYNEsS."

WOODS, AIR, FREEDOM.
l have learned that true amuse
ment is that of nature. Things
have enjoyed the most are the woods
the air, and the feeling of freedom
that never comes in the crowded
city. | have improved my physica
condition. This is a wonderful ben

"PROFS." REGULAR FELLOWS.

taken here, and l believe have ben
Gifted more than l would if I haG
taken the same courses in Boston
Somehow or other, you seem to be
able to accomplish more work here
Another thing that pleased me
was the close association among the
students. Many of the fellows
had known in Boston, but it was not
until | came to Ellsworth that l real
ly understood them. The same
thing applies to the professors. In
Boston they will speak to one on the
street or in the college building, and
it ends right there; up here the pro.
fessors will sit down with you, light
up their pipes, and talk, not about
studies, but about baseball or fish
ing. One finds that the professors
are regular fellows" after ALL

CAME EARLY; STAYS LATE.
After spending seven weeks in
Ellsworth, it is my opinion that the
summer school here is one of the
best things that Boston University
has done along this line. There are
very few students who have not
been greatly benefited in health dur
ing their stay in this beautiful city,
and for that reason alone, Boston
University should make it's school
here a permanent institution that
will attract regular students in years
to come. Studying can be enjoyed
under the most ideal conditions.
More students would come to Ellis
worth if they knew that living costs
here are much lower than in Boston,
and in addition to saving money and
improving health, they would enjoy
| the ideal home life of these generous
New Englanders. Ellsworth and vi
