Alumnae Heads
Plan to Assist
d. 6. Newcomers
TzUelve Presidents
OF College Clubs
Meet for Luncheon

Problems arising for local COL
lego groups endeavoring to assist
alumnae, who are newcomers to
Washington, were discussed at a
luncheon held yesterday by IL pres
idents of local clubs at the Iron
Gate tearoom.
The meeting was one of several
which have been held by the club
presidents since the beginning of
the war emergency. Most of the
college groups have inaugurated
similar projects to help alumnae
find suitable living quarters, aid in
their general welfare and to ar
range for social gatherings. BY
pooling information, individual
groups have greatly benefited.
The Wellesley College group has
been particularly active in helping
its alumnae as such large number
of graduates from that college are
said to be in Washington engaged
in war work of some kind or an
other.
Until recently, the presidents met
at the AAUW clubhouse, but de-
mands upon the clubhouse have
made 1t necessary to find another
meeting place.
Those attending the luncheon
yesterday were Mrs. Charles D. Her.
ron, Bryn Mawr College; Miss Eliz-
abeth Fielding, Connecticut College
Club; Mrs. Albert Armstrong,
Goucher College: Mrs. c. Irving
Brown, Mount Holyoke College;
Mrs. Wilfred Rommel, Pembroke
College; Mrs. Robert Boyle, Rad
cliffe College; Mrs. Algernon S.
Gardiner, Randolph Macon; Miss
katheryn Fritch, Simmons College;
Mrs. John Stenhouse, Smith Col
lege; Miss Mel Tyson, Sweet Briar:
Mrs. Arthur Dana Elliott, Wellesley
College; Mrs. Clifton E. Mack,
Wheaton College, and Mrs. Wal
dron Faulkner, Vassar College.
Although members of the group
change as their presidential terms
are concluded, there has been no
slackening in the interest in the
work done by the different alumnae
groups. Hostess at the meetings
are volunteers who take turns" at
the luncheons.
