a eee ~— a Se FATHER OFFICER SPEAKS ON wrRueeee AFTER CHOICE ~ Father ‘Harvey Oeee. ‘of the Order a the Holy Cross, spoke to a crowded Chapel last Sunday on the text from the Hebrews, “After that illumination comes not peace, but a great fight of afflictions”. God is the illumination coming suc- cessively to mind, heart and will, said Father Officer. But the time of illumina- tion is not the real time of choice; the real choice comes afterward. And after we have chosen the way then comes the struggle. : “Life’s task is difficult: not to win, but to keep what we have won. We can only win by enduring, and prayer is the best way through the struggle.” —— ELEVEN STUDENTS WITHDRAW Eleven undergraduates have definitely decided not to come back next year. They are N.

TRAINING “scHOOLS _ A war emergency course to preparé so- cial workers to assist in the rehabilita- tion, individual and social, of soldiers suf- fering from the nervous and mental dis- eases, including war neurosis (so-called “shell shock”), will be begun at Smith | College, July 8th, with eight weeks of in- struction to be followed by six months of practical work in various centers. The value of the special psychiatric division of social work has been demonstrated in the care of neurosis in civil life in a num- ber of institutions. That the demand for such workers should be met by immedi- ate preparation, is the belief of many em- inent psychiatrists, as well as of numer- ous leaders in social work. . The course is under the auspices of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene, through a special committee composed of: Dr. E. E. Southard, Chairman, Boston. Dr. William L. Russell, New York. Dr. L, Pierce Clark, New York. Dr. Walter EB. Fernald, Waverly, Mass. President William A. Neilson, Smith College, Northampton, Mass.
