‘ “The Intercollegiate Community Serv- _ ice Association and the War Work Com- mittee of the Association of College Alumne, of which President Thomas is chairman, are planning to co-operate in -establishing a clearing house for colle- giate and intercollegiate European recon- struction units”, said Dr. Susan Myra Kingsbury, president of the I. C. S. A. and ‘Carola Woerishoffer Professor of Social Economy, after speaking on the subject in Chapel Monday morning. “Their aim is to collect data on reconstruction work and so to stimulate colleges to more or- ganized effort”. _Miss Kingsbury announced that the I. C. S. A. had appointed a field secretary, Katherine Hardwick of Boston, to go to communities where she is called by col- lege women to aid in arousing them to their community responsibility. The American Fund for French Wound- ed, added Miss Kingsbury, will probably co-operate. The chairman of the Smith College whit, which is already in France/# and the treasurer of the prospective Wellesley unit have already offered to help in formulating data on reconstruc- tion. Miss Kingsbury told something of the human side of reconstruction, saying that sympathy as well as actual rehabilitation of industries and agriculture was needed to accomplish the end of helping Europe, especially France, Belgium and Italy, to regain courage and re-establish their in- dustrial and home life. WRITTENS NO HARDER THAN ORALS BUT EXPECTED TO BE EASIER “Don’t go into your French and German tutoring classes reluctantly, on a leash”, was President Thomas’s advice to the Sophomores and Juniors last week in Chapel. “The internationalism which we look forward to as one of the results of this war cannot be better furthered than by a knowledge of other nations’ lan- guages”. The high rate of failure among the Seniors in their first French and German “writtens” she attributed not to the fact that the “writtens” were harder than the orals used to be, but to the classes’ think- ing that they would be easier. .-ALL GRINDS TAKE NOTICE A new athletic association has been formed, which is called the Greasy Grinds’ Athletic Association.
