~ ‘first;
A renovation of the C. A. Library was
definitely decided upon and B. Titcomb
22 elected to see to the refurnishing. A
committee consisting of F. Day ’19, M.
Ballou ’20, K. Cowen ’21 and D. Dessau
'22 was later appointed by the board to
act with the Faculty committee of the
new book room in choosing new books.
The budget will be voted on at a meet-
ing of the Association after mid-years.
In order to bring more people into con-
tact with the work of the Association, it
was suggested that every attempt be
made to give work to all who signed up
for committees and to have each execu-.
tive on every committee report to her
classes about its activities.

teeth and said, ‘They shall never pass,’
and now we know they never shall,” went
on Abbé Flynn.
“The spirit which animated the French
soldiers was largely religious. One of the
results of the war is a broadening of re-
ligious ideas. At the front Protestant
chaplains, Jewish rabbis and Catholic
priests cracked jokes together,’ said
Abbé Flynn. Often we would let the
rabbi,pass in front of us, saying, ‘You go
you are the Old Testament, while
we are only the new.’ But we were al-
ways helping each other. We were on
the same job, and we tried to see what
united us instead of what divided us.”

ing in the halls. The immediate puse of
the search was the loss of a set of furs
cles. Accurate descriptions of the furs
exposed. Several sets of furs that an-
swered the description were turned in by
the searchers but proved to be not the
ones that had been lost and were re-
turned to the owners. Two pieces of jew-
elry, which had been reported stolen and
were being searched for, were found in
the room of the owner.
Students Worked with College Officials
The dining-room doors were closed at
ten minutes of seven and students asked
to remain in the room until the search
was over. To insure a rapid and thor-
ough search of about 500 rooms it was
necessary to have the assistance of from
40 to 50 people. The plan adopted was
to have each room searched by two peo-
ple, one a college official or a member of
the Executive Board of Self-Government,
the other a student who was a member of
the Advisory Board or an official in some
student organization.
The buildings were divided into sec-
tions of about twenty rooms, and each
section assigned to two people. The war-
dens and housekeepers were assigned
rooms in their own halls; the students in
every case went to different halls than
the ones in which they lived. Other as-
signments were made in rotation.
Searchers Were Not Told in Advance
The students called on to assist, with
the exception of the president of Self-
Government, were not notified of the
plan. The members of the Christian As-
sociation board and the Self-Government
board were asked to go to a meeting in
the Christian Association Library at 6.15;
the Athletic board and others who would
not naturally have a meeting here were
asked to go to the gymnasium office at 6;
others were asked to meet an appoint-
ment in the New Book Room. At 6.20 all
the groups had united in the C. A.
Library. The doors were closed and the
plan announced. It was asked that any
who did not care to take part should re-
main during the search in the library
under the same restrictions that were to
be asked of the students in the dining-
rooms. No one objected and everyone
by the janitress of the gymnasium, which | [|
came as the culmination of a number of | ff
reported thefts of jewelry and other arti-|
and other articles made it seem probable | fi]
that if they were in the halls they could |
be found. Although the search was al
thoroughly systematic one no theft was

to each group. At the same time that the
Alice G. Howland
dining-room doors were closed each hall
group left the library and went directly
to the hall assigned, where they were ad-
mitted by the warden and locked in the
hall until the search was over. Each two
people had a paper on which were the
numbers of the rooms in their section and
a written report was made on each room.
This report was taken back to the C. A.
Library, signed by each person, and re-
turned to the business manager.
Realizing that the College, by constant
disappearances, had been put in such a
position that any and every means was
justifiable, the students in all the halls
except Rockefeller, where there were a
number of objections, gave their full co-
operation. The dining-rooms were en-
livened by singing, dancing, stunts and
games, affording a relaxation from mid-
