- §Eath group that sang was led by ore
of its own members, who announced the
selection and kept time: The first two
carols were of Nordic origin, a Swedish
Christmas carol, and Jn the Silence of:
the Night, a Norwegian folk song. Then
cathe two ,medieval selections, a 15th
century Ave Maria, and La Kyrie Elei-
‘son. The solo parts in the latter were
particularly | delightful. The - French
Chanson de Jolet followed, and the pro-
gram ended with Adeste Fidelis.

The college is very fortunate in hav-
mg these children come every year to
sitg carols; they are well-trained, and
present a delightful program. ‘That the
college is sensible of this was evidenced
by the large at:endance. "

Detroit Student Convention.

At Detroit this winter; December 28 to
January 1, four thousand students from
the United States and Canada will come
together to discuss frankly the question
of Missionaries to foreign lands.

Students need facts as a basis for their
opinions and discussions. Outstanding
speakers from all parts of the world are
being brought to Detroit, but the con-
vention will not center in the speakers.

The high spots of the gathering will be
in colloquia, a combination of discussion
and forum groups. Here, in small groups,
‘aided by international experts as “re-
source material,” delegates plan to think
their way through—to réalize the possi-
bility of creating in a group, through the
interplay of thought, some entirely new
ideas better than any individual opinions.
These will not be merely developed by a
process of addition, but by the “interpen-
etration of us all.”

Attractive afternoon features are plan-
ned. International teas will afford op-
portunities for informal contacts.

News From Other Colleges
Blue Monday
“Blue Monday” is a_ psychological

The matter has been thoroughly in-
vestigated, but the problem is seriously
complicated by the important contribu-
ting factors of type of work, season of
the year, personal interest in the work,
etc, Investigators are unanimous in find-
ing Monday a least effective day in
work, This is found to be true both
when output is measured and in more
simple tests used in the psychological
laboratories, which plotted a piece-work
curve, showing that there was a differ-
ence of 20 per cent. between the produc-
tion on Monday and on the peak day,
Thursday.

In the opinion of Professor E. D.
MacPhee, of the Toronto University de-
partment of psychology, “The modern
tendency to use Sunday as a day of rec-
reation, as well as the general imposition
by modern industry of a routine system
upon individuals who were not so con-
structed as to comply with its demands,
is responsible for the existence of ‘Blue
Monday’.”

Intellectual Vagabonds
Harvard’s plan of educational “vaga-
bonding” has been winning enthusiastic
receptions in other colleges, with conse-
quent attempts by many college editars
to bring about similar arrangements in
their own institutions. The “vagabond-
ing” is simply a matter of attending in-
teresting lectures in classes besides those
in which the student-is_registered.._To
enable the students to choose, the Har-
vard Crimson each day publishes a di-
rectory of worthwhile lectures, from
which the students make their choice.
Harvard students had long followed
this program, but- their daily habit has
crystallized the practice into an extra-
curricular activity.

.President C, C. Little, of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, while recognizing the
excellent scholastic motives behind vaga-
bonding, predicts that “it is likely to
have disastrous effects if carried to the
extreme.” If not permitted to interfere
with regular class work, he views it as
legitimate.

Flower Cards Make $285

The college responded nobly to the ap-
peal of the Bates Committee. to “serve
under two flags,” by sending Flower
cards to the casts of the Glee Club ‘and
Varsity Dramatics. Four hundred and
&venty-four cards were sold, bringing in
$285.

The Bates Committee made this
statement to the News: “We wish par-
ticularly to thank the members of the
Glee Club and Varsity, Dramatics for
giving up the flowers which we realize
mean so much,”

The committee worked very hard in
selling the cards, especially one member
who sold over 100,

The cards were very simple with a
flower sketched on one side and “Flower
Cards for the Benefit of Bates House”
in inconspicuous Aype. Many of those
giving cards made them especially at-
tractive by’ coloying the flowers.

The idea of having flower cards was
originated several yeafs ago, but has
not been used for raising money for
some time.

lic and private schools. The average age

ped to 17 years ayd-1a-months, The stu-
dents came from a8| Stare the Union,
Hawaii, and six foreign countries. By

Middle Atlantic States, very few from
the far West.

A Canadian Debate.

A debate was held recently at McGill
on the relative value of trousers and
skirts as wearing apparel. As- might be
expected, the arguments advanced were
not particularly serious. After con-
siderable discussion, the skirts lost by a
close judge’s decision.

Why we are

advertising to

College Women: +

For some years we have
been adverti ing toCollege
Men. Cur “‘elling appeal”
has been based on the fact
that a telephone chat with
Mother and Dad, once
every ~week, is a sort of
cure-all for those away-
ills. And a
mighty good appeal it is,
too. wv wv ww wv
Due, no doubt, to a lack of \. o

knowledge of Feminine

from-home

Psychology, our first year

in college went by with-

out an attempt to sell

young women the idea of

a weekly chat with the
folks athome. * ¥ ¥
Then one day a charming
young lady, the business
manager of her College
paper, paid usa visit. “*You
are quite right,’’said she,
‘when you say that young
men away from home are
less thoughtful and less
likely to keep in touch
with their parents with-
out urging than College
Women,’”— ¥ ¥ *
“But”... and then she
told us a few things about
the psychology of College
Women which we had,
we must confess, never
known before. * *¥ *¥
So... that is why we are
here; and that is why we
say to you—‘* Number,

please?”’ ewe 8
