Calegred Accounts

* There being no further Self Govern-
ment: business, however, she in turn
handed over the leading of the assem-
bly to Eleanor Fabyan, president of
the Undergraduate Association. Miss
. Fabyan then read a note of thanks
| which she had received in October
’, from Miss Thomas for the good wishes
: sent to her by the undergraduates of
“the college, and also a note from Miss
Thomas’ family after her death,
_ thanking the students for flowers.
» Miss Fabyan | likewise read a letter
from Mr. and Mrs. Diez expressing
their gratitude for the flowers given
a by the undergraduates at the funeral
—- of their daughter, Betty Diez. In re-
gard to the Betty Diez Memorial
. which the faculty are trying to found
“3 for the yearly awarding of. a prize at
a the school she attended, Miss Fabyan
y ‘ gaid that a contribution of $200 was
needed from the college students, of
a which only $50 had been given so far.
= Alice Chase, the treasurer of Under-
ey grad, was asked to give her report
of the finances of the association up
to the present’ date, May, 1936, from
7 the beginning of October, 1935. From
such sources as dues, receipts from
the previous year, the sale of caps and
gowns, the total income for this period
was $2358.17, while an ‘expenditure of
$1624.94 resulted from the support
of certain paid positions for under-
graduates, the purchase of caps and
gowns, the Library Corporation and
other items. In consequence, the bal-
ance now stands at $733.23.
The balance of the Million Dollar
Drive now stands considerably to the
better also because of the efforts of
the undergraduates. In giving, her
report of Undergrad accomplishments,
Miss Fabyan stated that the students
had given $3300 towards the Anni-
versary Fund. Because of the Anni-
versary, moreover, in combination
with May Day, the regular events of
the college year have been somewhat
upset. Still, the entertainment: pro-
vided for the benefit of the students
has not been neglected; rather, it has
improved. In accordance with the
suggestion of the College Council, the
week-ends on the campus have been
made more lively by the help of teas
in the halls and speakers in the Dean-
ery. During the first semester, the
Undergraduate Association had a
reciprocal relationship with the Dean-
ery so that the college could attend the
lectures there without charge. In the
nn ——_______________
throu
second semester, however, this prac-
‘tice was dropped and the association
joined with Haverford -in- procuring
movies from the Museum of Modern
Art.
“ On account ‘of Miss Thomas’ death,
the dance scheduled to be held in De-
cember was postponed until February
this year, but it turned out in ‘spite
of its difficulties to be a delightful af-.
fair. One difficulty remained, though:
the fact that it did not meet its ex-
penses, and it is hoped that the dance
to be given on May sixteenth will help
to cover the, deficit left’ by the pre-
vious occasion. For a while the idea
of giving a dance in cooperation with
some other college, such as Haver-
ford, was considered, yet it was soon
seen that the Gym could never harbor
such a horde of revellers, while the
Bryn Mawr stags would have a sorry
time of it if the Haverford men
brought their own girls with them.
With the suggestion that many of
the practices carried out this year be
continued hereafter, especially the de- |}
manding of dues that can help to pay
for the entertainments provided by the
‘association,-Miss Fabyan brought her
report to a close and gave her gavel
up to Esther Hardenbergh, the presi-
dent of the association for the coming
year.
Other Worlds
The national contest for choosing
the twenty books most essential for
the well-read. man’s library was won
by a student of Syracuse University.
His fittion titles include Rabelais’
Gargantua and Pantagruel, Cervan-
tes’ Don Quixote, Fielding’s Tom
Jones, Thackeray’s Vanity Fair,
Dostoievsky’s Crime and Punishment,
Hardy’s Return of the Native and
eunelecegieadn Scarlet Letter.
In a soouke poll of the favorite
paintings of students of Syracuse. Uni-
versity, the works of Americans were
preferred to those of painters from
foreign countries. However, old mas-
terpieces, such as “Sistine Madonna,”
by Raphael, and the “Madonna of the
Chair,” ‘were voted among the fa-
vorites, as were some of. the .works
of Reynolds and Whistler.
No paintings of Van Gogh, Renoir,

History tells us that
when Christopher Columbus’ sailors
took tobacco back home with them
everybody hailed it as one of the first
new pleasures in years.
Today tobacco gives more pleasure
