C'. C. OPENSSeptember twenty-fifth was a red

Jetter day (0[" Connecticut College.Then, first in the hiStory of the college,there aaaem bled at chapel four reg'u-Iar- classes, headed by full-fledgedseniors.The importance and dignity of 1919,

the first senior class, was emphasized

by tti;ir appearance in an impresSliveprocession, robed in cap and gown.Following songs and prayer, PresidentMarshall welcomed the students, newand old, with a short address.

"Woman's sphere," he said, "is everwidening, in this present era. More

is being expected of her than everbefore. 'But at the Harne time, the oldcall of motherhood and bousewaretvcares is not forgotten. Above all," hecontinued, "woman must retain herfineness of character-her sympathyand love."The speaker of the morning, Pro-

fest"or Jonn Edwin Well.s, of the de-partment of English, enlarged some-what on the president's theme, inshowing the relation of our work andattitude in college toward the war. "[am not a pessimist," he said, "I am anopttmtat.c-cperhaps too much so," and

he descnibed the amazing changes thathave taken place in America in al-most every aspect of life within thelast year and a half. "They arechanges from within," he contlnued-"changes brought about at a terriblecost to everyone, but which are ac-cepted from a realization of a magntn ,cent opportunity. This is the age ofgreatest opportunity:' Dr. Wells de-clared, "the most heroic age the worldhae ever known. The question beforeus," he said, "is, 'How are we to meas-ure up to tit'l"""To the woman college student," the

speaker explained, "the answer lies ina great field of opportunity. 'Only thewomen's oolleges are permitted to ortertheir curricula unchanged. Again," hecontinued, "from the women's collegesmust come the leaders of tomorrow.And, in a special sense," he said, "Con-necticut College possesses oppor-tuniti:ies above others. The studentshave it in their power to make thisnew Instttutlon a noble college.If we can keep in mind the glorious

words of Nathan Hale, 'I only regretthat I have but one life to give for mycountry,' .tben we shall be fined withthe spirit that glorifies our felIowstoday."The speaker's closing words were

OLD CLOTHES AND BELGIANREUEF

The very acute clothing needs ofBelgium and the north of France haveplaced on the Commission for Reliefin 'Belgium a duty which calla forevery effort. The destitute of the oc-cupied regions are in a pitiable physi-cal condition after their four yearsof constantly growing deprivation.The health of a large proportion ofthe population il9 undermined by suf-fering. Their powers of resistanceare reduced to the lowest ebb, andthey are an easy 'Prey to ddeease,wh'ich is making rapid inroads on therace.

Coincidently with this condit.l-on, thedisappearance of clothing and suppliesfor the manufacture of clothing hasbecome almost complete. Even th'eold bedsheets, blankets, and table-cloths from which the destitute havein recent months been obliged to fash-ion garments, are exhausted. Shoesare so rare that even the fairly well-to-do have been obliged to resort towooden sabots.'Wlith such a lack of protection

THE "NEWS" CAMPAIGN"Be up-to-date, read .the 'News.'""Support your class, win a sub-

scription for your president.""Drive away the blues, buy the

'College News.'''Thus read some of the many posters

which heralded the "News" campaignat dinner one 'Friday night. Over thefire-place in the din'ing-hall wereerected five thermometers, which wereto record the steps of the campaign.The members of the "News" staff werethere too, each with her paper andpencil hurrying about among thetables getting subscriptions.Soon the numbers began to come

in, and for many minutes the excite-ment waxed hat and strong. r.r:heFaculty were the first to fill theirquota. Then the Sophomores pro-

ceeded to push their thermometer up-ward. "But .In another second !theSeniors had them outnumbered andwere climbing higher. Suddenly, theblack line in the Junior thermometershot up, way 'beyond. the others. Sure-ly they had won the goal. But, wait!The Freshmen numbers were just be-lng recorded. They were higher thanthe Seniors. but could they surpassthe Junior's high mark? Higher,higher they crept until at last a loudcheer echoed forth--"Three cheens tor 1922, she gets the

subscription."

THE QUARANTINEQuarantine again descended upon the

ccneae on the twenty-sixth, less thana week after the opening, but thistrme we are not alone in our mis-fortune for Vassar, Smith, Wellesleyand numerous other colleges are stiar-

Ing- the same fate only in a more se-vere form. Per-haps never before haveWI" truly appreciated our large, opencampus and the long walks which Itr-, possible to take and yet remainaway from civilization.With the idea of keeping ever-yone

cut of doors a hockey 'game was an-

r.ounced to take place Saturday after-noon hetween Seniors and Juniors.wbne the game, which ended with ascore of 0 to 0, was in progress. acurious looking throng was wendingits way across campus. Laden withtrunk trays, bedding, clothing, andcooks it conveyed the impression thatt: ba..na of t·~I.'tlS'eei5was t1<..~jng [rom a.

devastated town. H-owever, it wasor.ly the residents of the third floor ofWi nth r-op who were moving' out tomake room for the "suspects" and the"cases," and they were on thelr wayto the gym to take up residence thereunder the palm trees.,A hare and hound chase Sunday

morning and a soccer game on thefollOWing Saturday gave the Fresh-men an excellent chance to see whatwe have to offer in the Hne of sports,and kept everyone out in the open aswell.

On Sunday afternoon the first Vesperservice of the year was held, and Inorder to comply with the quarantineregulations it was held in the Hem-lock Grove in Bolleswood. 'PresidentMarehajl had charge of the informalservice which was very impressive inthe midst of so much natural beauty.It is certainly to be hoped that theprecedent, which was started undernecessity, will be followed in thefuture.The number of cases has so di-

minished that we are almost back tonormal strength except for the towngirls who are barred from campus andclasses until the Quarantine is lifted;but the enforced stay on campus isnot to be regretted for it has gi veneveryone a chance to 'get acquaintedand settled.

Freshman, looking at Miss Blue's XCountry schedule: "what a funny

name for a teacher! I wonder if herfirst name's Xantippe."

At the last memorable chapel exer-ctses it was 'announced that the Newshad acquired a new office. It is veryproud of the aforeUl~ntLoned eanct um,which is located in the basement ofPlant House. The staff extends acordial Invitation to you to inspect itat any time. The office is furnishedwith three lead paned windowsthrough which the staff enjoys a btrd'aeye view of life and Blackstone.Within, the office is Iuxuriouelvequipped with an electric bulb, twomagnificent desks (one being theproperty of the Service League), anartistically varnished rotary easychair for the editors. a waste basketdone in variegated hues of brown andlack to mat-eh the winter foHage, anda ontribution box decorated with anamPJe slit in its lid and a trusty pad-lock by its side.

the News is p~bllshed. You knowwhat you would like to see in its col-umns. You are her by appointed hon-orary critics ot the News. Would youlike short stories? Would you likeverse? Would YOU prefer to read arti-cles written intormally, or in reguJarnewspaper style? Would a few goodJokes appeal to you? Or a short dis-cussion of current event-s? Or a col-umn set aside for letters from ourfriends overseas? Would you ratherread forecasts of, college events, OI\

fuller reports of them after they havetaken place?The News values your opinions very

highly. But it hasn't any way of dis-covering them. So before you pass

the Xews box by, as it waits by it-self' in the gym, will you slip in a noteOf suggestion, or better still an ed-itorial or Story or poem to objectifyyour views? The former wiII be ap-preciated, and the latter will be pub-lished.You elected the .xewa staff to super-

against inclement weather, the Buf-fering that awaits the debilitatedpoor during the coming winter, andthe appalling consequences that willinev ltab ly follow arc plain. Nochannel exists through which this sit-uation can be combated except theCommission for Relief in Belgium,and there is no remaining source forthe supply of clothing but America.It therefore becomes the gravest taekof the Commission to mobutze all pos-sible stocks of clothing at the earliestmoment.In this work the Commission be-

lieves that college students will beglad to share by contributing theirworn and unused garments. A con-certed effort on the part of each in-stitution will undoubtedly result in amaterial increase of the supply ofclothing that must be provided.The ships of th'e Commission have

fl.lready carried many tons of clothingto the occupied regions. But the ur-gency of the demand will continue un-dimInished, and will even probably in-crease during the whole duration atthe war. This presents to all an op-portunity, which we feel assured thestudent body will gladly embrace, forcontinuous service of the most im·portant and productive kind. Thetask set us is to secure every availablegarment in the country. Throughetudent organizations and by othermethods which \vll.1I readily s1lggestthemselves, the universities and col-leges can help assure the success ofthe American effort to protect thehealth, the decency, and the life of acourageous people, to whom Ameri~cans are bound by peculiar ties.

«red once more in the auditorium tohear earnest and magnetic speakers,such as MiS'S B-ertha Conde, authorof "The Business of 'Being a Friend."The evening dosed with separate del-egation conferences an.d religious ser-vices of their own. Hymns resoundedfrom every corner of the campus until~ r~ o'ctocx rang from the auditoriumbell.Perhaps vou have heard of the

"sptrtt of Silver Bay." It is very in-tangible and very real. It is a spiritof whole- hearted co-operataon amongthe colleges, of open spiritual fellow-ship, of mutual tnsptratton. There ta

nothing hysterical about it. Your nextneighbor at the table discussed im-

mortality and prayer with you as nat-urally as we discuss the latest aca-demic 'idiosyncracies in Thames Hall.How was this brought about? Partlythrough individual contact with re-markable men and women to whome-eltgfon was the biggest thing in life,and partly from a common collectiveunity of spiritual expresston. It..lisvery hard to explain-this spirit ofSilver Bay-but it is a wonderful ex-perience.
