All Hunter undergraduates are joyously combining to make them glad they have come. - The Main Building will entertain with a gay one-act play, performed by members of the college dramatic organization, the MakeUp Box. T.he Brooklyn Branch will contribpte a dance number. Thirty-second Street and Twenty-ninth Street Annexes will combine in the performance of a hilario.us skit which promises to be the hit of the occasion, a Hunter fantasy written and directed by our inimitable and irresistible Alumna, Professor Clara Byrnes. Miss Helaine N ewstead of the staff of Eighty-fifth Street Annex, with the assistance of faculty and student members from various departments and various buildings, will prepare an interesting feature presenting the music of many nations. Eighty-fifth Street Annex will offer Latin, German, and English songs; Twenty-ninth and Thirtysecond Street&., French and Italian songs; Brooklyn, Spanish songs, and instrumental selections representing the three Scandinavian nations. All participants will wear suitable costumes. Of course, the audience, too, will have a chance to sing-to join in the dear old college songs. And, equally of course, good friends from the College and Alumnae will be on hand to tell them, in special greetings, how very welcome they are. W e trust they scarcely need to be told! And we also trust that they won't fail to be on hand to see and hear for themselves! E. ADELAIDE HAHN, Chairman, Alumnae Day BUREAU: OF OCCUPATIONS The month of October marked the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Huuter College Bureau of Occupations'. To consecrate this service anew and to broaden the scope of the work, a special committee called the J enth Anniversary Fund Committee was formed last March to raise funds for the Bureau of Occupations. Through the untiring efforts of this loyal group, almost $1500 was raised, which was presented to the Bureau as a birthday gift. (Mrs.) HARRIET L. LOWENSTEIN, Director MRS. HANNAH OTTENBERG, Chairman\n\nCOLLEGE NOTES While sessions began on September 19, the academic year may be said to have been officially opened with the formal assembly, on Octobe r 2, when President Kieran and Mrs. Elliott were the speakers. Subsequent Chapel gatherings have been in the hands of the studeRts, who have arranged a number of interesting programs, including an address by Daniel Frohman on October 23. On the afternoon of October 23, the College had the privilege of entertaining Mayor Boess of B erlin, Dr. Jons Nlydahl, B erlin Commissioner of Education, and Mrs. N ydahl. A reception in their honor was held in the F ac ulty Room, and ther e followed in the Auditorium, with Professor Busse pre~ siding, a greeting from the Mayor, and an illustrated talk by the Commissioner on the work of the Berlin schools. The Auditorium was filled to overflowing by members of the staff and the student body. Staff and students are acting jointly in two important groups: the Judicial Board, which administers the Honor System, and has provided for the election of a representative in each class section; and the Curriculum Committee, which serves as an inte rmediary between students and faculty concerning the introduction of new courses desired by suffi~ ciently large groups of students. In other ways, too, the undergraduates are showing their ability to carryon important enterprises. The Student Council Vi~e­ President was in charge of the successful College Boat-Ride to West Point, held, as usual, on .Columbus Day. Secondary activities of all sorts are flourishing. The Athletic Association sponsors a variety of sports) including basketball, hockey, tennis, fencing, horse-back riding, and swimming. TJle Make-Up Box has invited the College to a series of one-act plays. Prep a rations are also under way fot the production of Patience, this year's Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. ' The Classical Club, which claims the distinction of b eing the oldest of the College clubs, will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a dinner on November 24. Those interested should apply to Miss V. 1. Schmid at the College. It is hoped that many of the old Classical IDepartment girls will attend, including a goodly number of those who were present at the Club's Tenth Anniversary Luncheon on October 2, 1914, when Dr. WhiCher was Toastmaster and Dr. Hunter himself one of the speakers.\n\nE, A.

APPEAL TO THE EXECUTIVE COl}N:CIL MADE ON WED., NOV. 8. J have often wondered how many of the members of the Alumnae read the monthly issues of the A~UI<[NAE N E·WS as edited so capably by our most esteemed Mrs. Hahn. In the past three years, during which I have been Chairman of the Unemployment Committee of the Associate Alumnae, I have never missed ~riting an appeal in the ALuMNA~: NEws to the members of the Alumnae for help for our destitute graduates. Th e r(' .rpnnse has been mo-st discouraging. It is not mv intention to find fault with the members ~f the Alumnae for their lack of cooperation with the work of my committee; but I have often wondered if the members realized what my committee has accomplished with the few dollars it has had at its disposal, and I feel I might be pardoned in calling this lack of cooperation so frequently to your notice. I have hea rd it said that the Bureau of Occupation of Hunte r College takes care of our needy graduates. Thi s is not entirely correct. The Burea u had a ruling which excluded those graduates who h ad taken a pedagogical course. Consequently this large group of graduates was left strand ed during this most drastic depression. It was only after your Committee on Unemployment wa~ appointed that this group was given consid eration and help. But what a meager help! Through ollr efforts $150 a month has been allocated to this group from the t eachers' contributiom. Thi s means that five girls a month are giYcn employment three days a week at $2 a d a~\" $6 a week for a C()Zl e(J1' Gradual!'! And if our Unemployment Committee has ~lIfIi('ient funds one, two, or three more g irl s are g iven employment at this starvation wagc.\n\nAshamed of this condition, I appealed to our President. Mrs . Graff, and at her suggestion I am again appea ling to yo u, asking for your advice, as king for your cooperation, as king for your help. What are we going to do about this? Do yo u feel any sense of r esponsibility to you r classmates, to your fellow graduates in thi s hour of their need? If you do not, I need say no more. i3ut if you do-I have this suggestion to make to yo u. There ~re present at this meeting to-day r epresentatives and members of many classes of many yea rs. I suggest that each class appoint a sub-committee of our Unemployment Committee to represent their class in rai sin g funds to augment our unemployment fund. By so doing each class would be rep resen ted in this drive and would in ' fact be members of the Unemployment Committee. I have no doubt th at a sufficient fund would be raised in this wa.y upon which thi s committee (~o uld r ely to carryon its activities this winter in a more liber al and humane manner and one more fitting to the traditions and honor of Hunter College. JUI,1A YAN DERNOOT, Chairman on Unemployment 1112 Park Avenue. COLLEGE NiOTES In these troub\"tons times Hunter College is fortunate in having as its president Dr. Eugene A. Colligan.

VOL. XXXIII NE W ROCHELLE, N . Y., MARCH, 1928 N o. 3\n\nA VALENTINE TO THE ALMA MATER Oh, bring me brushes fairy-fine, And bring me vellum smooth as cream, For I would fashion a valentine To fit the Lady of my dream! Oh, bring the thin bright beaten gold To make the singing letters shine, And bring vermilion bright and bold For a gallant glorious valentine! I'll twine the text with Arab arts, And all around my Lady's name I'll make a ring of red, r ed hearts, And on each heart a golden flame. And all about them and between, With leaves and tendrils many a score, I'll make a wreath of the ivy green, To bind them fast forevermore. Oh, I have loved my Lady long, With single faith, with simple truth, And I have sung to her many a song, For I b ega~ in the days of youth. And I will love my L ady still And sing to her with all my might, The whole way down the slope of the hill, Till I shall journey out of sight. W e deemed she dwelt in one dear place, Because 'twas there it chanced to be W e h ad the vision of her face When as our eyes were young to see. But she abides above, afar, Aloof from all the dust and din , Unsoiled as some white lovely star, And never walls could hold her in. When we h ave journeyed out of sight. Past the turn at the foot of the hill, Oh , many and many a new-made knight Shall serve our sweet liege Lady still. Out of th e gates of the unknown years I n brave procession I see them ride, With th e ivy p;arlands about their spears, Loving and loyal, side by side. Fresh from the accolade they start, Carolling loud their Lady's name; On every shield is a red, red heart, And on every heart a golden flame.\n\nTHE ALUM NAE BREAKFAST On February 13-anticipating th e good St. Valentine by a matter of hours only- the Associate Alumnae, over 600 strong, gathered in the Grand Ball Room of the Hotel Astor in honor of our Alma Mater's fifty-ninth birthday, and in honor, too, of th e golden anniversary of the Class of 1878. The t ables wer e d ecorat ed in r ed- red flowers, red lamps, red hea rts, which i.n themselves expresse~ the spirit of the gathering. Mrs . Maxwell Hall Elliott, as President of the Associate Alumnae, fittingly and charmingly as ever, presided over the fes tivities. In her inspiring word of greeting, she urged us to have always \"an impulse g reater than ourselves\" spurring us on. It was no doubt such a fine and eager impulse that impelled Mrs. Elliott to such great achievement in the proj ect for a new building. Touching on the n ew Hunter College of the now immediate future, our President confided that in addition to \" a little theater, bells, and an organ\", an entire floor of tIl e building which is designed with a Gothi c tower, will b e reserved for the exclusive use of the Alumnae. In closing, Mrs. Elliott expressed the belief that \"It is in proportion to the true g reatness of her children that Hunter College will be erected.\" W e wer e very h appy to h ave with us among other distinguished guest s (who included Professor A. Broderick Cohen, Mrs . John B. Golden, Dean Annie E . Hickinbottom , Mrs. James M. Kieran, Miss Ruth L ewinson, and Mrs. Michael J. Mulqueen ) Dr. Frederick B . Robinson , Presiden t of the College of th e City of New York. Dr. R obinson was h appy to bear greetings from our \" older broth er\" College-older by twenty-thrce yea rs. since it was founded in 1847 . With a gallantr y seldom met with in brothers City College, we were assured, is deeply interested in \"its charming, promising, viva cious younger sister.\" In addition, Dr. Robinson thought that it was superfluous to ll ave th e \"bells\" mentioned by Mrs. Elliott, since we h ad already so many \" bell es\" among us; but he wished our Alma Ma ter \" g ods p eed and good fortun e in all that she ma y undertake.\" Dr. James M. Kier an tll en made wh at M rs. Elliott r eferred to as \" hi s first publ ic appearance as Acting President of Hunter Coll e/!e.\" Dr. Kieran sketched briefl y a history of th e growth of the College, tou ching parti cularly on the stirring crisis in h er existence during the years from 1901 to ] 904 when I?he was\n\n�"]]]]]]]]],["collection",{"collectionId":"6"},["elementSetContainer",["elementSet",{"elementSetId":"1"},["name","Dublin Core"],["description","The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The purpose of this article is to give the readers of the Alumnae I ew an opportunity of visualizing our new settlement hou e on East 69th Street. The exterior will be of colonial design, five storie in height, constructed of red brick with white trimming. Let us in our imagination take a trip through this building as it ,,-ill be when completed. If we enter through the vestibule on the front, we are immediately in a room 20x27 feet which will give no impression of an institution, but rather that of a private dwelling. Off this is the head worker's office; and if we \"valk through the center hall we are on the level of the running track or upper part of the gymnasium, the main floor of which is below treet level and is entered from the side from a ten foot wide passageway. The gymnasium is 55 by 38 feet, and has 84 women's lockers and 118 men's lockers with shower, and there i al 0 a large work shop on this floor for classes in carpentry. The second floor contains the Bohemian Room, 20 by 3. feet, a cooking school, and a large room for the kindergarten opening on to the roof garden with 1200 square feet of space. The third floor is given up to club room and a large game room to accommodate three pool and billiard tables. The fourth floor contain the living, dining, and writing rooms and kitchen and three bed room, while the fifth floor haS accommodations for eight other residents and t'o servants. The roof, which will be entirely open and without any obstruction, will provide another large space for entertainments on summer nights and for use by the Board of Education also for l-indergarten purposes. It is our purpose to make the building as simple as possible, yet to meet not only our present requirements, bUl what we believe the situation will be at ~ome future time; for if the settlement i to become a real neighbor in our district, it mu t be ready at all time to welcome a constantly increasing population. lVhen this building is completed and\n\nequipped, it will stand as a monument to those who have generously supported it in the past and who have worked so hard for the present building and have contributed so generously to its construction. Note.-Mr. Thomas S. McLane, President of the Lenox Hill Settlement Association, at my suggestion, has kindly contributed the above article, which will be of much intere t to all the friends of our Settlement House. • EMMA D.

On Wedne day, April seventh, at the formal assembly, Judge Thomas Crain addressed the college, having chosen as his subject \"The Relation of the Individual to the Courts.\" In its April issues the Hunter College Bulletin is giving in a very interesting manner the history of the early mnvement for self-government which re ulted in the establishment of the Student Self-Government Association. The history is in the form of letter written by the early leaders of the movement. Those of our alumnae who were graduated before the movement began would a suredly be interested in these letters. Back numbers of the Bulletin may be secured upon application to the Circulation Manager, Lillian E. Busch, Hunter College. On Friday evening, April 16. 1915, at eight o'clock, the spring meeting of the New York Section of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in the Middle States and Maryland was held at Hunter College.

The meeting was opened with a few appropriate words by Miss Isabel McLaughlin, President of the Student Council. Professor Cone, the founder of the new organization, then gave a 1110St illuminating description of the conception of the Fellowship ancl the results it aims to accomplish for humanity.-The hope was voiced that our poet-professor's entire discour e be printed, so that the beauty of the language as well as the inspiration of the lofty theme may be presented to those who did not have the good fortune to be pre ent.

Stanley Hall, Dr. Sheldon, Frances Willard, Earl Ba rnes, and other grea t educational leade rs, J enny B.

She was the daughter of Benj amin B. and J ane Ann e McBride Merrill, and was born in Ne w Yori. on September 4, 18 54. After gr aduating f rom H unter (then ormal) CoUege in 187 1, she was appointed to the Training D epartment, first at St. Marks Place and lat er at 68th St. and Lexington Avenue, being named Critic T eacher in 1874, and Third As sistant in 1875. A lso in 1875 she studied with Mme.

In her allllual address as President of the Associate Alumnae, an office which she held from 1875 to 1877, Dr. Merrill urged the need of training kindergartners, foreseeing the establishment of kindergartens in the public schools long before their realization. In 1877 President Hunter, believing little children should be trained, organized the first free kindergarten in the United States and established it at the Training Department of Normal College, with Jenny B. Merrill as teacher. Recognizing the r are quality of her personality and teaching ability, he appointed her teacher of methods in tll e College proper in 1878, and here for eigllteen yea rs she influenced successive classes of app reciative and devoted student:> who, as teachers, carried her message into the schools. Three yearS before the Board of Education adopted kindergartens as part of the regular public school system, the New York Kinderga rten Association , which Dr. Merrill had helped organize, established a kindergarten in the old mission-house of the Baptist Church, on the corner of 68rd Street\n\n�AN APPRECIATION A distinguished woman; A great educator; A lover of children; Above all an awakened Soul.

XXVII.\n\nNEW ROCHELLE, N. Y., DECEMBER , 1922\n\nTHE FALL REUNION\nNovember eighteenth saw the Chapel comfortably filled by the flock of the faithful who never fail to respond to the call 'Jf Alma Mater. The recent achievements of A lma Mater were summarized by Mrs. Popper in her address of welcome, in which she referred to what has been accomplished by the Summer Sessi'on, by the Senior Class, and by individual alumnae who have gained distinction. She mentioned, too, the series of ten P hilharmonic Concerts given under the auspices of City College (represented by Professor Baldwi n ) and Hunter College (rep resented by Professor Fl·eck); and finally she ref erred to the success of our High School Department, to whose 'graduates have been awarded 185 state scholarships. Neither were Alma Mater's requirements forgo tten. Mrs. Popper begged her audience to give th oughtful attention to the crying need of a new building. The High School D epartment is threatened with ev iction ; and the College, too, is in sore want of more space £-or furtber development in every line, both cultural and athleti c. President Davis, who on the previous clay had reprooented Hunter at the inaugurati on of a new chancellor at Syracuse, had been unable to get back to New York in time fo r the Alumnae meeting; but he sent a cordial letter of greetings and good wi shes, the reading of which met with hearty applause. T he musical numbers 'O n the program included seve ral delightful ongs admirably rendered by 1 r. Vernon Hughes, and th e \"f \" Ivy Leaf\", in the singing of which, as usual, all joined. The speaker of the day was our own Professo r Whicher, whom all the Alumnae wer-e most eager to see and hear once more after hi s absence of over a year abroad. There, in hi s capacity of Profess'Or in Charge at the School for Classical Studies of the A meri can Academy in Rome, Profe so r Whicher resided in the Academy, where he lectured and arranged for lectures, and directed the band of students in th ei r researches; but he also fot)nd time to explore Latium, E truria, and H orace's Sabin e Hi ll s; to represent Hunter at tr.·e quinquecentenni al celeb rati on of the U niversity of Padua. which university conferred an honorary doctor's degree upon him ( but thi s he omitted to mention) ; and t'O amass many interesting- \"Observati ons of Modern Italy.\" which he proceeded to summarize for u. in hi s own inimitable manner.\n\n•\n\nItaly, like our own country, is a meltingpot. In the northern portion, which in the old days was not considered Italy at all, the people look Teutonic, while the way of life rather resembles that of France. Of thes·e prosperous manufacturing centers Professor Whicher did not purpose to speak so much as 'Of the agricultural communities to the southward, where sturdy peasants seek to wrest a living from a land lacking fn iron and other metals and in coal, cov·ered with barren ridges of limestone , and \"poor in water\" like that pr,imitive kingdom of Daunus of which Horace tells, so that ordinary hygienic facilities are practically non-existent. But in less material things the Italian s are bless·ed. Professor Whicher says that he was particularly impressed by the per(As he exsonal beauty of the men. plained in a jocular parenthesis, he was not so li kely to be struck by the loveliness of the women, since twenty-four years at Hunter had accustomed him to pretty girls!) And more important is the intense love of beauty that pervades all classesbeauty of nature and beauty of art. V'ery touching was Professor Whicher's r.eference to the Italian immigrants 'Of the east side, who, eV'en whi le they realize that they have found more material comfort and prospe rity in this country than their own land could have offered them, still grieve that their childroen are being deprived of th at beauty which should be their birthright. For these same immigrants Professor Whicher made a most moving plea. Surely they merit our respect-these gangs of men who do the most repUlsive work of civilization, often at the ri sk of their lives, and share their scanty wage with some dependent relative in the little home-village back in Italy. Together with this love of art goes a tremendous respect for science and scholarship. To the Italian the essential thing about a university is not its buildings but its fa culti'es and their scholarly achievements. An amazing thing about Italy is the abundan ce of its artistic remains that have survived the centuries of political turmoil inevitable amid so vivacious and so individuali stic a people. Every little community has something of whi ch any community might well be proud. Every town has its own source of inspiration. And inspiring, too, is the wondrous background of lakes, and fall s, and \"villages white or whitish-gray surrounding like a ' crown some little mountain peak that ri ses out of the pu rple Ca mpagna.\"\n\n�ALICE RICH NORTHROP\nMay, 1922\nbrought g lad tidings to the sto ny st.reet.
