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.

President Colligan welcomed the former students to their old Alma Mater. Mrs . L eslie Graff addressed the gathering. Professor E. Adelaide Hahn, H ead of tbe J)epartment of Latin and\" Greek, paid a tribute to the late Professor George Meason Whicher; and two students, Lucille Ryan and Tippins Brown, read two of Professor Whicher's poems. Joyce Gale, President of the Student Council, r ead President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving Proclamation. Vocal and instrumental music by the students completed the program. The seventh semi-annual Pre-Admission Program began with two assemblies in the auditorium of the Julia Richman High School, held on Thursday evening, D ecember 2, and Monday evening, D ecember 6, for high school students applying for admission to Hunter in February, 1938. At these assemblies, which more than 1,200 students and their parents attended, the entI'ance requirements and the new curriculum of the College wer e explained and the students were advised on the election of courses . Speakers were Mrs. Mary Belden James Lehn, Chairman of 'the Committee on Admission; Professor Marie K. Gallagher, Chairman of the Bureau of Educational Guidance; and Professor Philip R. V. Curoe, Chairman of the Curriculum Study Committee. After the assemblies, departmental conferences between the prospective fr eshman and a r epresentative of the department in which she had indicat ed her first choice of a field of specialization were scheduled for tbe weeks of December 13, J anuary 3, 10, and 17. At these conferences the individual problems of each student are discussed and advice on election of courses is given by the departmental counsellors. The Pre-Admission Program, which was started in December 1934, under the direction of President Colligan, as an attempt to integrate high school and college experience, h as proved very successful. The percentage of change from one field of specialization to another during the first t erm has decreased from 8% to less than ' 2 ro of the class, investigations made by the Bureau of Educational Guidance have shown, and the work of the students bas indicated that tbey have been more judiciously and h appily placed in a program of studies than were those who in the past did not have the advantage of the Pre-Admission Program.\n\n�2\n\nTHE ALUMNAE NEWS\n\nProfessor Wilbert Snow of the English Department at Wesleyan University made the Phi Beta Kappa address at the initiation of new members into the Hunter Chapter on December 8.

Before the actual burning of the 'log, the Bronx orchestra played two selections and the Bronx choir sang two carols. Before lighting the Yule Log, President Colligan made his customarv address and introduced Mrs. Mack. The c~remonies were followed by the annual Christmas luncheon of the Bronx FacultyStudent Social Relations Committee in the faculty dining room. Among those attending were the guests of honor, the Heads of Department, and seventy-five Bronx students chosen by lot. Professor Blanche Colton Williams, Head of the Department of English, gave a tea to the members of her Department at the Hotel Plaza on D ecember 11. At a meeting of the Woman's Press Club held on Saturday afternoon, November 27, with Mrs. Otto Hahn, the Club's Chairman of Literature, as Chairman of the Day, Dean Hannah M. Egan was a guest of honor, and the speakers were Professor E. Adelaide Hahn, of the Department of Latin and Greek, who spoke on \"The Love Poetry of the Ancients\", and Professor Eleanor G. Clark, of the Department of English, 'w ho spoke on \"The Practice of Fustian in Elizabethan Literature\".\n\nProfessor Broderick Cohen, Director of the Evening and Extension Division and the Summer Session of Hunter College, was reelected President of the New York Academy of Public Education at the meeting of the Academy held on Thursday, November , 18, 1937, at the Waldorf-Astoria. The Academy, whose members are selected for their contributions in the field of Education, has this year celebrated its silver jubilee. The basic purpose of the Academy is to consider and promote public education. Recent speakers at the College have included Mr. Henry Levy, Head of the Board of Exaqliners of New York City and Chairman of the Commercial License, a division of the board, who addressed the Art of Business Club on \"The Ideal Commercial Teacher\"; nil'. Paul B. Sears of Columbia University, who spoke on \"Landscaping for Civilization\", discussing dustbowls, irrigation, and conservation; Dr. Ralph p. Rosenberg of the German Department of the College, who spoke to the German Club on \"Ludwig Borne-A Centenary Appreciation of a Literary Journalist\" ; Mr. David Dressler of the N ew York Division of Parole, who addressed the Special Service Committee on \"The Adjustment of the Ex-Convict to Society\"; Dr. William H.

It is hoped that this publication will be the first of a series by staff members of various departments. Professor Williams stated, in handing a specially bound copy to the President, to whom it was dedicated, that the contributions ' were written as offshoots of larger works, or as results of research investigation, or as essays developed in connection with courses taught at the College j and that a few are reminiscent of vacation or social work. One third of the staff is represented in this collection assembled, without pretense, to record some of the departmental interests. The title, A ChrUtmlU Book, is seasonal, with small reference to content. The frontispiece is a reproduction of Harry Farlow's portrait of Helen Gray Cone. Professor Emeritus Cone's poem, \"A Chant of Love for 'England\", is reprinted in the Hunter volume by special permission.\n\n�THE ALUMNAE NEWS The Table of Contents, printed for easy A HU N TER THEATER PARTY re fer en ce on the front cove r p age, includes The Hunter students a re planning a thealso: Th e English E pic, b y A ssist ant Pro- a t er-p a rty for S aturday evening, Janua r y f essor Caroline H a rris Steven s, who h as 2 9, a t 8 :45, and invite the Alumnae to join mad e a sp ecialty of Old E ng lish; A Gal- them. \" The Troj a n Women\" of Euripides lant Lady, a cha r ming essay on L a dy M a r y is to be presented at the Roeri ch M useu m Wortley M ontagu, b y Professor J oseph J. by a n ew dr ama ti c g roup, the American AcR eilly; Caxton's D 1lchess, by Associat e Pro- tors Theat e r, which in cludes one of our g radf essor Dorothea C.

HARTMANN.\n\nWe have three opportunities of celebrating the College Birthday this year. Two days ahead of time, on Saturday, February 12, we shall gather at the Astor for our traditional Breakfast. On the day itself, Monday, February 14, we shall travel to the Bronx Buildings for a tea in our honor at four, followed by a performance of Hunter's own operetta. And two days afterwards, on Wednesday, February 16, we shall join the students of the Lexington and Park Avenue Buildings at the regular Birthday Chapel. Here's hoping we shall meet in great numbers on all three occasions. And here's to Hunter, three times three! \"A SCHOLAR ANJI) A LADY\" The .diploma granted by a school in New Hampshire more than eighty years ago to Lydia F. Wadleigh certified that she was \"a scholar and a lady.\" She was also a teacher who had a unique experience and distinction as a pioneer, here in the very midst of the great city. Before there were any public high schools in Old New York (that is, Manhattan and the Bronx) this scholarly ladyteacher from New England conducted a \"senior department\" for girls who wished to go beyond the elementary bounds. When the Normal College fqr the Training of Teachers was organized she was made \"lady superintendent\" of the institution; and when the first high school for girls was established, her name was given to it in recognition of her pioneering work. Today, the fortieth anniversary of the establishment of this widely known school is being gratefully celebrated by nearly five thousand students now in attendance and by many more thousands of graduates. \"Wadleigh\" has approximately sixteen thousand graduates, among whom are great numbers of teachers and professional women; but she is also \"mother\" of all the other high schools for girls in Manhattan and the ·Bronx. The present building is overtaxed and the celebration will not only review the glorious work of the past but will also look forward to a new and adequate building before the jubilee . year is reached-ten years hence.From the New York Times, Dec. 11, 1937.\n\nA IV OF 90 That age is but a convention and can be dropped at will was demonstrated in a delightful way at the annual luncheon of A IV of '90 held on November' 17th at the Hotel Croydon. This annual gathering, never once omitted through the changing years since A IV was graduated, has been a striking testimonial to the deep roots of old associations and early school friendships. This occasion, however, was a special one, for the call was heard beyond the immediate circle of the old girls. N:ot only did it bring them together, twenty strong and as active and energetic as if they were at least twenty years younger, but - and here is where time was utterly flouted-it brought two of the teachers who had taught the c1 ass in the far-off days of Training School. There was Mrs . Tunis wearing her eighty years as jauntily as she did her bonnet; she had come by train from Boston especially to see the little girls who had .been hers in the third and fourth years of primary school. And there was Mrs. Douglas, formerly Miss Rutter, beaming on us with the old remembered smile of kindliness and affection; she had- taught these same small children when they had left Mrs. Tunis's hands. They peered into our faces to see us as we looked back of the years, they called us by our childhood names, they recalled little incidents of the class-room, they told us of their own lives, of their struggles and successes. It was strangely touching to be able through the eyes of these older women to get again glimpses of ourselves as little children, and to realize that in spite of the lapse of time we were still young to them and still loved as part of their cherished past. Are the t eachers of our children and of our ' grandchildren, we wondered, going to remember t hem with like affection, and are they in turn going to be so remembered? Or was there something peculiarly personal and close in the relati_ onships between pupils and teachers in the old, old days of Training School? INEZ C.

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.

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.

Then the ship on the sea, and the sacred roof-tree, And the fire on the hearth tone, from fear shall be free: • Let the Star-Spangled Banner its high fate fulfill, And lead the glad march to the gates of Goodwill ! II Let us order our ways, let us make the path straight, Let us walk all our day in the light of the vision, That the word we await may be Love and not Hate, When the multitudes meet in the vale of decision. Our hope shall not die while the stars are on high, And this be our motto: \"One blood and one sky!\" And the blue arch of heaven with splendor shall thrill O'er a wo.ld that is free in the bond of Goodwill !
