PROFESSOR GREGORY is an accomplished gardener . . . Likes picking flowers best though. Is allergic to horses, but not to driving when she has the gas . . . Comes from Massachusetts where she is a trustee of Mount Holyoke. PROFESSOR LATHAM, at Barnard since 1914, still has traces of her Mississippi drawl. Her unique playwriting course is a Barnard favorite . . . Favors the outdoor life — garden- ing, fishing and riding. PROFESSOR PEARDON hails from British Columbia . . . Has toured Europe . . . Once re- ferred to himself as an Anglomaniac . . . Left Cornell for Barnard in 1923 . . . Claims the big difference between Barnard and Columbia classes is that men talk more and read less. MR. WILLIAMSON, Columbia ' 38, now at work on his Ph.D. thesis . . . Thinks that long shirts worn outside skirts, knitting and the reading of Saturday Review of Literature should be dropped from classes permanently. L3

Freshman day is the gentle process of in- troducing brand-new Freshmen to Barnard and to each other. Dressed in their best, they have lunch, listen to the Dean, say hello to Jake and the Morgue and smile brightly at the girls with whom they ' ll spend their next four years. And then, after they have been properly awed by Opening Exercises and have suc cessfully manipulated their first Barnard teacups, they realize that they have become The Class of ' 47 . Frosh Officers: Elizabeth Brigham, Bonnie Hauser, Alexandra Rice, Ruth Raup, Mary Rudd. 15
