Then too. it is authentically reported that soap bubbles were blown at one of these revelries. il Com- muters from Hartford were forced to journey to Berlin each morning there to switch trains for New Britain. History has it that this procedure led to a major scandal at one time. It seems that two commuters had formed the unladylike habit of engaging in daily con- versation at the depot with two young men who com- muted to Yale. The afiair was reported by some dear classmate. and the sinners were severely reprimanded. ll As time marched on physical culture was taken care of in the form of daily gymnastics classes.

IL just how such qualities as the habit of self control, cheerful spirits and agreeable manners were ascertained before admittance remains a decidedly interesting mystery. ll In spite of the fact that we may emit a chuckle or two in our reminiseings, it is well to realize that nowhere in the history of our past has there been a lag in keeping up with the spirit of the times as they existed. Gur present progressiveness is simply another evidence of that omnipresent desire to practice the best in that much defined something called education. May it ever be thus! i 'M 4
