The old board fence, the ivide gate, the stile and the hedge are gone. To the students of the seventies and eighties, the one familiar feature is the Neiv Brick (Talbot Hall). It stands, as in days of yore, solid and stately, una- dorned, save by the ivy that climbs and clings to its walls.

D Many scenes this picture suggests. I remember one evening, when return- ing during a serenade, Stone Hall looking like a gigantic altar, candles from every tvindow shedding their soft radiance out into the night. At the corona- tion of the May Queen it was gay with pennants, as with her retinue sh e de- scended the steps to receive the croivn from the hands of Dr. Cohvell. Not often did it ivear this festive appearance. But ivhen, suitcase laden, ive re- turned after the holidays, hoiv ivarmly ivelcoming it seemed to us ivho had learned to love it and to call it Home ! — Clara A. Davies 19
