The Tollowing piece by Miss BuTler, wriTTen specially Tor The PURPLE AND WHITE, gives a Tresh and ilIuminaTing view oT our counTry as seen Through The eyes oT a sensiTive and observanT scholar from abroad.-The EdiTors.l AlThough I have now been in America Tor more Than a half year, I sTiII TrequenTly Teel ThaT I am living in a dream world and ThaT, presently, I shall awalcen.
