16 THE ACADEMY BELL of any kind that represent Virgil's topics or characters. Pageants, processions, or tableaux, which present Virgilian scenes, are to be given by many of the schools. Some insti- tutions are dramatizing one-act plays based on Virgil and his writings. The New York Browning Society is paying its homage to Virgil in a series of Virgilian Mornings, the last Thurs- day of every month. The city libraries and museums are doing work of great value for this celebration. The Public Library of New York will open an exhibit of Virgiliana some time in May. It will include such remarkable books dealing with Virgil, such as those which are now in the library of Princeton University. t A There is planned for this summer, two Virgilian Cruises. One starts at Marseilles, France, the other at Naples, Italy. These cruises touch the places Virgil's hero Aeneas visited on his journey from Troy to Italy. ' BERTHA RoGERs, '30.

Dick said to himself, Gee! That girl looks like the one that Ted is inviting up to the dance, and, come to think of it, he said that she would probably come on the same train. Dick started to speak to her, but hesitated thinking, What if that shouldn't be the girl? After debating a few minutes, he decided to wait until night and see if it really was Banbara Rich, Ted's friend. The fifty miles were at an end, and the train had stopped. Dick reached for his suitcase and left the car. As he neared the steps, he looked back and saw that the girl who had sat in front of him was also preparing to get off the train. j Upon leaving the car, Dick, just for curiosity's sake, waited outside to see where the girl went. Soon a taxi drove
