Baltimore is rapidly becoming an intellectual Mecca, whither Hock pil- OLTVE K, ANDERSON. grims from all parts of the country. Even the far West has sent several devotees to this shrine of knowl- edge, among them Miss Olive An- derson of White Sulphur Springs, Montana, as a student of The W0- manls College. She has won many friends who are enthusiastic in their praises of her unfailing good nature and geniality. In the field of athletics Miss Anderson has de- voted herself to basketball in which she has achieved remarkable skill. In study as well as in play she has been noted for her sincerity and common sense, which qualities have brought her a lasting popularity. We regret that such tributes from the West are but transient, and we most reluctantly bid farewell to Miss Anderson as she returns home after her four years! course.
