The faculty iirst invited their guests to the director's studio, where we shook hands with a clammy hand and had all sorts of pranks played on us. Immediately following this, there were more horrors invented by the new girls. A bewitching fortune teller's booth attracted many while others bobbed for apples. After this we were mysteriously led into a. very dark room filled with spool-rs and ghostly noises. Later, all seated in a. circle around a Witch's Ere, we watched the ghast- ly expressions appear on each other's faces and death will never have ter- rors for us again. This ended the horrors and all gathered in the spacious living room where Vassar chocolate, cakes, candy and music were served. .-.Q.....

THE STENTOR 5 Faculty News Many of the alumni already know that Professor Halsey had a partial stroke of paralysis early in August and is at present out of commis- sion . No doubt his illness was brought on by his unremitting effort in the last year or two in imparting through public addresses his own wide and accurate knowledge and something of his enthusiasm to many and widely scattered audiences. His services, freely given, were in great demand, at the Great Lakes Station, for example, he had spoken weekly to large audiences for a long time. It is a matter of great regret that he could not have gone on in the same fashion, with the inspiration of the hopeful events of recent months. One can readily imagine how greatly he would have been in his element in giving' a course like that on War Issues and Aims in the S.A.T.C. For the last month or more, Dr. Hal- sey has been at the North Shore Sani- tarium at Winnetka, removing there from Alice Home when the influenza was at its height here. For a long time his improvement was hardly ap- preciable, but we are glad to say that there has been a marked turn for the better in the last fortnightg his phy- sician expresses himself as quite hopeful about him. He expresses, in this indirect way, his appreciation of a number of letters received from alumni, and we need hardly suggest that he should hear from others also. Professor and Mrs. Burnap are still at their summer camp near Sutton's Bay, Mich., where they have found October delightful with its Autumn hues and abundance, though the ther- mometer often gets down to a crisp 30 degrees in the morning. Their present plan is to spend a short time here in November and to winter in California. Professor St. John, professor of Physics for 1917-18, resigned in Aug- ust to accept a position in the experi- mental department of a carbon com- pany in Cleveland. Charles C. Mather, late instructor in English and able exponent and pro- moter of the histrionic art, is waiting his turn at the camp aeroplane at Camp Dick, Dallas, Texas, and in his somewhat enforced leisure, project- ing a. new dramatic thriller , 1...- . Margarite Martin visited her sister Josephine. Margaret Horton entertained her mother at Lois Durand Hall on Tuesday. Beth Thayer spent the week-end at her home in Chicago. National Service Following are some items which have come in during the summer from those in some form of National Service. The Commencement Sten- tor of last June contained a list of those engaged so far as we could gather it up to that time. Word has some from a good many, both in the United States and abroad, of the in- terest they had in that list. We wish it might be expanded and corrected, but this'is only possible through the cooperation of all concerned. No doubt there are constantly many changes both in ranking and in lo- cation and other names should have been added to the list if we had had the information about them. We have still a number of copies of that issue of the Stentor and they will be sent on request to any who ask for them. --Q-Q With the installation here of the S. A. T. C., there is new reason for building up and verifying that list and in a few months it may be much augmented through the names of graduates from the S. A. T. C. Any information from any reader con- cerning those who are in service in any capacity will be gratefully re- ceived. Roll of Honor Previously reported: 1917. Corp. Earl C. Adams, 138th Infantry. Died at Fort Sill, Dec. 30, 1917. 1914. Earl D. Milroy, B. A. Marine. Died 1918. 1918. Sergt. Walter Willert. Died about Aug. 1 of wounds received in the second Marne battle. 1893. Rev. John A. Linn, reported killed by shell fire Oct. 8, has been in Y. M. C. A. service in France for six months or more, and evidently did not shrink from duty which took him near the front. After graduation here, Mr. Linn studied for the Epis- copal ministry, and later was an ac- tive clergyman of that church until about 1912. Subsequently, he taught in the Howe School, Indiana, and at the time he entered national service was a master in the Trinity School, New York City. He was one of the ablest men in- tellectually in a class whose average was high, and active in all college enterprises, one of the outstanding at Camp Quantico, February, men of his time here. His father, Rev. John M. Linn, lives in Chicago 'tt 7731 N. Marshfield Ave. Profes- sor J. W. Linn of Chicago University is a brother and Miss Jane Addams of Hull House is his aunt. 1917. First Lieutenant Edward Orr, accidentally killed in France on Sept. 14, was a student here in 1913-14, well liked among the men and a mem- ber of the basket-ball team. He transferred to Chicago U., where he was graduated in 1917. As to his service, the best comment is the ci- tation which follows in connection with the award to him of the Distin- guished Service Cross by the Presi- dent on recommendation of General Pershing. First Lieut. Edward Orr, Deceas- ed, pilot, U. S. A. S., Twelfth aero squadron, for extraordinary heroism in the Toul sector, France, Aug. 28, 1918. Lieut. Orr, flying with Lieut. Phil A. Henderson, infantry observer, on an unprotected reconnaissance mission, encountered a patrol of eight enemy pursuit planes near the Amer- ican balloon line. The patrol was sighted just as one of them dived on the b all o o n with the intention of destroying it. Without hesitat- ing, Lieut. Orr attacked this plane and followed it to within fifty meters, firing his single front gun against the double guns with which the German plane was equipped. In the mean- time, Lieut. Henderson engaged the other eight planes, which attacked from the rear. After a violent com- bat all of the enemy planes were driven off. An Sept. 14, Lieut. Orr was accidentally killed. Next of kin, E. K. Orr, father, 5331 Woodlawn Avenue, Chicago, Ill. 1392. REG. Murdoch McLeod has just closed a four-months service as pastor at Camp Lewis, Washington. 1905. W.

Reverend Carroll D. Erskine who joined the Y. M. C. A. forces last spring has received an appointment as chaplain and assigned to Group 1, comprising the 1st and 2nd Battalion, 175th Depot Brigade, Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. 1909. William B. Marquis who was in Lake Forest for a short time on September 25th, has had work in connection with the cantonments all over the country since he took up that service at Washington last Feb- ruary.

THE STENTOR 7 On Damning The Kaiser HEN you have to Hooverize on all the things you like, when you have to study every night and get up in the morning hours before you used to-what do you do? Damn the kaiser! When the bugle blows un- expectedly and you have to say good- bye to your girl on the run-do you d the k ? When the influenza trails you like a bill collector-do you gargle desperately- damn the kai- ser ? Well, may be you don't but the rest of us do. It happens in the best regulated dorms--this damning-it is being done in our best circles, in fact it is almost universally popular. There is no wonder either, the phrase is be- coming in almost any situation if pro- perly accented. Such an indulgence gives a certain complacent feeling- you have not only eased your feel- ings, but it seems somehow, as tho you had done old Bill a personal injury-given him a little side thrust that would help in laying him out. It -doesn't exactly sweeten your coffee but it gives you more time to stir it and keeps the mind off of the ter- rible minuteness of the lump. So We all shrug our shoulders and wish the kaiser a bad end. Keep it up-swat the kaiser, but swat him in the ribs! It might hurt his feelings a trifle, if he had any feelings, to know that millions of peo- ple were wishing him ill but per- sonally we should rather hit him a real blow. Try damning him by sav- ing sugar, fats, and wheat, by drill- ing to be eflicient officers, by knitting eternally and rolling accurate band- ages. Get the very most 'out of your time and energy now in order to be prepared for the final blow. It is the only way to send your damns to Germany! . lgi. 1916. Dean Edgerton is now an at- torney at Law in Blythe, Calif. Much to his regret, he cannot get by the doctors and get into military service. 1916. Clarence A.

Ross. Mr. Ross had been in the em- ploy of the Atkins Saw Co. of ln- dianapolis, since his graduation, as a traveling salesman. At the time of his death the company could get no trace of any kin, but had his body sent back to Indianapolis, arranged for funeral services at an undertak- er's rooms, and provided a suitable lot for his burial. His fraternity will no doubt interest itself in the matter, and special effort will be made to lo- cate a married sister whose address is now unknown. VVhile in college. Ross was prominent in many lines of fudent activity, keeping at the same time a good record in scholarship. He was on the football team all four years, usually playing half-back, was class president in his Junior year, on Glee Club and class Forester Board. and in his Senior year, president of the Athletic Board of Control.

After leaving here he was oc- cupied as a teacher and minister until 1897, when he became engaged in lusiness in Chicago. le- Two on a Tour 'fA year ago I was placed in Class V by the Libertyville Draft Board for physical reasons of which I was never fully informed. As you probably know, I was married to Mary Roe in April and we came west via Ford. Euroute I have been visiting colleges and universities, as I have for the past two years, for The Century Co. of New York. To date we have trav- eled about 6500 miles and had a de- lightful trip. We spent a week i11 Yellowstone National Park and have visited almost all corners of Wash- ington and Oregon since arriving in the Pacific states some two months ago. For the most part we have camped. Our Fliver has a coni- plete camping equipment, bed. tent. diner, gas stove, etc., and we have become as much attached to our home on wheels as we could to any little bungalow anywhere. Speak- ing of Fords, we found a new name for ours, especially while crossing the mountains-O-phelia Bumps, and I can assure you that in some cases we have called her with much feel- ring. - J.
