In this developed print, why must there loom Deceptive glass in pitch hued lines of net, Like snaring spells the Neo-Druids set, To vex attempts to see into this room? Why must the door which leads beyond the gloom Be only open wide enough to let Me see one soul before a slate and get No more from that than what I might assume? I wonder at those two fogged smears of white That stand out through the grave door's three squared panes And stretch behind the man Whose Words I see, But cannot read because he writes too light- Ly his one dusty line-so, though his right hand strains, Just he and careful light formed shades shine through to me.

Black, President of the Board of Directors of Lindenwood College. Dr. Calvin Darlington Linton, dean of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at the George Washington University, was the principal speaker of the afternoon. An enthusiastic audience received his remarks on the role of the liberal arts college today. Ceremonies concluded with Dr. Brown's in- augural address. To a responsive crowd numbering about one thousand persons, the new President spoke of his esteem for the college community, and also suggested several modifications in its structure. The audience seemed most receptive to his proposing the possibility of a male enrollment in the math and sci- ence departments, provided that, as Dr. Brown em- phasized, no qualified young woman were denied admission.
