During the time in which Potter ' s Notch was in rehearsal, work was also started for George Washington Slept Here under the capable and proven directorial ability of Mr. Fred Little. ' When the final performance of this poignant story of disillusionment and suffering had been given m early May. the members of the Players, feeling that they had satisfactorily accomplished the task which they had assigned themselves at the beginning of the year, looked with hopeful- ness and expectation to the future and the possibility of even more than three produc- tions a year. 213

American Chemical Society I ' HE American Chemical Society, some years back, appeared on the campus as the Lavoisier Society. In 1936 it was known as the Nieuwland Society and, since 1937, Manhattan has been the home of a chapter of Student Affiliates of the American Chemi- cal Society. The society continues this year with its two-fold purpose: to give chemistry students the stimulation of professional association, and to aid them in presenting technical ma- terial before audiences. Word reaches us that their activities took the chemists on a tour of a brewery on one of those warm spring days. 215
