The news just came that Dean Spencer’s experiment of applying principles of psychology to cats who have been dis- turbing the whole college, has been successful. We hear that she walked calmly out on the porch about twelve o’clock Thurs- day night and said in a psychological tone of voice. Now look here; we've hail enough of this. The law of effect got per- fect results. Congratulations, Miss Spencer! -------------o------------- COLLEGE VISITS SWANNANOA The Montreat College Choir, under the direction of Miss Mary P.

Before the program the girls were entertained at 1 banquet at the Gresham Hotel. On April 22, a large number of students and the faculty drove to Biltmore to visit the Biltmorc Estate there. The great mansion, which was designed on the lines of architecture of the French Renaissance and was constructed at the cost of several million dollars, brought exclamations of delight and wonder from those who saw it. Inside the mansion is a priceless collection of various types of work of art and famous articles of historical interest. Among the latter is the desk in which Napoleon’s heart was sent from St. Helena to France. A perfect scale miniature of the Biltmore House is on display in one of the rooms. The ‘Court of Palms” is a sunken circular area just off the entrance hall ami contains many palms together with various other kinds of tropical growth. The beautiful gardens and the greenhouse are south of the house. There is a swimming pool on one of the terraces and a tennis court below. The greenhouse is filled chiefly with palms. Outside of the grounds immediately around the estate the party drove through sweet-smelling forests and rolling country until the Biltmore Dairies were reached. There they were given complimentary servings of the delicious Biltmore ice cream. Same of the party visited Biltmore Forest and the Biltmorc Forest Country Club. Nothing could, however, compare with the beauty and grandeur of the estate itself. The trip left a very good impression of the sights one might see on a tour through Europe. -------------o------------- JUNIOR-SENIOR COLLEGE BANQUET On Monday night.
