.WTQYVTTTTW ll lllbkw ll iv i i 2 Until not very long ago the whole of Talcott was called just Chapel With a flexibility that would surprise an outsider in so sedate a building, chapel is now congress, now church, now classroom, theater, ballroom. The S. G. A. holds its assemblies there, Where Boards recommendations are dis- cussed and voted on. The atmosphere changes with Miss Cheeks Chapels and the Y.W.C.A. Chapels every Friday. The music department gives recitals and vesper programs. Rockford town meetings are held in chapel and oc- casionally outside speakers give lectures here, to which our friends in Rock- ford are invited. During the year professors lecture, and departments present panel discussions. ln the Winter term, when the Sill stage is dismantled for basketball, the Freshman and Sophomore plays are given in Talcott, and ever and anon an informal dance is held there. Like other buildings of R. C., Talcott is an intimate part of our lives as dormitory and thoroughfare as Well as official meeting place. l9
