Our pathways take us up steep trails to the top, only to show us how far down we must go to reach the foot of the next ascent. There are many beginnings. This book is like a mountain lake reflecting the beauties of miniature worlds about us, and giving a perfect outline of the first real peak we have conquered. From now on we shall be mounting, always higher. We have left the foothills. May this Microcosm of 192.9 show us, as we turn to look back, a panorama of the hills in our little world over which we have struggled so valiantly together to success. 47320 To Alban Bertram De Mille by whose beautiful thoughts and fine expression we are inspired; by whose rich personality we are charmed; and whose counsel we seek and value; to him we dedicate this book. To the Class of TS[ineteen Twenty-nine The lamp within the chapel shrine burns low, The young knight bows before his stainless shield. To-morrow he must venture far afield; To-night he dedicates, come weal or woe, Honor and love and faith to friend and foe. He lifts his head; the vigil-vow is made. No stain shall mar that shining shield and blade. . . . The day is come — he arms himself to go. So have you watched and waited. So at last The hour of parting strikes, and down the years You gaze, unknowing what the years may prove. Knowing but this: where ' er your lot is cast, No shade shall dim the life that now appears; These shall not fail you — Honor, and Faith, and Love. tfcJl vU Ce ft M .

When John Simmons first began to work toward his ideal of a vocational college for women, he could not have known that his work would have gathered such impetus from the start he gave it in 1867, when he made his will, that in 19x8 and 1919 it would still be extending itself. As a monument to the life of its founder, our college is ever growing. The main building is even now being enlarged. What great changes may come in the future we can not even imagine; but no matter what the physical aspect may even- tually be, we can see the College as we spent our four years in it, as it was when we paid tribute to John Simmons. 16 M  CR©COSM S5 Henry Lefavour, President, A.B., Williams College, 1886; LL.D., Williams College, 1902.; Tufts College, 1905; Additional Course, University of Berlin.

Many students begin by doing their lessons because they are assigned or because they want to get a good grade. Then suddenly for most students some course comes alive and the subject seems worth working at for its own sake. Teacher smiles and says, Miss is arriving, isn ' t she?

American libraries find women valuable staff members, and Simmons educates them to choose books wisely, arrange and catalog them well, and then make them available to men, women and children of the community.

Our philosophy is profoundly affected by our background of information regarding organic evolution, the natural causes of disease, and the body as the residence of the mind and soul. The crowning triumph of the sciences is in the realm of improving the conditions of liv- ing, and the quality of life, itself, through an understanding of those factors that promote health, and prolong life in a continuing state of usefulness and enjoyment.

The details which he must memorize, the particular deductions which he must draw from them, the experience of obtaining first-hand information by laboratory experiments, all of these may fade as time passes. If there remains, however, an appreciation that Nature is governed by fundamental laws which can be discovered by systematic search, carried on with absolute honesty, accurate observation, and rigid logic, the effort of studying chemistry will not have been in vain, and the object of the teachers in this department will have been fulfilled.

M  CR0)COS M j — T)epartment of History The times are out of joint; oh cursed spite That I was ever born to set them right. Hamlet ' s trouble lay in his self-centered and short-time view of life; extreme optimism often arises out of the same intellectual limitations. The balance wheel of a gas-engine keeps the motor turning smoothly, checking a too enthusiastic response to each explosion and preventing a lag between these isolated impulses. Without a balance wheel of historical knowledge, hu- man life becomes an unreasoning alternation between optimism and despair. G.

Increasing emphasis is being placed on improvement of personal hygiene; improvement that can be brought about only by the slow process of educating the public in principles of healthy living. Such education cannot be accomplished by mass methods alone; it requires a teacher of health who can bring to each individual personally the help he needs. In this country the public health nurse has become the health missionary; she is the field agent upon whom depends to a large extent the carrying out of the various programs for community health. The ever widening public health field demands nurses with sound fundamental education and technical training. Simmons College is helping to meet this need through its School of Pub- lic Health Nursing.

BABCOCK In the death of Miss Babcock, Simmons College lost not only an inspiring teacher and loyal friend but a beautiful character. Hers was an exhilarating ■personality, optimistic, self-forgetting, and brave. She was by temperament conservative, but her love of the old never made her blind or hostile to the new, and although she lived imaginatively among the Greeks of the fifth century, she had not lost her enthusiasm for the Americans , and especially the youth of the twentieth. Probably never in her life did she once ask, How little can I do? but always, Hoiv much! Her courageous spirit was a rebuke to the shiftless and the time-serving, and an inspiration to the deserving and honest. It is a great thing to be able to say of any one as can be said of her, She never spared herself. 48 nAmong the Alumnae Officers 19x8-1913 President Martha (Whiting) Burbank, 59 Bay State Road, Belmont Vice-President Margaret (Ridlon) Van Ingen, Lake Forest, Illinois Honorary Vice-president . . .

In fact, who can say that any one of Simmons ' classes is not splendid? But just to show that we are not seeking idle, empty praise, we can show you what records we are leaving behind us. And in so doing, it behooves us to show what capable, active, and worth- while girls have made ' 2.9 what it is. While it is not worthy to eulogize oneself and one ' s achievements, neither is there virtue in hiding one ' s candle under a bushel. If, therefore, in leaving with you a record of our accomplishments, you will take heed and set for yourself a goal beyond this, then our efforts will have further justified themselves. Never did a more verdant group of Freshmen grace the corridors of Simmons than we, when we entered in 1915. We are firmly convinced that since our admission, the entrants grow yearly less juvenile and more sophisticated. After selecting a comrade or two, we gradually oriented ourselves, though not without the help of the Faculty Orientation Program, and our Freshman Bible, which was virtually a Prayerbook to us. When we were sufficiently established, elections were held, and Miriam McKay was elected president. It was a fortunate choice, as shown later, when at midyear elections, she was unanimously re-elected, an honor hitherto unknown. It is with regret that we recall the names of many, that year prominent among us, but since, withdrawn. The Freshman Frolic proved a source of merriment and delight. Remember Pat McEvoy as Topsy? Florence Randall certainly deserved the prize she won for the funniest costume. The success of this party was due to the efforts of the several enter- tainers, and Sunny Eaton, Chairman. The Freshman-Junior Picnic, held at the beach at Marblehead proved a very successful get-together. We certainly grew to know our Junior sisters on that occasion. Knickers and bare feet usually do make people feel more intimate. Track Day that year was not without its thrills, for Marion Raymond won the individual cup, also the archery cup. This reminds us that the basketball champion- ship for that year went to ' 2.9 and the tennis singles honors to Marjorie Oettinger, ex- ' i9, and the doubles to her and Alleine Phillips. Many girls started at once t o work in various clubs and societies. Came the finals, as they say, and off we scampered to summer diversion. Thus endeth the chronicles of year one. All things must end, vacations especially. Recalling — or was it anticipating the Ode to Duty — we returned as Sophomores. This year we started immediately under the leadership of El Schuyler to do things. The struggle over the rope in Ghost Walk was absolutely nil when compared to the mental and verbal battles over the class ring. And, we are now glad to say, the good old S. C. won, changed only by a bit of hammering in some cases, symbolic, no doubt, of the struggle for its very existence. We are just beginning to realize that S. C. means more than sweet child and other nicknames. That settled, we thought it prudent to keep up with our big sisters by having a sort of prom for ourse lves, which we forthwith named the Sopho- more Shuffle . May we have a tiny flower from a bouquet for this? It is now an annual affair. In athletics we duplicated most of our previous records, adding the archery tourna- ment and the award for Track Day costumes, with Mary Geddes chairman of this committee. Marion Raymond received the individual basketball cup. 142 M ICU0)COSM Sophomore Luncheon was all we anticipated. Harriet Gilbert was an efficient and charming chairman; Rube made us giggle as she toasted the things one properly toasts; while Thelie Coombs in her orchid dress cut quite a figure, with the pussy all dressed up in a bow of the same color. The entertainment was in the nature of a prophecy, but due to the excitement of having our pictures taken, some of us didn ' t hear of our fate until several days later. And speaking of pictures! remember how funny the girl next to us looked? May Day dawned cold and wet; we dawned likewise, to watch the pantomime of the Sleeping Beauty. Strange to say, we almost forgot our discomfort while en- joying the entertainment and helping the strawberry shortcake to disappear. We have Jo Mang, ex- ' zcj, to thank for everything but the weather; she was chairman. This event was followed by elections, and the Sophomore-Senior Picnic. Barbara Bowen headed this excursion. Like the Shuffle, it was a first attempt, and proved very successful. Again, we tackled finals, this time with a sly wink; we knew we ' d come back. So we departed, leaving Rube Snow Chairman of the Junior Welcoming Com- mittee, as well as president of the class. During the summer we heard who our fresh- man was, or were, in many cases. Sometimes, we wrote very motherly letters, con- taining much advice based on the experiences of our own colorful past. September of 1917 saw us back again, this time as genuine upper classmen. During Freshmen Week, however, we learned, to our utter disillusionment that we were not upper classmen to the fullest extent because we could not command meek and lowly uncosmeticated freshmen to carry books and run errands for us with any degree of success. And, all this time, we were doing our best to show Boston to our sister class. How many of the scenes illustrated in this book did you proudly point out as Boston ' s finest? Field hockey took up time in the fall, but our record in that sport is not quite equal to that made in basketball. After winning the championship for the third consecutive time, we had the basketball cup given to us permanently. That record has not been achieved since 1914. It seems as though some people just can ' t miss a basket, while others of us could not even put the ball in a waste basket on the first try. On Track Day, we again were fortunate in receiving the costume award, thanks to Helen Kabisch ' s designing it. Marion Raymond won the individual cup for the third time. Have you ever seen her do her famous broad jump? No wonder she is the lucky member of our class to wear an S. A. A. blazer, the only one in College now. Our ability, however, is not all one-sided, as you can see by referring to the list of Academy members, as well as S. A. A. About twenty girls were initiated in November from the class of ' 19. Perhaps you think we weren ' t proud. During this time, too, we were able to produce several remarkably good actresses. As a matter of fact, Joint Owners in Spain drew the prize in the Class Play Competi- tion that year. Janet Cohn has won our applause in a great number of college perform- ances. Betty Madden, too, has played her part. Both of these girls coached the Class Plays this year. Back stage, also, there are stars that shine, and thunder that rolls. Aren ' t the stage hands and officials fascinating in their uniform (overalls, in case you have missed the sight)? Junior Prom was one of the outstanding events of the year, principally because that is the one thing all juniors live for. Many of us still carry our attractive white-kid pocketbooks that were our favors. The men ' s favors seemed highly appreciated also, as was shown by the way many were pressed into immediate service as cake boxes. Mary Geddes certainly did a splendid piece of work, with her committee, in planning such a perfect affair. The senior serenade was touching; even the men admitted that. Most of the girls and their escorts went in groups on house parties the following day, everywhere from Maine to Cape Cod. 143 MICDfUmSM 3 - ICRfCOSi Senior year started with a swish and a flutter as the most high Class of 192.9 marched through the vast corridors of the great institution in flowing robes and with majestic mien. Ah! Well, that is just the way we felt. Even the thrills of commencement could not surpass the excitement of our first public appearance as full-fledged seniors in our caps and gowns. Edith Carter was elected President of Student Government, and an excellent one she has been. It was our pleasure that she went to the Student Government Convention in Missouri just before Christmas. Marion Spearin took the Class President ' s Chair this year. We can be proud of all our officers this year as we have been of those of all of our four years . Senior Housewarming, as usual, turned out to be a Hobo Party. Never was such a motley horde collected. Try as hard as one could, no power on earth could imagine one of those picturesquely tattered tramps in stunning silken prom gowns. We can also whisper that much dignity was lost in the antics of certain individuals participating in such contests as cracker chewing and dressing in strange, knotted garments. We thank Fran Zink for this revelation; she was chairman. Another of our achievements is the revival of the MIC Show. This year it was a three- act play written and directed by the editor of Microcosm. By their applause, the audi- ence indicated that MIC Show had staged a most successful comeback. We hope that the future classes will do their part to re-establish the tradition of presenting a show of some kind, whether it be a musical one, such as the one of 1916 was, or one like Sally ' s Stand of 192.9. During the fall, along with other things, we were busy with field hockey again. Fran Sondergard was so busy with it that she won the individual cup — just one more of Fran ' s achievements. Speaking of athletic honors, we are proud to have four wear- ers of the S right in our midst. Marion Raymond, Florence Haynes, Alice Haynes, and Barbara Partridge are the girls. That, of course, is not the only award, for we have twenty-two in all wearing some kind of S. A. A. insignia. Again we won the basket- ball championship, which means the team was undefeated after four years playing. Later, Sally Redfern was elected Senior Prom chairman. That means another de- lightful prom. This year it seems has been very full of dances, but we are glad, for who knows when we shall get to another Simmons dance after June when we scatter to the far corners of the earth. Before closing, we feel that we must mention the fun we have had putting bricks in the new wing — theoretically, of course. A circus, a rummage sale, pledge cards, per- sonal services of all kinds, and a thousand good wishes; that is the way in which we have aided the new wing. We are glad that it wasn ' t done before our time, or too late for us to help actively, because we feel that it is partly ours, and that part that is ours, we are glad to pass on to those who are coming. Now, we ask you, you who have read this chronicle, don ' t you really think 1919 is a grand old class? We have done our best to make Simmons proud of us, and we feel sure that even if we have not set the world on fire, we have kindled a spark of admira- tion and respect in the heart of our Alma Mater. 144 --=35S«?

Here are united faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students; the whole college joins in the work of this body. With such a membership, the work is carried toward the one great aim of forming the policies, maintaining the integrity, carrying out the details, of student life at Sim- mons. It is a high purpose for which to strive and one that wholly merits every par- ticle of interest, cooperation, and assistance its members give to it. Since the membership is so large, the actual details of student government, legisla- tive and executive, are delegated to the Student Government Council — a body of eleven girls representing each of the classes. In its weekly meetings, the work is carried on in as responsible, as representative, as live a manner as such problems certainly warrant. 179 ICRdJCOSM s T. Parker E. Doubrfire H. Dorsey S.

Eleanor Snow Theone Wilson The purpose of Dormitory Council is to consider whatever problems may arise in any of the various college houses throughout the year. The members are the House Seniors and House Chairmen, so each dormitory is represented. Every week in North Hall this body meets to discuss rather informally the affairs of the residential Sim- monsites. In recent years Dormitory Council has adopted the Simmons Code, with a few minor variations, as we know it today. 180 M  CR©COSM sp=- Student (government Conference Committee Miss Mesick Miss Dow Mr. Steiger Miss Diall Edith G. Carter Eleanor Snow Katherine Adams Miss Enos All the reports of Student Government Council, Dormitory Council, and Judicial Board find their way to the Dean ' s table for the final action of Conference Committee. They are discussed; carefully considered; and, upon being accepted, immediately put into effect. Composed as it is of both faculty and students, Conference Committee supplies Student Government with the mature judgment of its faculty members. Student Gov- ernment greatly appreciates their friendly aid and loyal cooperation, and is grateful for their valuable services. 181 M  CR@COSM == —: . ' . -j ! y;?v - — - - ,. . ' I ' WIWI HIIIM O %.

It is an advisory body to whom anyone may go for help and advice. This board with the help of Conference Committee passes decisions on the offenders of the vari- ous social as well as academic rules of the College. It aims to spread a uniform inter- pretation of the honour system throughout the Faculty and Student Body. The four class presidents, a Sophomore and a Junior representative of Student Gov- ernment Council, and the chairman comprise this body. The President and Vice- President of Student Government are ex-officio members. 182 - 35S 2 M ICR©COSM stga? A. Hayncs F.

From the President ' s report of ' 09- ' 10 comes this quotation, In a place like Simmons where the trend is ever more and more away from the academic and intellectual the idea of keeping one ' s wits as nimble as one ' s fingers has tremendous potential signi- ficance. Monthly meetings, to which an outside speaker is invited and which are open to the entire student body help us to keep in mind the cultural side of college life. The speaker at the November open meeting was Walter Pritchard Eaton who spoke on Going to the Theatre in America. The neucleus of the new debating society devel- oped at one of the Academy meetings. 184 =33£S? M  CU@COSM sgssz F. Lloyd K. Cann J. Warren K. Marksrcin Christian Science Society Reader Kathryn L. Markstein Chairman Florence L. Lloyd Secretary Kathleen E. Cann Treasurer Jean L. Warren The Christian Science Society was formed for the purpose of giving the student body an opportunity to learn about Christian Science. To its members it brings a fuller real- ization of the value of friendship and cooperation and an increased love of friendship for all the students. Testimonial meetings are held on each Tuesday of the college year to which all students and faculty are welcome. One lecture on Christian Science is given each year by some member of the Board of Lectureship of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston. 185 - ss ?

Adelaide Ullian Faculty Adviser Miss Wilson The latest infant activity at Simmons takes the form of a debating society, which has been organized to fill a long felt need. Like all debating societies, its chief purpose is to train members to think on their feet, and to speak with ease. The society holds weekly meetings on Friday, the fifth hour and, once a term, have formal open debates on subjects of interest to the college at large. It is hoped that the society will improve enough to make it possible to compete with other colleges in the near future. 186 -==3S ? M ICR(DC0SM £sp=- E. Kimball Ellen l jchards Club President Esther Kimball Secretary-Treasurer Claire McTiernan The Ellen Richards Club tries to promote an interest in science and to encourage the feeling of friendship among its members. Open meetings are held throughout the year to stimulate scientific interest among the student body. An innovation this year was a meeting to which alumni in different branches of scientific work were invited in order to tell us about their work. Dr. Harley spoke at one of the open meetings. Other activities were initiation for the new members, a picnic, and a bridge. 187 ■ ICR COSM Forum President, Harriet Gilbert Forum is a dormitory organization which aims to keep the students in touch with world affairs. In order to accomplish this, speakers are invited to talk to the girls. Several interesting speakers were secured for the senior dormitories, among whom were Mr. Joshi, a Hindoo, studying at Harvard and interested in student welfare. An interesting talk was given by Mrs. Kim, a Korean, who also is interested in student welfare. The Sophomore dormitories were fortunate in securing the following speakers: Miss Sharpless, who spoke on World Peace; Mrs. Sargent, who gave a talk on her trip abroad; and Mrs. Parker, who talked of Migrant Workers. 188 -=355 3- M ICRQCOSM ss« - M.

In order to accomplish this, monthly meetings are held at which a representative of Business, such as Miss Fielbald of the Crawford Hollidge Tea Room, speaks to the club. Each year a representative of the club is sent to the nationa l convention. A tea is given at which the Sophomores of the previous year are admitted to membership. The Club is financed by food sales at Hall table and in the dormitories. 189 -= SS2 M lCR(DCOSM 3Z - I. Bcrgcr M. Shamroth J. Kozol N.

It is organized for study and open-minded discussion and believes that univer- sity men and women should prepare themselves for intelligent participation in the solution of Jewish problems. The activities this year have been many and varied. They include a bridge to welcome the Freshmen, joint meeting with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Menorah, dramatic meetings, and a formal dance. The club also took part in an intercollegiate Menorah meeting at which Dr. Arlosoroff spoke. 190 3S ? M •CR©COSM S3 =- A. Lorentzson J. Bush J. Warren F.

To all who like to sing, the club offers splendid opportunities for worthwhile, pleasant recreation. The joint concert with Harvard in Symphony Hall on April u was the chief event of this year. On March i we gave a concert with Middlebury in the Refectory, with dancing afterward. On account of the concert with Harvard the membership of the Glee Club was increased to two hundred. 191 M ICR(DCOSM £3Z=- M. Henriqucz F. Mage; E. Madden B.

The Simmons Newman Club belongs to the New England Province of the National Feder- ation of College Catholic Clubs. It is one of the most active organizations of its kind, and has long been considered extremely successful in its efforts to carry out the ideals of its Patron, Cardinal Newman. This year, in addition to the annual formal dance, bridge, and teas, Newman took part in a retreat for college girls, which was given at the Cenacle Convent in Brighton. The club also acted as hostess at a tea which was given for the New England Province of the National Federation in order to interest some influential Catholics of Boston in the work of the Catholic Clubs. 192 -==3S ?

The most important happenings in the history of the club this year is the chang- ing of the name — from Unitarian to Unity Club — and the drawing up of a constitution.

Several who had not appeared before pleasantly surprised us in the big play and the class plays. Miss Mesick expressed the opinion that she has never seen a finer selection of plays on the Simmons stage than has been shown this year. She also feels they were par- ticularly well done. In fact, she thinks that it has been the most successful year that she can remember for the Dramatics Club. Janet Cohn, well-known for her own excellent acting, succeeded in imparting that same ability to the Junior cast which won the prize in the competitive plays in March. Genevieve Young was accorded the best individual actress. Competition was unusu- ally keen. 196 - 35S ?

One of the most interesting spots in college is the bulletin board where the clip- pings and pictures are posted.

Who will deny that some looked too young to be allowed out of mother ' s sight, to say nothing of going to a party? We were too innocent to be afraid, however, and besides, some of us were al- most grown up. One boy wore long jeans and a girl had a long braid. We noticed they joined the rest of us when we played drop-the-handkerchief, London Bridge, jump- rope, and marbles, though we wore rompers and rag curls. We really used our new-found liberty very well except when we ate ice cream and lollipops in the morning and between meals. Those were given to us. What else could we do? We suspect now that they were part of a hardening process against pickle and ice cream at midnight. 214 -=35S ?

It was great fun and our pyramids were clever, if we do say it ourselves. How we surprised all those high-hat upper-classmen by walking away with the athletic honors. We ' d have had the prize for the costume, too, if we hadn ' t been required to wear gym suits. igzj This year we grew tails and ears. And of course we were catty enough to think the costume prize belonged to us. Anyway, we had the pleasure of watching another freshman class perform, but we still retained our athletic prowess. itjiS This year we became most ferocious looking tomcats (like those in the pic- ture) both in appearance and agility. We had to be; because next year we shall have to attend in mourning — our caps and gowns — . And though I hopped and jumped to show those young fry that there ' s life in the old bird yet, I realize now that the college yard has seen another old cat die. — From A Line A Day. 215 M 1CR0)COSM $g£3Z= Sheeted figures writhe and twine, Clammy serpents chill the spine.

Lavender, sweet peas, and pink roses decorate the tables. Snowy linen and gleaming silver seem to signify delicious food. Lavender ribbons issue forth from the fern in the center of each table as from some great Jack Horner Pie. On the head table stands a black cat, monarch of all he surveys. Now two hundred or more girls are seating themselves and at a word pull the rib- bons, to discover gold rings bearing an S. C. Now they are eating; now they listen to toasts and speeches which they seem to enjoy heartily. Now a man with black mous- tache reads a poem on rose-colored glasses. It is a birthday party, explains the stranger ' s mentor. The class of 19x9 of Simmons College celebrates its coming of age. They have now earned the right to be considered members of the Simmons family, and the privilege to wear the symbol of the member- ship, the Simmons ring. 217 - ' MIC COSM - Sophomore ZMay Day L-iZj Seniors, get up, get up. So sang the Sophomores in quavering voices on May Day morning. We could well taunt the Seniors for their drowsiness, for we were proud of our own will power. Astronomers say that the sun rises every day, but there are some who still doubt that it rose on that morning. A heavy, wet blanket of fog enshrouded the campus. Little chills of self-righteousness chased up and down the limbs of the Sophomores as the more strongminded Seniors drizzled out into the mist. It is one of the cruel facts of life that humans enjoy seeing their fellows suffer worse than they. On this occasion the audience were much amused to recognize the fairies tripping on the green in the usual diaphanous costume. Great was the admiration for the Spartan courage of our King and Queen, who watched the revels of their subjects with unfeigned pleasure and chatterless teeth. The familiar fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty was enacted with one variation from the original. Instead of being put to sleep, the Beauty had been transformed into a lifeless form of marble which needs must be thawed into life by the Prince ' s kiss. The actors proved their ability to perform under any atmospheric conditions. The traditional strawberry short cake was well received. It fulfilled the function of all good food by restoring drooping spirits to the point where life is considered worth living. 218 MICR(|)COSM The Weddings of ' 29 1 92.9-1917 Boston, October 1925 One of the most brilliant triumphs that this city has seen for many seasons was the wedding this morning of Miss 192.9 to Mr. 192.7, both of Simmons Col- lege. The bride, who was charming in pure white satin with a train which was regal in length, was preceded by two flow er girls, her nieces, and fol- lowed bv her maid of honor and four bridesmaids all in pastel shades. It was breathed that the ushers were of the gentler sex, but that is difficult to believe in view of their handsome masculinity. Both bride and groom are of large families. Refectory Hall was filled to the doors with Twenty-Seveners and Twenty-Niners. After a dainty wedding breakfast the newly-married couple departed amidst showers of confetti to a destination not divulged. It was gen- erally believed, however, that both bride and groom are at present too busy with their careers to leave on an extended trip. 1931-192.9 Boston, October 1927 The wedding of Miss 192.9 to Mr. 192.7 at this time two years ago was equalled in brilliance and interest by the mar- riage this morning of Miss 1931 to Mr. 192.9, twin brother of Miss 19x9. It was very fitting that Rev. Dr. Schuyler, who has long been a friend of the 192.9 fam- ily should officiate on this first Saturday after his installation. Again Refectory Hall was filled to capacity with the families of the couple. Notwithstanding the large number, however, a breathless silence reigned during the ceremony, broken only by Dr. Schuyler ' s fine voice and the some- what tremulous but earnest voices of the bride and groom. Only as the procession passed through the door did the quiet give way to a buzz of admiration. How beautiful — the bride — that gown — hand- some ushers — one heard only snatches. And, as the couple drove away, the cry: Too busy for a honeymoon — these modern ways. 219 MIC QCOSM Freshman-Junior Ticnic For it ' s always fair weather when good fellows get together. That this is truth was proved by the Freshman-Junior Picnic of 1918. Fouler weather from the point of view of a sailor could not be known. The Nantasket boat nosed her way through a grey screen. Rain come down in sheets, but all unwitting, we danced to the tune of the orchestra within. Those adventuresome spirits who cared naught for wind nor weather were rewarded later, however, when the sun came out and convinced the owners of amusements that it would be profitable to begin their season. It is said that two daredevils went in swimming. We have no casualty records to prove this. A basket lunch and a second boat ride this time on a choppy sea concluded the after- noon. The motion of the boat beneath dancing feet was not unlike the unexpected waves in the Refectory floor. In short, with Chappie playing, one felt quite at home. 220 M iciudcosm S3 Soft words murmured, gentle laughter, Faces drifting by, Melody floating, low tones wafted. Tints of sunset sky.

I ' m a bum Hallelujah! bum again — These words which were part of the battlecry of the deputation from cell 13, ex- pressed fitly the humor of the entire Tramp ' s Convention. Hoboes from every corner of the world, hoboes from every walk of life were represented at this great meeting. Many who had been forced by modern culture to lead a life which by baser mortals is called civilized, reveled in the chance to consider the bigger and deeper things of life. For there was a purpose other than that of sociability; namely, the house- warming of North Hall. What ceremony could be more fitting than an expression of what is sacrificed by those who live in houses! Doubtless, too, those present bade a sad farewell to that carefree wanderlust of undergraduate days. Weighty problems were solved that night, such as how to eat soda crackers with- out water and how to dress quickly in clothes which may have been dropped sud- denly by a railroad track. Doughnuts, cider, cheese, popcorn and apples were given with no such request as Saw the wood back of the house until many a tramp complained that the corners of his square meal hurt him. And then, he took to the road again singing, Hallelujah, I ' m a bum! 222 M lCR(t)COSM !S = Ye ChriHmas Dinner ' Come one, come all, the heralds call.

School of Household Economics This is more commonly known as the Diamond Ring Course. It is planned primarily for women who wish to keep house after they are married; to teach young children how to do the work; to write articles for the Home Ec. column in the News; to lecture on subjects of general interest, such as: The Use of Alaskan Wheat in Making Raised Biscuit and Influence on Cake Making at the height of 3937 2 feet above Sea Level of using flour made from Mexican Wheat; to make children ' s clothes last; plan layouts, and trim bonnets; to be consulting dietitians to Eskimos, planning bal- anced rations of seal blubber, whale meat, and reindeer moss; to compute grams of carbohydrates for domestic animals; to entertain with ease, conducting meals com- fortably in spite of difficulties in dealing with green maids; to preside at buffet lunch- eons with dignity; and to discuss with ease any subject while carving gracefully at dinner. This is the most rounded out and round-about course that Simmons has to offer. Practise work makes perfect all points emphasized in lectures and textbooks. Field work is provided under the auspices of the S.S.P.C.F.C. (Simmons Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Fellow Class Mates) by the distribution of laboratory prod- ucts among students in other courses. The four year programme or more leads toward the degree of B.S. (Butchered Scholarship). B. School of Secretarial Studies The programme in this course combines academic and cultural subjects with those of a technical nature. After completing four years of this course, a student should know how to take orders at the rate of 1x5 words a minute and transcribe them into action at the speed required by her instructor or employer. Office training is practised during frequent visits to the Dean ' s Office and Room 12.5. Cultural background is supplied by attendance at lectures and classes given in and about the college building and institutions on the other side of Massachusetts Avenue. Graduates of this school are placed in excellent positions shortly after graduation, that is, from one to fifty years. The types of jobs offered are varied, and those filled are unique. There are former graduates now filling positions commanding large sal- aries and great prestige. An example of such a position is secretary to the treasurer of the Association of Future Women Office Holders. This is very lucrative, especially when the treasurer herself is away. The hours generally range from 11 until 1 with an hour out for lunch and from 1 to 6 with the afternoon off. Remuneration is, of course, a secondary item. One young woman received $11,000, payable at the rate of $1,000 a year. Some girls receive board and lodging, and a few clothes (very few) while occupying honorary positions accompanied by the degree MRS. 232 MirD msM 8 iCR©COSM During the second term of the senior year, most of the students are sent downtown to concerns in order to gain experience in such duties as sealing envelopes, folding letters, typing, dusting books, and taking orders. C. School of Library Science. There is much demand in the library field for well qualified college women with at least one year of systematic study of library science. The demands come chiefly from public, college, and school libraries, but also from antique shops, prisons, and psychopathic wards. The types of work are diversified, including story-telling (prevaricating) the dust- ing of shelves, the sorting of waste paper, and other nerve-racking occupations. The range in the choice of positions and salaries is very wide, especially in the case of those who, upon completing this course, decide to follow other lines of work. Any students who contemplate finding enviable positions and earning fabulous salaries are doomed. Admission to the School is limited to women not over seventy years of age. General Prerequisites A woman who thinks of becoming a librarian should consider what are the desirable prerequisites in intellect, physical strength, disposition, tastes, habits, and character. Therefore among the traits desirable are: audacity, irresponsibility, ambidexterity, inertia, and ability to juggle piles of books. The best preparation begins in a home which is a regular recipient of Hearst ' s pub- lications, and where Cupid ' s Diary and Confessions are perused. Such a back- ground should be supplemented by illiterate surroundings. One who looks forward to being a librarian should have had past experience in the violent and destructive use of libraries and library property. The amount of such experience cannot be too great. Good health is important. The chances are ten to one that the first year of library work will produce at least a nervous breakdown, or St. Vitus dance. It is, therefore, advisable to be physically fit in advance. Setting-up exercises are strongly recom- mended. Librarians should keep early hours, retiring not later than 5 a.m. during the week. 233 COURSES OF INSTRUCTIONS History 1,2,3 A course aiming at the development of an apprehensive background in the student ' s mind. It is correlated with Foods 1, 1, 3 and Dietetics 400 by a study of the Diet of Worms and location of Frankfort on the Main. English 434 Appreciation of Comic Sections. Reading, discussion, imitation, and evaluation. The main object is to find the real meanings and allegories of seemingly obvious comic strips. A study of color and its significance is advised. Reports will be required on such masterpieces as Harold Teen, Tom Sawyer, etc. Assistant Professor O. Ima Wiseguy. Design 100 This course plays an important part in teaching the principles which enable the students to make their beds smoothly, comb their hair straight, keep notebooks in order, and make out registration cards legibly. Housebuilding 100 Starting ' with the study of Pyramids in Egypt, the student completes the course by plan- ning castles in Spain. The course provides a foundation for future appreciation of Ruskin ' s Essays on the Gothic. Accounts 4SY2 Accounting Theory and Fiction. A study of the fundamentals of bookkeeping with sup- plementary lectures from the library if kept too long. Practice in keeping entries on the back of postage stamps is also given. The Income Tax is touched upon and studied from the Ask Me Another point of view. Double entry system is used — in many cases triple, quadruple, and octagonal until the idea is mastered. Professor C. P. Ackountente. Management of the Household 100 A course broad in its field of application, teaching one how to manage the home and its members, how to get rid of household insects, how to outfit a kitchen on $70.00, how to differentiate between Axminster crockery and Dresden carpets. Cooperation with the department of physical training has been secured in waxing floors and wash- ing windows. The student gains an appreciation of the art of plumbing by an excur- sion along the piping system of the practise house. 234 as3 Mirn rnsM ICR©C0SM Biology i A simple course in the study of the bugs one may expect to find in lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, and beet greens. The first part of the term is spent in studying butter and eggs. The term ends with a study of the preparation of animals for cooking, frogs being used because the time is too short to allow for larger animals. Foods I, 2, 3 The student is introduced to the simple methods of food preparation — boiling of water, dropping of eggs, crumbing of bread, souring of milk, pulling of candy, and identification of spices. Hours are dependent upon the student ' s individual speed at dishwashing, her usual good luck, and her housekeeping duties. Any Student who receives marks above 99 44 ioo%is admitted as anhonorary mem- ber to the S.M.U.S. (Simmons Museum of Unique Students). Typewriting 04 Touch Typing. This system is used entirely. There is no other way. (Have you ever tried to type without touching?) Copy work is done in Latin, Greek, Russian, and archaic Hebrew. The original is English but the copy is usually transcribed into the above by beginners. The use of carbon is taught and excused. Tabulations are given attention; they need it. Erasing is practised, many methods being used, smudging and scrubbing being the most popular. Miss Hunt, Miss Pick, Miss Take. English 264 Commercial English. Open only to students who have successfully completed at least one other English course. Sales letters are studied and practised, selling such articles as gas stoves, garters, fur coats, and raspberries. It is a good opportunity to solve your father ' s business problems free. House Organs are also studied. (See Biology 1 and Music 13.) Writing copy for advertisements is another point taken up. Wrigleys, Listerine, Old Gold, and other classics are used as models. Mailing lists are compiled for Xmas cards, proms, and piano movers. Professor M. I. Willing. Library 41, 42, 43 Cataloging, Bibliography. The most minute and confusing instructions are given as to the making of entries, cross references (extremely cross!) and subject headings. After completing this course, each student should feel intimately acquainted with each and every author, editor, and translator; so much so that pleasant familiarities, such as strangling or drowning, may be indulged in upon meeting said genius. Also, the stu- dents should feel qualified to cope with any book which may come into their hands. Disregarding a natural desire to bathe each volume in the Charles, they should read 235 MirnArncM M  CR®COSM the title page with eager avidity, and copy — AS IS — with the exception of such minor details as: imprint, edition, series note, etc. (Incidentally, the catalog cards composed by Simmons graduates must always be distinguished by decorations in the form of blots and visible erasures.) A very negligible portion of the time is spent in scanning various bibliographies, chiefly foreign ones. This is undoubtedly a favorite course with the students. Much amusement is derived from the quaint foreign phrases encountered in these books. Problems are assigned, which provide a diversion reminiscent of the cross- word puzzle, and the Ask me another fads. The foreign bibliography course is guar- anteed to give one a swearing acquaintance with every known language. Associate Professor See, Miss C. Also. Library n hj, 15 hf. Classification. The art and science of classification is studied, especially as applied to the classification of books by the Dewey Destructive, the Cutter Exhaustive, and the Library of Confusion classification systems. This course tends to make the student per- fectly unable to place a given book in any of the known 2.60 million classes. No libra- rian is properly equipped for her work unless she has pursued this course. It enables one to note all the illustrations, read most of the jokes, and scan several chapters of every book considered in the laboratory periods, for classification. In this way the students acquire a wide knowledge of literature of every kind — a knowledge which will be of great service to them in later years. Assistant Professor Accession, Miss Filology. 236 Tarlor Spice PAGE THE SWEET PEAS Here lies the body of Samuel Pease, Gone are the peas, Left only the pod; He shelled out his soul And went up to God. HELP WANTED The teacher was giving a drill on the use of the comma. The visiting superin- tendent suggested that it was all nonsense. Maybe you ' re right, she said, but just see if you think so in this case: ' The superintendent says the teacher is a fool. ' Now, said the teacher, insert a comma after superintendent and after teacher. THANKS JUST THE SAME Child sliding off roof: Oh Lord, save me! Oh Lord, save me!
