Ina Covel is the only living representative of the ancient cat-worshippers of Egypt. Though this religion, with its attendant rites and ceremonies, has prevented her studying biology, she has not neglected other branches of learning. We are proud to claim so distin- guished a person for Ninety-Seven and the Lawrence House. Margaret Griswold Cox, the niece of George W. Cable, once mourned that she was born as far north as Kentucky, and she still loves Dixie. Hers is a soul as zealous as it is sweet and true. Her words tumble over each other in their haste to express her thoughts, her eyes shine with earnestness, and her small feet fairly run in the path of duty. Katharine Priest Crane, the distin- guished president of the S. C. A. C. W., is marked by the breezy energy of the state which has the honor of being her birthplace. Her genial smile and cheery Hullo have brightened this sad world for many a home- sick Freshman — and perchance for some others. 16

Julia Elizabeth Cole early made her repu- tation as a young person of great possibilities — particularly in the line of breaks and basket-ball. It was but Sophomore year that she distinguished herself by her apparently very intimate knowledge of Monte Carlo, as well as of Monte Cristo. Ada Louise Comstock, a divinely tall daughter of the remote west, was sufficiently imbued with the hustling spirit of her native town to enable her to complete her course in three years. tier family has been distinguished in political fields, and only the accident of birth, namely that she is a girl, prevented her from taking a seat in a recent Congress.

She has been specializing in gymnastics throughout her course, stopping suddenly spring term, Senior year. We wonder why? i:

Harriet Isabeli.e Cutler ' s preparation for college was effected in a three years ' course at the Burnham School. To her dimples and the fact that her initials spell a WO rd, — and a Latin one at that — the supersti- tious ascribe her good nature and her good luck, though the former is seemingly dis- proved by the fact that she is now making life miserable for her eighth room-mate. Martha Hill Cutler. — A peep into one of her college note books would tell us much. Their pages, which never lost the appearance of perfect symmetry, even in the wild grasp for the detail of Horace ' s metres and of Dr. Gardiner ' s philosophy, reveal to us a predom- inant characteristic, that to her, order is Heaven ' s first law. Ida DARLING is small, which fact did not prevent her leading the Banjo Club sternly and well for two years. She, like other members of the class, had a sympathetic in- terest in Amherst, and devoted some time to a comparative study of the social life of the two colleges. }1
