A plan formulated by the former Dean Dowell, this club materialized under the leader- ship of Miss Bize. The activities are field trips, exhibitions, and demonstrations supplementing al- ready established natural science courses. Marshalls The Marshals act as guides and official repres 'sentatives of the school itself in meeting visitors. They served at the Tuesday assemblies and usher- ed at evening performances in the auditorium. Upperclassmen were chosen on the basis of their academic standing and their willingness to serve in this organization. It enjoyed many social lunc- tions in addition to the many services to the school which it gave untiringly.

The Publication The Publication, the college literary magazine, was the result of several years of endeavor on the part of many faculty members and students. Its main pur- pose is to encourage an interest in the reading and Q writing of the poetry, essays, short stories, critical anal- yses, and plays written by members of the college com- munity and alumni. This magazine, which is pub- lished semi-annually, is exchanged with other colleges in an effort to stimulate intellectual relationships. A. Grossman, Mr, Mitchell, A. Miller, F.
