vox COLLEGII 27 A nominating committee, consisting of the President, one member of the Executive Board, and three members not on the Executive, shall be appoint- ed to submit the names of candidates for office. Article 3. Standing Committee.— Convenors of committees in each chap- ter shall be elected at the annual meeting. Mrs. Richardson moved that the fund established in 1910, and known as the Scholarship Fund, be retained. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Whit- field, and after due consideration was carried. All articles of constitutian were duly and carefully considered before adoption, and we trust all absentees will approve of the action taken. Trafalgar Daughters will note that our hope of 1907 has been realized in so far as we have branched out just as the college home has done, and with the Governing Board as the Horne Chapter, have local chapters here and there, as Ottawa, Whitby, Toronto, Edmonton, each contributing to the Board, all one in purpose,— the ad- vancement of Womanhood, a bond of union and interest between College and College days and the world, the College the center of our interest. That the interest of our College is advancing, was marked by a motion to be forwarded to the Board of Directors by our Secretary requesting that a representation from our Association be elected on the Board of Directors. At the close of the session the Daughters accepted the cordial invita- tion of Miss Taylor, and adjourned ' the dining hall, where, with Dr. and Mrs. Hare, Miss Taylor, Mrs. Green- wood and the staff, the Association enjoyed a pleasant social hour. All too soon the hour passed, when Mrs. Gra- ham voiced the pleasure of the Dauo-b- ters in once again meeting- top-etber with our Principal, the staff and each other. Mrs. O ' Sultivan, with her ready Irish wit, led in the old song, ' ' They are jolly good fellows. ' Dr. Hare made a happy reply, and preparations were made for the de- parture of the guests, for, as of old, the bus came hurrying up to the door, and, thrilled with the pleasure of the home visit, we said adieu to our host and hostesses. PERSONALS. All Trafalgar Daughters were griev- ed to hear that Mis ' S Clara Chatter- son, the faithful friend of school days, is a patient in Wellesley hospital, and a message of sympathy was sent with flowers from the Association. We were glad to see again within O.L.C. walls Mrs. Burkholder, with her wee daughter. We hope in the near future to claim this College grand- daughter as a pupil. An ever welcome visitor. Miss Ada Robertson, was one of the Daughters at the Association meeting. Mrs. Madcr, nee Marion Pearson, an earnest student of eax-ly days of O.L. C, was especially vvel.:om2. Vve scarcely realized how the years have passed, until she reminded us that her daughter is to be married this autumn. She noted with interest the many im- provements in O.L.C. since her grad- uation day. The greeting from our late Presi- dent, Miss Burkholder, was one of the pleasures of the afternoon. We are glad the far west has not deprived us of the love and best wishes of Miss Burkholder. All those associated with her in College days treasure the mem- ory of those days together. We missed from our midst Mrs. Hol- liday (Nellie Harrison) and regret that sorrow prevented her from being wit us. We extend the sympathy of our Association. Miss Hopewell, of Ottawa, is to be one of the Tune brides. Trafalgar Daughters send wedding greetings. Trafalgar Daughters show their in- terest in education bv the awarding of prizes at the annual commencement.
