T. .he center of discussion on current affairs, Agora at Wellesley takes its name from the marketplace of Athens. The spirit remains the same. True, the names of Churchill, Roosevelt, and Nelson did not appear in the ancient Greek discussions — hut then neither did the speakers wield needles and yarn for war relief! With Louise Countryman ' 42, as president, one of the most informative and interest in ' years the society lias known may be put on record. AGORA

At the foot of Tower Court hill, some of us, leaving our bicycles near the garden path, go into the timbered house which is the center for Elizabethan spirits. Others, led by interests in poetry, art and music, modern drama, the classics, or the social sciences, meet in their chosen one of the five society houses which stand on Tupelo Point, bej r ond the still, translucent waters of Longfellow Pond.

Virginia Hegeman, ' 42, presided over the meetings, which, if not always Olympian in tone, were infused with AKXian merriment. At the Thursday afternoon informal teas and the Sunday evening vespers, always well-attended by members and guests, a mbrosia and nectar of the New England college variety were served.
