dent, planned several closed meetings for the group and also presented to the student body Dr. Hans Rothfels of Brown Univer- sity, who spoke on ‘‘The Historic Back- grounds of German Policy in Eastern Europe.” Everybody says Tertulia, led by Betty Ann Fell, has the best parties on campus, with Spanish records and mantillas lending atmosphere. Both Le Cercle Frangais and Le Cercolo Italiano have built reputations for themselves by sending bags of toys to French children as well as having open meetings and parties. Mary Lou Vincent and Charlotte Hewitson, respectively, are the presidents. When Adelaide Dunbar called a meeting of the combined Romance Languages Club, you had Wheaton’s ver- sion of the Tower of Babel. The members of Der Deutsche Verein are lucky, because they learn from Mrs. Korsch about a German life which is totally charm- ing. At private meetings they sing ‘‘Muss’ I’ Denn”’ lustily, sip coffee sweetened by whipped cream, and eat spicy little cookies covered with powdered sugar. They meet formally for lectures, which president Ellen Greeley plans, and this year they pre- sented to the college Dr. Fritz Karsen of Bryn Mawr, who spoke on ‘Progressive Education in Germany.” The program of the Science Club, headed by Eleanor Haggett, included many inter- esting closed meetings, at one of which high speed movies were shown. Miss McBride, Dean of Radcliffe, spoke on “Brain Lesions” at a meeting open to the college. Jane Adams and the Vocational Com- mittee presented to us at interesting con- ferences speakers from various fields of work. These lectures aided us considerably by showing just what opportunities for jobs lie ahead of us after graduation. Scientifically Speaking { Page 17 }

What's Doin’? Gr The bulletin boards are constantly flaunting notices concerning one or another of the numerous departmenta] clubs. Everyone is able to find a group which is sympathetic to her own interests. This year of al] years we took our current events seriously and supported with a will the projects planned by President Dot KJoss for International Relations Club. In mid-winter we heard Dr. Irving Leonard of Brown speak on South America, and our interest in things Latin-American was increased when we attended the spring meeting at which our South American students, Nat Heller, Sonia Souffront, Corinne Williams, Julia Fernandez, and Pauline Driscoll, told us about life in their home countries. One night a week we took part in the discussions planned by Jane Dickie, and now we bid an early Bon Voyage to Ruth Detlefsen, who will spend the summer in Peru on the I. R. C. scholar- ship which Phyl Lord and her committee raised by running a style show, selling on election night, raffing meal tickets at Marty’s, and persuading us to give up a Wednesday night dinner for beans and jello. coffee Wheaton classicists gathered at Miss Work’s house in the fall for the first meeting of the Classical Club, and after mid-years Patricia Dimelow, president, invited every- one on campus to hear Dr. Frederick Grace of Harvard speak on ‘‘The Cult of Zeus at Olympia.” Last fal] twenty-three of us, dressed in white, gathered in Hebe parlors. With tea and cookies and a word of welcome by Jane Dickie, we were initiated into Whea- ton’s honorary literary society—Psyche. Psyche’s program this year included a meeting with Mr. Boas on ‘Modern Trends in Poetry,” and an open meeting at which Mr. Charles Hill spoke on “Boswell.” We will not forget the evenings in the student parlor, talking about poetry, metaphysics, and literary criticism. There were eight Seniors and five Juniors this year who were the fortunate invited members of Agora, the honorary social science society. Anne Gladding, the presi- { Page 16 }
