cultural activitie committee The Cultural Activities Committee, an outgrowth of the Assembly Committee, presented interesting and varied programs to the college this year. Assemblies and dorm discussions were aimed at bringing more culture to the campus. The first assembly speaker was Dr. Winifred E. Bain, President Emerita of Wheel- ock College. Reverend A. L. Kershaw fascinated his audience with his stimulating talk on jazz. Two faculty members, Dr. E. Brooks Smith and Mr. Robert Meredith, reviewed parts of their new children's book with Mr. Paul Ellison narrating. Dorm discussions on African affairs, summer experiences, and current books brought informative sessions directly to the girls. The students, faculty, and administration commend the Cultural Activities Committee for an outstanding first year. Rev. Kershaw speaks on jazz l i Assembly Committee: P. Plant, L. Close, T.
